I’m always amazed at blah blah

Kahuna Troll. My inquiry was directed at @gmadden, not you.

We know how We know the present firmware was There will continue to be Those who use it can they need to be they must rewrite you fix something you are rewriting you double (or more) the things that can go wrong you still need What this means that goes slower because that ignores the risks they are subject to there is risk

You just wrote another diatribe filled with speculation. Last I checked, you said you do not work for Waytools, and yet here you are again making ignorant and uninformed assertions on behalf of Waytools.  You really have no place in this conversation Kahuna. You are a troll.  Stop butting in and trying to answer questions for other people. You have no independent or verifiable or first hand information. Stop trying to cover for Mark Knighton. Stop trying to be his little Deflector in Chief. Stop lying on his behalf. Your behavior is pathetic.

@gmadden said his keyboard works fine and has no Bluetooth issues.  My original questions stand for @gmadden. I am interested in hearing his answers and opinions. I'll repeat the post here for visibility:

I personally don’t have problems with Bluetooth and my TextBlade. Daily I use TextBlade across iPhones, iPads, MacBooks.

And yet, Mark Knighton refuses to ship it. Care to guess why?

 Have you ever run a firmware update on your TextBlade gmadden, or heard of someone running a firmware update?
Have you heard any reports of any treg tester bricking a Textblade as part of a firmware update procedure?
Does interrupting a firmware update brick the keyboard?
Can a Textblade be un-bricked with a reset procedure and firmware upgrade re-run?

 Why, in the entire universe of firmware upgradeable devices, is only Waytools unable to ship a product with firmware that can be easily upgraded at a later date?

There are countless little electronic gadgets available (with a fraction of the alleged R&D input of the Textblade) which have no problem implementing an intuitive firmware update procedure that works. Why can't Waytools figure that out? Have an opinion?

Why is the Textblade firmware update procedure so unreliable that Waytools cannot risk releasing firmware v1 while they finish v2?

If there is no serious and good faith logical answer to these questions, then perhaps the real answer is simply that there is no Textblade being offered for sale under any circumstance, and the technical issues alleged (firmware re-write) are a cover story.

Isn't the much more likely truth that they cannot afford to produce it (and thus lie to everyone by not disclosing that fact), or that they are restrained from selling it due to patent/legal issues (and thus they lie to everyone by not disclosing that fact)?

Mark Knighton is a liar. There is no believable technical explanation for not releasing the product. The firmware re-write excuses are lies.

TextBladeDenied - customer mims wrote us and asked for a discount on expedited shipping as compensation for the wait.

And he no doubt made that request operating under a false pretense, established by you, that the product was shipping soon. (How many years ago was this exchange?)

WayTools_Support said:

Since we provide substantial perks for those who choose to keep a preorder, we let him decide If he preferred to trade any of those for expedited shipping.  He didn’t. The perks are worth far more.

You are a repulsive liar and twister of truth. You cannot say 'we provide' - present tense - when you have, in fact, provided nothing. To the contrary, you have taken money from everyone, and provided absolutely nothing in exchange, except empty words. You have zero credibility.

WayTools_Support said:

But you already knew this, and seek to cast it as somehow bad.  

Yes, its bad to offer something to people, when you have no intention of fulfilling that offer. Its a lie. Everything you are doing and have done for the last 4+ years has been 'bad' because it has all been a charade. Your purpose is to mislead people, to extract money.

WayTools_Support said:

That is demonstrably your purpose in wasting your days fixated on what you call a ‘joke’.

You are a joke. You are a bald-faced liar. You have no credibility. You are here right now bickering with people rather than finishing the product. You are here right now bickering with people over BS rather than offering even the slightest substantive or credible information about the completion of the project and the delivery status of the product. You are without shame.

You deserve to be sued into oblivion and subsequently imprisoned for fraud.

WayTools_Support said:

You’re now repeating substantially the same content, which isn’t consistent with the spirit or rules of this forum.

You are toxic, incompetent, and unethical. You are the antithesis of transparency. You are the epitome of poor customer service. You are without even an ounce of credibility. You are scam artist and a liar.

And this is not your forum, so lay off with that 'rules of this forum' BS. If you want to quote forum rules, go do it on your forum, where everybody is already conveniently banned. The admins here can do their job without your malicious assistance, thank you very much. Your opinions and interpretations of the rules don't matter here. And by the way, nobody here thinks you are communicating in good faith with anyone, which is also not consistent with the spirit of this forum.

You have ignored every request to answer direct questions about the product development and shipping status. You have ignored the requests to do an AMA. You have ignored the requests to unban people on your forum to allow a discussion to take place there.

Clearly you are a masochist and seek all the criticism you deserve here, and so I will continue to generously dole it out to you. Your Kahuna sidekick, a propagandist shill, is a master of obfuscation and tearing threads off the subject. His cringe-worthy posts about 1980's era programming exploits serve no purpose (nor does arguing with him about it).

The only thing that matters is that you - Mark Knighton aka WayTools Support - have failed to deliver any finished product to ANY of your alleged thousands of customers, 4+ years past the original deadline for completion. And you have The Money. The Money. The Money. Mark Knighton has The Money.

You are a disgrace, Mark Knighton.

Thank you for posting again so I could remind you and everyone else of that fact once again.

Yes, but I'm pointing out that feature freeze isn't a rock solid concept. Is 12 jump slots a new feature, or an easy expansion of an existing one?

Based on that statement, I think its safe to assume that you have never worked on a serious software project before and have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

A feature freeze actually is a rock solid concept. There are different degrees of freeze implemented at various stages of any successfully managed software project.

As is obvious to all, both you and Waytools (Mark Knighton) have no idea how to go about managing development, hence the absurd 4+ years of consecutive delays.

Kahuna, are you the software team leader on the Textblade project?
