Centove, you do realize that your thinking is all screwed, right?
You do understand the issue of non-FCC certification (or any other kind of certifications) are there for more than one reason, right?
-------------------
Lets assume you don't actually know.
Shipping to international countries requires some of these certifications. Without it, it gets sent back to it's origin or held for a VERY long time. Basic point you'd understand right? Okay. Good.
What do you think happens if someone does actually report BFL to the FCC (and no, it won't be me)? Yeah, they get fined, their shipment may also stop going out, and in the most extreme cases the fines may crush their business. Relevant [to you] right?
I could go on, but you need to realize it is not all about me. Who gives what I think. It is just plain common sense. Ignoring the certifications brings alot of different problems to the table. I am not one of them.
Edit: BFL risks opening themselves up to a can of worms if one (or many) vengeful customer(s) get angry. You know there are plenty of those all over the place.
Here let me make it easy for you.... IF you think there is a problem with it and you have a complaint:
http://www.fcc.gov/complaints I have already told you it wouldn't be me. Learn to actually read!
File your complaint about the interference you are experiencing..
Same as above, Read.
Now as far as international shipping.. Umm... The FCC only has jurisdiction in the US, other countries have other certifications,
Uh yeah, that IS why I mentioned it. Reading comprehension is good!
this thread was whining and moaning about the FCC and UL labels. All I was trying to point out is if you have a problem with _that_ aspect then complain to the proper place. Bitcointalk.org is not the proper place to bitch about compliance of this or that.
It is the proper place to discuss it. We are in the custom hardware section.
It is hardware related. Your points are right in the bin, as it were....
As to what will happen if someone was to report them? The FCC, in it's own time, would investigate and make a determination (there is a handy flow chart of this on the FCC site) if found in violation a fine would be levied and corrective action would be ordered.
Yep, what is new?
Are the Avalon units certified? Are the FPGA things certified? I don't see you raising a stink over those.
You must be ignorant that I did open a thread on this and this lead to Avalon seeking certification. BFL did nada! (as far as I know)
So again, your points are moot. You must be new here. (I failed to look at your post count)
If BFL goes out of business, oh well, yet another start-up that failed. Am I gonna loose sleep over it? No. You see I don't depend on BFL for my income so I don't give a shit if they go up in flames tomorrow.
If you are buying ASICs to mine BitCoin you should.
Otherwise, what the hell are you doing in this section. Someone take this guy to the lost and found.
So it comes back to this:
You (and the others here) absolutely HATE BFL and anything to do with them, I mean why else would you constantly post in every thread that remotely mentions them? What are you trying to accomplish?
That is your opinion. I don't accept it as valid.
Hate implies things that do not end with a Keyboard or a posting. Hate is pretty damn strong. Learn what the word means.
You (and the others here) feel Josh is a scum sucking liar.
Well, I go by the past, the present, and possibly see a trend.
You tell me, what do you see? Perfection? Honesty? Truthiness?
It's alright, you can tell me. It will only be between you and me.
I get it... I really do I just don't understand what you are trying to accomplish? I can sense this is gonna devolve into personal attacks against me so I'll leave it at this.. Happy BFL/Josh hating.....
You do realize that you are pretty aggressive, but don't expect anything in return.
Alright, lets look at the facts, you don't want this thread around, you don't want to even read the thread about FCC compliance. Yet, you are bugging others who do. You seem to acknowledge that the whole "certification thing" has merit despite this.
So I assume you might be in the wrong place and perhaps with the wrong mindset to deal with this subject.
I hope my response was even handed enough.
