CTS is legit. Traced them finally... http://www.cms.uk.com/ they are indeed a subsidiary, and in the same building, and same voice on recording, and one digit off on tele # and My brother talked with Rebecca. I still don't want one though. Really? So we have only renders on site and only bitcoin payment and you say that they are legit? Are you drunk or high? here... since nobody seems to know how to use a computer... on the UG.gov website...  I'm not answering another flippin comment about them... do your own homework, and make your own decisions... KNC has been too good to post all this here imho, it belongs in the cts thread, Im done. Pretty sure that the below puts this to bed.. UK.Gov seems to think they existed for quite some time... you have proof otherwise? https://i.imgur.com/fzSG1YM.pngOr you guys too busy whacking off to Rebecca's pic to investigate, and would rather just troll? We all predicted the "unknown" asic companies secretly developing...and here they are... now you chastise the secret development, when it's a key component to any high tech business, and when it unfolded just as predicted? ABOUT US
Crypto Technology Systems, the team behind the CTS Miner, have been established in the microprocessor industry since 1975. CTS are an elite group formed internally from a world-class microprocessor engineering company at the forefront of Embedded controller design and manufacture, supplying products for a wide range of applications including Aircraft Testing, Remote Switchgear Operation, Stock Control, Instrumentation, Oil and Petrochemical Exploration, Marine Science and Environmental Control.
We have been following the cryptocurrency industry, and particularly Bitcoin mining, for the past year and a half. In May 2013, a team was put together to work on producing Bitcoin mining ASIC chips to be used in miners. Our small management team have had the backing of 50 full time microprocessor designers and engineers here in the UK. Over the past 8 months, we have worked tirelessly to build a group of products which outperform all competitors that will be available at a price which is un-matchable. The "Crypto Technology System" is not a subsidiary of "Cambridge Microprocessor System Limited". They are completely different entities. The first entity is fake and unregistered, while the later entity is real and registered. The people operating the first entity is misrepresenting the later entity. They are providing false information to instigate a false sense of confidence among potential customers victims. http://www.ctsminer.com/contact-us/Unit 17A

Facsimile: +44 1371 606051 The "Crypto Technology System" is using a very similar address and telephone number used by "Cambridge Microprocessor System Limited". Notice the slight difference is the zone letter for the address and the last digits for the telephone number.  A research using domaintools.com Internet page shows the domain ctsminer.com was redirect from the IP address 185.8.106.66 to the IP address 199.188.201.252. In accordance with the above evidence, the Internet Page was host in the IP address 185.8.106.66 from 13rd January 2014 to 17th January 2014. An examination of the IP address 185.8.106.66 reveals some interesting results, such as: https://www.virustotal.com/en/ip-address/185.8.106.66/information/ The WHOIS record on 19th January 2014 for the domain butterflyiab.com matches exactly with the WHOIS record on 12th January 2014 for the domain ctsminers.com:   That means it is very likely the same person operating the domain ctsminers.com is also responsible for the domain butterflyiab.com. Both domains were first directed to a hosting service located in Lithuania. One domain is being used to perpetrate a fraudulent scheme and the other was registered to prey on people which misspell the official domain from Butterfly Labs. |

I doff my hat, that is a fine bit of detective work. I also checked the wayback machine Internet archive and the website has been designing and manufacturing MICROPROCESSOR system for many years. This can't be a scam. https://web.archive.org/web/19990208012249/http://www.cms.uk.com/The data points are really starting to add up to them being legit. Hopefully, someone at the company will be working this weekend to give us more information that we can verify and paint a complete picture. I think they just didn't realize how many people have been burned and are very wary about new companies with amazing products popping up overnight. Although I can't find any social profiles for any of them, it isn't all that unlikely. I also have ZERO social profiles a well. I never used one and never will, because I know what Google, Facebook and the like do with your data. It's sickening. If people actually read their terms and conditions and understood it, they would never signup. Most people just don't understand "implied consent" or any other legal terms. Social networking is a big sham. Every piece of data you give them they use against you and profit heavily from it. They make thousands of dollars every year from each of your profiles (data that YOU give them) and have their way with it over and over again. Yeah, but anyone can say they are working with a legit company, doesn't make them legit. Best bet here is to contact CMS themselves and ask. The majority of the other foundries have been forthcoming on their collaborations with Asic companies |

Mr. Searing, don't despair either. I actually enjoy your long posts with embedded jokes (if I happen to read them), as they are quite funny at times.
Traced them finally... http://www.cms.uk.com/ they are indeed a subsidiary, and in the same building, and same voice on recording, and one digit off on tele # and My brother talked with Rebecca. I still don't want one though. Searing Don't care if they are, or aren't real as I won't be buying from them, but If i was going to buy I'd speak to CMS first and confirm as having a similar address and telephone number is hardly 100% confirmation and probably a good way to make a scam look more legit (if it is a scam, again I don't care so am not playing detective) The voice on the recording is not the same by the way, regardless of you Yanks thinking us Limey's all sound the same  |

http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/25870621The BBC has already reported Bitcoin a few times although it is not omnipresent on their site. What's interesting about this is that the report is in the kids' section. They also have a link to a guide to Bitcoin, also in the kids' section. Educating the youth. It's not real news until it's reported by Lizo! |

Someone email Amazon the same question, if they replay saying the same thing then the screenshot is real.

I can just see the meeting of Amazon execs now...
"So, we've been working on retooling our website to accept bitcoins as a payment method for a while now. It should be ready soon. How should we let the public know about this? A press release? A big banner on our website? A series of TV commercials? No, let's just tell to some random asshole who e-mailed our support center and let me spread the word to everyone else. Yeah, that's what we'll do."

Having seen how sexy the HF and CT cases are, a really interesting on-topic discussion would be the neptune case design? No one has even mentioned that yet. I'm sure knc would appreciate some input at this early stage, way before they start, so they don't go and make the Jupiter mistake again (i.e. front heatsinks blasting hot air into back heatsinks, attaching last minute baffles to lid - a lid which many people leave off)  Assuming they go for a 4 board design again, what would be your ideal neptune case look like? Air/water/oil? There were some mock ups on the Kncminer forums a while ago, can't find them now. I'd like water or oil, easier to build a little cooling system for multiple units rather than buying loads of noisy fans. |

If this is true then great news although I am very sceptical as there is no way to verify this information  If this is true, I am selling everything I own for Bitcoin, but I'm 99.9% sure it is BS. |

I sent this email to Amazon's customer support on Jan 19th. This was my message. It was a little crude but I was in a hurry and didn't expect to get a response back. " Original Message --------------- 01/19/14 09:50:00 Your Name: Alex Myers Comments:Hello, I was wondering if Amazon.com would be willing to accept bitcoins as payment for merchandise on their site. Since I have quite a few bitcoins that I would like to spend and there aren't many major websites that accept bitcoins, I would like to ask if there would be any chance of you begining to accept bitcoins in the future so I can spend my stash. One of the reasons I prefer bitcoins over cash is because they are much more secure and there is no chance of having my personal information stolen, like what happened at Target recently for millions of customers. This would give me some peace of mind. Also, the transaction costs associated with bitcoin are almost 0% compared to the 2.5%~ cost that credit cards charge. Would you be willing to begin accepting bitcoins on your website? Companies like Bitpay and Coinbase make it very easy to accept bitcoins and then transfer those bitcoins instantly over to cash for almost free. I would appreciate it if you would give me this payment option. Let me know what you think - Alex Myers --------------- " I opened up my email today and saw a response from Amazon. " Hello, Thanks for writing to us. We don't accept bitcoins as a payment method on our website at this time. However, I am pleased to inform you that we are in the process of creating our own bitcoin payment processor and will be able to begin accepting this method of payment in the near future on Amazon.com. In the meantime, we accept credit cards, debit cards, payment from U.S. checking accounts, Amazon.com Gift Cards, Amazon Payments Stored Balance, and the Amazon.com Store Card. Here are the credit cards we accept: -- American Express -- Diner's Club (U.S. billing addresses only) -- Discover -- MasterCard -- Visa, Visa Electron, and Visa Check Cards -- Eurocard -- JCB -- NYCE -- STAR -- China UnionPay (credit card only) You can learn more about these payment methods on our Help pages: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/?nodeId=513058 Thank you for your suggestion to accept bit coins as a payment method. Customer feedback like yours is very important in helping us continue to improve our website and services. I appreciate your thoughts. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Best regards, Hariprasath S. " Is this important news? Let me know your thoughts. pics or gtfo.. |

My daughter just Skyped to tell me that I received a very large box from Hashfast today (in the US). No shipment notice preceded the box. It just came.
Unfortunately for me, I left for Europe yesterday for a week long business trip.
I paid USD. I am almost at the end of the Batch 1 queue, only a few places above the backorders. I did not ask for a refund.
Wish to hell I was at home to set it up.
I haven't seen the thing with own eyes, but if it's not a Baby Jet, I don't what would be in a "very large box" sent from Hashfast.
a bomb?

I doubt home mining is going to be around by the end of the year, though Cointerra and KNC have both been up front about this. Everything in Bitcoin is evolving quickly at the moment, adoption is up, massive advances in mining, I just wish the price would follow suit. Here's hoping that once the China situation which seems to be hanging over everyone like a dark cloud is out of the way, we see the price improving.
I also think it's quickly going to turn into a 2 horse race.
May I ask what you feel the China situation is and what would put it 'out of the way'? I don't disagree I just don't understand. If it's anything like printed circuit board manufacturing in the US it doesn't end well. Clarity, even if it's bad news, reading posts/articles from a Chinese persons perspective and speaking to a few, they too are in the dark with what the guidelines actually mean. I'd like to see volumes kick in and things heading back in the right direction after the 31st, even if that does mean a crash first. Then again, there is the argument that the news is already priced in. |

To the folks who have used my referral link for Neptunes: THANK YOU
2 folks have used it. I don't know who, but wanted to provide an update. I will hold to my commitment, any "free" machines I get from KNC, I will dedicate a third of the profits to charities.
I will setup a thread on the matter soon. Those who have used my link can provide me with charity suggestions, and I will give those priorities.
8 more to go for a Neptune
Keep in mind, I can host many Neptunes (power-wise), so don't worry about that. And this is a form of giving to those who don't even know you, which is truly an ultimate form of helping fellow man. There are also charities for the environment, if that's your thing.
Nice work Vesper Willow! Very good to hear you're doing it for charity as well. |

it's hilarious to think that just because miners piss a hugely lopsided ratio into obtaining newly rewarded coins that all coins in circulation rises...
that doesn't drive the price up.. just drives up the pain for the late to the party miners
I wasn't saying they had a direct correlation, more just talking about advances in Bitcoin as a whole and that only the price wasn't following suit. |
