*Avoid at all costs.

One of the fairest overall summaries I've heard thus far on CryptX stock.  True enough, I knew at the time I was voting that this would shorten Peta's life and also agree with Netwerked's conclusion that pretty much any hardware manufacturer and % dividend reinvestment would've only prolonged the inevitable.  Although that inevitable could've been quite sometime if we could reverse the clock to when CryptX "loaned" us the money for the huge not so great last batch of hardware.  Oh well, at least it will disappear soon and no more money will be lost to it.

This asset was pretty much doomed from the start in retrospect but then again, what mining asset isn't nowadays? 

Unfortunately there is no chance they will be shipping in two weeks if they haven't even tapped out the asic's yet.  Best case scenario we are looking at middle if not end of next month and that's assuming they don't find anything wrong with their board design once they finally get the chips in hand.  (assuming there even are any chips, which I'm really starting to doubt at this point)

And another CS asset bites the proverbial dust.  Latest post on hashigh from crypto::stocks:

(.)(.) business activities are further paralyzed (.)(.)
Dear Investors!

First, we have to apologize for the long silence. We try to close currently all open construction sites. By the departure of some key team members, we are sitting on a pile of broken glass, that needs to be cleaned up now.

Here our problems in detail:

    There are no current mining activities, because we cannot achieve any more profits here. This was due to the rent for the rooms in which the pools were located and the high price of electricity. The GAWminers worked for some time, but we had problems with the chinese power supplies. In addition we are concerned about the orders at Flowertech and Alphatec. The devices are paid, but not delivered! After announcements of these companies, the delivery of the hardware is delayed more than two months. According to our calculations, these devices will never be profitable.
    The remaining Gridseed Miner are only a few dollars worth and, due to the negative trends of Scrypt currencies no longer be operated.
    Our autotrading software is no longer active, as the responsible developer is no longer in the team. Therefore, we have no access to the program any more.
    The import / export activities have been completely stopped, because the responsible persons are no longer in the team and it has not yet succeeded in establishing new good contacts.
    The brothel-coin was discontinued for ethical reasons. This has turned out to be a big mistake, because this is going now made ​​by others without HashHigh.
    For new ideas and projects there's a lack in the necessary manpower.
    The capital base is very thin. Currently the remaining team members can no longer be paid.

The last mining revenues generated we pour out as dividends. The way things are this will be the final dividend for a longer time.

Finally is to say that we enter into a long tunnel and probably for a long time no light at the end of the tunnel is visible. HashHigh stands at the crossroads. It looks damned badly.

The remaining HashHigh team

*Think I'm completely giving up on CS stocks as soon as I dump what few remaining shares I have.  They are pretty much nothing but scams. 

Nice.  Not too shabby really.  I've been staking just under that for the past couple of days.  Looking forward to seeing what my first payout is

1.) Where you staking 24/7?
2.) approx. # of day's until you received your first reward after enabling?

Good lord this coin doesn't want to seem to take too massive a dip ever.  Have been trying to pick up another coin 'on the cheap' but doesn't look like my order will be filling anytime soon :p

Absolutely hell no.  Cryptsy just has far too many issues with depositing and withdrawing funds on the vast majority of their coins.  Particularly with BTCD, I'm usually lucky if my BTCD withdrawal's even get processed on the same day (and we are talking amounts < 1BTCD)

There is about 0 probability of this happening.  I just finished dumping my shares for ~73% loss and truth be known I consider myself lucky to have gotten back 27% on what I put in.  Both ScryptX and Petamine where obviously designed with the 'long con' in mind.  Get out while you can is my recommendation.  Given CryptX's track record things will only continue to get worse.

Started downloading reddcoin-qt wallet earlier this evening and now only ~2 weeks away from sending my few test coins over to see about this PoSv situation.

Absolutely bogus.  Never trust sites like this nor sites that claim to be something that they are not.  For example, there is a well known fishing e-mail going about that claims to be from blockchain.info asking you to reset your wallet password.  These sites are just phishing for either careless or unaware people.

There's alot of this kinda stuff around so be careful.

Also interested in testing a unit.  Have several old BFL's sitting around that I would be more than happy to post a video showing them running on your unit. 

And most importantly...no ASIC chips!

Latest article on the sad state of affairs of alpha-t on CoinDesk:
"The Viper has seen several design changes over the course of its development arc, a process that has been both praised and decried by the mining community. CoinDesk will continue monitoring the Viper’s development and provide an update when a delivery date has been formally set."

source: http://www.coindesk.com/mining-roundup-new-tests-viper-look-inside-bitmains-bitcoin-factory/

According to the article Alpha indicated that they believe they will begin shipping units by the end of the month.  This, when they don't even have the first batch of chips on hand to test controller integration, etc.

At this point, I'm > 65% sure that the whole Alpha situation is a complete bust and that's being generous.

Likely Coindesk article title for October on Alpha-T:
"Alpha Technologies fails to deliver.  Filing for Bankruptcy, customers left in a lurch!"

Stability of the dollar?  Whose dollar exactly?  Certainly not the United States? :p

Those are some pretty serious temperature extremes.   Frankly I'm a little surprised you didn't burn any of them out.  I've heard that the technique your mentioning is what they are using in over half a dozen warehouse farm's over in China with the evaporation cooling technique.

It's funny I came across your thread right after attempting to login to my account only to discover that the SIM chip in my cell phone has gone south so I'm unable to 2FA :/

So yes, I have a few GHS on hashnest that I purchased a few days ago, but because of phone issue(s) I can't actually login and check to see how my investment is doing atm.

How long have you had the 149GHS and what kind of daily earnings are you currently getting?

Would probably be interested in a couple of smaller packages of beef jerky provided it was reasonably priced and I didn't get killed on shipping costs.

P.S.  Love the picture of the sunlight coming through the tree near the pond.  That's a beautiful looking place you have there and I bet the beef tastes mighty yummy to boot.

Not a shabby looking setup at all.  Just want to echo the concerns of others in this thread with regards to cat's though.  They seem particularly drawn to the magic money producing heat boxes for some reason.  No wonder the Egyptians worshiped cat's for thousands of years!  They know a good thing when they see it!

Oh yeah, and if you have kids, definitely electrical tape around the exposed hard-wire on the PSU.

Good lord.  I think I'm going to need to change my freaking shorts after taking a gander at all that deliciousness!  Really starting to look like China isn't wanting to be left behind on the Enterprise-Scale mining operations and with as many chip foundries and chip designers as that country has I wouldn't be at all surprised if > 50% of all the hash on the bitcoin network isn't contained within China's borders within 20-24 months.  (putting away tin-foil hat)
