Don't worry..after the Monarch he will be able to upgrade to the Brooklyn bridge



Code:
George C. Parker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Parker (1870–1936) was one of the most audacious con men in American history.
He made his living selling New York's public landmarks to unwary tourists.
His favorite object for sale was the Brooklyn Bridge, which he sold twice a week for years.
He convinced his marks that they could make a fortune by controlling access to the roadway.
More than once police had to roust naive buyers from the bridge as they tried to erect toll barriers.


Code:
Butterfly Labs

Soon to be on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Butterfly Labs (2012–2014) was one of the most audacious long con "companies" in Bitcoin history.
They made their living pre-selling Bitcoin mining hardware to unwary community members.
Their favorite object for sale was revolving 'new mining hardware', which were pre-sold every
few months for the years they were in operation. BFL convinced their marks that they could make a
reasonable "ROI" by pre-ordering hardware, that was delivered in some case 12 months late.
More than once the community had to start threads and warn naive buyers from
buying BFL products as they continued to buy units that were merely vapourware,
and were hard pressed to get refunds from PayPal, Credit Cards and rarely if ever if they paid in
BTC or wire transfer, in direct conflict with FTC regulation.

I like BFL almost as much as I like hemorrhoids and root canals. When they finally ship my 5gzh miner, it wont be worth opening the box.

I also love BFL as I was able to sell a $1200 Feb pre-order for $2500 because of their expert deceptive marketing! The buyer upgraded his order to a Monarch and I really hope he does OK but I still feel a little bad since I doubt he will come out ahead...

Guaranteed oversight by BFL. You too easily give them credit. Free GH is not a BFL customer satisfaction tactic. Some other poor mark who paid for 7 GH just got a 4.5 GH Jala  Roll Eyes
And I bet will get no answer from customer service, he will be just ignored till he gives up.

I got my Jalapeno yesterday. Fired it up today and guess what. It is hashing at at 7.8 GHs. I didn't pay for the upgrade. I thought I was getting a 5 GHs model but it looks like they just gave me a free upgrade. Nice. I know I won't ROI but still pretty cool of BFL. Thanks Josh and BFL for all of your hard work.

I like it when they say "Talk to the hand!"

More like "High FIVE! Fleeced another mark."

It's a far cry back to the time when anyone with a personal computer could participate, spreading some economic hope around the world to people who have limited access to paths to prosperity.

Purchased a Jalapeno last September, upgraded it to a 60GH in April, and sold it today for $3000 cash as soon as it arrived. Guess I can't complain, but I guess the lying and overall customer service unpleasantness (Jody is a cunt) left a sour taste in my mouth.
I don't want to bust your chops, but this statement rang particularly ironic with me, given your nic and your adverstising a bitcoin based business in your signature.

Why?  You take delivery of your Jally and then sell it for an amount of USD which can only be earned back by a future order-of-magnitude increase in exchange rate, if even then.  The result will be  another person ultimately disallusioned with bitcoin and newly convinced it's a big scam. 

I'm not picking on you; the asic revolution has replaced the front face of bitcoin with people whose main concern is their own enrichment rather than people who embraced the notion of the currency and would press to extend their ability to transact in the (few) coins they earned mining, or those which they themselves took in trade. 

That started the day the first guy figured out that a video card could produce the too-simple proof of work in a massively parallel way.  On that day, the cost of participation in bitcoin began to rise, to the point now that it takes thousands of dollars for hardware that may or may not ever pay it back. 

The only ones with thousands of dollars to "invest" in bitcoin are those who are so heavily invested in First World fiat systems that many have no genuine interest in bitcoin, beyond hope for the value to rise, in fiat terms, and then only to more quickly -if at all- recover the fiat capital they invest in the hardware.

BFL didn't start that; they only capitalized on that corruption, and perfected it by bringing in the methods of abusing and fleecing new entrants into classic and conventional "get rich quick" schemes.  Selling your Jally for $3,000, you are just joining in that corruption.   

It's a far cry back to the time when anyone with a personal computer could participate, spreading some economic hope around the world to people who have limited access to paths to prosperity. 

It's a long way down the road to the ultimate stagnation, and fade into history, of the experiment.

Be grateful that Jody's cunt didn't leave a sour taste in your mouth  Tongue

I learned a whole new way of getting free loan for your tech company, just make your claims too good to be true and your set.
Thank you BFL!

Yeah Josh and company would like us to believe it took 10+ months to start delivering a product that others are doing in 2 months (BitFury) and we will see if the others (KNC, Cointerra...) can do in 3-5.
