Called it.
Thanks for finally giving us the reason behind the delay Josh.
100,000 chips is 7.5*100,000 = 750TH/s. Unless there's a significant price increase (let's all hope), then that takes just about all incentive out of buying ASICs once those chips are eaten up. Payback would be around a year at that point... fairly risky in the world of Bitcoin.
You guys do this exact same dance with every single scammer, and you never see it coming somehow.
Here's a hint, they all give you these bullshit excuses. Over and over again, and you all throw your money at them and thank them, then act completely stunned when they bolt with it.
Here's a test of BFL's legitimacy. That ASIC you're blowing money on, have you even seen a prototype? Any evidence that it would even work if it did ship? Any evidence that the design behind it is sound? Anything at all?
BFL's legitimacy is dead simple to assert: they managed to be
greatly successful and profitable inventing, making, and selling thousands of FPGA Singles. I have many of them in my very own hands.
And if you have a profitable business, the natural human reaction, even for greedy people (the type who may want to defraud), is to simply expand the business, not to do something riskier by defrauding your customers.
