Hello everyone,i've been following this thread closely,and decided to register and speak my mind without holding anything back.
I don't have much of a reputation here as of yet but much of the truth i'm about to tell doesn't need to be validated by BFL's incompetence dishonesty,and ignorance.
I currently have a BFL Single on preorder since earlier this year.I'm 34years old and have seen a lot of scams since 2001 on the
internet, and personally knew people that ran scams on the internet,but i've never seen it on a level of great magnitude and multitude
as BFL has been pulling off for close to a year now.BFL reminds me of Paypal during the "Paypal Wars" between 2001-2004.
BFL is no different with being unethical and telling lies and bullshitting it customers,because of the lack of real competition.
BFL is a legit on paper,but the staff has a gangster mentality,and you all have seen it first hand here,why i say the entire staff,because birds of a feather flock together.
This assclown we know as Josh,i'm totally convinced that he is a sociopath or border line to being one.
BFL lied about the 60GH/s Single's not being ready to ship,when in fact they were ready since late April.
A person by the name of Frederik Dansk who appears to be from France,
http://paris.en.craigslist.fr/ele/3829355665.htmlreceived multiple Singles.The date of the listing is 5-26-13.Which means it roughly took 2 weeks for it to ship from here in the U.S. to
France (give or take a week to pass customs).BFL is looking out for BFL and it's buddies.Who we see get the first Jalapenos,Single
before paying customers,and driving up the difficulty and converting BTC for USD at a alarming rate,to where now those of us here in the
US waiting on our pre-orders won't even have the option to convert BTC for USD without submitting some paperwork.
I am sure that those who work or tied in with BFL,are profiting on our pre-orders,to the point of when difficulty reach 40 million +
they may then clear the back orders before the backordered ASICs are worthless with little or no resell value.A few Jalapenos here and a few Single/mini rigs there,is just a dog and pony show,to appease Paypal that they actually shipped some orders,(pre-order's paid through Paypal.)
They longer they sit and mine pre-order's,as difficulty goes up,it increases the chance of miners having to purchase more ASIC mining
hardware wheather it be from BFL or a competitor that actually has product in hand,and shipping within 7 business days,which currently
isn't none that rivals BFL amount of GH/s and low wattage.BFL is the new Paypal in the bitcoin community.
And with saying that i have to say fuck Josh,Fuck Jody,with the bullshit and lies.I've read many talking about litigation,
back and forth,suing BFL would be a waste of time.These gangsters have pockets deep enough to have suits thrown out of court,
and enough ASIC's to "gift" lawyers/judges to turn a blind eye.If criminals in Orleans Parish prison can get their hands on guns,drugs
alcohol, or a inmate in a Baltimore prison inpregnate 4 different female guards,they should speak volumes itself about the system we have here in the US.
Many of us made Paypal,what it is today about a decade ago and adopted Bitcoin to get away from the goddamn tyranny of Paypal,and now
BFL is pulling the same shit with ASICS.And people wonder why we American's are stereo typed as being greedy.
BFL has made their money 10x over through mining with the ASICs they are sitting on,refunding pre-orders in USD instead of BTC current market rate and of course paid Pre-order's.
And to assclown's Josh/Jody wanna speak further on this,they may do so through their actions by start shipping pre-orders in mass to paying customers.
One thing these assclowns forgot,is that the customer is always right especially when the SELLER HAS LIED AND FAILED TO DELIVER ON PROMISED PRODUCT.
Anyone placing a pre-order for a mining device is gambling. Those that bet on Avalon early on won big. Those that bet on BFL too late will lose. With others like Metabank and KNCminer it remains to be seen.
The fact that the rising or falling value of bitcoin magnifies or diminishes the importance of the bet to you does not change your chances of winning or losing the bet.
ps-when you ordered from BFL "earlier this year" you knew they had already missed all their original shipping target dates.
