Here is what butterfly labs brought to CES.
2x $100 android devices, some cases for a product they can't demonstrate, and a box of fans that they say will 1 day contain ASIC chips and they sold 100's at 30k each but haven't ever made one.
Every search for bitcoin had a butterfly labs pre order ad.
They are still desperately grasping for cash and not able to show 1 ASIC device mining @ CES?
when I questioned Dave about butterflylabs ability to produce ASIC chips he accused me of not believing in bitcoin which sounded to me like classic scammer talk
At this point I would stay away I got that bad feeling again. ...
I thought the color choice for highlights is nice.
1) just made the jump from iOS to Android. I heart this Galaxy Note 2 with all the heart I have left after most of it went to my sweet daughter born 12-27-12 name annamicon she will be hot like my wife and lead the group of crypto-activists we will grow for years from these grass roots. All nerds worldwide will follow the hot annamicon (pronounced ah-nah-mah-con) (her name is Anna Micon)
2) I am going to go sneak back into CES tomorrow (I will video tape the entrance with my galaxy note 2, which I see nerds staring at the device when I walk by, it's the biggest / newest phablet out there and those S3 users are a little jealous of my s-pen) and just get really good high quality video and upload it to youtube of exactly what the BFL setup is and let Dave introduce it. My channel has reasonable following, so this is good advertising for them they should put on a good show. Unfortunately I am going to video tape 3 cases, a box of fans, 2 $100 androids, and an FPGA that may or may not be mining and definitely isn't for sale from BFL. Dave himself will explain the setup. I will try my absolute hardest to just give a fact-based video recording of the BFL setup and give Dave ample time should he care to explain what it is they brought to CES.
IMO this is epic. You guys may have done it again, this time it's gonna be Pirate X 5 or so. A new mark may be set $25M in, box of fans out so far.
I'm quoting this just in case you want to read it later.
I will overdeliver on this point.
Epic CES video being edited / uploaded.
teasers:
1) I easily once again sneak in to CES
2) BFL guy literally hands me an actual quarter (I have the quarter) and tells me to get a clue instead of talking with me about his product on display at CES
3) I take a very informative and well-spoken interview from the Bitpay guys about their round of funding, and congratulated them on spreading the bitcoin gospel and generally working for good. I further explained I am starting an ecig company and will be of course using bitpay as my bitcoin processor.
4) start filming the box of fans & $100 androids & 3 plastic cases they brought to CES (from afar, they are sort of guarding their equipment at this point and I moved to the other side to interview the Bitpay guys) and explain that BFL has been given roughly 50x the amount of funding that bitpay has just received, but in the form of pre-orders. At this point I'm pretty sure the BFL guys called Venetian security because...
5) I get kicked out
Epic video on the way. BFL a total scam, they act exactly as scammers would and I will show you a perfect side-by-side comparison of how a real business would look at CES vs. a total, utter scam.
