Seriously.. some people need to shut the fack and grow the fack up. All I'm hearing/seeing is this:

People Type A complains how there are no information about BFL or how they're not transparent enough with their business practices.
BFL releases information on 3D CAD designs for upcoming ASIC protoypes. -> People Type A retorts back saying those are just computer generated images and BFL is a SCAM.
BFL releases information on ASIC production machines -> People Type A retorts back how those can be ovens or machines to make other stuff (conspiracy theories).. and BFL is a SCAM
BFL releases information on ACTUAL real-life ASIC prototype boards as of their most recent news. -> People Type A still continues to bitch about it and says BFL is a SCAM

it's mainly because of unclear BFL backgroud (their CEO of CTO or who actually is he) and also because of big differences in promised and real power consumption of their FPGA based miners..

I swear by the time BFL actually SHIPS the products out, people will still continue to find a way to bitch. I'm not saying BFL isn't a scam but neither am I saying it is.. all I'm saying is I'm growing weary everytime I read complaints about BFL this and that. Besides, for those who didn't pre-order their Jallies or Singles.. WHY ARE YOU BITCHING ABOUT SOMETHING YOU NEVER INVESTED IN? I placed a pre-order in the start but decided to pull out.. BFL refunded me promptly. That was my decision based on my own due-diligence. If you didn't place a pre-order, you shouldn't be bitching about anything IMO. Yes, it's just my IMO and my words can't hurt you.

Geez people.. SERIOUSLY! >=/

it's not only about 'pre-order or not to pre-order'..Can you imagine what would happen if one of the ASIC miner vendors was a real crook and stole hundreds of thousands or millions of USD? I think Bitcoin really does not need another mega fuckup in his short history..Only we can do here is: Ask, ask, ask..and get relevant feedback..

BFL seems to be a leader in ASIC based miners development (OK, they were first who announced these toys) and I would personally expect completely different marketing strategy they actually use - especially PR since what BFL_Josh / Inaba is doing here is a pure disaster..
