Truth from a long time friend, enemy, business partner & competitor:
Pretty amazing the amount of damage someone can do with some fake facebook accounts. I have to wonder what the agenda is here and if it has something to do with the Bitcoin Foundations elections...or worse someone trying to hurt Bitcoin as Brock is one of the most outspoken people in the Bitcoin space.
I clicked on Brock's timeline on his real facebook for the supposed above dates and he was in Los Angeles, California and not in Spain. Don't let someone troll you with fake facebook accounts.
Instead of reading all this made up crap and coming up with a bad opinion I suggest you reach out to him and talk to him yourself.
The true facts are pretty simple:
- Brock was associated with Rector when he was a teenager. I don't know any details. I personally think he was a victim. He has never mentioned it and I don't bring it up.
- Think about this one: Brock was my #1 competitor. If I could have used it against him I probably would have if there was something to use.
- Most everything is about money. People sue and make stuff up to try to get you to pay something. Sadly this is how it is.
- If you noticed on the lawsuit on his partners suing Brock for cheating his partners I took no part of because it was mostly lies.
- Brock makes more money for his investors that you know. He might fail in 3 out of 4 of his companies but that fourth one makes so much money for his investors which is why they keep investing in them.
- People get fired from businesses which why you only hear their side of the story and its always negative.
- I can also guarantee you without a doubt is Brock is a lover of women (so much that I fear that it keeps getting him into trouble).
From someone who knows all the facts. There is some agenda being played out here. What a better way to take one of Bitcoin's star advocates and link him to Paedophilia. This is FUD in the worst possible way.
I was wonder how long it'll take before you weighed in on the subject.
I gave these guys a call and they were very helpful and I would have to say Legit. Enough that I bought 100 units from them.
I bought 40 or so from them. Overall a smooth transaction and I received them when they said. They are still working today (though doubtful I am making anything from them). I would personally buy from them again based on my previous experience in June. (I didn't read this whole thread so I don't know if things have changed since then and I am just stating my experience for others).
I was pretty good in math during high school, thus I believe you're missing ~3 score Lancelots.
Also, I may or may not have seen pics contrary to your last bullet point, but even though I haven't been laid in a while, I still know what a woman looks like. I'm just saying. <Please, Jehovay, don't let me find out later that you put dicks on them bitches.>
Thats another one added to the ignore list. If you must know, I was selling $m's before I was 18, I've won multiple national awards for entrepreneurship and consulting and I'd walk straight through you if I thought you were anything but a worthless, jealous troll sitting behind a keyboard.
Care to explain your signature, if you've got so many millions?

Vycid -
I am not even sure I am bullish on Bitcoin let alone Bitcoin hardware =). I would love to see you projections. You can email me at
yantis@yantis.net or just PM me here. More likely than not I am wrong =). I tend to not assume I am right with anything.
I believe that there is a 10% chance that Bitcoin will succeed and a 90% chance it will fail. If it succeeds the gains will be unlike any other investment at values of 10k or even possibly 100k USD per BTC. Then again more than likely you will just lose all your money.
On Avalon: They are behind but soon in the next few months those chips will start hitting and then it takes time to build and all that. I think there is a 60 day to 120 day windows here. Rumor is they only sent 30 chips out instead of 10k to people (update: see post below on this). Today they did send out an update via email though which promising.
On BFL: They are over their head. I don't see them getting all these units out for at least 90 to 120 days if not more.
Bitfury: I think this is a good bet. I preordered batch 1 units but again 60 to 90 days out.
KNCMiner: Up in the air still on these guys.What worries me are the people not on the list. Stuff like the Coinlab secret mine and the the massive growth to networking power in the past 10 days that is unaccounted for and real ASIC (non Bitcoin) players getting into this space.
Today the smart move would simply be investing in Bitcoin and not in Bitcoin hardware and definitely don't invest in pre-orders. You probably don't want to keep a lot of hardware either and if you have a lot consider diversifying 50/50 into BTC/hardware.
For me with hardware its +/- 30% bet in the short term with all the BTC that gets made mining it just gets reinvested into more hardware. I have a lot more confidence in hardware and what it can generate in the next 90 days vs just holding Bitcoin. So the plan is simple get hardware that can get back most of its cost in the next 90 days and make sure you have a pretty good idea what will happen over the next 90 days and all proceeds on the Bitcoin generated to go to buy more hardware for the next 90 day batch.
The bet here is that Bitcoin is going to succeed and at $10,000 or $100,000 a Bitcoin does it matter to much if you paid $70 or $130 for it.
Up in the air about KnC while all the while your partner, Brock Pierce, was secreting embracing them, culminating to a 7,000+ bitcoin mining rig facility at The Node Pole, with a couple more mega-pharms under construction.
And, I'm the one spreading fud.
Madness!
