Title: Mining Operations - MGT Capital Investments
Post by: MWalk on September 26, 2017, 06:36:44 PM
Hi Gents,

Looking for some critical feedback.

Not interested in "gossip" - I'm familiar with (at least what's been in the news) the various stories about John McAfee.
I AM VERY interested simply in what anyone can share about the technology behind MGT Capital Investment's Mining operations (the good, bad, and ugly).

Thanks!

Been a year this week since MGT's launch and rather surprisingly, no McAfee style update on their news section or even a Happy Birthday from Bitmain. Can't say if the edge that MGT purportedly has is really any better than what others have. Unfortunately, the burden of proof is on them. If I were curious enough, I'd wonder what kind of hashing power they have now, especially with the reported expansion last month. Doesn't seem like they've opened up McAfee pool yet?

I've seen some early work on tech that (on paper, at least) looks like it might rival or even surpass MGT's claimed advanced and secure UI. easyMINE is one (and no, I don't buy theirs either).

Excellent - thanks for the feedback - I kind of expected as much!

What edge are they supposed to have? They just have a facility in Washington just like a bunch of other people. They keep trumpeting how big they are but their press releases sure dont make it sound that impressive. Claiming to be an industry leader with only 18ph of machines is a joke.
