Is your miner hashing?

Hi.

My name is Tom. AMTminers Order #1183 And I want to say that I was recently approached by few companies/distributors which reached out to me last week offering me 15 bitcoins a week to say negative things about AMTminer/Bitmine. I am a client of AMT and a Chinese American national as well. They saw that I was on the forum in the Chinese section (different username to protect my identity and other business) and they sent me the messaged the following:

您好研究员中国人。

我们集团总部设在中国的分销商，而我们偷筹码微小quanitity从Bitmine芯片厂。

我们有一个非常有限的供应，只有1,982芯片。我们将建设成只有47名矿工。我们想卖给他们的最低8,000美元，将提供他们很晚了，但我们给的佣金非常快。

现在，我们正在努力使我们的矿工工作，但我们没有成功。这就是为什么我们是卖预售矿工的方法。我们希望把现在的钱，并尝试建立和更高的实际技术员。

 我们卖我们的产品与4瓦特不同的公司名称，所以我们可以拿钱，也许使他们的工作。

我们已经创建了4个不同的公司（一个即使是在英国），并有与没有工作现在矿工的图像。

我们知道AMTminers和Bitmine产品出货到客户端现在，这会毁了我们的机会来销售我们的矿工。因此，我们必须停止这两家公司销售，这样我们就可以从美国人民窃取。

作为中国一哥，这是你的责任，以帮助其他中国企业在这个行业生存。请帮助用英语你的高知识，说坏话，做错误的AMTminers和Bitmine的声誉。你将不得不说谎，但对于中国的生存，我们必须做的不对的这些公司。我们必须停止这些公司。

我们付出了每周15比特币对你有所帮助。我们将与我们的矿工很快被开采并不会有任何问题向您支付。

请写回到我的身边，如果你愿意提供帮助。

It basically says that have stolen a small quantity of chips from the bitmine factory in china. They plan to make 47 miners and want to mine with them first and sell them and deliver them late. They say they are creating fake companies here in this forum to try and pre-sell them. The go on to mention they need time and money to try and make the miners work. They want to stop AMT and Bitmine from selling and they claim to be paying 15 bitcoins a week to write bad things about these two companies.  They go on to try and coax me into working with them because they I am Chinese and its my duty.

I have been working with Chinese for years because of my main business and the fact that I'm a Chinese American. I have seen things like this before and know it is very possible for a Chinese supplier to pay for black PR or negative/bad press/reviews of a competing company, especially if the other company is not Chinese.

The truth is, I'm more American than Chinese, and I'll never go back to china again unless its for the cheap production. I've talked with Jim from AMTminers, I've built a personal relationship with him and I'm a client of AMTminers. I like their brute approach to this industry. Because of the relationship I've developed with Jim over the phone, I feel like it's my job to show what is happening. How a normal US based company can get trashed on these forums from Chinese liars and scam artists.

But If I didn't have the 6 figure income that I currently do, I might take these guys up on their offer, even though they would probably not pay in the end either. 

I felt it was important to show the community what is happening on the Chinese side of things.

I had a similar experience and had a moment of WTF. I just kept trying different cables until I found one that worked. It seems the female ethernet connector on the ant's do not mate up well with some connector/shield combinations on some cables.

It is better to have $5 at hand now than wait to get $10 (it's a Greek saying).

I , last sunday was the first payout.
Untill now it seems to me that this not a scam, but I can only say this for sure when I made a return on my investmen.
 

And why are you selling these miners???

OH, you are "testing" them and when all "testing" is done then they are good to go right?

I agree at least from Bitmain to USA UPS is faster tested hundreds of times
