Official Thread: AMT

[Mblackout]

So why has AMT not shipped yet what is the delay.  Still the back-plane ?

[clenell]

Heya,

I have followed this thread for days. First what I thought was somewhat amusing about a possible scam company later seemed to be something premeditated and definitely elegit. I have been evaluating which company to purchase mining equipment from over the last two weeks. Very carefully in fact.

I didn't hear of AMT until I came to this forum. After reading this thread, (not all of it, but lets say about 20-30 pages here and there) I came to the conclusion this company actually exists in America and is actually shipping miners!

I called and left a message and jim (the one and only most famous jim called me back yesterday afternoon. I mentioned to him that I was somewhat doubtful of their delivery situation or even if they had a working miner. Seeming a bit frustrated, he offered to have a Skype call with me. The quality wasn't that great because he was using Skype over his phone, but I could clearly see he was in a lab of some sort, and he showed me a miner they were working on, the 2.4 and showed me the screen with cgminer and it was hashing at about 2.2ish.. He apologized for not having a video up yet and said they are still working on it. He sounded tired.  

He also invited me to the office, was very cordial and polite, and explained that this forum is nothing more than foreign resellers trying to tarnish their reputation. He also said they were late in shipping yes but are in fact shipping currently, he swung the phone around and I saw several guys assembling or what it looked to be building miners. He gave me viable reasons why they were and it all seemed completely understandable.

I placed an order for one 3.2Th yesterday. My Order # is 1603 .

I would like to tell others out there, that out of all the companies I have tried to contact - this company has the worst PR on this forum, and that I suggest you call and speak with the manufacturer directly before placing an order, because (at least in my case or from my point of view) AMT is a young company in America with a good product.

rofl.. i dont know why im having such a hard time believing all this crap. AMT is obviously upset people are not happy with them. instead of doing what they are supposed to and deliver miners they choose to flood this thread with shill posts/accounts. every post is the same... "i have been watching this thread for some time" and then it ends with "the safe bet is AMT".

If people are stupid enough to believe these newbie posts they deserve to lose their money.

Probably the have experienced some "back pain" 
They are ling dude. That is all.

Hey guys,

Anyone got SKYPE? I'd like to talk to a couple of you guys on there at some point.

I know I posted it earlier but only one person responded.

we're going to round up because you can't buy a fraction of a machine. This means that you need 7 Machines to get a little more hashing power than AMT. So while (BTC1.37 * 7 units * $560) = 5370.4 and that is a cheaper initial buy-in

So the Ant is cheaper. Thanks for confirming my facts.

, you and other champions neglect a key factor. (7 units * 360 watts) = 2520, more than twice the projected AMT power consumption (1200 watts).

And you forget the most important factor. Delivery date. Order the Ants and they'll be delivered in a few days. Order AMT, and they may deliver it someday. That delivery date more than makes up for the minor electricity draw difference.

OK, so supposedly this guy DAVE says that he had a skype call with Jim and saw the 3.2TH (or 2.4TH model) hashing.

They have these newer models built out and hashing already, but we can't get a single photo or video of the 1.2TH's hashing.

I'm calling bullshit on this. If it is true, then they are mining with the rigs to make profit.

Remember, one of the first things AMT_Miners said was "We are not miners!" - We should of taken that as the opposite apparently.

They could be testing.   but why are they builing the new 2.4 and 3.2 miner if the thousand 1.2 th miners are still not shipping.  The stories are very conflicting.

everyone has scype what do you have on your mind.

[sirminesalot]

I was thinking it would be an idea to have a video conference, including anyone from here that wanted to chime in.

I'm not sure what there is to be gained from this idea though.

[sirminesalot]

I'm getting sick of hearing "AMT is based out of the USA!!!" - does that shit really even matter anymore? I would take a company based out of China or even the Ukraine at this point, if they took credit card and posted timely updates in a professional manner.

Their owner JOSHUA ZIPKIN (Mr. world traveler from west to east) is all over the 'Balkan Markets' (according to his resumes) - but disregard that! They are based out of the USA!!!!

Just because they are in the U.S, doesn't mean they will deliver on time, at spec, or at all. If anything it's more of a marketing ploy to get $ and trust from those of us in America.

If this is the case, they should've had this installed.

I don't suppose they make one for computers, do they?

Alright, that's snarky. But I hate macs

[Casiriahmine]

MACS are for dumb people or RICH people.

Linux of all flavors is FREE and the same thing as MAC. Anyone who disagrees doesn't do command line or shell scripting.


Hahahaha!


Anyone, my idea was the get a group of us together so we have an idea of what stories are what.

Talking on here keeps us all divided and our ideas separated; a popular tactic used by dictatorships, and cops....Divide and Conquer.

When we are all in a LIVE STREAM conversation or voice call, we can clearly communicate more effectively.

Plus, if we do all get screwed here, we can make this a class action type of presentation.


What do you guys want? Skype? Vent? TeamSpeak?

Let me know, I will work on getting a server up for one of them.

Who was it that wanted to sell their spot in line?

PM me so I can jump to an earlier spot in line if you are giving up your position.

These are my two favorite pics on this whole thread. What's yours, gang?

These 2 pics are puzzling.  What's the point?  they are fully stocked on packaging supplies and ready to ship?

For those still debating:

1. yes AMT is a real company that ships rigs from Havertown, PA.  

2. They resell technobit boards(hex16b in my case), repackaged in Lian Li cases, with an AMT tag on them.  

3.  Quality of parts is great.  at least the boards and chips.  The way they are put together is suspect. Upon delivery, I'd suggest taking a very close look at your rig.  Maybe you will get lucky like Biomech, and it works out of the box.  Or maybe you'll get one like me, or the guy in Florida that got his a few weeks before i did.  Both of ours need some re-working in order to get them mining correctly.  

4.  you will get your rig, eventually.  Will it show up when they said it would?  Highly unlikely.


I still havent quite figured out why my rig restarts cgminer every minute or 2.  I may have to disable the cron jobs, and see what happens when cgminer runs for an hour or two.

Not when you factor in power-supply, labor connecting it all, some form of case... (Last time I checked, they didn't ship with power-supplies.)

Any old 56k modem is also a "phone answering machine"... Some have complex "press button 1 for assistance with _____ " options actually. (Some free software does this with any 56K modem. Has since old packard-bell days. )

They still have a use, after all these years! lol. But google-phone has some nice business options too. Just get a google-number for free, and upgrade it to a business-line with advanced settings. (Buried in the bowels of google itself, but they do exist somewhere in there.)

I got a sweet number.. (You get to pick the number you want, or search for a list of available numbers.) Was like this.. (But not this)... 6565454 (6565)(454) or (656)(5454)

so since the thread is a little slow today I thought I would share a little story.
It's a little off topic but it seems I may owe the group an apoligy.

Last night after I went to bed 2 of my post's were reported to the moderator as off topic and deleted. (most likely by our new friend RWmax)

The 1st was a lighthearted attempt at some constructive criticism on how AMT could improve the quality and content of their photos. Although I did use a dirty word it wasn't meant to offend. I am pretty sure biomech who was referenced in the post knew it was in jest and responded with an lol and a comment that was enough on topic that it did not get deleted. Biomech I want you to know I have nothing but the utmost respect for your even keeled, unbiased nature. You try to treat every one equal and help people feel more comfortable joining in on the conversation. I try to do the same but my social media skills aren't as polished as yours. (maybe someday)
Nothing brings back memories of my youth more then the excitement of a young boy getting to be involved in the opening of a machine that makes money. You probably deserve one of those dad of the year mugs or something.

The 2nd was a comment on a cute little picture of some kangaroos Phineus posted. Being caught up in the comedy this thread has become maybe I narrowly steped on the line there, so, to anyone who was offended by the masturbating kangaroo, my sincerest apologies.

One of the things I can thank amt for is giving me a reason to fallow this thread. I have grown quite fond of most of you on here, even people I didn't really care for at first I have grown to respect them for their knowledge. I am who I am and they are who they are and who the hell am I to judge.

Mr Puppet, (and I mean this in the nicest possible way) when I was lurking way back when I thought you were kind of a pompous ass. probably because of personal denial and some because of your way of trying to get your point across to us non-believers but you did prove to be right and for that I owe you an apology. Plus that dancing cat gif was some funny f#$@%n stuff.

anyway just thought I would share that with everyone. now we can get back on the topic.

Wasn't me! However, I reported RWMAX for flooding the thread with those pictures and in general for just being a raging faggot. First time I've had to do that.

My guess is AMT wants to kill this thread as soon as possible by using AMT Sympathizers (aka Shills) to over post the thread until it's unusable. I'm sure they want to just delete it outright, but that would just make them look even more suspect.

Don't let them win. Stick around Crunch, your common sense is desperately needed here.

[Casiriahmine]

Anyone down for that "conference call" tonight or tomorrow night?

Let me know, and also let me know what way we will be doing this.

I love this forum, very hilarious.
