Hey, I'm hearing so many conflicting stories on what companies can be trusted to produce an ASIC machine and deliver on the sale. I've heard that some have yet to actually produce anything. I realize that developing custom hardware isn't exactly an overnight thing or cheap, so I know that companies can take a bit longer on their first product while they're laying the groundwork for future ones. I also know that when dealing in BitCoin you need to be careful and I'd imagine that some mining hardware companies might also be shady.
WoT (Web of Trust) is the only real way you can tell who's who in the BitCoin world limit your chances of being scammed. So, I figure if you've purchased ASIC hardware from a company and received your purchase, we can safely say that the company will most likely come through on future orders. (I did hear that BFL sold GFX chip based hardware and then created fake ASIC machines that never shipped and offered to trade in the old GFX card ones, but they instead kept the returned units and never gave the customers anything. I can't verify the validity of this statement, so for all intents and purposes, it should be considered just a rumor. Personally after hearing that and that BFL is run by an ex-con known for scamming people, I won't be buying from them. However, someone who might have a vendetta against BFL might be saying these things as well in order to hurt them. This is why the WoT must exist so that many people can give their opinions on a company and people can make an informed decision.)
