Don`t panic! Organize!

The sadness here is how they've led our community astray just to achieve a monopoly in "gold pan" business. Hopefully many remember what happened in Klondike, and how profits were distributed between miners vs mining supplies salesmen.

You'd also have to be delusional to think they are alive.

Clearly.

Still, I don't understand why people conflate "incomplete" with "nonexistent". What strange dichotomous worlds some people must live in.

Perhaps a more accurate phrasing would be "does not yet exist with respect to the bitcoin network". If no hashing for the network has been done by a BFL ASIC, then from the networks point of view they do not exist even if complete.

I am sure they don't exist at this point. If they would exist,
a) BFL would have proudly shown the world a working prototype.

You're confusing "existence" with "products ready to ship". A baby exists for many months before it is born.

You got me! The page looks real, so I went hunting YT to view the video. Couldn't find it, so I took a second look at the image, then realized my error--view count.

You'd have to be pretty delusional to think they don't exist at this point.

I am sure they don't exist at this point. If they would exist,
a) BFL would have proudly shown the world a working prototype.
b) Yochdog and Kano would have visited BFL to inspect their ASICs - and testify: "Yes, they are real".
c) the forums would be full with posts like "Haha - told you so, sucker!".

I mean, if it was a scam, BFL would most likely have mysteriously disappeared by now, along with all the pre-order cash/coins.

I don't know if it's a scam - or not, if BFL will deliver one day - or not. Time will tell ...

the parallel universe where BFL ASICs exist - alive.

You'd have to be pretty delusional to think they don't exist at this point.

You'd also have to be delusional to think they are alive. So I'm thinking he was using hyperbole.

Edit: I'm not on any side here, but if I was I'd lean toward BFL fulfilling orders at some point.

This ASIC circus is sooooo entertaining

Maybe they are long gone by now but their always so defending "not pr guy" does not know about that yet?  Huh

Seriously... Is there any actual info aviable about their (or any) ASICs besides all that nonsense?  Roll Eyes

The real question is if the current batch will work. I'm putting a 50% probability on them being able to ship something in Jan.

TBH at first glance I actually thought it was something you did and you were taking the piss. It could be interpreted either way and not very slandery, really.

+1

I found it funny too. And pathetic in a way. Because it seems the asshamsters have to try harder and harder each day to keep their mass delusion - the parallel universe where BFL ASICs exist - alive.

Slandering is not an appropriate way to advertise a product.

Seems the important point is the Put Blah Blah Blah in your signature space. This isn't a purchase so Yeah if you want a shot put it in your signature it costs nothing. Maybe pride or ego but nothing monitarily. I am pretty sure there is no accepted exchange rate for pride or ego to $.

Providing advertising for a company is a form of consideration. Requiring some form of consideration for a sweepstakes turns it into an illegal lottery.
It's only advertising as much as requiring people to like & share a page on Facebook is (thereby advertising it on their newsfeed).  If this is illegal, then I know of a whole host of companies on Facebook who should face similar indictments.

There was a CEO that got slammed by the SEC for a Facebook message, I forget which company though.
...which is completely irrelevant to this.  He was slammed for announcing information over Facebook that should have been "more formally shared with investors" first.

Just saying, if the government wants to bone you over trivial shit, they will.
Valid point.  Wink
