Can I use a bitcoin ASIC to mine for palladium?

Nope. However if you ask nicely the local muffler shop MAY let you go through their scrap looking for catalytic converters. Tongue

I'd be trolling 24/7 if I had to put up with the constant onslaught they have to deal with.

Seems inaba feels similarly. As a small business owner and employee I've been personally and professionally attacked many times and haven't resorted to mud slinging, name calling, or trolling. It solves nothing and simply exacerbates the problem. I've also never knowingly represented a company with an officer that's a convicted fraudster either. Roll Eyes

I think anyone posting anything ASIC related should be banned until one is released.

I trust you're not serious. Huh

Unless I logged onto the wrong website, this IS a discussion forum. There are many many scammers here abouts AND BFL does have a whole lot of other people's funds, combined with a track record that's ummm...rather suspect to say the least.

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

Quote from: creativex on October 15, 2012, 08:35:49 PM

Clearly BFL_Josh/inaba cares very little about most people's opinion of the company he represents. He's over trolling BTCFPGA's thread just now. Cool

A sustainable business model is about building and maintaining long term relationships, not quick cash grabs produced by vaporware products months prior to (re)scheduled release.

Bottom line is they have a slew of customers on hand now because they were first to open their pre-order window(way way too early for my liking, but just MO). If they deliver a quality product on time then most will overlook the thoroughly unprofessional nature of their reps. If however it comes down to a choice between multiple competing companies with similar product lines then the poor public image they seem to embrace could well become the deciding factor for many. I imagine there will be some unhappy BFL customers if they paid for a product months ago with the understanding that it'd be shipped in October and someone else beats them to the punch. Yet given their history of delays that's a very real possibility.

All I truly know is that I have $100 at stake here. I put money where my mouth is. I told Josh that I would donate a $100 to a charity of his choice when BFL delivers the pre-orders. Josh was kind enough to offer up EFF, but I did read in a post by him that he may now have reservations about that choice. He's free to change his choice at any time.

BFL has the least effective & least professional business image I've encountered in quite some time. They're their own worst enemy.

Pretty sure they don't care at all about your opinion of their business image, cuz they're makin mad cash.

I think it's a follow the leader mentality. People who don't know anything about BFL will follow the next person with any information regarding BFL. Unfortunately, most of the time, the information we get is "BFL sucks at this or that" and that's what people go by. I don't know how this started.. well.. I do know actually, but in the bigger picture, I really don't know what lead to there poor business image. When it comes down to it, if you don't want to deal with BFL, don't order their shiz. They're not holding a gun up to you and demanding you to tell them to take your money.

Step 1: Troll BFL, either directly through their customer support, or indirectly through the forums.
Step 2: Call BFL a scam when they don't treat you like a valid customer.
Step 3: ? ? ?
Step 4: Profit!
