I wonder what difference it makes who visits ? as long as we get videos of ASICs performing, and pictures of the assembling line, then that's all the proof we need.
I like sunbreak now.
Anyone who has been compensated by BFL or is already a public proponent should be excluded, let's keep this an unbiased site visit.
I agree. I think gmaxwell would be a good choice, if he's interested.I don't, the developers/maintainers of bitcoin should remain neutral on all hardware issues and eliminate any possible conflict of interest.

If i am informed correctly, sunbreak does not have a stake in this one way or the other, he would be a good impartial judge. He is also very knowledgeable in the area.

Sure, I'll go ... and it's true ... I do not own any fpga's or have anything invested in asic's nor did I invest any money with pirate for that matter.
As for credentials;
I personally run a 57 ghash/sec gpu only mining cluster on 110x6950's and 24x5970's on 24 machines with no AC and using only 20kW.
I'm the author of strippedminer the 187mb netboot mining distro.
I originally wrote all the --auto-fan --auto-gpu code that is in cgminer as an external script and independently sponsored the ADL implementation in cgminer by conman).
I also was the one suffered lengthy testing with conman to reveal proper methods to restart stalled gpu's in cgminer.
I identified and diagnosed the lack of dns caching and http connection reuse in cgminer which conman reimplemented as a curl ring buffer saving all of our routers
Well that's enough, I've done lots of stuff in the community ... and I would love to get a chance to put bfl to the test.
After that... anyone but Jesus.
I've resold units to people here on the forums & think I've developed a decent reputation, but that's for the community to decide.
You also sold your sig space to them
.So y-dog?
My next choice is Steve Gibson. No idea what his Bitcointalk alias is, if he even has one.

I dont know if joelkatz knows anything about mining/hardware, but if he does he has my vote.
Dust is a good choice too I think.

Hah! What makes you think I'd want to spend my own money on international airfares to benefit BFL?
Have you even flown from Sydney to LAX? Not exactly enjoyable, especially just to do it again the next day.
Flying anywhere to/from LAX is not very enjoyable.

I think dust had a good response, too.
Many other good options here.
Gigavps has a solid reputation, but I'm not sure we need more responses from him supporting BFL.
I'll also express my interest to come see the facilities. I've received 15 BFL Singles & have a good $15k in pre-order ASIC technology.

Well, do you want to go to Kansas City?
(in the US preferably, unless the non-US person wants to pony up a ticket)
No.

I 2nd abracadabra and sunbreak.
Joel Katz would be the best solution. He's critical but not to the point of fanaticism.
I agree with this. I like JoelKatz' uncompromising, but fair, scepticism. sunbreak

Sorry for get away from topic for a moment, this means the beginning of November had not yet begun shipments?

Yes, DrHaribo!

I would like to know what one or two individuals (in the US preferably, unless the non-US person wants to pony up a ticket) that Bitcoin Talk community would nominate and accept as credible, verifiable individuals to be flown here to KC sometime around the end of October/Beginning of November time frame to see our facility, inspect the manufacturing equipment and test out the devices. We don't have an exact date yet as to when we would do this, but I would like to get the ball rolling as far as names in the hat and see if there's even a vague consensus on who the individual(s) might be.
+1 BFL_Josh.
Reeses!
Put me down for gigavps, if he's a willing participant.
Anyone appearing in this photo should be disqualified:
The reasons should be fairly obvious.

Excellent choices.
