Oh look, somebody knows how to use Mental Ray.

FYI, the link to your FB Page appears to be broken, at least I simply get redirected to my regular newsfeed.

Other than that, highly skeptical but watching.

Thanks.

Skepticism is to be expected hence the escrow.

When the time comes nearer I am more then willing to travel to your premises at my expense to verify your hardware, chat with you etc. I'm based in the Midlands.

We will be hosting a set of open days in London, Berlin, Shenzen and the Bay area once the first batch of the test shuttle comes through.

Good luck, I hope everything goes smoothly for you.

Cheers

Thats such a small device...


Heat wont be an issue? 

Not with our magic flux capacitor . All in time my friend. Basic technical specs will be on the second post soon.

I am assuming most product companies do as well. Will add a note though to clarify it's a product concept.

And when do you expect that to be?

Since you're covering the NRE you must be a well-capitalized group. How much is your NRE cost? >$5 million? Do you have a loan to cover this, angels, or is it cash in-hand?

You have job openings listed, have you ever produced an ASIC before yourself?

Why do you think you can ship by December? Do you have any agreements in place with manufacturers and chip fabs?

Thats such a small device...

With all the ASIC scams out there, be careful with flip answers like this. Could backfire. I'd suggest either going with a general answer or saying you're playing that close to your chest for now, tech specs to come. Keep it professional is what I'm saying. This kind of answer seems evasive and dismissive, makes me question your professionalism too, which is strange considering you claim to be covering the NRE which indicates a high level of seriousness in this endeavor.

You are correct, that answer did seem a bit out of place. Have to apologies for that, but please understand that we will be only able to release most the details once we are ready to launch. Mainly for competitive reasons but I am able to inform you that the team does have experience in the semiconductor industry and we are working with a reliable design house that is familiar with the process of our first ASIC design.

As I mentioned above, all in time. This thread is just a placeholder to inform the community that there will be an alternative supplier in the market soon.

This thread is almost useless, as it provides only pipe-dreams, sketchy renderings and  out of thin-air cost estimations.
I think you need something more solid to attract potential investors.

My sixth sense keeps on telling me to avoid this, but i'm open to be proven wrong, with more solid informations.

I am all  for this setup because they have an open day/house in different cities, they cover their own NRE, their hash rate is the cheapest in this industry and take orders when they have stocks coming in or available. 2 factors that they need is Time and Costs.

But where are the chip specs, design informations, etc. ? I think that we've seen too many scams on this forum to do the same mistakes all over again.
The only good thing so far is that they are not taking orders without stock IMO.

They will surely update their website with photos, specs and even video very soon.

A little background on the founder:

I am all about transparency but it seems like you ought to research more before you start slandering people around.

The only thing that can be confirmed above is my name, facebook & company name and registered address. Not sure how the rest has any connection to my name especially the ebay address and those usernames... There are quite a lot of people with a similar name but why bother anyways...

Nevertheless, all that matters is Q.E.D.

So you deny all of these?  I assure you there are solid connections between all of those accounts, usernames and companies.  I didn't just search for your name and come up with all of these.  You have weaved quite the web over the years.  I don't take lightly to people with a bit of web development and marketing experience attempting to rip off the bitcoin community.

Must be from a jealous competitor, Terrahash.. I thought some are calling Terrahash a scam as well? It is natural in this business world, back stabbing and sabotaging your business when they saw that you could offer $12 per gh/s that may killed off their business, they are naturally scare, ya. But I am sure Asic Chip are dirt cheap and made things affordable is the naturally way to go, not those greedy guys and middlemen!!

I don't work for Terrahash nor do I have any relation to them other having placed an order with them.  Which I will be cancelling by the way if they don't give an update in the next few days.

Would love to see how you connected me to all these random usernames. Accusations like this is the reason we are only accepting escrow payments. Calling a Mining hardware supplier a potential scammer on this forum is reasonable but there has to be some evidence to accompany it. Otherwise you're on my ignore list.

Post picture of a black guy .... that'll scare 'em.

This is actually quite comical since looking at almost every post you have made so far on this forum is doing exactly this to other potential or current hardware companies such as KnC, ASICMiner and BFL.  Even referencing $12/GH as the spot hardware manuf. need to be in some posts before this thread was even started.  Looks to me like the pot is calling the kettle black.

So sick of people advertising vaporware. Its the same story from everyone.

"We have this amazing mining product but just one catch. It doesn't exist yet. Give us your money and we will build it for you."

When is someone going to start acting like a real business and deliver a product they have actually made and can deliver?

Wild wild west.

[FCTaiChi]

They haven't asked for anything yet, and say that when they do it will be in escrow form.  Nothing to complain about.
