I can go stop by the current address this week if anyone wants to pay for gas, should be about $10 (they are ~70 mi from where I work). My BTC address is in the sig.
I'll be sure to post pics of the place and if someone wants to find out anything specific about the place let me know. I'll update this thread if anyone is generous enough to pay for the gas.
Give it a week or so, we're moving to a new office on the main line right off lancaster ave ok, let us get set up and you can stop by and if there is something available you can have it. |

Guys anyone that invested or contributed this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=329674.new#new A cloud hosting sharing program or what ever needs to go check out the updates on that thread. In general some guy lied and said he ordered 35ths from us and then sold micro cloud positions or something. No one checked or verified with us about this order or anything until today when someone emailed sales and simply asked if there was an order placed for 35th's and gave us the link to that thread. We immediately responded with what sucks to be the truth but I just want to inform anyone monitoring our thread for that reason that they need to go check updates there. IF ANYONE IS EVEN CONSIDERING ORDERING/BUYING A MINER OFF EBAY OR THIS FORUM AND THAT PERSON HAS CLAIMED TO PURCHASE AN AMT MINER OR IS OFFERING TO SELL A PRE-ORDERED MINER NEEDS TO VERIFY IT DIRECTLY WITH US AT AMT. CUSTOMER IDENTITY PROTECTION IS ONE THING BUT WE ARE NOT WE'RE TO LET PEOPLE GET ROBBED BY OTHER PEOPLE. WRITE TO SALES@ADVANCEDMINERS.COM AND GIVE US A NAME - EMAIL - ORDER NUMBER ETC AND WE'LL TELL IF YOU IT IS A LEGITIMATE ORDER AND IF SOMEONE HAS PAID FOR IT OR NOT! |

Well there went my last hope on this I was down to 10% anyway  Quote from: AMT_miners on Today at 09:15:43 PM WHY HAS IT TAKEN A MONTH FOR SOMEONE TO ASK US DIRECTLY IF THIS PERSON ACTUALLY MADE OR INQUIRED ABOUT MAKING A PURCHASE FROM US!!! My own answer not ment to describe anyone else 1. Stupid. 2. Did not have name to ask about but asking about anyone from BTCMiners might have worked. 3. Because of #1 it's only been a week to even suspect anything was wrong. (insteading of asking for invoice number or other confirming info) Ok, yes, understandable - but 35th's is an order we're going to notice and remember clearly, and if someone else is collecting money claiming to have ordered something from us.. its like com'n.. Like ask for an order number or invoice number or something. An order like that would have been paid via wire... im just say like ... i dont know what to say. |

Guys, Why did no one mention this on our thread or email us and ask about this. I just got off the with Donni - "Nocturnal2112" Who just inquired if this was an legimate order and when I responded No it isn't and he sent me the link this thread and I gave him a call and he just filled me in on this situation which is just ridiculous. We've had a few large orders yes, and we do know each and everyone of them personally. But guys come on, at some point someone could have just sent an email and just asked if this was legitimate order.. We've had an email dedicated to order verification for guys that sell on Ebay or resell their per-orders to their friends. Its on our fact's page at the bottom Orderverify@advancedminers.com and has been there since we put the site. I'm Jim by the way, in general we stick to our forum or the custom hardware section, even though we don't use the forum that much really. On this username it's either me Jim or Josh. Personally I handle most customer support, larger sales and what nut and the "Lebanon, IN" rings a bell from somewhere and I'll take some time shortly to try and figure out exactly where that sounds familiar. One of those cities that is like "what wait.. " If anyone has any information about this guy like another email or name or tone of voice if they spoke with him over the phone, please post it here because most likely he did inquire for something at some point. We'll do the best we can to try and help out with this, I just cant believe it has taken this long to get to us. |

i also was 'this' close to paying until i read all this and still no real confirmation. its just too vague
i spoke with some random 'egyptian' dude who said he has been mining a 1.2TH rig of theirs for over a month but no pics...
We've heard about that guy, just like some other guy on Ebay that stole our 1.2th picture and is trying to sell it. We've setup an email a long time for that possible problem and its in our facts section Orderverify@advancedminers.com if anyone suspects anything like that email us there or at sales@advancedminers.com and we will verify if the order is legit or not, very quckly. We've contacted ebay and reported them but its still up. i dont follow what your trying to say. he was actually saying you are 'ligit' and that he was ready to buy more.... this thread is the exact opposite of that. and your posts seem to clarify nothing. if i pay for a 1.2th TODAY - when will i get a verifiable tracking number? mid to end of January realistically - but that's cause your late to order man,, And i'm talking about some arab/egyptian/indian (accent) - im not sure but this man has listed the picture of the 1.2 on ebay and claimed to have purchased a pre-order and is selling it for more. I assumed you were talking about that guy. The 1.2 isnt fully build yet, we're working on it. |

Which ones are these AMT?
These are the 80, 128, 192, 220 |

You'd be wise not to confuse the rabid purchase of miners in a market with very little supply and high demand with running a business successfully.
The BTC/ASIC phenomena will settle soon enough and unless your plan was for AMT to only last a few months, you will find that being an asshole to your existing and/or potential customers will bite you in the ass.
I think what we're doing is the furthest thing from "being an asshole" or confusing this with running a business successfully. We are not running this successfully at the moment at all, we're basically just trying even run it. And other manufacture out there that claims anything but the same, is full of it. And this business of BTC miner manufacturing can only be comparable to something like "riding a psychotic horse into a burning stable". We've designed our miners to have the ability to work with several different types of chips. Slotting a board on 3.5 modified heatsink will not only allow us to keep shipping but to partner with most of the real chip manufacturers in the process. As long as our boards stay the same size, and we master ways to cool these things which is another challenge of the week (Avalon), we're fine. The LTV of our customers will surpass those of any other manufacturer. Because if your a miner and the difficulty just sky rocketed, do you want to wait for a another full miner on pre-order, or to order an AMT 220ghs drive that you can use to swap out your 45ghs bitfury drive. Coincraft is a great chip, I promise you that. And bitfury is still a great chip and will always be the best chip design during the blossoming of the BTC mining industry. But since the value of BTC skyrocketed they have chosen halt sales for the moment. Bitfury was designed by a Ukrainian man so intellectually and so smart that even 1 year later the chip itself yields a higher hashing power with the right board design. No one ever seems to notice or recognize that fact, and their distributors Dave and Niko are honest and good men as well. But in a world of chaos and greed, I don't blame them for being out of stock, but it does present an issue and a possible problem which we foresaw when designing our miners. So that effects our business obviously, but since our board/hotslot model is a versatile one, we can swap these out with Avalon boards and change our products to the AMT100 and AMT 150, and continue to ship. A problem we have currently is that Avalon heats up like crazy, so now we have to figure out a smart cooling method to the hot slot model, which we will, and needed to anyway, because moving 320W of heat per board (Coincraft) out of an aluminum case isn't an easy one. So whats the solution to that - the most simplest - slid-able removable side panels for the moment. We've designed this business and these miners with the idea of what the mining customers goes through, the problems of greed in this industry from all levels, and the problems that that the customer faces, and basically the only thought process anyone could and should have needs to start with " Ok, So what's the worst that can happen " and then make the business model backwards. So do we want to flaunt these miners, create videos and gain the attention of some of the other competitors out there who obviously invest their time and money in trolling and DDOS attacking sites(Our site is undergoing one right now by the way) and putting down other companies over the phone trying to sell their clients. (A few of our larger clients came from one company who spent 20 minutes on the phone just bashing everyone else ). Or do we want to sell and ship quietly to our customers which are also, on the level. But between DDOS attacks, an attempted break in, merchant processors/banks screwing things to hell, chip suppliers limiting availability and the worst of all it, trolls. Most men would have quit by now. But we are not most men - and if we come off like an asshole, we don't mean to and apologize in advanced. Okay, I feel bad, you sound like you're working hard. And if you are, it's even more tragic that you sound like you're running a scam, which if you just take a step back and objectively read this thread, is honestly what it sounds like. That being said, don't blame the bitcoin community or these forums as some kind of unique environment where everything is horrific. Running any small business is like what you describe. People are trying to swindle you, from suppliers to customers. I've seen it in the restaurant biz, I've seen it in B2B. You're not cursed, in fact, you have the unique opportunity to have a large amount of customers concentrated in one place (here) and that should be an advantage to you, not something to hide from. Put on your game face, show people how excited you are about it and people will drink the kool-aid if you sound positive and like a believer. Don't be pressured to promise anything because of b.s. promises other companies are making. Speaking to customers and making them believe in you and your product is a skill and it takes hard work to get there. It means not getting pissed off (in public) when someone talks shit about you or the little company you are trying to build, it means taking feedback from people with a smile on your face, even though you are boiling with rage inside, it means telling everyone to "calm down, be patient, we're hard at work!" when you mean "fuck off, we're working on it you impatient bastards". It means have a real plan and a schedule for updates even though it seems like your time is better spent on actually doing the work. Just to use a Thanksgiving analogy, when you're cooking a turkey you are tempted to open the oven and check on the turkey a bunch of times, which slows down/ruins the cooking. But, you can solve that problem with a digital meat thermometer - even though the process hasn't changed, the information, whatever it is, is the difference between watching the game and enjoying your family and standing around in the kitchen, getting short with anyone who wants to know when we will be eating. Thanks for the productive criticism, its motivating actually and i appreciate your direct honesty and sincerity actually. We need to work on pr. |

So AMT are you selling technobit hardware in a box as 28nm gear or what's the deal? Edit: HP states Bitfury 55nm for the small machines. So far so good  calm down, be patient, we're hard at work! But seriously the technobit guys are great, and we will continue to with them in the future as well. |

is the AMT website down?
It is, but we're working on getting it back up. We can only thank the assholes that are DDOS attacking us for doing it on Black Friday which allowed us to get a substantial discount on a few new dedicated servers. Great timing DDOS attackers. |

They probably do not have the chips or boards in yet. That's why they don't have pictures of them for you. They will probably post them once they get them in though. And I hope they post a video of one being built or at least tested.
We've posted videos and pictures of chips and boards and comments like this make this thread not worth coming back to. Hold on I'll get some off the shelf! |
|
|
|
And we completely agree with that as well. |

The website cannot open.Is it trickster?I've paid for 1.2T.
Just a hosting company problem, its back up, no worries - no tricks.  |
|
|
|

It's back up.. and we're done with that hosting company. I apologize if anyone incurred any inconvenience or worry due to the website being down for a few hours. We've optimized our hosting, should be fine from this point forward.
