So it wasn't my paranoia Smiley.

Perhaps those ScryptASIC shares should be renamed to ScryptFPGA and the owner should agree with some script fpga developers (like beekeper or the other guys on litecoin.net) for supporting their research with the raised funds. This would be a good solution for this awkward situation. Everybody would be able to make money and a working scrypt fpga with a reasonable hash rate would be a great breakthrough for the community as well.

Just a few months ago CaptChadd was flat broke and had to borrow fractions of BTC which he had trouble paying back. Now he has developed an ASIC for Scrypt? Seems really fishy.

Just to let you know, I am developing no hardware at all.

This thread has my explanation.

Wallet.dat, what are you doing with my trust feedback on here?

You have just put a scammer feedback on my account on here, now I am -5?

Why do that?

I am not pumping any share prices, I just bought 10, that's it.

I have already explained myself and my role.

Hello wallet.dat, please remove the negative rating for CaptChadd.

I think he's telling the truth. If he isn't, time will tell but I think it's too early for a negative rating anyway, nobody got scammed and his explanation (in the scam accusation topic) is sufficient for now.

I just got an email back from them, they have added a forum section now to answer any questions, of which I have loads.

They even have a project running of a miner that can mine scrypt but then with a push of a button mine SHA-256.

This could be just a wind up but if it true this could change a lot of things.

I mean if that wanted to scam, wouldn't they be asking for money right now?

I am tempted to throw some Bitcoins at it and see what happens, its only Bitcoins a few Bitcoins after all.

I would never have believed that SHA ASIC's would see the light of day but they have.

I think a lot of people have been in the background working hard and maybe SAI is full of it but I have a feeling others will follow, even if they fail to deliver.

Just a matter if time.

A Scrypt ASIC chip cannot just magically switch to SHA and vice versa, this company is telling porky pies, don't send them any money. Bitcoins are valuable why waste them on something as unprofessional and scammy as this dog and pony show.

I have been watching this for a while now. They have updated post now and it explains a little bit more but they are really holding their cards to there chest.

I would like to see a newletter signup section added though.

If there was a buy button on there already I would say 100% scam and stay well away but they seem to be holding off right now.

I'm going to go for it but only order one when batch number 1 opens up. Nothing to lose other that a few Bitcoin. Better than my 25GH's BFL miner that I have yet to see.

I contacted these guys a few days ago, didn't feel like joining their forum until I think about making an order.

They emailed back saying that the 50,000 KH/s might be an overestimation due to size constrictions. I guess they want the unit as small as they can get it, reminds me a little of BFL with unit size.

I asked if they are not releasing something a little smaller and they said one was in the works.

I guess only time will tell but still they are not even asking for any money or pre orders, I take that as a good sign,

Well, take it how you will but they are now listed on cryptostocks.com

I will buy like 1 share just for the hell of it :-)

Well I bought 10 of them, as I think I could make a profit off just the shares alone.

Not really bothered with the actual website/company/organisation or whatever they are.

Then again, I have loads of shares in most of the projects on cryptostocks, so this is just an extra one for me.

Any new users reading this, don't invest what you cannot afford to lose.

I did comment on one of there posts on there.

As for my photo, no-one had better been using it anywhere else.

I chose to use my real photo for a reason.

It looks to me like you actually made that posting, not just a comment on it. Anyway I've taken some screenshots in case anything is changed.

http://scryptasic.org/?p=64

I am glad that you did.

I have emailed them, the image I have on here is linked to my gravatar, so I have not a clue how they would get it.

I have changed my gravatar email and password just in case.

And I can say right now, I did not make that post or having an connection to that site other than owning 10 shares on Cryptostocks. Besides, I have to busy running Extremecoin and getting services to mess about with a little wordpress site like they have.

That was a very quick response to your email. The photo has now changed to a placeholder image. Impressive customer service.

No they have not responded to my email yet. I just changed my email address to a different one on gravatar and changed the password.

A blank image now means it is pointing to nothing.

They need to get there own reputation and stop trying to piggyback on others.

If they don't email me soon to explain, then they can stick their 10 shares.

Wallet.dat is a new user and so I am not sure where he is getting his flat broke information from.

I have never been broke and Cryptocurrency has only ever been a hobby, which I have said multiple times.

You are now trying so hard to find negative information about me, you are not even quoting facts anymore.

Did anyone require more evidence than the "Unit 1 Miner" link on scryptasic.org?

I believe they have made their money back with sales on CryptoStocks already so at any point we should see either a disappearance or requests for BTC for orders.
