Topic: Received BFL Jalapeño Today! - page 12. (Read 40280 times)

Sweet! Sucks that it'll take forever for the rest of the orders to be sent.

Both I and James got our cups.  Know who I am?

Maybe that BFL_Josh guy can give you some pointers.

To the OP, Did you get a bfl coffee mug too? Lol

You know all I asked for was a simple apology and even that was too much to ask for.  Were you previous apologies like "I'm sorry.  I'm sorry you're too stupid to know how to stupid to use our website."

I don't know what to say if you see me as a troll. I was a BFL customer long before you became PR guy, and I don't blame you for anything that happened prior to your arrival.  But you failed to answer my simple question.  Would you, if you were a regular customer of BFL, be quite upset at the way in which the communication with the timeline for rollout was handled?

I'm not even blaming you for what you say.  You're just the PR guy.  If the company you speak for is messed up, you just have to find the best possible way to put out their press releases.  But wouldn't you be upset if you were a customer?  If you can show me one post of yours showcasing a sincere apology I will drop my complaints and even cheer-lead for you (and please don't mock me by saying you don't need my pathetic cheer-leading).  

As far as the profanities, I have seen you (as Inaba) type some pretty offensive stuff, specifically involving male genitalia.  Yes there were equally offensive comments made about your wife and that kind of stuff is really uncalled for on these forums.  There's free speech and then there's lesser primate level of intelligence.  Anybody making comments about somebody's family that has no bearing on your company is uncalled for. However, there's no reason for you to stoop to their level.  It's not a playground and we don't need yo mama jokes.

Rage and butthurt?  Yeah, I drink tea with camomile and have some nice candles - I don't have rage or butthurt.  Your vocabulary does not threaten me.  Your use of improper words (poor diction) as if you looked them up in a thesaurus does.  

Wow. Just wow. I think I see what's going on here. Surely he couldn't have missed the awesome grassroot efforts to turn bulk Avalon chips into DIY miners in this very forum right? I think he might be so traumatized by being outperformed by Bitsyncom that he's blocking them out of his memory. He will probably need counselling before he can even speak the name Yifu. It's all starting to make sense...

No, my mistake was thinking BFL was still relevant to mining hardware.

490,000 reasons why they are not can be found in this thread:

I'm very surprised that you don't have the time to post an update to all of your customers but you somehow find the time to type out all of these responses that have ZERO content and add ZERO value to the discussion. Maybe after a good nights sleep you'll be able to actually explain why I don't understand the basics of what I'm posting. I'll be waiting...

Whoa... I see where the communication breakdown is.  You think Bitcointalk is still relevant to mining hardware.  Heh.  How... quaint.  I see where you get your nick, now.  

Sorry but that's not going to happen when you have the BFL frontman himself trolling the topic despite the fact that he's been too busy to post an update that he said would "come in the next day or two, hopefully" two weeks ago . I've stayed out of the BFL lynch mob so far but couldn't help but join in when I saw his attitude here.

At the time people placed their pre-orders, the deal was to have an ASIC miner delivered by Jan 1st. Every month of delay lowers that worth from the original valuation. That devaluation is based on BTC and has nothing to do with the exchange rate or any factors external to BFL. Originally I sided with BFL since they offered full refunds so I felt people willingly chose to stay on board and shouldn't complain. Then when I really dug through Josh's post history, it does seem very likely that he posted fraudulent ship dates to string people along. Why would you cancel your order in Feb if they were just about to ship in March? He's held that carrot right out in front leading everybody the entire way one little lie at a time. Look at the last two updates. First he says "We plan on shipping possibly by the end of next week" then two weeks later mentions "We've been working on getting the software and firmware nailed down". This has my bullshit meter pegged. It's starting to become clear the Josh has never had any idea when they might ship and just keeps staying "almost there". I think the reason Josh can't find time to post that update that's two weeks over due is because saying nothing is easier than telling another lie that the "trolls" will hold him accountable for...

I think everyone who has ever come into contact with you realizes that you have no talent at all in public relations. You don't need to belabor that point.
You claim to be the chief operations officer, yet have very little that operates to show for it.
Right now, you are the face (some might say ass) of BFL on these boards. If you actually want to protect and grow your business, then you should hire an real PR person. If you have no business to protect, well then I guess you might as well just rage on. 

You would think INABA would not have enough time to troll the forums with his presence with all the backed up preorders up the ass they have right??

No more important than getting customer's their devices is defending BFL's image which they themselves tarnished by lies and deceit.

Every time I see Inaba fighting someone here, I feel that there might be some trouble at BFL    Is there some problem with the new PCB board production? Or not enough electronic components in stock ready for purchase?

Good thing I'm not a PR man then, huh?  Oh... one more thing you don't know.  That brings the list to... lets see... crap, basically everything.

I fixed up one of Inaba's rage posts:


to more accurately reflect what a real PR person would have written, instead of what a very insecure man with poor social skills might write.

So once again, you boil it down to what every other troll really trolls with.  You basically have nothing else.  "BFL is late."  

Yep, BFL is late.  I've apologized for it numerous times, and again, like Charlie, I am not your personal secretary.  If you're so lazy or incompetent that you can't be bothered to find the myriad of threads where I've apologized for it, that's just too bad, you'll have to suck it up and drive on, little soldier.  

I have hurt no one.  If you've been hurt by bitcoin, in whatever fashion, you seriously need to re-examine your life and reassess your priorities.  Putting yourself in a position where you can be hurt by an experimental currency and bleeding edge technology is not just stupid, it's completely irresponsible and you shouldn't be allowed near a computer, much less money.  On top of that, the timeline for the ASICs was set and announced long, long before I came on board.  As I've said, again in countless places, going forward if I have any say in the situation, BFL will not be announcing timelines beyond "When it's ready."  



I love this, when a troll trots out this old saw.  I rarely put profanity in my posts (It happens on occasion, but not often), but you're so blinded by your rage and butthurt that you envision profanity where there is none.  Does my vocabulary threaten you somehow?  Do you fail to understand the big words I use so you translate them into imaginary profanity, is that how that works?  I've always been curious as to where the source of this particular trope originates, perhaps you can enlighten me.

It takes a special kind of troll who registered 14 days ago to vehemently defend a company that repeatedly strung along customers.  In your boxing analogy it would be like a friend who kept telling you over and over that the "loser" was a sure bet and would KO the other guy any moment now.  So you want to blame the customers for listening to BFL - is that how it goes? Gotcha.

Could you double check that order number???

order numbers before 1655 where fpga orders. as far as i know, the first asic order placed was approx 1655

The number of bitcoins lost by betting on BFL is irrelevant? I hope you have fun explaining that to the people who actually lost those coins. You have a bright future as a punching bag.
Nobody is using hindsight for what you suggest. We are enumerating the damages caused by BFL's bait and switch.

Speaking of the same old cast of characters, you are actually one of about 5 accounts who relentlessly defend BFL against all comers.
Inaba of course, and his 2 sockpuppets Erk and MinterJ
Kano, who hates Avalon so much that he hitched his wagon to BFL just for spites sake (You can read Kano's marriage proposal to Josh here after Kano was refused a free Avalon https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1511889)
And you.

Say you laid a bet on a roulette wheel in a Vegas casino and lost all your money. Later you found out that the roulette table was fixed and you had zero chance of winning, would you argue that you deserved to lose because you had to use hindsight to determine that you had been ripped off? No. Only a "special type of stupid" would make such an argument.

Go back to begging, you don't seem quite as pathetic when you are on your knees with tears in your eyes.

How can this be true? BitPay was doing API tests and during their tests ISTR they created order numbers around 1630-1640.
And the first real order numbers for SC's started around 1650-1660: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wait-list-bfl-sc-pre-order-information-monarch-orders-too-89685

So how can you be 1604? Typo?
