This assclown we know as Josh,i'm totally convinced that he is a sociopath or border line to being one.
Yep, BFL is a lethal danger to Bitcoin. They have too much power now and are totally corrupt liars. Those crooks must be stopped before ruining Bitcoin. It is not a coincidence that Litecoin is attracting more and more attention everyday.
OK, seriously, how is BFL a "lethal danger" to Bitcoin? Assoles, sure, but a "lethal danger", no way. The output of Avalon (particularly the chip buys) and ASICMiner is going to quickly outstrip BFL's output, so even if they stopped shipping their units and attempted to 51% attack, that wouldn't go anywhere.
BFL has taken in more money than Avalon and ASICMiner combined together.
We all know when you have more money in a particular market,you have more control
and influence.I remember back in the 90's Microsoft won the battle with Netscape by giving kickbacks
to vendors who adopted Internet Explorer.
Point being, BFL currently rules with an iron fist in the BTC mining industry.
ASICMiner currently has a low GH/s per dollar ratio,compared to BFL's ASIC's
Avalon's ASIC's has a high power consumption,and low per GH/s per dollar compared some BFL's ASIC's.
This is one reason why BFL focused on low power consumption,and high GH/s,because it appears
to be something not quite easy for ASIC vendors to currently do.That gives BFL an edge over all the current competition.
Err... Yeah, but unlike Avalon and ASICMiner, BFL have been late to the party. Unlike the browser wars where Microsoft used their clout with software licensing of Windows to force IE on everyone (or risk not being allowed to sell/distribute Windows, which would basically kill any builder company), this industry is very different. Money goes to those who get product in the wild first, those who join late literally miss out, due to the difficulty rise. BFL's only saving grace longer term at this point is that their chips are more efficient, so will continue to be profitable for longer than Avalon and equivalent chips.
I'd strongly recommend you take a few steps back, relax a little and consider things more objectively and less crazily. Next thing we know you'll be bringing out references to Freemasons, CIA conspiracies and if we're really lucky, rainbows in water sprinklers like that crazy girl on youtube who reckons the US Govt is brainwashing people with stuff in the water.
I beg to differ,BFL has came out ahead by taking in more money than AsicMiner and Avalon and not delivering even half of the hardware
currently on pre-order damn near a year later,and still accepting money for pre-orders.
It doesn't take an Actuary to figure out who's gaining and who's losing.
And you're telling me that Bill Gates wasn't abusive with power to where the Department filed charges against
Microsoft?
Google: "United States v. Microsoft Corporation"
And you recommend that i relax and take a step back?
I recommend you grow some testicles and step up and see things for what they really are.
The NSA been spying on people since Bush signed the Patriot Act,but it was nay sayers
like you that suffered from Cognitive Dissonance.And now Edward Snowden confirmed it.
I guess it's a theory that BFL has all their customer's best interest in mind
and that we should be more patient,and be grateful that BFL has never lied and
has always been open and honest with all of it's customers.And BFL isn't and never will
scam all of it's customers,and put it's customers first because they are really nice fun loving people?
