To be clear, my objective is to destroy the AMT brand, with or without the help of others posting in this thread. Also, I am not a miner, nor have I, or will I ever order anything from AMT/Joshua Zipkin. Joshua Zipkin went as far as to lure me, or have me brought to their office, as seen in the following post: Quote from: AMT_miners on March 24, 2014, 09:38:30 PM
In kind, we'll counter with the following.
We're offering a 20btc bounty to bring Phinnaeus Gage to our office, along with his account here on bitcointalk.
Looking forward to seeing this bounty paid up. Needless to say, Josh Zipkin reneged on paying out that bounty when I did indeed travel 800 over the course of two days to collect said bounty myself. In fact, he went on a diatribe for ~15 minutes outlining why he wasn't going to pay out the 20 BTC bounty as his two employees sat/stood in the same room. As I've stated more than once, I clearly seen the writing on the wall within a couple minutes, realizing that I wasn't going to receive one satoshi from Joshua Zipkin, thus devised a plan to walk outta AMT's office with something tangible in hand. Josh offered me the demo miner if I deleted all my posts, along with making a video with him showing the miner hashing, of which I quickly agreed, opting to go toe-to-to in playing The Liar Game with Mr. On The Level. Josh also offered a position to me at $1,000/mo via BTC to moderate his official thread on this forum, of which I also immediately agreed to, but had no intentions of honoring, for I knew first-hand what type of snake I was up against, and that protecting the bitcoin community was more important to me than making a wage off a snake. Here is the video that Joshua Zipkin kindly posted and re-posted and re-posted, ect., probably hoping that it'll hurt me in some way. Far from it!: To watch the video please click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO-EGJhdx4Uhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO-EGJhdx4Uhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO-EGJhdx4UI'm the 54-year-old tired guy with the beard that looks and acts like a gnome. Josh is heard off-screen claiming that I purchased a miner, of which was never the case, but went along with his scheme knowing full well that I would tell the Bitcoin community the full truth at the first opportunity - of which I have, continued to do so, and am doing such now. |

Just an update: We're due to receive our full chip batch in next week. We received sample chips in a few weeks ago. Testing is positive and the board is running fine.
We've contracted a PCB/Computer contract manufacturing facility located in PA. They have been around for a long time, and are one of the leaders in the American electronic contract manufacturing market. They'll provide us with ability to streamline the assembly, surface mount, heat-sinks mold (via their metal shop and glorious CNC machine) and several other areas where we may lack, like ISO certified and UL standard assembly of our miners. They're also currently assisting with streamlining the assembly processes of our smaller miners as well. And the 80's 128's and 180's are now down to a 14 day shipping lead time, and decreasing by 2 days or more each week.
Yes its another expense most wouldn't choose to do, but we feel keeping production of these miners local, rather than outsourcing everything to china like most, will pay off in the end. Everything, less our lian li cases and the chip is now produced in America, by Americans.
Streamlining these runs will allow to get back on track with our past orders and deliver future/current orders on the shipping dates we've promised. We expect to have miners out door within 7 to 10 days from the date we receive our chips. 5 of those days have to do with ISO certified processes that we can skip when working with true professionals.
AMT
when working with "true professionals"? I almost peed myself when I read that comment.
I thought i would highlight the critical lies here. It is apparent there is NO ISO certification involved with the manufacture of these miners. Casiriahmine's miner is a prime example of what AMT is shipping. The man is basically having to re-invent the wheel to get his damn miner to work properly. The handful (on 1 hand) of miners delivered have all NOT WORKED! I have little to no experience putting miners together. When my "broke down" miner arrives it will remain just that - broke down. If these miners were assembled in a reputable facility with proper ISO credentials, by people who know what the hell they are doing, these problems would not exist.
I thought i would highlight the part where AMT said miners would be out the door 7-10 days after receiving the chips. AMT KNEW THEN THESE MINERS WOULD NOT BE SHIPPING FOR MONTHS. THEY LIED THEIR ASSES OFF. Now they have people groveling for just parts! This is pathetic.
I also highlighted the part where they said the board tested fine. How they can say the boards were tested with all the problems we are facing now? HOW CAN THEY SAY THESE BOARDS WERE TESTED AND RAN FINE? i'll tell you how they can say this. THEY ARE LIARS
1. they lied about my initial delivery date
2. the lied about updating this thread every week
3. they lied about keeping an order queue
4. they lied about mailing me a refund
5. they lied about wiring me a refund
6. they have lied about saying they would hire people from this forum (twice)
7. they lied about something as dumb as being associated with Freemasons
8. they lied about my second delivery date
9. they lied about being able to pay with credit cards on their website
10. THEY LIED ABOUT PAYING BRUNO 20btc
11. zipkin lied about saying he was going to ship my miner as "punishment" for calling him out on this website and amazon.com
12. they lied about the wattage
13. josh said he was starting his "own forum"... just another lie.
14. they lied about saying they would hire someone to answer/help with phone calls and emails.
15. i think i can safely say AMT has lied about their MPP. They have shown no willingness to make up for late delivery and subsequent difficulty increases.
16. josh lied about "selling" a miner to bruno. he then turns around and admits to sabotaging the miner by increasing the voltage to 0.96.
17. they lied about supplying me a new tracking number today 4/1/14.
18. NO certified (ISO or any other) facility being used in the manufacture of these miners.
19. AMT claimed the boards were tested and were running fine. LIE!
20.
What's the next AMT lie?

Advanced Mining Technology: Bitcoin Miner Manufacturer LitigationJoshua Zipkin (Josh Zipkin) will, and has, used every trick in the book to garner hard-earned moneys from the Bitcoin community over the course of 7 months, and has yet to show a working 1.2 TH/s bitcoin miner in the wild, in spite of claiming that they have delivered hundreds of such miners. Josh Zipkin of AMT (Advanced Mining Technology/Advanced Mining Technologies) just closed their main thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=304605 in lieu of creating not one, but two self-moderated threads, of which his sole intent is to silence me, Phinnnaeus Gage, a.k.a. Bruno Kucinskas, who is currently the loudest voice in the Bitcoin community in showing that Joshua Zipkin is a liar, and has been doing such from day one. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=304605.6400Case in point, from their very first post, AMT try to obfuscate the name of their company, shown here gleaned from that now locked thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=304474.msg3260017#msg3260017Please go to https://AdvancedMiners.com to view our miners and place orders. Advanced Mining Technology Inc (AMT) is based right outside Philadelphia in Havertown, PA. More info to come. The above information DOES NOT jive with the name of the company that they registered in Delaware. https://delecorp.delaware.gov/tin/controllerTHIS IS NOT A STATEMENT OF GOOD STANDING
File Number: 5341525 Incorporation Date / Formation Date: 05/29/2013
Entity Name: ADVANCED MINING TECHNOLOGIES INC
Entity Kind: CORPORATION Entity Type: GENERAL
Residency: DOMESTIC State: DE The last act the AMT performed when they closed their official thread that was not self-moderated was trying to discredit me: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=304474.msg3260017#msg3260017Please be forewarned that dealing with AMT or Joshua Zipkin now, or in the future, will only cause you grief and a much lighter pocketbook or lesser bitcoins in your coffer. For the past month I have begged AMT to sue my ass if what I'm saying isn't true. To date, they have yet to take me up on that offer. At this penning, such a lawsuit is still welcome, for they are on record in stating that I, personally, have hurt their business. Ironically, that is exactly what I intent on doing from this day forward, thus hoping that AMT does not garner one more satoshi from future victims. This thread will act as a vent for all those who've been hurt financially due to AMT's actions, moreover, inaction. The following are AMT's two new threads to serve the customers they fleeced, when prior they weren't able to do such with just one. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=569769.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=569772.0Anybody doing business with AMT, namely Joshua Zipkin, from this day forward only have themselves to blame when their deal goes south. ~Bruno Kucinskas

Okay, Josh. Go ahead and start that self-moderated thread, whereupon a scam thread WILL be immediately created and bumped every day AMT is in existence. Not a threat, but a promise.
This is actually a perfectly valid solution as far as I'm concerned since that's what the scam accusation forum section was created for. A boring reminder of what the hardware section was meant for: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=139380.0If that can't be maintained, as has been the case in this thread, then I have no choice but to recommend the opening poster start a self moderated thread. You seem to be fair, mod, thus I'll chill/scale back, thinking more prior to posting. Would I be allowed to the use the word 'weasel'?  Later, bud. |

Something's not adding up here. It's been 24 hours since this thread was created and only 17 posts total have commented on it. Not even a year ago, this thread would have been several pages long - and counting.

What do you get out of calling him names? You just look completely unprofessional and that tarnishes your credibility in my mind. Please forgive me! Is there anyway I can apologize to the weasel for tarnishing that critter's good name? Okay, Josh. Go ahead and start that self-moderated thread, whereupon a scam thread WILL be immediately created and bumped every day AMT is in existence. Not a threat, but a promise. ~Bruno Kucinskas |

To AMT opening poster: I suggest you post a NEW "official thread: AMT" as a self moderated version, put a link to it in this thread and then lock this thread closed.
JOSH WILL EVEN GO AS FAR AS TO STATE THAT I'M THE CAUSE OF ALL THIS. Are you not? I seriously don't have an issue with you, mod. In fact, there's only one mod I have an issue with and that's davout due to the 1,132 BTC that InstaWallet still has in their control. Oddly, I was praising davout/InstaWallet all the way up to the day of the hack. In fact, even 2 days afterward, for I wasn't aware that my bitcoins were gone till the 3rd of April, 2013. As far as AMT is concern, to answer you question, probably more so than any other at this speaking, but a lot of what I've uncovered was address prior to me getting here, with Josh claiming at the time that THEY were the cause for the mess he's in. In fact, AMT/Josh Zipkin tried to pay/recruit users to combat the so called trolls on his thread, thus allowing him to garner more sales and fuck more people.  NEW THREAD POLICY. ANY FORUM/THREAD MEMBERS THAT HELP AMT FIGHT AGAINST TROLLS AND NEGATIVE THREAD MEMBERS WILL GET 5% OFF ANY MINER WE SELL + 1 TO 2 WEEKS OFF THE EXPECTED SHIPPING TIME FRAME. STARTING NOW 12/09/2013. THAT DISCOUNT IS ON TOP OF ANY DISCOUNTS OR OTHER PROMO'S WE'RE RUNNING NOW OR IN THE FUTURE AND CAN BE USED AT ANY POINT THE TROLL FIGHTER WOULD LIKE TO USE IT. How do you help AMT fight trolls? When other members make negative remarks or post something that can be construed as something provocative or something generally undermining towards our credibility you should follow that post with a positive response and if the situation calls for it, an intelligent remark against the troll or negative individual Including reasons why they are possibly being negative, or provocative. Also, random comments here that are supportive and generally nice for AMT to have on it's thread is also considered helping AMT fight trolls. A combo of the two is preferred. Don't fake it, but just support an up an coming mining manufacturer through positive remarks. When claiming your discount please simply provide proof of your posts via a message to us directly here on this forum from the username that you used to post with. One post wont cut, we're looking for real supporters here and we'll reward those that are positive and cheerful individuals on this thread from this point forward. There are a few members which already earned this Troll fighting discount and I'll make a list of them shortly. I have uncovered more lies stemming from Camp AMT than any other, yet now I'm going to be the one shut down. UTTER MOTHERFUCKIN' MADNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

EXCELLENT IDEA! THAT WAY THAT ONE FUCKER THAT'S TRYING EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO MAKE SURE OTHERS DON'T GET SCAMMED BY AMT/JOSHUA ZIPKIN CAN HAVE ALL HIS POSTS DELETED. JOSH WILL EVEN GO AS FAR AS TO STATE THAT I'M THE CAUSE OF ALL THIS. DO IT, JOSH! I DARE YOU! I DOUBLE DARE YOU, YOU FUCKIN' WEASEL! |

Or the screws *were * there and are now rolling around in the packaging or delivery truck. Don't suppose the screws have star-washers so they can't shake loose do they?
Found these under the flap at the bottom of the box.  Hopefully the blades banging each other during shipping didn't damage them too much. They need to be using something like these machine screws w/star-washers that are part of them http://www.mcmaster.com/#95345a047/=riqrv4 also available with sheet metal threads. Not true. Even with Star Washers, tightened case screws DON'T just pop out in transit. This was either intentionally done (damaged on purpose to blame Fedex) or these weren't tightened at all and fell out due to vibration in transit. Hard to believe. Or someone wants a refund so they'll scream RMA or make problems here. We'll figure out a way to combat this going forward, maybe pics before and after shipping per order associated with anyone on this thread. I hear you, Josh. Clearly, all those having issues on this thread are NOT On The Level, and probably doing everything possible to destroy AMT. Glad to hear you have arsenal up your sleeve to COMBAT them bastards. Peace, Brother, for I, too, have traveled West to East, then East to back home sans a 20 BTC bounty that an On The Level brother promised me. BTW, how's Toronto? Rumor is from some of my buds there claim they haven't seen you. Please prove them fuckturds wrong by showing proof that you did indeed attend as stated you were going to on this very thread as shown below.
We were due to be on the expo today, booth 401, we were going to demo our 2.4's, but in light of this news we felt its best to go to Toronto instead.
This sentence doesn't make sense. It might be missing a "not". Or is that where Josh was driving last night? correction "We were due to be on the expo today, booth 401, we were going to demo our 2.4's, but in light of this news we felt its best not to go and to go to Toronto instead. |

It would probably be wise for everyone that is upset with their damaged/non working miners - to go ahead and pack them up correctly and ship them back to AMT (at your expense). This way they can't fight giving you a refund.
Waiting for RMA parts from this circus known as AMT just doesn't seem worth it.
These miners have incompetence written all over them. Hard to believe anyone with technical skills would of been able to ship these out in this condition. QA my ass. Thermal paste, loose screws, missing cables, damaged boards and bent cases. Everything that could of possibly gone wrong, has - and now it's time for AMT to rectify this situation.
AMT you should be honoring refunds NOW. People have waited, and now they are FUCKED. Tell me how anyone WOULDN'T be eligible for a refund after you've mailed them busted hardware after months of delays?
Again folks do not sign on delivery just refuse. The chance to get your money if there is still any chance not in court is bigger Ps Thermal paste is not an issue assuming it is non conductive But amt are full of surprises always This is true, the thermal paste doesn't conduct electricity - it being smeared everywhere wouldn't cause an issue, it's just sloppy manufacturing is all. If they used a brand of thermal paste with silver in it, it might conduct VERY LITTLE electricity - not enough however to short something out. The silver stuff is usually more expensive, so I highly doubt AMT went with it. One of the conversations I recall having with Josh in the parking lot of this office is that he was having trouble finding the right thermal paste to work, thus being aware that an issue was at-hand. |

Did you know that AMT had a Manny working in the office at one time? http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18560800&page=125Got a reply and have asked for a guarantee re a refund prior to delivery and exactly when the point of no return is from their perspective!

Thank you for your inquiry.
We currently cannot accept CC payments on our larger miners, we are only accepting CC payments on the 80 gh and 120 gh miners.
We do not offer guarantees, the lead time on the 1.2 th/s miners are 6-8 weeks, and you can cancel your order anytime up to the delivery of the unit.
All the best, Manny |

Good news, everybody! All the support you need in located on AMT's venerable site. Simply use the password that came with your AMT Heath Kit, and voilà, you're golden. Why Joshua Zipkin hasn't mentioned this prior is anybody's guess: http://advancedminers.com/client-support/ Also, note that 4,545 happy customers have "Liked" this on their Facebook page, albeit they're probably fans of Red Bull Shit as well. I guess it's harder to fudge (as in pack the fudge) on Twitter: https://twitter.com/advancedminers/followers |

WTF! Joshua Zipkin already admitted he's not an engineer. Hell, NONE of his profiles on the internet even suggest he's versed with hardware, offering up just one for proof: http://www.crunchbase.com/person/joshua-zipkinPrior to TheDealFair, Joshua worked in the Balkan markets where he established and created some of the first daily deal sites in the region. Since then, he and his team have focussed primarily on TheDealFair.com, while also developing several original eCommerce based services, such as a unique microjob site, an apartment letting site, and diversified mobile apps. He is the founder of Setupstarters, a web site development company with services that range from social media marketing consultation, to outsourced BPO. He attended PennState University where he majored in International Economics. Coming from Phildelphia, and having lived in Europe, he considers himself to be an entrepreneur of the world, constantly mixing mentalities with unique ideas, to solve the problems of today’s industry leading sites.

Well there goes my only working board. its cooked itself see picture below of a nice cooked heat sink. im tired of this now and im requesting a full refund. i am not happy with the product i have recieved. this is very poor considering ive spent $3999 on basically scrap. im that fed up with this that i will not accept any form of product replacement i want a full refund. email sent requesting this also. guys stay well clear  Dude, you do realize that with this one post this is the death knell of AMT's, don't you? |

Remember, AMT sent out hundreds (their words) of 1.2 TH/s bitcoin miners, albeit all those who waiting for one penning on this thread didn't receive one till recently. And, it was stated that they were send sub-par units per their instructions, with AMT wanting to make sure that those who ordered complete units received them working properly. Care to guess what happened? All those who got their units earlier are supposedly hashing away with nary an issue, while those who waited for complete properly working units, eventually requesting kits, continue to get smoke blown up their ass by The Mighty Zip. That doesn't sound like being On The Level to me. |

 Hold on a second Loshia before you scare everyone with your provocative statements. Yes we've said that " Now We are in distress, and may need some help from the community". But you're contribution has been anything but that, and our miners work fine and you should be the first one to know that and admit that of course. WhoAAAAAAAAA there, Mr. On the Level, it's up to you to show, thus prove to the community that your 1.2 TH/s bitcoin miners are working, preferably via video you promised two months ago. Remember that promise? To date, nary a properly working 1.2 TH/s AMT bitcoin miner has been seen hashing in the wild via video. On a lighter note, hope sales are brisk from your brissed friends, stemming from your booth at the Bitcoin Expo in Toronto. For those having trouble finding it, simply follow the Red Bull empty cans trail. |
