This is interesting. What's the story?


Heh.

You are very confused. He said he was poor. He isn't.
Why are you trying to escalate this in to a massive problem? You should probably just mind your own business instead of trying to increase your post count.

I'm certainly not part of the 99% if you want to know anything about my wealth and my family wealth.

So you are, and you're butthurt about it? Get off your ass and do some work and don't be poor then. Don't bitch to us about it.

Free advice: even though it sucks, working at the sanitation department pays big money, compared to most menial burger-flipping jobs.

But you aren't poor.

Thanks for removing my full name from your post. However, was it really necessary to call me a liar?

You're new to this forum and I did you a favor pointing you to an unwritten rule for respectful dealings. You fixed one mistake and ran to the next. Too bad

Lying about the 'poor me' part.

edit: I think this name thing can end now right? He asked if I could remove his name and I have. I'm not going to say anything else about his job/research etc because he has asked me not to.

OT, what would be the reason for these people not to post their names? Shouldn't they be proud of their work? Who would care if they were forum members?
They happily post their pleb worker pictures and names online to try give the company a face.

I like BFL and their products. I wouldn't buy anything else. From a business sense, what is the reasoning behind this? Are they Anonymous? 

Your google is broken. Either that, or maybe you need to learn how to use it properly.

Also, #2, liar.

I don't even know you. A quick Google served that up in seconds. You made it publicly available via these forums. I was just taking a guess.

You only have to ask, politely as you say.

WTF??? You are linking my real name to someone from BFL management?

Two things:
1) It is generally impolite to post other users full name in this searchable forum. I am not seeking anonymity - in fact I gave related links to my investors (see thread in my sig) so anyone knows who I am. Having my full name directly linked to Bitcoin will only cause people to search for my servers and try to break them. Not that I had huge amounts of BTC to steal from me, but the attempts alone could cause DoS and hinder my mining operation. So please be polite, fix your mistake and remove my full name from your post. Thanks.

2) I would be glad to be BFL's CEO, since that would make me insanely rich. If you had read my thread you knew that I in contrary am a poor hobbyist miner living and operating in central Europe whose operation is threatened by BFL's upcoming ASIC products. Would be interested to know how you made the link, though.

That was my thoughts also - I think I might order some of the singles - My gut tells me the big box might be a little harder to get out the door

They said they would have runs of all 3 lines when they ship. I would expect a delay on the rigs.

Nasser Gh Moeini
Nick = Zefir K******?

Does anyone have a sense (or guess) or has it been stated which of the new units will likely be shipped first e.g. get priority. In other words, will the ASIC singles be made first or will the focus be the big rig or perhaps the Coffee warmer will get the priority...

any ideas

At least they finally updated their website.

We'll have our ASICs October 2012

Let's just see what we can learn by reading...


This is great!  Already we have a claim that can be independently verified.  That is gold for the wise reader.  So, market leader in microprocessor design... {googling....}  Intel, Samsung, ARM, AMD, Texas Instruments...  Well maybe they meant specifically for bitcoin.  Nope, AMD...
Well ok, so they talk out of their ass a bit.  Still there's gotta be something here right?


They have so little confidence in the value of their product, that they pair it with the most useless USB novelty item ever?  Is it April 1st?  


Well the verifiable facts are starting to look thin on the ground here.  Maybe some more will come up later.

It's fascinating that the headline reads ASIC, but nowhere in the text does that term get mentioned.  And neither does the process node these miracle devices will be built on, or the foundry partner that will actually build them.  I wonder if they even have a clue how long it will take to build and debug the silicon.  Then you have to package it, and build a device around it.  Maybe that's why there are no dates here.  I'm sure it won't take long though.  Making semiconductors is easy right?  I probably should build a couple in my garage next weekend.


Hi Dad!  I'm a CTO now! Oh yeah, the truncated last name... It's a hip-hop thing, you wouldn't understand.  I'm not ashamed of you Dad! It's my COMPANY.


Osborne Computer company.  Google it, kids.  A unique way to try to dodge Osborning yourself, but what's in it for the buyers?  Do you get priority just for owning the old junk?  It doesn't say that here.   These things are going to sell like ice cubes in the desert! I wonder what priority a business would give to a trade in versus a full cash buyer?


Not a word about how much funding they got, or from who.  Usually both those details are trumpeted in releases announcing completion of funding.  Maybe they thought explaining how Inaba and Giga raised a pile of bitcoins for them would just confuse people.


No names for this 'group'.  I wonder if the 'group' was behind a screen with one of those voice scramblers they use on 60 minutes when they gave this quote.  

It's funny too how the reported order queues in this forum don't support the claim of exponential sales increases.


And once again we have someone afraid to give his full name.  I'm proud of the business ventures I'm involved in.  Why would Nick here want to conceal his name?

I can think of a few reasons a person would conceal his name.
 - felony convictions
 - SEC violations
 - previous bankruptcies
 - history of civil lawsuits over business practices
 - registered sex offender status

I wonder what Nick and Nasser's reasons are?
