Aren't you the same guy who had a thread re-named to highlight something you failed to do? Oh yeah this:

Ah, thanks for that.  The name was familiar but thought I'd forgotten why I'd put him on ignore.  I must have remembered at one level though because I knew I didn't even want to press 'unignore' to find out.  Now I remember - Thanks Smiley

Wow. How did you guess that? You must be very clever?

Well.....he's smart enough to know what "current market price" means
But somehow missed that bitcoin is not a $ derivative?!

... as im only interested in the development, factual data about the development,...

I hope you have noticed that BFL have, at several points in time, represented fiction as fact...
My guess is that you're actually interested in the 'after-the-fact' stuff because the most valuable information that came from BFL in the last 4 months was that they once again managed a delay. And that information always came after they missed a date.
The thing with facts is that they're not supposed to change. BFL manages to inform their customers post-facto about facts not being facts.

I think that you have a lot of cropped up frustration but have absolutely no way of controlling the BFL situation and so want everyone to just shut up and leave britney alone..
Am i right?

None of this is helpful.

Every company I have ever worked for is a bunch of chaotic cowboys.  Heck, every person I have ever met is basically just muddling through.  We are all just making things up as we go.  REAL life is not like the movies.  BFL just happens to give you more of an insiders view than a regular company ever would, so you can see the frays and cracks of the actual process of getting shit done.

Altho i'd agree on the normalcy of these kinds of situations i'm still convinced that BFL should not have communicated concrete dates.
By doing this they effectively lied to their customers as they must have realized that none of the original dates were in any way realistic.

If BFL had ANY kind of real contract with a factory to deliver on a certain date then BFL could (threaten to) sue them for being this late.
They haven't so they didn't.

BFL also deliberately counted the minimum possible time it will take to finish. This is an utter lie because there is no way in the world all things will go perfect, never mind for a new device.
Mind you, some forum posters and i already decided last year that the BFL asics won't be delivered untill around march this year.
So howcome they didn't know that themselfs?
Well , maybe they did and maybe they didn't. But in any case they never made any realistic projection concerning time.

I just hope that BFL customers realize that they should have been hashing the hell out of their asics for some months now and that their to-be-delivered boxes will now have competition from a similar product from the competitors.
In other words, their BFL hardware is worth much less now than 4 months ago...

It's great this forum is no longer dominated by BFL threads, and this one is interesting, thanks OP.

...
Pardon? They've been lying about shipping dates for EIGHT MONTHS...how is that not a con? The evidence of their past endeavors indicates that they're dishonest about shipping dates and power consumption specs. Hey at least they're consistently dishonest though right?

Best wishes to all BFL 'investors'...

Honestly, the naysayers just shut up

Where the hell is the thumbs-up button?
It's only on BFL's forum. You must be pretty accustomed to it?

This really depends on how deep the pockets of the investors happen to be. How much venture capital was obtained over what period of time.
Their only investors are those that have invested in their promises, aka "pre-orders".
That's nothing more than your opinion. Care to prove it?
Not me, they have to prove they have investors!

Honestly, the naysayers just shut up and go troll somewhere else.. its just like watching kids in a play ground arguing over which footballers wife can beat which other wives in a snooker final in an Olympic swimming pool filled with smarties whilst being on a diet.

Seriously get a frickin grip!

Just cos Avalon have shipped first, doesn't mean they are better, and just cos BFL haven'y shipped yet, doesn't mean its a scam.

If you don't like x then just shut up, if you don't like y, then shut up!
You should only be offering insightful and calm information and dialogue, not slinging crap about like pigs in a mud bath.


You lot are supposed to be professional miners, supposed to know what this fledgling industry is about from the technical to the economic side of things, you all act like kids arguing and counter arguing over something that's just only been born!! Geez... once they are both out and the figures have been tallied and facts counted then you can start comparing, that's the adult thing to do.

I read these forums everyday, and everyday i feel more and more its a struggle to sift the wheat from the chaft.

I'm almost ashamed to say i respect some of your opinions and your technical prowess when you start acting like kids in the play ground.

I have an order with BFL, i don't care it might take a while to get it, i feel its the superior product that fits my needs, but i don't involve myself in the arguments one way or another as im only interested in the development, factual data about the development, and valued opinions from you guys on its eventual direction, which is becoming scarce.

Please for the sake of the community, please stop this needless and self destructive bickering.
