Furthermore, many probably would have ordered FPGA mining boards from the competition weeks ago if this product hadn't been dangled in front of them like a carrot.
I'm not saying this was all intentional by BFL, but it's what happened whether they meant to or not.
Your motivations have been pretty clear all along. You're having to deal with competition. It's important to point out that you have not been wronged and I have no negative feelings towards you. Our performance targets were posted in good faith and in the end we aren't all that far from those figures now aside from power which isn't the principle figure of importance for most people since it's still a small fraction of GPU power consumption. Bait and switch would be accurate only if there was mal intent. You can accuse us of being power optimistic, but that's as far as it goes.
Previously you were shouting scam. Now it's bait and switch. You're just mad because someone is offering a more competitive product. That's all.
Listen, I'm sorry if your plans were disrupted, but please don't resort to slander.
Haters gonna hate on you BFL. Now all the FPGA designers are screwed by your product, they are fighting back with more BS and bad mouthing your company after they saw they are screwed and that this may be indeed, real after all. If I were you ( FPGA designers ), I would move to Russia because you seem to hate competition. Here in Russia they love monopolies ! Welcome. Free market FTW. I guess after about some time the people who buy BFL products now are screwed too as 28nm products come out in 2012 ?
Anyway,
warranty ?
what is the tech behind your product ?
tell us more about this "10 year experience" thingy ?
Thanks !
