blah blah blah I am a troll and try my hardest to make my shit company's rep even worse by trolling competitors...
Tom has already stated he will provide an estimate when he gets the boards. Since he wants to give a realistic number not a far-fetched (1 watt/gh) or broad (2-10 watt/gh) estimate. Yet here you are, bitching about transparency when you represent the company that is the LEAST transparent of all.
Why are you so concerned about this Josh? Why do you feel the need to trying to force your competitor into giving numbers that aren't based on reality? Have you received a hint at what the actual performance of your (BFL) devices are and feel threatened? Unlike BFL, Tom seems to prefer to give realistic specs that are reliable (see MMQ vs BFL single past history) and can be trusted.
Far fetched? Really? I think not, we are actually being conservative in our power announcements in case there is any unexpected difficulties. Can you tell me how you arrived at your flawed conclusions? Why are we talking about BFL again, though? Lets talk about bASIC since it's a bASIC thread.
The only reason I am here is because Tom is lying about BFLs power. I am responding to his lies, and since he seems to know our power situation better than we do, it must mean he knows HIS power situation and is not sharing it with his customers. I would like to know why that is.
