Hey guys,
I received my miner today after 6 months of waiting. Does any of you know how to start the miner up, or can someone give me the password to log in to AMT's client support?
Thanks
I don't think the AMT's client support page even works. |

The customer came in with a half built unit with 5 hash boards installed. He received the unit earlier in the day (just about 4 weeks ago or so) and brought it to IMET. We did not try to power the unit. Instead, we took it all apart and tested one hash board at a time. 2 of the 5 hash boards received worked. I showed the customer how to test hash boards and gave him a rack of hash boards right from our stock that were never delivered to AMT. He went through the whole rack and saw 100% yield. I gave him 3 working hash boards, and we spent 3 weeks working the pieces of the design that were flawed. We never laid a soldering iron on the PCBs. They worked fine out of the gate.
In the 3 weeks that we were working on the system, there were no problems with the electronics. That particular unit has much more than 4 days on it. At this point, I suspect, it has closer to 10 days as we were running prior to making it available online. I have a machine shop making parts for us now as we are duplicating to get the rest of what we have here running. Unfortunately, it is not much. My hope is that AMT will come through with payment. If not, I'll see what I can whittle away from their bill using other means. Could you explain in some more details of what this customer needed to do to fix the flaws in the design? Are these software fixes? Are these how the heat sinks are mounted on the board? |

Interesting. At least it came back to 1 TH/s. No the same with the units that we got, when it failed, it failed permanently. I confirmed today that either the power or the Internet to the building went down as we had other computer hardware offline when we tried to start work this morning. Keep watching. Very interesting indeed! Running for 4 days straight without any hiccups! I thought these systems were fundamentally broken? How is it that IMET is running the system continuously for 4 days without any hiccups? Its possible. Couple of reasons. One they have hardware they fixed...and are now mining with clearly. And its possible to have a working batch of hardware...To be honest they had an "outage" it could be that the hundreds of boards they they have could be replaced. I am just stating don't be so quick to believe them either. I had a working miner to start with for a few days before it systematically failed. It seems to be more like rolling the dice and hoping you get a lucky working device. 4 days is hardly a real benchmark with this hardware it seems anyway. There are other people here who had working devices for a bit longer than that and it started to fail later on. We don't know they could have a bunch of working miners there for all we know. We don't know. IMET could just as well be covering their own ass...but fact is they are mining with hardware. We don't know the situation as both sides have a reason to state its not their fault (regardless of whether it is or isn’t they have to do that for legal reasons to avoid liability) We have 100% yield on the printed circuit boards that AMT left and did not touch, and I have an AMT customer that can vouch for IMET in this case. The only reason I did something with the stuff AMT left is because an AMT customer came here and was willing to put in the sweat equity as long as I provided guidance. This is the reason why I had time to take on this project. I thought that it would cause AMT to pay their bill in exchange for info on how to get working units out to the public instead of pulling chips off of boards or whatever they are doing now. We did not fix, modify, or change any of the PCBs. We did not replace any boards in the system after the power outage. The only reason I was in the shop on Sunday was to pack up for the Medical Design and Manufacturing show we had this week in NYC. There is no rolling of dice, and I'll leave it to the AMT customer if he wants to come forward. We will keep this unit (which actually belongs to the AMT customer now) running, so keep watching. We had no working miners here, we simply started by rebuilding the unit that the AMT customer brought here. The system that he received only had two working hash boards out of 5. Again, we did not fix, modify, or change any of the PCBs. We replaced the 3 bad boards, and I had the AMT customer do all of the things that I suggested that AMT do while we were working with them. We have other units up too. So why was a customer allowed to go in and get the miner? He put in the work to pick it up and that’s it? I get there is a dispute between AMT and IMET, I am just wondering how it was a customer was able to get a miner from your location? All said its kinda interesting if you solved the issues and AMT is not running with this......I am just pointing out that its better to keep a certain amount of scepticism until its certain that things are what they indeed appear to be.... If you are making arrangements for customers to get hardware like that....what is the arrangement? Sounds like its possible to get hardware from you directly? Customers could do this? Is there an added cost involved for those not skilled to put in the "sweat equity"? The customer got the miner directly from AMT. I just helped him get it working. We are not supplying hardware. AMT has most of it anyway as we allowed them to take receipt based on prior dealings and a check that we didn't suspect would bounce. The AMT customer put in the sweat equity and I put in the money to get where we are right now. I figured I would see this through as I am interested in this market. Just to clarify what you are saying. The customer came in with 3 bad boards, you replaced them, and now they are working for 4 days straight? |

Has AMT ever shown a working miner? |

Anyway fuck this shit. I am not going to fight AMT's battles for them. Whatever happened they need to sort it out. I was just curious (and a bit bored today). It just makes no sense. And if we are getting technobit hardware to replace the crap we had, it would have been nice to have the support of the company that designed the hardware, but looks like its not happening now based on this.
you have painted yourself AMT's lapdog - no regrets now. you still have no idea what type of man Joshua Zipkin is. Hows that court case working out for you Craig? Piss off your lawyers enough to the point where they asked you to stop calling them? I don't think it is wise to taunt your customer / person that is suing you. |

Good point Craig.
That being said hows your court case going? Lawyers let you off the leash to go and post on the forum? Or is this all circumstantial evidence which can never be used in a court of law due to the people in charge of this forum.
I know.. And im just a newbie. But i think AMT is going to deliver everyone a working miner accept for Craig lenell. Because Craig lenell is annoying bastard, and even his lawyers can't stand him anymore.
Looks like someone found an old sockpuppet account they forgot about. Hi again! Unbelievably pathetic that Josh Zipkin even bothers to use a sock puppet to try to smear Craig. The 16th is this Monday folks.... mark the day. |

As far AMT and Bicknelski joined forces against us.
WE are stopping any support to Technobit design boards produced by AMT.
And will avoid to do business with AMT in the future.
i.e. if some of AMT customers have troubles with AMT products , please do sort it with them .
I do have some level of expectation that if AMT ships Technobit boards to us that there would be some level of support from Technobit. I don't think you can simply pass the buck on this one. |

Don't know what's behind this but appears Marto (Technobit) doesn't trust AMT. Well, he shouldn't. AMT just scammed one of their suppliers IMET by sending then a bad check. |

What the hell.... you mean to tell me you aren't supporting AMT anymore? Did AMT not pay you for the designs? |
|
|

Because they are operating in a different country now, and the lawsuit here wouldn't stop them from scamming more people over there.
Yes, but why draw attention? The mere association is a negative. Of course, give the hundreds of threads out there, how is it that minertechnologies is aware of this AMT thread? |

How would you know they are doing a good job? All the video shows is some box with some display that says that it is mining. Who knows what's underneath the hood.
Sorry for getting in to this thread, but since we were mentioned by topic OP, I guess its okay. This particular mining box will be sent to dogie and its marked with guarantee sticker. Will make some more videos soon. Good job guys. You're welcome over anytime. Keep up the good work and we're excited to see what your capable of. Talking to yourself is not a good sign. So "AdvancedMiningTechnologies" and "MiningTechnologies" are the same entity. What's the deal? Sounds like Josh is getting out of AMT due to all the lawsuits and branded a new name/business for himself. Could be, however why would anyone want to taint a new business by associating it with AMT or Josh Zipkin? |

Yeah send me one of those, What is the point of AMT showing off another company's wares? Unless of course that's what you folks will be delivery to us in exchange for the garbage you sent us. We were just saying we think they are doing a good job. And ya know, their name isn't all too bad either right. How would you know they are doing a good job? All the video shows is some box with some display that says that it is mining. Who knows what's underneath the hood. |

They now appear to be selling A2s as well.
Interesting. Looks like all the miners have disappeared on their page. They are now only selling chips, A1 and A2. The prices finally appear to be inline with reality. Probably this is all that they should have done in the beginning. AMT just doesn't have the technical skills beyond just importing stuff for sale. Also, 2 months later they RETROACTIVELY announce... https://advancedminers.com/amt-closes-sales-amt520s-amt1-2s/That they are stopping all sales of 520 GHs and 1.2 THs machines This is the post on their website: AMT Closes sales for AMT520′s and AMT1.2′s Based on our production capacity, and several other factors, we have closed sales and will not accept future orders of specifically the AMT520 or AMT1.2Th until we have caught up in full with our current pre-order deliveries. AMT appreciates your patience regarding these specific products built by AMT, and please know that some circumstances which have cause our delays, were out of our own control. As usual, they take no responsibility... "several other factors" - oh he must mean that not a single 1.2TH miner they sold is fully working. Just a small detail to leave out. Ridiculous. They conveniently forgot about the 2.4 TH/s machines they claim to be shipping on April 1st. Was that not also pre-order? This stuff is so ridiculoust that I'll just wait till 6/16 for a formal response. Meanwhile folks, please post the tracking numbers for all the RMA returns. I want to know if they are going anywhere and if you got something back. |

Yep, I'm squirming all over the place, because someone slightly smarter than you (not hard) found some of the many posts I made where I said I wasn't a customer of AMT. Wow you are such a hero!
Good luck with the RMA, you'll be sending back the only thing you'll ever get from AMT, and never receive another miner. Hey, why don't you worry about the real frauds here, AMT. Too busy on payroll with the job that they offered Phin, of defending AMT in the forums, I'd guess.
I personally have plenty of pictures of the rig to document it, to be honest I'd kind of like the giant paper weight out of my house. I know the wife will be pleased. It doesn't work at all so sending it back isn't any loss for me personally. And it doesn't affect any pending litigation, so don't really see much of a point of holding on to it currently. I get that idea, since it is worthless now, I'm just imagining these frauds doing something like selling the broken units to other people now to keep the process going without having to even come up with more hardware. They have to be completely broke at this time, I don't know why they haven't just disappeared completely and have the one person that we might know the real name of leave the country. Wow, that's vicious. How about this for a chain of events. AMT takes responsibility for making poor choices in the fulfillment of it's processes and issues a recall. AMT issues this recall of miners (even though some still work fine which has been noted here several times by several members) in order to insure that clients get long lasting working products, and AMT re-builds and reships all miners that were previously shipped out, while scrapping the returns. AMT takes another LOC in order to increase production abroad and fulfill all orders within a few weeks, while developing services for the community which better the community as a whole. AMT changes its policy to all products sold will have a 5 to 10 day delivery at most (10 day just encase someone lives in New Zealand or something) and only sells stock miners, or miners which can be assembled and built in a 2 day period of time similar to other successful companies like caselabs. AMT integrates with key market players and focuses on development and fulfillment of new orders via from new market segments which are created by incorporating AMT's ideas and concepts into it's miners which ultimately attract segments of the market which have either been forgotten or segments which AMT creates through market demand. Rickjames never formally apologizes but one day writes a post which reads something like" "Alright, they got their shit together, that's all I ever wanted anyway". Sounds wonderful. For those of us who ordered back in November I assume that this policy statement covers us and that we can expect equipment within 10 days of the promulgation of this policy as stated in this forum. Really guys yet another own goal please try harder some of us really want to like you and making statements that actually come true will go a long way towards that. I look forward to receiving my equipment on 6/15 or at the worst 6/20 (p.s. I live in TN not NZ!) Edward I would not be surprised that you will receive the broken miners that we are sending back! |

My name is Michael and i have an order with AMT for 2 1.2Th/s units.
These units were purchased in November 2013. My order number is 596. Over this period i have sent ungodly amounts of emails to AMT. The most recent 2 weeks ago i was told they would reply to me the next day. This is after promising me delivery multiple times until just giving up on communication altogether several months ago. I would appreciate a public update on this situation. Why are you recalling and reissuing items that are faulty when you have orders that have not been filled at all. Would you publicly state when my order is set to deliver or when a refund will be in my account. The lawyers are awfully interested.
Same for me Here is the reality for folks who have yet to receive a miner. The only reason I believe I was delivered a miner (unfortunately broken) is that I had a case with the Delaware County consumer affairs division. They failed that and that body recommended I call the District Attorney to file criminal complaint. Possibly the only reason why they are issuing RMA's is to show to the court that they are doing some to address grievances. Of course, I have yet to hear them shipping units to users who never got one. A complete mystery. They once claimed they couldn't update the website because of a court order (this despite a lot of fraudulent claims on the website), now they've updated it with a claim to sell A1 and A2 chips. Anybody's guess that they'll deliver on those A1 and A2 chips. |

i think its cool they mentioned his IXC activity. can somone tell me where i can look up the ixcoin Net Hasrate? to the price: i think the 'old' coins will profit more than most new 2.0 coins. There are so many scams now, after some time, people will head for something more solid without insta-/premine whatever. do you guys think anything will happen to the price once we reach block 210000? Up? Down? 1 Satoshi?  thanks Block 210,000 subsidy rate cuts in half. So less supply for miners, possibly the price goes up. |

I got no follow up from AMT regarding the RMA.
Anyway, I received a letter Friday from the Office of Attorney General of Pennsylvnia requesting additional information.
AMT legal woes going to turn to the worse.
