First time seeing the PCB which is still a render. Progress( I hope), or money grab? Discuss.

Interesting that there is no estimated shipping date.

Like you said, it looks like a render, but I still believe this is progress.  If nothing else it is nice to see what they think the PCB layout will be.

Hard to take seriously without additional data.  Who want to pose as Boss Hogg and give them a call, demanding terms on 500 boards yesterday?

Lol.. reminds me of when I contacted Cointerra. That didn't go over so well though, they wouldn't sell anything to me at a price that would ROI even in bulk, so I walked away. I have a feeling HashFast would have a similar outcome.

Maybe it didn't help that I played hard ball... "my way or the highway" type of thing. They chose the highway. :D

What really bothers me is that they are still showing renders instead of real products.
At this point in time they should have had some real circuit boards to show as proof.

Too many sales, too many lies, and still no real product to display, I'm going to go with money grab.

If this is legit then they should be giving enough of these modules to their batch 1 customers so they can at least break even.
