Topic: Those who have died while waiting for BFL to ship (Read 2754 times)
i'm sorry for your loss.
I died 3 weeks ago.. You can have my Sept 12 2012 Preorders...
Louis C.K. talked about that during one of his shows. He estimated that the audience was about 2500 people, so statistically speaking at least one of them would die within 2 months.
You could do a similar calculation with BFL orders, but you might need to use the statistics on accidental deaths, because BFL customers probably don't represent an entire cross-section of the world's population. (Probably won't be many dying from old age, for example!)
If you dump old age, you have to multiply suicide.You could do a similar calculation with BFL orders, but you might need to use the statistics on accidental deaths, because BFL customers probably don't represent an entire cross-section of the world's population.

That's so wrong and funny, sort of.
but you are probably right.

I'm more worried that JohnK might die with my bitcoins in escrow. What if no one knows his password and those bitcoins can never be recovered?
Who gets the product purchased if the funds can never be released?

Worry not. JohnK is immortal.

I'm sure a few miners have passed on while waiting for BFL to ship their order.
I'm curious what would happen to their equipment should this happen?
I'd be willing to foster the poor orphans.
Come here little one. Don't cry.

Just like any law in your city state country locale...If you buy a diamond ring from QVC and you die - it still ships. The lucky householder gets to be the recipient of the BFL hardware. If you can figure out how to possibly determine the users who died, you could conceivably request to re-acquire the hardware at cost?
Some famous people who have died while people were waiting for BFL to deliver:
Edith Bunker from All in the Family (Jean Stapleton)
James Gandolfini (The Sopranos)
Dick Trickle (no lie, that's a real name, he's a nascar driver)
Joyce Brothers (psychologist and comedian)
Jeff Hanneman (founder of SLAYER)
Chris Kelly (of Kriss Kross, gonna make you... jump jump!)
Roger Ebert (Film critic, joined his good buddy Gene Siskel)
and I'm sure many more. It's been a long sad time these BFL non-delivery months.

Edith Bunker definitely had a minirig.
It is likely that atleast a few BFL customers have died while waiting for their shipment. Somebody else can paste the average deaths per 10k people charts and such.

People who passed away carried their wish to run BFL hardware in their earthly incarnation & they are set to re-incarnate in order for their wishes to be fulfilled , Karma is a Bitch !
Well... this thread is depressing
I died a tragic death - got hit by a speeding UPS van pulling into my drive to deliver my order......
Then I woke up and realised it was just a nightmare - I hadn't been daft enough to order one......
Peace out.

Pretty funny topic I had something on me head a few months ago. Going worse for a few days. But ct-scan didn't revealed anything healed with rest. Was a possible chance for a BFL customer dieing lol. What would have happend? I think that device would been throw in the bin since no one knewed were it was for. 
Do we know how many people have ordered?
The annual death rate in the U.S. is about 8 per 1,000.

Funny topic
Lurking in hopes of more drunken rambles
Are you drunk?
