I dont see much difference when it comes to pride between BFL and Pirateat40. Same bullshit different day/year.
Yup. That should tell us something. Not something definite, but a decent clue. That is why on a different post I did not except the assertion that Josh was stupid or incompetent. It's just that most people (including his fiercest opponents like you) are totally mis-mapping what 'competence' and 'skill' mean in the context of BFL. Just as was the case with Pirateat40, a brazen 'in-your-face' attitude is/was very effective bait for a certain class of 'customers'. This kind of operation in Bitcoin-land seems to be as easy as shooting fish in a barrel.
If Josh was competent his time estimates would have been much more accurate.
So no, he doesn't have a fucking clue about any part of the process. Or he does and was just lying. Either way it is pathetic.
This. The fact that they strung customers along with "delivering in 2 weeks" when they had no working prototype is just plain wrong--it's tantamount to lying [EDIT: and that's been going on for MONTHS]. It's like they just expected to get wafers and Presto! Finished product! Things just don't work that way in the real world.
