Yes, taken into consideration the lack of info on your/competitors’ products the benefit of the doubt is a given. No point to post angrily over it.

Okay, Josh, I believe it was you, who had proven that initial (first generation) BFL’s product was real and the whole operation took off because of it. (Please do correct me if i’m wrong) While it does seems ‘unfair’ that after donning staff’s mantle you no longer enjoy the same trust, why can’t you consider doing the same with the current generation using another ‘trusted’ community member/pool operator? Why was not it done properly in London, where you had allegedly had a working prototype? Please do not just go ‘free strategic information’ again, there are plenty of ways around it, and all what such a demo could do (provided at least key info is true and you are not unreasonably late with your product) is not only to confirm your market share but also gain you plenty of new customers.

INABA and BFL both stated that butterfly labs make custom chips...
yet........ its not a custom chip designed by BFL

it's a altera atratix3 EP3SL150F780 FPGA.

so goodluck BFL talking yourselves out of your websites quote for last 11 months:
quote: Butterfly Labs manufactures a line of high speed encryption processors for use in research, telecommunication and security applications.

if you cannot design a custom chip and need to import it at FPGA level. then designing a ASIC chip will be even harder to produce.

would love to see their dust free lab where they make their chips..

<wait for inaba's standard flaming waffles of ASCII characters without counter-proof in reply>

I dont feel like choppin up quotes on a tab.

I meant if they had a jally at the london conf why cannot i seem to find pics, vid, or someone posting they were amazed by it?

Thats a great point about the pics, that would be the prime place to show it right? I was not going one way or the other but I am slowly leaning against them.


Three quick questions, you know, in the interest of transparency and all:

Is Sonny Cris Vleisides the founder of BFL?
What is the contact information of his parole officer?
What is your response to the following:

1. The very specific answer to your question is no. I don't expect you to be satisfied with this answer, but it's what you get.
2. You have got to be joking, right?


There should be better answers then this......

Why would they not give it? Someone could submit a request and get it at any time, its public information.

Those with an ounce of common sense dont rush to give money to companies that could possibly have vaporware.
It is a shame that so many here, being so greedy and lacking in sound judgment, rush to hand over money without thinking it through, demanding proof or reasonable updates. Until many members here get burned multiple times it will not change even though i am finally seeing some change. It only took the pirate fiasco to really start the ball rolling after so many other examples.

Those who ordered will not ask for refunds. Greed has them and they like the risk like a drug user likes the high.
So bfl WILL get to play this as they wish. Like you said, nothing to be done about it when you have so many people willing to hand over 1000s of dollars for the chance to make some peanuts.. Er btc...

Me? I will patiently wait for the dust to settle. I am content with my usd/btc in my pocket and not controlled by others who seem happy to consider their customers guinea pigs in the attempt to make a few bucks.

Bfl will probably deliver, albiet late as usual, for customers but they can do it on other peoples money. Not mine.
Bitcoin and scams are way to dominant around here for my taste.  And no matter the delivery the crap storm that will take place from most of the customers will be hilarious as the jealousy comes out versus those who have early versus those who do not.
Rest assured most early mined btc will be bfl's.

On the contrary. Anyone can call the probation department and provide information/concerns to the PO. The PO will not provide any information, of course, but will listen.

Request information on the whereabouts of the paroled inmate through the United States Department of Justice. The FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) provides access to the records that you will need, as long as the right information is provided and there are no security reasons preventing their release. Write "Freedom of Information Act Request" on the envelope and provide a reason for the information you are seeking and the details of the paroled inmate

If anyone has a stamp lol

Vleisides is on probation, not parole. His supervision was transferred from CA to the Western District of Missouri.

True but 6 weeks from today would put them in NOV.... and thats already past due...
