I just got an email back from them, they have added a forum section now to answer any questions, of which I have loads.

They even have a project running of a miner that can mine scrypt but then with a push of a button mine SHA-256.

This could be just a wind up but if it true this could change a lot of things.

I mean if that wanted to scam, wouldn't they be asking for money right now?

I am tempted to throw some Bitcoins at it and see what happens, its only Bitcoins a few Bitcoins after all.

I would never have believed that SHA ASIC's would see the light of day but they have.

I think a lot of people have been in the background working hard and maybe SAI is full of it but I have a feeling others will follow, even if they fail to deliver.

Just a matter if time.

A Scrypt ASIC chip cannot just magically switch to SHA and vice versa, this company is telling porky pies, don't send them any money. Bitcoins are valuable why waste them on something as unprofessional and scammy as this dog and pony show.

I have been watching this for a while now. They have updated post now and it explains a little bit more but they are really holding their cards to there chest.

I would like to see a newletter signup section added though.

If there was a buy button on there already I would say 100% scam and stay well away but they seem to be holding off right now.

I'm going to go for it but only order one when batch number 1 opens up. Nothing to lose other that a few Bitcoin. Better than my 25GH's BFL miner that I have yet to see.

I contacted these guys a few days ago, didn't feel like joining their forum until I think about making an order.

They emailed back saying that the 50,000 KH/s might be an overestimation due to size constrictions. I guess they want the unit as small as they can get it, reminds me a little of BFL with unit size.

I asked if they are not releasing something a little smaller and they said one was in the works.

I guess only time will tell but still they are not even asking for any money or pre orders, I take that as a good sign,

Well, take it how you will but they are now listed on cryptostocks.com

I will buy like 1 share just for the hell of it :-)

Well I bought 10 of them, as I think I could make a profit off just the shares alone.

Not really bothered with the actual website/company/organisation or whatever they are.

Then again, I have loads of shares in most of the projects on cryptostocks, so this is just an extra one for me.

Any new users reading this, don't invest what you cannot afford to lose.

I did comment on one of there posts on there.

As for my photo, no-one had better been using it anywhere else.

I chose to use my real photo for a reason.

No they have not responded to my email yet. I just changed my email address to a different one on gravatar and changed the password.

A blank image now means it is pointing to nothing.

They need to get there own reputation and stop trying to piggyback on others.

If they don't email me soon to explain, then they can stick their 10 shares.

RS mentioned yesterday, "Why should I disappear with the money?"...
He's about 40 and married with family and a house and EASY to find in fucking Tasmania or whatever...

Hey moron follow the fucking instructions..

and Ill be sure yours will be the last to go out

I doubt anybody buying at 0.99 is thinking fondly of all the upcoming dividends.

Indeed that was my p2pool which was the last known Bytecoin pool out there. I did take it offline to replace one I was providing for Ahmed for this pool projects. I felt it would not be too terribly missed as I was down to 1 other user other then myself mining on it. I am now running my equipment running solo on BTE. I have been a majority of the network hash rate for quite some time now.

I supported the idea of a merged mining patch so that this chain would see long standing support from miners all over. I fear that if in the last while had I stopped mining it altogether it just may die.. After reading so many comments in this thread I am mostly undecided about it now. It seems this thread has sparked some more hash power across the network, 15+ blocks in the last 24 hours is something I have not seen in a long time.. Where where all you guys before this thread? I could have used your help along the way too ya know..

My biggest fear, should we decide to ditch the fork/merged mine idea (and to be sure everyone is on the same page here, including merged mining into Bytecoin REQUIRES that the chain be forked) is that if we continue to struggle along until finally we reach re targeting and have a new difficulty that better represents actual network difficulty, what's to stop someone or a few individuals with vast amounts of hash power from running us through that next low diff period and then abandoning us once again 2 re targets from now? Please make sure you consider this very possible situation.

We are currently fighting to keep BTE alive because someone choose to attack it, and that could happen again. While I agree forking the chain either in favour of MM or a different difficulty targeting algorithm does in some ways take away from the initial idea and also what drew me into BTE, it does also help protect the chain and any of our investments into the time in securing this network so far. 

I'd like to open more discussion on these topics, either here if Ahmed does not mind or we can start another thread on it. Most of the points here so far are very clear they don't want changes, but I haven't seen much for explanation of why they so desperately wish to leave it as is. I ask you now to weigh the risks, consider, and once again please speak your mind.

the merged mining would give it a more consistent hashrate. Think of the current hashrate + mmpool hashrate = new hashrate after the fork. What i was thinking of doing was setting the hashrate at the hard fork to something slightly lower in order to increase the block times. However i am in 2 minds about that

i can agree but the diff is something that needs to be looked at, im thinking of setting the diff to be a static value at the hard fork so we can bring it down to a normal level

BTC-e has had and might still have a very large stake in NVC, which is the primary competitor to PPC. This gives them a motive to suppress PPC through short selling.
