LOL I think you missed the part where Cablepair said he went out of town.....
Nope, i'm aware of that. I was referring to his post that attracted inaba to the thread. (he called out *** on their 1W/Gh claim). This slingfest and negativity could have been avoided, and hopefully will stop now.
I don't see an issue with calling out the 1 watt/gh claim. Esp. considering his supporting evidence shows that BFL has in the past grossly overestimated their stats.
BFL numbers are based on calculations not actual devices. I will believe it when I see it given their past history. Tom has address the power issue here before, saying he would give an actual estimate when he has boards in his hand as he doesn't want to give an unreasonable number. He has stated his power draw will be competitive and I believe him given his past transparency and reliability.
This is just Josh trolling plain an simple. I wish BFL would hire more competent people to handle PR as all Josh is doing his making his company look worse and as evidenced from this thread making people question (more so than Tom could ever do) if their purchase with BFL was right.
It has been a difficult challenge for both BFL and Tom/cablepair to conduct business on this forum. BFL has stated that they wish to avoid the Bitcointalk community and for good reason.
Tom/cablepair has been working on getting his companies own website with a forum for some time.
BFL_Josh has been professional on the Offical BFL website.
On bitcointalk he's been less professional I will give you that.
I have put my money on the fact that BFL will deliver their Mini SC units close +/- 10% of posted specs some time in November.
I have also put money that Tom's Offering will be "competitive" when he makes public the information he was reluctant to present and for good reason.
I look forward to purchasing further custom technology from both companies with their future offerings.
Please also realize that both companies have been working to produce their ASIC offering under the watchful eyes of other competitors as well.
And with that said.....
