So BFL has the time & money to send employees to London to show off working prototypes but can't take some cell phone photos and post them for everyone? Maybe a video of it hashing?
What kind of crap is this?
What kind of crap is this?
This is the phenomenon of a captured market. In a captured market the vendor can be non receptive or lacking proper communication with the customer.
If competitive market pressure existed in a substantial way, BFL would have to compete not only on technology, but on customer relationships.
The presence of BFL at the Bitcoin 2012 conference is primarily to gain more exposure and mingle with the Bitcoin elite.
And therein lies the rub, for BFL does have to compete with others, so why auction off the technology that could easily be reverse-engineered prior to shipping their first device? Could the answer be like I guess you guys don't need these anymore, but look at what we got down the pike. Here's a classic comedy skit with Pete Barbutti on Johnny Carson depicting what I'm speaking of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzkixTbOchE
So we can establish that no live demonstration of an ASIC device at the conference then? That Josh dude looks alright but if it is a scam, he might not be privy to it.
The last sentence is strong possibility, for even J. Orlin Grabbe had alpaca wool pulled over his eyes while the confidence men marketed Laissez Faire City.
