blah blah blah..

and..

[In tears] "Dad, *sob* my *sob* balloon *sob* popped."
"I'm sorry that happened, sweetie"
"Yeah, well *sob* Emma's balloon isn't *sob* popped, and it's *sob* not fair!"
"What do you think would be fair?"
"We *sniffle* need to pop HER balloon too!"

Cheesy

This is really a bad analogy. I hate it when people aren't good at analogies but think they are.

This isn't like someone getting their order for some retail product, and another person getting a different retail product (lets say two different next gen Apple Ipads), and one of them breaks for 1 customer therefore they purposefully send out an update that damages the other customer's product. That would be a fitting real world application of your example and no, that would make absolutely no sense.

Besides being a person who consistently defends BFL no matter WHAT they do, you also fail to see the whole picture of things and let your trolling cloud your better judgment. (yeah yeah.. we know.. your excuse is that you like to troll trolls, but you don't troll ALL trolls, you just troll the people who troll BFL threads. Your excuse is ridiculous at this point until we see you troll the people who also troll BFL haters.)

The big picture here is that the longer it takes to receive, there are two factors at work. The longer it takes for one customer to make a better profit or ROI AND as more people receive asic devices, the more the difficulty goes up which means they make even less the longer it takes.

Ex. Say for instance, they start up some serious production of Jalapenos. Let's say within 1 month they are able to assemble and ship out 2000 jalapenos from orders. Let's also say for this theoretical example, that it takes them 2 more months to start sending out Little Singles, Singles, and Mini-rigs. That means there are 4000 jalapeno's out in the wild by the time these other devices are even shipped. Let's also say that some of these jalapeno orders were made in January 2013 because they(BFL) are knocking out their queue. That means people who ordered 6 months earlier, for devices that are worth 10 times the price, and 10 times the performance, are watching $2,413,904 a MONTH (current difficulty) being made by these 4000 jalapenos (even averaged 5GH/s to be a conservative hash rate) and they still have not received their device.

Lets get even more granular. I have August orders, but I have a buddy with a July order of 1 single @ 60GH/s. Let's also say someone else has a July order for 4 jalapeno's. Let's say he receives them next week, and my buddy's Single order doesn't get to him until August. That means this jalapeno customer will make about 2500$ by the time a Single shows up on the other customer's doorstep. I would personally feel slighted if I spent more money ~$1300 for a Single vs ~$700 for 4 jalapenos, and made less money. These are people that spent MORE MONEY to fund a company's project. These are people who made MORE of a risk. By the time the Single order comes, the difficulty could easily double. And the reason it doubled? Because 20 TERAHASH has been added to the network due to all of these jalapenos, not including Asic Miner, Avalon chips, and maybe even BFL chips coming to the market.

So seriously? You cannot see that? Anyone who says people shouldn't be disappointed by this arrangement is just trolling for trolling sakes. Both camps have legitimate complaints and people who cannot come to grips with that are living in fantasy land.

If you want to be a "BitcoinTalk Forum Troll Avenger" you have to put in the work and not be selective.

How bout some ordered washing pans and shovels while some ordered orbital planetary deep core mining laser stations and they happened to be able to deliver washing pans and shovels first?.. Tongue
