He is right though, why would anyone who has problems come here and bitch and moan instead of going to the proper place?
How many thousands of complaints does one have to read and delete or ignore before people get fed up and report it to the FTC or the AG in Kansas.
Remarkably you want to ignore the plight of 100s who have had to fight tooth and nail to get refunds and still 100s more who are still expecting BFL to refund them according to FTC regulations.
Why do you continually ignore the plight of 100s of people?
Obviously you are being "paid" in some manner to defend BFL as no one can be that obtuse or sociopathic when it comes to the financial pain of hundreds who have every right to expect refunds. At this point it there is little evidence to support that BFL is a reputable supplier of ASIC mining equipment. They refused to provide refunds. Their own website is purposefully using double speak and unclear really on when these next units will ship. Coupled with a ALL SALES ARE FINAL stipulation should warn off everyone from anything BFL. There are plenty of other competitors that will ship, that have shipped and who have rightly and honestly given refunds.
Sad... just sad. You and Inaba are not going to fool anyone here with this diatribe. BFL will get a 28nm out to the market behind at least 3 or 4 other fabricators given their own timeline.
DO NOT BUY BFL PRODUCTS. SIMPLE SOLUTIONS FOR US ALL. Especially when it won't make a dime.
Sorry, but 99.99% of the complaints *I* see boil down to "Wah, wah, wah, my money making machine won't make the money I thought it would, I want a refund". You point to yourself as a paragon of virtue in having refunded your hapless customers when you couldn't deliver, but you were able to get a refund yourself on the chips you only bought and did not have to create from scratch. You had no research or development costs, you just piggybacked on the success of others and so it was easy for you to refund since you bore little of the expense. You obviously disagree, but these are basically special orders being made. Orders were taken and quantities of product were bought to satisfy those orders. Unlike you, they can't call up the chip foundry and ask for a refund on chips they no longer need due to refunds. As had been stated MANY times, refunds were allowed up until they started full production. They even had it mandatory that you had to agree to the terms or by default you'd be refunded.
Sorry dude, but I could care less about people and their greed having buyers remorse. I did my research before buying and I've made several BTC while waiting for my purchase to be filled and have turned those into even more with judicious market management. Looking at the blogs, my Jalapeno should ship soon and at current rates I'll be making ~$4 a day. To me that's a win as I'll be making more with it than I was with my GPU when I placed my order and it'll cost me a LOT less for power usage.
Face it dude, you're just a broken record stuck on the same tune over and over again. Maybe you need to go relax, take a vacation, all this hate must be causing your blood pressure to rise to unhealthy levels.
