Topic: I visited BFL, any questions ? (Read 14888 times)

No no no my blind zealot, you are utterly full of shit.
You are literally screeching insults at people for not blindly trusting you and a company that has numerous questions surrounding it.

Comprehend what "The burden of proof" is and deal with it, Id advise the same to BFL.

Perhaps you are a religious fundamentalist, so I say this to you:
I have no wish for debates based on beliefs, give me substance or STFU.

Seriously Mem... what the fuck are you talking about?  If my credibility is not good enough, then what, exactly, is?  

I was doing the bitcoin thing long before BFL was even an idea.  I created one of the earlier pools from scratch and have run it honestly and openly from day one.  Thousands of people have trusted me with tens of thousands of bitcoins, and somehow you, with 104 posts, have more credibility to make pronouncements about a subject you apparently know little to nothing about?

On the other hand, we have me, who is an established member of the forums, a top pool operator and regular contributor here who has not only spoken to several individuals at BFL by email, phone and in person, but has also worked with BFL to debug early revs of the single, before anyone even believed it exists telling you what I've seen, etc...

Then, on top of that, we have BFL, who has demonstrated a viable product and shipped hundreds of units... all of this someone in your little mind qualifies as "Completely unverified with some rather dodgy history?"  Seriously?  What. The. Fuck.  What more do you want, exactly?  Jesus to tapdance into your room one night, ass rape you, and tell you that BFL is real and shipping a product?  I'm curious... seriously.  What is adequate for you?

You need to go back and reassess not only yourself, but also your definitions of "certainty," "leap of faith," and "completely."  Those words mean things, and the definitions you've assigned to them exist solely in your head and are not shared by the rest of the world.  That makes you the one who's "completely" wrong.

People like you have tried to paint me with the fanboy brush in the past, and it's just as ludicrous now as it was then.  I am no fanboy, I tell you exactly what I see and know from first hand experience.  If I'm unsure of something, I've said so.  If I disagree with something, I've said so.  But the thing is, my experience in both software and hardware development, coupled with the fact that I have owned and run a number of small businesses in the past gives me an apparently unique perspective compared to 99.9% of the people who post here - I know what it's like to start up a business.  I know what it's like to deal with customers, especially when you are short staffed. I also know what it's like to design a product from the ground up.  All the "dodgy" things you bitch about or try to hang your hat on are normal parts of running an unestablished business.  Some of them are errors, some of them are problems, that is true... but these types of things happen to nearly every business that has wild success in the beginning without expecting it.  Hell, these things happen to just about any business in the beginning.  

You know nothing.  Stop typing until you learn at least some basic facts, because it's clear you have none.

I find that feature very helpful:)

Riiiight..  As I've already amply demonstrated, you started out with insults and name calling, I just responded in kind.  But what can you expect, you've already lied multiple times, why not now?   Your credibility is already shot man, give it up.  "I've been polite" hahahaha

Your avatar image is trollgrin.jpg. What do you expect?

OK Angry bastard mod, are we to assume that a thread saying "ask me anything about BFL" is in fact not open to questions but tirades of tantrums and insults like Inaba's is fine ?

I have been fair and polite and simply started with airing questions others also have.

Alright, angry bastard mod here. Mem, shut the fuck up and stop spamming this thread.

says the 2 spamming the thread with insults and 0 contribution to discussion.
Damn kids, when you grow up think back to this time you were unable to discuss a subject with someone who held differing views.

+1

Mem, shut the fuck up and stop spamming this thread.

Good luck to BFL and those that have sunk money into it, I will be investing win the Merrick6 platform for my first 10, the company behind it has a good existing reputation and is being very direct about expected development and shipping times.

My prediction for ~4-5 months into the future:
* all FPGA's will drop price 50% to 33% due to being out performed by the latest GPU's again and due to difficulty adjustment.
* Several FPGA's will simply be pulled from the market or sold at a loss when their ROI times go past 2 years (nearly there already for quite a few).
* China starts thrashing out FPGA's priced to put all western competition out of the market.
* Difficulty goes through the roof due to mass amounts of BFL's online and possibly vladmir and other companies as well.
** All current FPGA investors lose out horribly due a massive difficulty spike - ROI times go past 2 years, for large investors possibly 4 years.

We are cutting down the number of FPGAs in the working array from 6 to 2 to allow more power for the 2 remaining FPGAs. [...]. This board is offered at $1,000 (plus tax if applicable) or equivalent in GBP or Euros.

damn you got me

Inaba, offer something new or keep rephrasing your tired argument.

No photos - no sense, even they confirm that you'd was in their office.

Hey Inaba,He's just trying to increase his post count as fast as he can,he just joined april 4th
