Funny how we get this Jr. Member troll that quotes Josh. Is this Josh? You think this is a game but in reality it is not. Think ahead.
There is no "think" with those who ordered any of ASIC products. It is simple - could I make serious money? If yes, invest, all else secondary.
Reality is not a game? How come, when most people play it like it is "Age of Empires", currently at "soon to be over" stage? You can think an
eon ahead, but it won't bring any good if you are narrow-minded. You'll end exactly the way each and all "Age of Empires" games end, sooner
or later.
Here is the post you were maybe looking for."The process to bring a brand new ASIC to life is not as simple as turning it on. The fact that some people BFL thinks it is, is an indicator that they have never actually done so. There is a lot of testing, poking, prodding and debugging that needs to happen to get a chip up and running and if someone BFL tells you differently, they are incorrect, plain and simple."
They
are just some cowboys that managed to get the funding done (venture capital, pre order money), outsourced everything and naively took the best case scenarios from their subcontractors for their estimates.
Fixed. If they, company who delivered FPGAs before, are cowboys, who are you? Have you achieved anything worth showing-off to others?
ASIC? FPGA? Some other Bitcoin-related hardware? Or a software maybe? Commits to Bitcoin git hub? Miner or wallet software? Or at least a
blog? None of those. All you and people like you are doing is forum crawling, posting valueless crap around. If I'm mod, you and people like you
would be banned since there is nothing valuable you have to add to Bitcoin.
You run something called "bitcoin megastore" that uses cafepress and doesnt even accept bitcoin.
