<ranting so snip> You think that if the thread was just left to a paid shill like you <more bull - snip>
For the 'official' and if needed legal record I have to date:
Received zero return on the $4089 I spent with them.
Received zero payment of any sort from AMT et-al.
For the sole purpose of doing qualified professional 3rd-party forensics of the designs and hashing boards - gratis mind you - I
have received:
1 pc TH miner case with cage and backplane. Yes arrived poorly packaged but mostly intact for testbed purposes. Ditched the case, just have cage holding 3 hash boards. 2 Briefly worked. Of the 2 - one still sorta does and is my sole remaining 'operational' reference.
8 of the AMT hashing boards in total including the above - all non-functional in one way or another, several minus heat sinks and as-received from the CM. All from the various versions produced before attempts at production of the oft-revised designs as given by BitMine.ch and produced by the CM up to May-June (?) or so was stopped. No idea on the exact dates.
2 main controller boards with pi's and cables. Minus the SD cards btw. Used my own and Josh sent me an image of the software.
Diagnostics time to date: including pouring over the schematics, BOM's and looking up/through component data sheets, microscopy to verify physical construction & components used (and approved substitutions), hardware testing as in signal timing integrity, voltages, etc.: 47 hours. Again all Gratis for the BTC Community. btw - my commercial paid rate is well over 200$/hr when on-site. I am good at what I do. Very very good.
In other words - I have a forensics testbed and components
all of which per contract remains property of AMT. I found EXACTLY what the problems were/are with those hash boards and reported to AMT what I'd found.
From only the hardware point, just who is legally responsible for the myriad of issues with the original miners and to what extent is for the courts to decide. I can categorically state that of this mess perhaps the ONE thing that AMT has done right is not shipping more than a hand full of what was produced. Things would be far worse here and elsewhere...
From the customers point - AMT and AMT alone are who is on the Hot Seat. Hardware issues be damned their general business plan has been sketchy at best.
So much for being a paid shill, eh?

Hmm.. members like sirmines, RickJames, and a few others who's only apparent purpose on the Forum here and in other threads is to try and kick over the kettle and fan flames despite never having bought (or tried to buy) gear from the companies in question 
). Of course they display all the info you would ever want on power & condition as well with simple front panel display.
I will say that a power chip missing over 50% of its expected cooling path combined with getting hit (very briefly) with excessive core voltage is not long for this world... These are all items that any CM with a design team should have found in initial design review and later design change reviews and known how to address properly.
And the Spond's are still sold out.
Mmmmmmmm.Mm,mmm!
