Good point, but I think if people on this forums had the will and balls to do it they would have already done it to BFL
Precisely. If people have not organized and sued BFL yet, since they are still working on singles from July and August 2012, a year late, do you REALLY think anybody is going to shell out the money to get a lawyer on retainer for a chip shipment that's maybe a month late? maybe two?? Get real.
And even if somebody did, by the time they got an initial hearing would be 6 months from now, if you're lucky. What you gonna say to the judge if the chips ship in 1-3 months? You'd look like a FOOL, and then you'd be required to prove that you had REAL damages.
Judge: Explain how the defendant has caused you monetary loss, Mr. Plaintiff.
Plaintiff: Well, your honor, the rise in difficulty has made it harder to mine bitcoin, and the plaintiff has not shipped the chips in a timely manner.
Judge: What is bitcoin and how has the defendant caused you monetary damages?
At that point, you will have about 3 minutes to explain bitcoin, the rise in difficulty, how bitcoin are valuable in real currency, and why a judge with 600+ cases on his docket should award you monetary compensation.
Good luck with that.
You're agreeing with the quote, yet you're one of the spineless people he's talking about. who are too scared to even try to take action.
