Lab Rat visited BFL the other day and posted some details of his visit:

He also posted some pictures - of which 2 appear to show miner tests where the miners are connected to Eclipse mining pool..

Caught red-handed?

Only for people that can't read, the thread is about mining at 50BTC.com not at eclipsemc.com

I never said that. I said they should use test net and you didn't know why. Now you ask another question. You didn't even know who they were.

Bfl and ethical because they cant be accused of delaying orders to mine.

So you have some proof to back your claim of Butterfly Labs delaying orders to mine?

I didn't think so.

Who is "they" and why would a test net be ethical?

Why does BFL bring out all the stupid?

They can't test the chips without testing on main-net? I guess that's why they claimed that they'd never mine on the main-net right?

They won't mine on any pool except eclipse? I guess since they apparently lied about never testing chips on the main-net, they'd never do anything dishonest like hiding the hashing power they're putting on the net or anything.

I'm not saying that this is BFL on 50btc, but at least make sense about it.

To try and suggest BFL isn't mining BTC while "testing" is just stupid. They have to test the product fully in an actual mining environment. Besides the shady practices they have shown, this is perfectly okay and they make some BTC on the side.

That's not what is being claimed, the claim is that a user called BFL on 50BTC.com is Butterfly Labs, and I see no proof of that.

Wrong they solo mine, why would they leave trails at a pool Huh

Spreading hashing power over several pools/usernames/btc-addresses together with some solo-mining would be the best way to conceal a large hashing-operation. (If one wanted to conceal it that is.)

You wouldn't even bother, you would just tick private in the list of top miners in the pool instead of typing BFL.

BFL use eclipsemc.com when live testing.

BFL isn't supposed to do any live-testing, so to say that they "use" Josh's pool when testing is just an assumption on your part.

It's not and assumption at all, it's clearly observable in their product videos and screen shots they have released.

I would certainly hope they have done substantial live testing on all model prototypes at least. I don't want an unproven product.

U are a total idiot ...

There is a thing called the test net

Wake up...SEE the evidence before your eyes. The link I post is to a Update post by Josh ON the BFL Forum. Open the pic, click again and it will enlarge. Now can you SEE that they are mining @ eclipse ON the network and not on the Test net like promised.

No ASSumptions necessary.

Edit: to add, scroll to bottom of page, last post, that pic.
