Quoted for future reference at 29 October 2012, six weeks after the original date of this post:
Have you considered that you may be (knowingly or not) be furthering a scam?
Yes, and either the scam is so elaborate that we have shipped product and spent a ridiculous amount of money on the development of ASICs as to be almost unimaginable or we are actually legitimate.
Can you provide any convincing argument to the contrary?
Yes, check back with me in about 6 weeks.
I pause to note that this should be trivially easy if ASICs are anywhere close to being shipped..
They are, however, you seem to be under the impression that the investment in this venture is trivial. It's not. We will not be giving away free strategic information to our competition as to our business plans, technology, etc... As much as you want it (and the competition wants it), it's simply not going to happen given the amounts of money involved in the development of our ASIC products.
If any of the whiny allegations are unfounded, you are hereby cordially encouraged to demonstrate it by directly confronting them.
Again, I will in ~6 weeks. When we ship the ASICs can I expect a public apology from you as well in these forums or are you going to slink off with the rest of the people and try to forget what complete asses you've been?
Use this opportunity to crush the "crying whiners" under the heavy heel of the truth!
Then we can stop shouting, go about our business, and everyone will be happy for it.
Do you seriously believe this? There is literally nothing, nothing I can post short of shipping out free ASIC devices that would satisfy the people of this forum. Not a single thing. If you believe otherwise, you are exceptionally deluded.
As it stands, I think you are lying, or being lied to, or some combination thereof.
Come clean.
Great, come the shipping of the ASICs I expect a public written apology to both myself and BFL.
