i'm lost. how trustworthy is this project
Use Google and your common sense by looking for what the founders did in the past. Why would you trust someone here to tell you if this project is trustworthy?
and why does their website kind of suck as of the moment.
anyone who can clue me in on actual current situation
They don't have a website (ASICMINER, the other ASIC-based mining operation doesn't have one either). What you refer to may be the exchange on which shares of 100TH can be traded.
If you care about bells and whistles to establish trust, you are in for a severe disappointment. For example several nicer-looking websites have been hacked and lost the assets of their users in the past.
sure, but.... marhsall islands!?
i assume there's been stuff that's been happening where someone can update on the current situation. i'm not expecting a great site but there's a big difference between a site a 13 year old makes and one that someone making asics should commission (some degree of professionalism can't hurt)
