kind of reminds me of the third law of the good ol' 3 newtons laws for graduation joke.

Here's an adapted version for BFL:
For every action towards production and shipment of the ASICs there is an equal and opposite excuse for the delay.

How does BFL know that the manufacturer/fabricator of the chips won't just mine with them for their own profit?? Anyone thought about that?
Shit if I was the fabricator I would mass produce that shit and ....profit $$$ lol
Because there are lots of types of chip fabs. Many of them only produce "chips" which lack all the external components needed to mine with. They probably order from that type of fab since they are doing assembly in house. Hence them buying pick and place equipment and other assembly equipment so they can just get chip shipments, then assemble them with boards made in house.Shit if I was the fabricator I would mass produce that shit and ....profit $$$ lol
but say a fab buys BFL products and reproduces them for pennies on the dollar and mine bitcoin to fuck?

BFL is allegedly outsourcing the PCBs for their first batch. If they still officially have batches.

Chips being respun to make them better, not because they're dysfunctional...right.
lol, people believed that?

Yeah right after Avalon's second batch.
I'd have cancelled long ago if I had a BFL pre-order. Chips being respun to make them better, not because they're dysfunctional...right.

I am sure, we will find it out soon, if BFL is a SCAM or just a chaotic start up

It's like waiting for tomorrow that never comes.
So much of their delaying reminds me of Bitcoinica, Pirate, and MNW.....just more Bullshit.
