Topic: New Drama from BitcoinASIC - page 13. (Read 21843 times)

Sure their first post is "unprofessional", but they're not asking you to send millions of dollars before there's any proof the hardware exists...

Sorry.... time to call for a SCAMMER tag.

https://www.bitcoinasic.net

"Once the video has been shot we have decided to ship the device to conman who in my opinion develops the best Bitcoin mining software available."

so the "WE" becomes "my"

" We are in. the bASIC is officially DEAD."

on a website that continually mentions "BASIC"

Sadly new people to bitcoin and/or the scene may accidentally pre-order from that piece of shit site.

Anything / Everything bASIC and Tom need to be labeled as scams/scammer..

Speaking of Drunk "ComproTom", a couple classics:

Well, I'm not so sure about this. If bASIC had a viable (albeit poorly run) strategy before and basic chip processes nailed down, I don't see why another company couldn't come in, take over, and clean up the mess left over.

However, the keyboard vomit that is that wall of text isn't indicative of a "professional company" coming in...at least none that I've ever seen. It looks like some kid on Adderall sat down and started trying to type something convincing.

I am curious to see how this plays out, even though they're not getting any business from me.

Kinda looks like Tom or comproTom (aka drunk Tom, the supposedly compromised account that stirred up some drama recently).

I consider Tom & BTCFPGA a SCAM: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/scammer-cablepair-tom-from-btcfpgacombitcoinasicnet-140472

Possibly, but to put up a wall of text on an official website, coupled with having it improperly formatted on the page doesn't look like something some self-professed professional should do if they want to be taken seriously. Atlas, off his medication, could have done better.

I guess many of their high end GPU were bought to mine coins. This day is not far away if BTC price rise enough high, making ASIC devices are much eaiser than graphic cards, they need only a small project setup, and their 32nm process is already mature

fake or not I would feel a lot better ordering a product from a company that can tell you this:


but until then I guess we have to pass the bill in order to see whats in it.. err or wait that's something else.

Not that I believe this is legitimate, but many business managers and technical engineering types actually don't have great spelling/grammar/etc (or don't care).  Some of the emails I received from those sorts were worse than this even was.  Just something to think about...

Well it's nice they decided to use me as their primary software developer if something ever goes ahead... but given conman is my IRC nickname and it holds certain "connotations", it would probably have been better to use my real name 

Like, 0.1% of their GPU sales are for mining. The market isn't big enough for AMD ASIC yet.

I just wonder when will AMD join the game...  Their stock performance is miserable, this might be the chance to turn the tide for the company, they could easily produce the most advanced ASIC devices using their 40nm process and very mature cooling solution, then we will back to the old gpu mining era 

FYI, I started penning my post above when there were only three replies to this thread, hence reiterating the grammatical aspect already brought to light.

800+ pre-sold my ass! I bet you not one of them has the balls enough to declare that they pre-ordered from the new bASIC if one did exist.

Cablepair in 5... 4... 3...

CP: My website was hacked and I can't get into it. Don't believe a word ever written on it.


Is he dissing the company he just took over?

"Before BFL" is used figuratively. It means, "before the heat death of the universe".

Wall of text with no line breaks. Poor html hack together. Spelling errors. Grammar errors. Bashing the competition. Totally vague about who they really are. Claiming Tom is permanently out. Claiming they can throw together a FPGA hardcopy with Tom's 4x4=16 chip board (adapted to a 5x5=25 chip board, I'm assuming?), and be shipping "Before BFL", which I take to mean March '13. 30 days. Really?

My favorite part:

Either Tom got drunk again, and started posting shit, or bASIC is screwed worse than they were before.

hint one: Tom/Dave must be the same person or it would have read: Tom and Dave are no longer...


great so far. holding off till they actually have a product. that way they can plan batch allotments and know how many pre-orders through before closing that batch.


although i agree with the statement from a professional business point of view. making public statements based on opinion is grey area libal.. becareful.. dont getting a "slagging match" reducing your professionalism. try critisism with a flare of elegance and subtle meaning.  
300 if you include the next few days, they should arrive before the weekend from all announcements and whispers


now this is the point i start to think, hang on. you have slated another company.. and have many grammar inaccuracies..
the professionalism is starting to evaporate.
i myself dont write for my business the same way i would as i would on forums, so my bad grammar is acceptable to me here, but not on a business announcement.

company name? details?


wow u invented a ASIC and in under a week you will start taking pre-orders. WOW amazing.. pfft


so throwing existent FPGA chips into a big box all wired together. basically.. just a shame your decades of knowledge and equipment you should already have and not need to purchase due to your military ASIC projects can't produce a chip on the cheap. but at least you have half explained yourself out of how you will suddenly be able to start begging for cash in a few weeks

cough FPGA cough


now im thinking you have no idea the difference between an ASIC and a FPGA but 25 chips at 2Ghash thats atleast something worth noting.. 50Ghash product


so from seeing Toms 'secret recipe' to already having a prototype.. that is quick


could have started your professionalism with a better pre-drafted out announcement.


too many holes.. im going to hold out till batch 2 and even worse spelling, grammar and paragraph layout then me.. and that's saying something

The best is at the bottom:

Pre-order today 800+ already have.

There should be a button beside that which say: Refund your order today!  800+ already have.

I should forward you some email from my last general manager.  This was positively lucid in comparison.

Recovering from and dealing with a site compromise!
