Chairman Byron Micon has unveiled another scam.

1) when will the chips be shipped?

2) how much have you taken in preorders?

answer, or you will anger the annamicon.

1)  Aren't you supposed to at least pretend to be a principal of a legitimate company?  How could anyone have faith in such an arrogant company director that resorts to personal insults almost every post?

2)  You resort to personal attacks like it's your job, because clearly producing working ASIC chips isn't.  (Or even spending time on the task.  Who is working on that ATM?  nothing better to do than fight with a "troll" ?)

3)  your 5-point false-ing, to anyone reading these boards with any intelligence, sounds like the rest of your posts (and IRL confrontations) - childish and transparent.  Deflect much?  Price of your android being $259 @ Amazon (yup, u made me google it!) instead of $100 still deflects from the main points of:

3a)  every search I do for bitcoin comes up with a BFL pre-order ad.   BFL has taken in over $25M by my estimations. (I would love to hear other estimations of total pre-order monies shipped to BFL)  You have shipped nothing.  You started promising shipments in September 2012.  

3b)  Your company did not bring anything worthwhile to show at CES.

3b)  here is an updated drawing if what BFL brought to CES using my Samsung Galaxy Note II [rated super high on CNET:  http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/samsung-galaxy-note-2/4852-6452_7-35426722.html ]



Haha... excellent.  I refute every point of yours with facts and this is your response.  If your claims are true, you could come up with something concrete to back your claims.  Thanks for telling me, yet again, how great your phone is. I quite thoroughly understand that you love your little phone and think it's the neatest thing in the world.  Your estimations are garbage, just like your poker "system".  You brought up the $100 and asked me to respond to it, now you bitch because I do?  Instead you post a bunch of strawman arguments to try and distract people from realizing you're a complete dolt.  Unfortunately for you, they've already realized it and I suspect it happened a long time ago.  I feel incredibly sorry for your newborn daughter with you a role model.  She will, inevitably, Google you one day and likely find this thread and wonder why her dad was such a pathetic role model.

1)  When do you plan to ship the ASIC devices?

2)  How many pre-orders did you take so far?

3)  How much money collected in pre-orders?  Why would this be a big secret?  

IMO, the boys should start adding it up anonymously.

Hello world!
How about re-labeling this thread "BFL at CES - Scammer or saviour?"

And then moving the 3-4 non-BFL bash/love posts to a new thread about the CES?

Would make MOD work a lot easier...

Mods.

When a thead is so heavily populated with users who have dark orange ignore buttons maybe it's time to lock the thread.

The Android mining application is pretty cool - I can definitely see its usefulness in conjunction with a repurposed older phone or tablet in a dock. 60 GH/s on your bookshelf is convenient and perhaps even a talking point for visitors, haha.

60 GH/s off an repurposed older phone? What exactly do they smoke in Vegas?

Please keep the BFL bashing and BFL supporting replies out of here. It's derailing this thread.

1)  The general hubris you display both IRL and on these forums will be your downfall.

This coming from a failed poker player with a broken "system" who can't even manage to bathe himself properly means very little to anyone.

Truly a clash of titans. So the difference between the failed poker player who can't manage to bathe and you would be that you manage to bathe? Or that you play pretty good poker?

Wow Josh is a fucking douchebag. Bringing Micon's daughter into this with insults?

Josh are you like in kindergarten? Why you mad? Why you cry so hard? ASIC chips being delayed yet again? (watch me call this delay...and be right)

2)  You claim a few time I was "Stomping around" and "cussing" at the Bitpay booth.  Here is a cued video of you cussing at me:  http://youtu.be/UlWrmIqGs3Y?t=2m40s  if you would like more context, rewind a bit:  http://youtu.be/UlWrmIqGs3Y?t=2m19s  

3) I saw Dave recording me while I was recording you.  You say many times I was the one stomping around and cussing go ahead and post your unedited video as I have.  Let's take a look and see who is lying.

As I stated many times already, you did this the day prior and I did not want a repeat performance.  We were not expecting a troll to show your face in real life.  Thanks for trying though, but you should probably work on your reading comprehension.

Quote
4)  My galaxy Note 2 is > than both your $100 Androids that you brought to CES.  Making fun of the device, arguable the hottest Android phone out there, makes you look even more foolish than when you handed me a quarter at CES.

Yes, tell me again how awesome your Galaxy Note 2 is.  I'm sure you're very proud of the fact that you could buy a phone.

Quote
5)  The cold, hard truth stares you in the face, and you will never reply publicly to the fact-based account of the equipment you brought to CES:

3x plastic cases
1 Box of fans
1 FPGA miner, working condition unknown
2x ~$100 Androids

obviously you wont' be responding to #5.

In order:

False (We had/have no plastic cases. I honestly don't even know what the hell you're babbling about with regards to this.)
False (There's more in the "box of fans" than just fans, obviously.  Nor have we ever tried to deny the fact that we don't have our chips available for public consumption yet.  I don't know if this is a news flash for you or not, but pretty much everyone knows we are waiting on our chips.  It's not a secret.)
False (Just because it's unknown to you doesn't make it unknown, it just makes you ignorant. If you could have remained civil, you could have poked and prodded it at like a few hundred other individuals did this week.)
False (Please look up the price on the N7.)
and
False (The fact that you're reading this is evidence.)

So out of your five claims, every single one is provably false. I hope you can bring something else to the table.  Please, for the love of god, let it be a shower.

In addition to the rocks, every other booth was practically E-cigarettes or Wireless Speakers.  Seriously... how many of these things does the planet need?  If CES is any judge, the only people without these two necessities of life will be the dead (although I suspect there is a movement to include wireless speakers in coffins with an iPod dock on the headstone so can rock out with your dearly departed) and those born without mouths. 
Don't forget the lawn-mounted pv panel for powering it 24/7!

I stopped by the booth Wednesday afternoon and took some pictures after speaking with the Bitpay guys and Josh from BFL. Josh and I talked briefly about the technology behind the ASIC mining units and showed them to me. While I like many would have liked to see a working unit, I was impressed with the brushed aluminum case and impressive heatsink. It's regular to see non-working prototypes or samples on the floor. Josh stressed the importance of getting it right and delivering a product that meets the much discussed expectations. The Android mining application is pretty cool - I can definitely see its usefulness in conjunction with a repurposed older phone or tablet in a dock. 60 GH/s on your bookshelf is convenient and perhaps even a talking point for visitors, haha.

Here are some pictures I took. I had a video crew with me, but this wasn't really relevant to our site's market so we didn't film here.

I would have liked to spend more time there talking with the Bitpay guys and other folks, but my time was unfortunately limited! It's good to see Bitcoin represented.

Edit: I should also note that I came to Vegas with several hundred USD in BTC and sold out twice over via LocalBitcoins. AFAICT, all of the transactions were to new(er) buyers.

Thx for the measured post.

I'll tell you what, Bitcoin should be the star of CES2013. If not, then CES2014 for sure, with no less than a half dozen booths on display, sans any vapor-weights by some Asian benefactors.

Crypto is the separation of Power and State.
I would like to thank the bitcoin community for this exciting drama surrounding ASICS I truely believe someone should make a book about this.

Shit was getting boring but the 2013 season of All My Bitcoins is dropping massive, fresh drama.

FUCK YOU!

No thanks. But I am sure Josh from BFL will accommodate your intimate request.  Cheesy

If you quote, quote it right.

So Josh from BFL will accommodate my wish to erase 90% of humanity from this planet?

FUCK YOU!

Josh, stop it. I don't mind swear words, but typing them in 88pt font is just too much.

(mod note: Yes, 55 and 88px is too much.)

What?  What the hell are you talking about?  I rarely use swear words and I definitely do not use font size changes.  I can count the number of times I have used font sized changes (at least to make things larger) on one finger.  Using large fonts just screams "Hi, I'm in Junior High School" ... much like owning a Mustang screams "Hi, I'm in High School."  Same principle.  Anyway, I have no idea what you're talking about, so I can't stop what I'm not doing... or I've always been stopped and I have honored your request before you even made it, take your pick.
