The only thing Josh demonstrates here is that BFL sees the customer as a piece of shit. A customer has to pay money and shut up. For me the Single SC was my first and my last deal with BFL. Well, at the moment there is no deal - I paid money to BFL to watch Avalon and ASICMINER shipping ASIC miners to their customers.

Some asshats are bashing BFL for months. Josh gave them what they deserved. I never had problems with customer support at BFL. They came back to me within 10 minutes all the time.

What if you pre-ordered a MiniRig? Don't you think they could of been a bit more truthful with their expectations and let someone who ponied up $30k in on the DOA status of it?

If they took a few humble pills there would be much less attacks on them

I guess no one seems to wonder how a company can issue refunds of thousands of dollars of pre-order merchandise and Paypal never balks at it?

See, Yajaira D Guevara, this is why you're so pathetic. You make statements like this. Who says we issue refunds of thousands of dollars? Your warped little mind? We get very little refund requests in the ]grand scheme of things. I know you desperately want it to be true that people are asking for refunds in droves, but it's simply not the case. This is why I know a large majority of the whiny brats that cry about BFL still maintain their pre-orders. Frankly, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if you had a stealth order yourself, just like Frizz, but until there's evidence of that, I'll give you props for being one of the few trolls who actually doesn't have a pre-order.

You just go on advocating fraud there, Yajaira. You are a real stand up guy! Not only a liar, but a thief and fraudster as well, GG!

You see guys this is all a grand scheme lol

"asshats"? Josh, you have another handle on here? You certainly seem to get better customer service than anyone else since most people hear NOTHING when they ask questions. Given the way you speak, I wager you work at BFL

Seriously, Josh
If you would have taken all the time you wasted on these forums and put it to good use, (like I dunno... developing a working product), i'm sure a lot of your customers would already have their units and all those discussions would be pointless.

Please show a little respect like the mature guy you are (..or are you?), especially for the hundreds/thousands of people that trusted your endeavour and invested in your product.

Stop wasting time on the forums and get to work. There is still too much to be done on your part to be here publicly playing with customer emotions.

The way he behave publicly and with the background checks respectable companies do today, he will be won't get a job opportunity ever again.
That leaves him with hanging out with his alleged fraudster friends, Vleisides and Fletcher to name a few, being a low-life criminal for the reminder of his life.

Re: 490,000 Avalon chips already ordered - 150T hashrate spike coming in August

Oh, this gets interesting. I didn't expect this amount of sales in such a short timewindow.

Now it would be a golden time for BFL to start shipping if they don't want cancelled orders flooding in like crazy.

To be more clear, by shipping I mean shipping actual finalized products to paying customers. So far we have seen one dev-unit possibly touched by luke-jr, and now this thread is about the very first sample unit in the hands of non-BFL-affiliated personnel, outside BFL headquarters.

There is still quite some way to go before they can actually start shipping in quantities that could catch up to the preorder queue some day.

EDIT:
I don't know if this "Codinginmysleep" guy did place one of the very first pre-orders nearly a year ago, but shipping usually starts with the orders being filled in the same order they were originally placed. Thus I'm not yet changing my signature about BFL's shipping problems.

Josh is what I always imagined a Blizzard community manager to be if their bosses one day said "today you can post whatever the fuck you want on the forums"

What you might find even more frightening is the the fact that I restrain myself a great deal when posting on Bitcointalk.

Really.....The one about..... nothing that a a bottle of jack,a coat hanger and his pregnant mother wouldnt fix

Yes, Conman and Kano should be getting their units next week as well as Bitminter, among a number of others.

I gotta say, I like it.
So far 2 devices have shipped, and a few more to come.
Are those to ship next going to real customers, or are these jalepenos advertising gimmicks?
I'm not trying to bust anyones stones, but I find myself in a real tight spot.
10 weeks to wait for some Avalon chips... couple more (at least) to have them populate boards...

It would be most cost effective for me to purchase jalepenos... If, indeed, I could obtain them more quickly than the other route.
Shucks, a single and a jalepeno would be perfect, for now.

That red triple-headed power cable looks familiar.

It's a really good idea to add a power adapter cable. But it looks like this cable is made for a specific modular ATX power supply from OCZ (or compatible). The used connector on the cable is not the counterpart connector for normal PCIe cables from standard ATX power supplies.

I hoped they offered a more generic solution.

Yes, a molex or some old fashioned pc connector should be great.

If I were to use foul language on any online media while representing my place of work I would get fired in no time. I dont think it matters if you are working for #1 employer in the country or a small startup in Kansas you have to have integrity and proffesionalism, things that money cant buy.

"This is why I know a large majority of the whiny brats that cry about BFL still maintain their pre-orders."

Quote taken out of context but I felt the need to draw a line Josh. Sure, you're talking on a BTC forum so you do not need to practice any professionalism as you would on BFL's forum. However, you represent yourself and on behalf of BFL as most of us sees it. To frankly put it and on how I see it, you sure do talk a lot of smack. I haven't seen a single post from you on some of the topics regarding BFL that I regularly watch, maybe you thought it would be better to not add more fuel into the fire or maybe there wasn't anything you could reply back in a "smart-ass" tone. And now, the way I see it, you're getting on your victory dance because BFL has proven something against all odds and accusations, well.. congrats to you then, maybe you deserve it, maybe not... I don't know nor care. But that's not the point, you are you and what you say will affect your image and the company you work/represent for.

I seriously don't understand why you have the need to flame back.

Ive seen few post and wondered how a comunity manager at self respected corporation would allow himself to post in such a non proffesional manner. Its one thing to troll anonimously, but writing prophanity while using real name and posting on behalf of an enterprise doesnt speak highly about the individual and business he represents.

It's because these forums are not very heavily moderated, people tend to go a bit overboard than they probably normally would. I spend a lot of time on other computer forums, and the mods there would have deleted half the posts in this thread within 10min. and issued some bans. There are libel and defamation issues to consider, the board owners would want to be seen as actively doing the right things. Each to their own.

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

Quote from: Syke on April 21, 2013, 12:38:20 AM

Quote from: nathanrees19 on April 20, 2013, 11:09:10 PM

A lie would be saying "We shipped in October" in November when they haven't shipped in October. If they say "We intend to ship in October" but something happens and they can't, that statement doesn't retroactively become a lie. A statement is true or false at the time that it is made; to knowingly make a false statement is to lie, by definition. Anything else is not a lie.

There are lots of different kinds of lies. Putting forth ship dates that have no chance to be met, is a "misleading" lie. Being in "final stages of development" for 7 months is a "puffery" lie. Promising "1 watt consumed per gigahash" when they haven't even built a prototype is a "fabrication" lie.

Delivery product way out of specs and sticking it to their investors while they're lying face down is a reach-around lie.
