Do all of these potcoin websites have the same author? Because the template sure looks copied between them all.

Someone successfully talked to him on Linkedin and as soon as the topic came up, he broke communication. I would say they're all in on it. |

Did I miss something? Wasn't there supposed to be an announcement about their next excuse for not shipping customer's miners. Have they gone totally dark, off the radar completely? Sure doesn't instill any confidence to those who are waiting for their rigs.
Their last update was the first week of october about them being several days ahead of schedule for assembly, after which the systems would automatically be shipped out. They said they'd be releasing another update within a week. It never came. Their forums are lighting up and it's all falling apart over there with their long-term fans starting to realize the truth. They've gone dark, removed their address and contact from the website. If they have functional equipment, they're likely mining with it like BFL did. There's also the greater likelihood they don't have any functional gear (something went wrong/lack of assembly parts/etc). Lack of communication is always a bad sign, especially when they state their Manchester operation is for customer service and open communication--and then remove the paths for that. Last call for the lifeboats before the ship sails.. you folks better get your lawsuits and demands in place before they disappear entirely. If you went through PayPal, badger paypal. Use the reference numbers provided on the preceding pages, PayPal has a history of Alpha Tech. Don't give up just because one representative is an idiot. |

Yeah it isn't bityay at all, it's very clearly registered as bitbay.
Well, it seems they've at least produced something in the last year. This thread may as well simply be folded.

That's back prior to PayPal freezing their funds.

did anyone get the cores to wake up after raising the voltages?
Like I shared a few pages back, on their SHA256 gear I found with some funny boards which had a die issue, that I'd have to use varying voltage and speed settings for each die to get them to come back alive. It almost seemed as if the DC's were draining too much current from their common supply. If I got the bum one to come on, 2 other 'good' ones would shut down. I have one board with a very odd speed and voltage configuration. The voltage is stepped, and for 2 of the dies I'm lowering voltage while increasing clockrate, and for the other 2 I'm increasing voltage while decreasing clockrate. I found this out by setting stock voltage and then dropping to the lowest clockrate, going up step by step until it wouldn't work. Then I'd back down and see if I needed to add or remove voltage, and kept doing that until it either worked or killed off other dies. Good luck. |

I believe the paypal/frozen story was also corroborated by some users who said that PayPal had marked their account as fradulent and frozen, and was one of the reasons why they weren't immediately reversing matters. The CoinDesk article came after the fact.
Where's all the AT fan folk now?

If only they'd use the right amount of plugs per PCB, and didn't use Chinese-sourced cheap plugs... then perhaps it would've been a decent product. Feel bad for the folks who paid for this stuff.

can this "Mahmoud" was killed? therefore there is no news on the website.
If so, then I understand that who did it.
Their website has been modified a couple of times in the past few days, so it's doubtful he's been cleaned up. |

Honestly, for anyone having PayPal difficulties, this is all you need. Get PayPal to look up Alpha-Technologies in their system. Remember, PayPal froze Alpha-Tech's assets *because* of the allegations of fraud 6 months ago. They're still frozen. Now, the company is packing up shop, their physical location is likely going to disappear, and they're refusing to communicate with any customers. They've effectively dissolved themselves.
Everyone with PayPal payments needs to rush PayPal at once, and explain this calmly to a representative, and demand their issue be escalated. Demand the supervisors pull up Alpha Technologies in their system.
Their whole product is out of date at this point, even the power projections. Current scrypt machines are pulling under 1200w for 300mh of hashing. AT's hope was to be under 1800w at 250mh.

I have a feeling their physical occupation of that spot is no longer. They're cleaning up physical presence. Keep in mind, that was supposed to be their customer support site, as I show in one of the images up above. So now they're removing their location. I think we all know what this means ...
And now over a month with no news since "receiving physical chips"...

And Bob's your uncle. This has been discussed a hundred pages back or so, their registration is fraudulent. Someone was pursuing police/legal action on that particular item, but they disappeared. I want to say this was back in June.

First it has to be established where legal papers can be served considering the registered office address they have on record at Companies House is unserviceable.
That might be a good thing in disguise. It's up to a registered company to have a servable address, if they don't, they've failed part of their business registration, and in some legal cases, it will go against them straightaway. |

Well lads, no news from AT on shipping then ?
Wait for it.... waaaait for it....: Soon |
|
|

I wonder what that 'issue' might be?
The issue is like many other companies doing this to people, nobody is holding them personally responsible, and nobody has gone looking for them to deal with it in person. |

Thats great, you have your opinion, yes there were a lot of people who were upset as they lost bitcoins in the initial investment, look right back to when GPUcoin launched, i know i was one of them.. So, What if the coin could be used in the ATM to sit alongside Bitcoin as the only other coin to be used as digital currency. the value will rise. But not only that, what if.. You can convert your coins later for shares in other companies to reduce your risk.
But to what end, is my point. There's like 20 coins which are crypto-atm compatible, several with their own dedicated services and atm networks. None of them are going anywhere. Yours provides a similar service, but you still haven't explained what it provides which others don't already provide, aside from select shares which narrowly locks you into something even less fluid than a global transportation system. To me that's like saying, you can hand the keys of your BMW over and in exchange, I will give you a bicycle with one wheel, which has a more stable value. It's a synthetic attempt to lock value to a fiat asset, but without a clear purpose, what does that matter? Crowd fund coin? Because it can solve issues that current crowd funding systems have? You say it has it's own market value, but the white paper suggests otherwise, that it's being controlled by a central group (note that I didn't say a single person) and even then, it's synthetic control. The risk isn't inherent in the value (or lack) in the coin, thereby being reduced by an asset, the risk is the coin having no value because nobody needs/wants/uses it. This is one of the biggest things that people fail to understand in this industry. Even if you have a stable price, if there's no point/interest there's no flow, and when there's no flow it has no tangible value to the public. |
