I love all these yahoos that are defending BFL, notice how they've been around for less than 4 months.. some of them only 2. They have yet to be scammed by BFL, so just let them blow their hot air.
Make sure to report back to us on the success of your BFL orders and all those BTCs you made...
"Oh look, he's only been here for 2 months cause that's when he joined, he's a wanna be fanboi!"
Don't strain yourself patting yourself on the back. I've spent many months lurking on here, it's just that now when the realization sinks in that these little magic money making boxes WON'T make you millions that people have come out in droves crying. Yes, I was late to the bitcoin party but I also spent 4 months reading and thinking before placing my order with BFL. Then I spent more months reading and laughing, cause *I* knew what I was getting into when I purchased. My computer runs 24/7 and I used to use my GPUs for GIMPS so I had a set energy cost already with $0 gain. Now I'm up over 25 bitcoins and I have not spent 1 red cent more than I would have if I were still with GIMPS. Case in point, my electric bills have actually gone down, because none of the CPU coins out currently tax the CPU as hard as GIMPS did.
Everyone on this forum has their 'favorite company' to get behind and cheer for. Pfft. None of them will pay off unless the value of BTC rises, which it is likely to do. People bring up the difficulty repeatedly during their whines about not getting their BFL products. "*I'M* losing money!!!" Bullshit. I built a time/motion study based on BFL shipping on time last Oct and only producing 1 1.5TH mini rig per day for 60 days, adding 90TH to the network. With the price of BTC at that time, you'd have heard the same thing then as you are hearing now, cause RoI would be rapidly dissappearing for all but the ones who bought 1st. While not exactly accurate,
http://bfl.ptz.ro/ paints a good picture. I see 20.82TH from 'known' day 1 orders from the 49 listed on there. 1/3 of my time motion study from 'KNOWN' orders and there's potentially 3-6x more UNKNOWN! Sorry to say, but if they had shipped on time, NO ONE WHO BOUGHT IN JULY OR LATER would make back the BTC spent. The value has since risen, so those smart enough to hold onto their coins WOULD have profited, which is the same case as now.
All of you are freaking out over the water that has risen to your ankles, but from what I see, none of you are listening when I point out the Tsunami about to break over your asses. Conservative estimates on my part indicate 10 PETAHASH or in excess of 1.2 BILLION difficulty by the end of Dec. Admittedly this assumes BFL, Avalon, KnC, Cointerra, Etc, Etc, Etc, Etc all ship or put online as they state.
BFL is the main target becasue they took the bulk of these orders over the last 14 months. Many people are now demanding refunds and buying from competitors, but the end result will still be the same.
Yea, BFL is shipping slow... but... imagine where the difficulty would be today if they HAD gotten their shit together and shipped everything last Oct/ Apr / Jun...
Hate to tell ya trollboy, *MY* eyes seem to be the only ones that are open here.
