These are simple questions - I don't know why you aren't just answering PG's stuff with answers instead of saying he's wrong with nothing to counter it.
SgtSpike, you are usually pretty rational and I respect your opinion quite a bit, but are you really advocating that I release details about our lease information? I'm sorry, but that is just utterly ridiculous. There are no discrepancies in the statements made by BFL. The only discrepancy here is the validity of the "detective" work that's been done. I've posted pictures of the equipment in the past on the BFL forums, but just because some idiot on the internet reads a questionable website and then makes up bizarre scenarios to fit some twisted, tortured logic does not constitute a situation where I need to explain the inner workings of BFL. I probably should have just let PG and PR drone on about tinfoil hat crap, but I figured I'd interject real quick to let everyone know that everything they've posted is ludicrous.
Stop and consider for a moment... people are seriously asking for our lease information. Seriously. I am almost speechless. Call up any other hardware vendor in the world and ask them for a copy of their lease, see what they tell you.
By all means, people are welcome to believe it if they want it honestly makes no difference. BFL has been more open than any other ASIC vendor with regards to our technology and our procedures, but as usual we don't get any credit because dumbasses want anal probes and access to proprietary, competitive information. It's those self same individuals that have pushed us back from releasing more information, because any time we do, it's picked apart and if everything doesn't turn out EXACTLY like we were hoping it would, we get a bad rap. So it's better to say nothing and let people wonder. That's what the unreasonable demands for information have brought us to. This is just another example of it.
So PG and PR, by all means, continue your tinfoil hat speculation.
