No I'm not, they are two separate entities. But you still have a straw-man argument, you are assuming that he will mine with the equipment instead of shipping it but have no proof. This is the definition of FUD as you are literally expressing your own jaded views of past mining companies on this one and calling them facts.
I wasn't stating anything. I just said that it could be done and i wouldn't call it my own jaded view because i just state the facts that i see. They were supposed to ship now and they aren't. Facts are simple and i don't have any interest to spread FUD.
Pirate did that and now he is in jail, do you honestly think anyone would be stupid enough to do that again? Especially when we have all the real information about Ken? Again a straw-man argument backed by no facts and based on your jaded views of past mining companies.
Ok Pirate is in jail (for how many years?) while BFL customers had to wait for 1 year in order to get their miners and they are happy to get 50% back from their investment.
Ok then i have one question: when will the chips be available? Do you know that? All i know is that they were supposed to be available this autumn/winter, but it seems that they got delayed. I'm not up to date with the latest news, but i don't see a specific date for the chips/miners.
They were supposed to be available late november/early december. This has always been the case. It is now nearing the end of december and speculation leads us to believe there will be chips by mid to late january. There isn't much information out there to tell which is why I said speculation. This is the last post from Ken two days ago.
Even if this company is late, they are one of the only companies offering refunds. If you ordered a unit and think you will not receive it, get a refund. Otherwise sit tight because chips are incoming.
Ok so you or anyone else that invested in this don't know anything for sure. Only pure speculation. The chips may or may not be available in late January. By that logic they may also be available in January 2015. Nobody knows! Also the fact that there isn't much information seems really strange for me and they aren't the only company that offer refunds. BFL offered refunds too on Paypal (yes a bit forced, but still they were offering refunds). Also please tell me what proof do you have besides a press release from eASIC? Is there anything else to show the progress that they made or at least a specific date for the chips? Because i never saw a statement from eASIC saying that chips will be available on a specific date.
