No word of a lie, that's right up my street.

It's like the killer feature for military flight sims is a dynamic campaign. Killer for flight sims is an economic model. Sci-fi flight sim on a Frontier planet, yes please.

It really fucks with an idea I've been batting around for a couple of years, but if someone else has done the hard work, then fine.

jesus in the time since the star citizen kickstarter, butterfly labs went from darling of the bitcoin space with everyone talking about it incessantly, to the "hey guys where's my preorder" phase, to the "ummm we're working on it, its all coming soon, all your dreams (preorders) will be filled we just have to get some pipelines cleaned out" phase, to the "holy poo poo the FTC is here" phase and lemme see how they responded to that

quote:

Butterfly Labs is disappointed in the heavy-handed actions of the Federal Trade Commission. In a rush to judgment, the FTC has acted as judge, jury and executioner, contrary to our intended system of governmental checks and balances. The FTC's current actions are negatively impacting our thousands of customers and our dozens of employees. Their current media campaign should only further alarm a knowing citizenry and raise questions as to why the FTC wouldn't simply let this case play out through the judicial system. That is what Butterfly Labs intends to do.

It appears the FTC has decided to go to war on bitcoin overall, and is starting with Butterfly Labs. Butterfly Labs is being portrayed by the FTC as a bogus and fake company. To the contrary, Butterfly Labs is very real. As pointed out in court filings Butterfly Labs made last night, Butterfly Labs has shipped more than $33 million in products to customers and voluntarily granted refunds approximating $17 million to customers for cancelled orders. Butterfly Labs was literally is in the midst of shipping out completed products to fulfill the remaining millions of dollars of orders on our books and issuing requested refunds, when the FTC effectively closed the doors of Butterfly Labs without any chance to be heard in court.

At this time, Butterfly Labs is cooperating fully with the Temporary Receiver appointed by the Court. A hearing is set for September 29 and Butterfly Labs has asked the Court to allow it to present testimony from key witnesses for the company. Butterfly Labs intends to defend our business and our nascent and promising industry. The government wants to shut Butterfly Labs down, and we are not going away without a fight to vindicate bitcoin, our company, and our employees. Our continued focus is our customers and finding a way to continue to deliver products and processing refunds for those who have requested them.
after that they moved into the "holy poo poo we have to settle wth the FTC for $40m lol fuuuccckkk" phase

I wonder what phase star citizen currently is in

There were probably plenty of people who were pissed off that they couldn't get rich because the government put Charles Ponzi in prison. And when Star Citizen's all said and done, they'll blame us mean old goons and Derek Smart instead of the guy who pissed away over 170 million dollars

It's just really hard to admit you were a chump, I guess

I still regularly hear that buttcoin is a way to democratize money from people who seem vaguely unaware that commerce has a history that goes back *over fifty years* and someone keeps floating an alternate bourse because bubbles are how you make phat stacks.

Now blockchain itself is interesting, but people are running into the problem that you have to trust the base model and gently caress me we're back to a trust model with a hinky verification step. No, don't bother trying, I've sat through enough conferences to know that the underlining thing is interesting, but the smoke and loving mirrors are in full force.

They weren't the only sketchy hardware outfit that lit out with cash, IIRC, but they were the biggest. Pre-kickstarter, too, so they got hosed on the technicality of promising a product and recklessly throwing around the word 'preorder'.

For each one that is bought. For Clifford AKA Miku this means $150 or more in shipping something that any ebay seller would have shipped for $15 altogether or Amazon would have shipped for free.
