Topic: Butterfly Labs November Update (ASIC Chips are "flawed". Delays.) - page 8. (Read 24693 times)

I'll quote this for the people that ignore you and boobies

Here's the actual list:

1. The CEO is a convicted felon who
1.a. Is in probation/supervised release.
1.b. Is prohibited by the terms of his deal from doing a number of things BFL is doing, such as taking money from people.
1.c. Failed to disclose this; once discovered by 3rd parties he made a half-assed statement about "the mean government". Promised post with further details "over the weekend", never materialized.

This was explained away on the vague theory that while convicted "he wasn't really guilty" and while the CEO "he doesn't really have anything to do with the company".

2. BFL is a company that
2.a. Consistently made promises which were then not kept, such as to the time of delivery (blown in the past by 4 months +) and specifications of the items delivered (significantly larger power consumption).
2.b. Consistently takes money from perspective customers in exchange for products that do not actually exist. These don't constitute pre-orders, even if BFL calls them that, but loans to the company.

This was never explained other than "doing things is hard".

3. BFL PR is a guy who
3.a. Is a loudmouth just like I am, except he makes a lot less sense, rarely has a point and also lacks tits.

Enjoy.

(And yes, my personal opinion is that dud run = bankruptcy.)

I see more legitimate concerns than conspiracy theories.  BFL has a plan B or C, we keep our fingers crossed, but customers also need to be protected from the potential failure, BFL risking their money. People do not see the progress of BFL, there are more delays and failures. PCB photos are worth nothing, every electronics engineer can do this. So it is what it is.

Dude they get their Bicoin payments through Bitpay, which means they never actually accept a Bitcoin. All is converted to U.S. dollars before it enters their account.

You got it all wrong. JFK was shot by his driver.

Just to save everyone the time and cut down on the post clutter here are all the BFL Conspiracy theories in one post:

J. Edgar Hoover created a hit squad made up entirely of homosexuals "to assassinate JFK." "If, after the 'hit,' the street clothes were changed to "flamboyant/gayish" attire, would those people have been detained/questioned as any "normal/regular" looking individual on the street that day, or would they have been ignored as "homosexuals" that couldn't possibly have committed such a horrendous act?" J. Edgar was frozen and later revived and is now running BFL

The Preorders are all rigged  "Bitcoins go up and up. People with get rich quick fever are willing to wait in a line just like the ones for bread in the former Soviet Union for the pipe dream of striking it rich."

We already have cures for cancer but the government has re-purposed all of the chips used to find it in order to make ASIC gear at BFL

Redheads are the offspring of aliens and have been quietly infiltrating BFL in order to seed mind control hardware disguised as ASIC gear

Sono Bono was murdered [on the ski slope] because he was going to expose BFL shipping delays

There is a concentration camp under the Denver International Airport. It has an 8 level underground military base, a gas chamber... and it's rumored that there is genetic experiments taking place. People who cancel their BFL preorders are sent there

Fox News broadcasts invisible signals that affect your sense of smell. “Fox News Channel --- though it might not be the only one, has inaudile/invisible signals that are being broadcast with the audiovisual that's consciously perceived by the viewers." The ASIC gear are repeaters for this signal and soon everything in the world will smell like raspberry tarts

BFL is spearheading the efforts between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico to become one country.

The number on the back of your social security card is a World Bank account number where BFL is depositing your Preorder money, “there is a form that you can fill out to get that money back from the government, but if you do that you become marked as a “person of interest”

Dentists are putting small microwave-type things in your teeth. “Dentist are putting small microwave type things in your teeth! This is the only way that BFL is able to deliver such high hash rates with their new gear

BFL employees are actually shape shifters. “BFL top brass are actually aliens dressed as humans. I have eye witnessed  Josh blinking very fast then his eyes went completely black then back to normal. Aliens are really walking amongst us now to monitor us”

BFL has fine print saying the company is not responsible for any surveillance done through it gear by the US government.

Not a bad idea really, earrings, necklaces, keychains. Turn a negative into a positive. Though I think they need to deliver a working product before people are in a good enough mood to buy those heh.

They should sell the bare "dud" chips as souvenirs.

So, BFL has a chance to go down in history 

I was wrong, they will wait until 1BTC be worth 1000 $, then a refund will be possible 

Ouch.

I guess it's a good thing that everyone knows 20k BTC is "but a tiny fraction" of what BFL's worth, seeing how that means they'll be able to do refunds.

How to read a press release: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-read-a-press-release-88416

I never get tired of this gem:


 

I love how even in their own press releases they don't use full names for their officers. That's trust inspiring.

No. It was changed from October.


Yes.

FTFY

I hope it's a Chinese relic hunter millionaire.

Didn't they say something about an anonymous venture capitalist backer, pretty sure that was in their initial ASIC project announcements. 

What refund? They spent all (most) money on (unsuccessful?? ) ASIC project. If they fail to produce hardware to January 1st 2013 , you forget about the refund. Only hope that they will succeed. No bank will give them a loan.

I see exactly 1 post   And this after thanks giving weekend and 2000 mails in the mailbox!
What does that say?
