1  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Acorn M.2 FPGA based GPU Accelerator-Considering legal action! on: January 18, 2020, 05:41:33 PM
SCAM Alert

I purchased Acorn M.2 FPGA based mining accelerators when the first batches were made. Not only did Squirrels miss the delivery date by over 6 months, they falsely advertised what this product was capable of doing. I have not been told by anyone from Squirrels, or anyone else in the industry, on the prospect of their promises coming to fruition. Let's just say it was less than encouraging.
Go to their website and store and things are a lot different from just 60 days ago. Acorns were demoted to development boards and now no longer available.
Squirrels did offer limited bitstreams, but never anything close to a "GPU accelerator. "

Possible legal issues:
False advertising,
Wire Fraud,
Possible interstate commerce violations?
Because they operate in the "web" and ship worldwide, it would be a federal matter.

At any rate, Squirrels, should be made to answer for their actions, under oath and under cross exam!

I will be following up in this thread with transcripts of my correspondence with customer support. If anyone has screenshots of the website before it was changed, feel free to post them here!

1- They told you that GPU excelleration was not coming to fruitation because of things they had no control of.
2 - You were offered a refund...several times.
3 - Quit threatening with lawsuits. No DEV is required to make you any bitreams no matter what you think you are entittled to, unless you signed an NDA and hired your own. (I'd build private bitstreams to avoid little lawsuit fappers too).
4 - You have no ground to stand on. YOU made a bad "investment" choice and loss. Move on. Just as everyone else has.

Super positive, easy escrow transaction of 0.125BTC (@ $1450 USD) using Dream's Escrow service. Highly recommended.
If anyone has questons i would be more then happy to answer what i can...apparently I need BCT "credablility" anyways.

I just got a discord dm saying i won a 0.25BTC bounty from mercatox from a bot. I have never heard of this nor have i signed up for anything. It's proof of scam. "Give us money, we'll give you more". Like someone calling me claiming to be my creditor, but asking for my credit info, it's bullshit.

Not the first to claim 1st coin backed by gold.
Where is your gold mine located?

It's not hard to create a tar.gz you just made a gui for it, neat. Also, if you can't even package a gunzip file you shouldn't be building a custom miner in the first place. I suggest using caution here.

mineority.io/product/fpga  I know the acorn is a different product.  The point is that the two are VERY connected.  

And... that is a really good thing.  However, there still could be a far better job of demonstrating the products being developed.

just watched a long video from a week ago with good inputs about mineority and acorn... mostly on mineority which I don't see fully illustrated here... but maybe that's on the senseless thread.  That's a whole other concern but here are my notes:  https://youtu.be/PHlKmrqAufc

2 or 3 open source crypto mining bitstreams are available

bit stream: customized arrangement of virtual componentry to perform in a certain way

payment methods: mineority "all sorts of shit/alt coins" this is pretty awesome... fiat has to go through fpga.land which is gpuhoarder (okay... so this is good and bad... good that there is an option... bad that it is not directly functional through both sales platforms.)

Acorn:  each device gives a boost to up to 4 GPUs.  25-30 Mh/s spread across 4 GPUs.  3 versions.. (i think this is covered somewhere in this thread)  ethlargement pill would have a boost and improve power efficicency.  

ethlargment pill: can improve any "memory-downed" algo

200,000 P106 will be coming online for hosting purchase at mineority

Mineority goal is to help small miners.  I imgaine that is similar to Acorn

Walton coin miner... more may come relating to this.

Really good insight on DIY porting.  1525 shell... c-logic into fpga and make bitstream

couldn't answer questions about actual performance stats... rule of thumb about 10x various algo (ethereum excluded).  Public results could be posted any day.  

Users will be able to choose which algo through some interface if hosted.  if delivered to user, users will have pre-loaded senseless/gpuhoarder bitstreams to be chosen through senseless/gpuhoarder software.

It's an hour and 40 minute video and I had to take a break.  will update more later.

bad ass news about a pool coming in about 3 months...  It would automate optimization settings once connected to the pool.  0% fees on mineority pools

answered q's about setup and open/closed configs, maintenance costs included in hosting price.  

discussion about algos... she likes pigeon coin.  something like 30-ish algos exist for mining.  discussion on ASIC production details. 

can send asic to mineority and they will boost performance... 14th/s easily to 17 and possibly 21 th/s  (I think that was on S9)

more...







Good Stuff thanks for the recap Grendel! I'll check that out. Have you not touched on some key points I have been searching i probably would have turned it off seeing it was 1 and a half hours long.

This thread is 26 days old.
Zero proof it works.
No demos
No videos
No screenshots.

I simply ask the following proof of concept.

What can you show us?




see below you mention pre orders mid june or late june

Looks interesting, do you have an aprox. order/ship date or not yet?

Mid to Late June for all orders and information. First batch ship a few weeks after.


where is the video?

David,

This is great!  Thank you for sharing your information with all of us.  I am really excited to see you develop this product and if it all looks as attractive as it does now whenever pre-ordering comes online then I'll be interested in possibly 10+ depending on performance characteristics as this is tested and developed further.

I guess the only question I have at this point is regarding the tangibility of reporting.  You said you wouldn't want to release some shoddy looking video but do you plan to release at least 'some' video that is of a reasonable quality?  

Other than that, I would just like to share this little write up on M.2 slot tech.  50-650% data transfer boost is really impressive  https://www.howtogeek.com/320421/what-is-the-m.2-expansion-slot/

I’m sure we can produce a video. I’ll never understand why so many people like to watch videos online, but ok Smiley




I am reading this now

Can anyone find a link to the Discord server mentioned in the first post?

I think this may be the one

https://discord.gg/3B27dWD


read  discord

  I still don't see a product

I don't see  a way to order

I don't see the boost it gives.

I do see you missed your dates  of mid June to take a preorder  and you are about to miss  the late June you mentioned.

Seems like the Acron M.2 FPGA is in his hand in this post:

That's not the acorn, BCU1525

I have been using the MTC exchange and so far no issues. just be warned there are so pretty off the wall trade offers there.

What brave soul will put this card to the test and reveal its potentially mega hashrate??

It has been done, it will be tested this weekend ... Live for all of you.

Weekend almost over, how's it coming BBT?

Geforce aorus 1080ti
Evga sc2 1080 ti
Total on Lyra2Rev2 @30,000kh/s @15k each.
Can't seem to figure out how to clock these for Monacoin and the likes.

if you need pm me i mining monacoin!

Thanks!
I'm guessing i bit off more then i expected to chew. Newb here. Looks like i need to work on the stock 750gpu driver. I'll post an update soon...have a couple other projects to finish first.

Just got updated, stable 135mh out the box, 122mh undervolt
