Alpha Technology Litecoin (Scrypt) ASIC Miner Order Batch 1 Now!

[alexfgT]

I received the following email from Alpha Technology on November 15, 2014 at 5:50 am PST (GMT-8):

Hello there,

Whilst you are past the refund period we have refunded you your full deposit as a gesture of goodwill. This refund has been issued to your PayPal.

Best Regards,

Alpha Technology Team

They did in fact refund the 30% deposit that I put down on January 4th, 2014.

The only problem is, I paid them the other 70% on May 27th, 2014, which they still owe me. I have sent them multiple emails requesting a 100% refund, which is owed to me by law.

you give your consent to a refund of 30%? or they voluntarily returned to you 30% and 70% did not give

[superdblwide]

I did NOT give consent to a 30% refund, nor did I in anyway indicate to them that the 30% payment would satisfy their obligation to me. In fact, I wrote to them and told them just the opposite. I am entitled to a 100% refund, without question. I intend to collect every cent of what I'm owed.

It's just a few minutes from the end of the workday over there in Manchester, and India's workday is over as well, and still nothing from these guys. The excitement is definitely building up on what they're going to try and sell people next, be it excuse or product.

There he is, our CEO



I can safely say that to know him was to love him. And to love him was to know him. Those who knew him, loved him, while those who did not know him, loved him from afar

are you sure?

class action

Do class action lawsuits even exist in UK?
I always thought of it is a purely american thing.
But there seem to be "representative actions" in UK which are rarely used.
I think lawyers who wanna start "class action" lawsuit in UK are just using the phrase to please customers.

Representative actions in England

The use of the existing representative action framework in England is relatively rare: the court at first instance considered only two cases reported since the introduction of the CPR in 2000. Other forms of collective action have also proved unpopular or unworkable in England.

Group Litigation Order. The primary mechanism is a Group Litigation Order (GLO), but this is a means of managing multiple cases rather than bringing representative claims. Most importantly, it requires the involvement of all the claimants, who must bring individual claims that are then included in the group register and administered together. This precludes the possibility of commencing any form of "opt-out" claim on behalf of a group whose members may fluctuate and cannot be identified by name at the outset.

With only 74 GLOs made over the decade since their introduction, they cannot be said to have changed the litigation landscape. (For background, see feature articles "Cartel damages claims: obtaining redress for loss" and “Competition litigation reform: what next for private enforcement?”.)

Opt-in actions. The other form of English collective action, specific to competition follow-on damages claims, is a representative action brought under section 47B of the Competition Act 1998 (section 47B). This allows a group of consumers to be represented by a body specified by the Secretary of State in actions before the Competition Appeal Tribunal. However, it is an "opt-in" mechanism that still requires the claimants to be named on the claim form.

The difficulties of identifying and contacting potential claimants were evident from the meagre 600 participants in the Consumer Association v JJB Sports PLC case concerning replica football shirts, despite Which?'s belief that around two million consumers were affected (www.practicallaw.com/1-380-9423). Following this case, Which?, the designated body for this type of proceeding, has not shown any further interest in bringing actions under section 47B.

Reform on hold. Against the background of the limited use of the above mechanisms for representative actions, the previous government proposed a reform of representative actions focused on a sectoral approach, with the possibility of opt-in or opt-out group actions being authorised by the court, but limited to sectors specified in legislation.

The Finance Bill (the Bill) was to have been the first step in this direction, introducing the possibility of collective redress for consumers of retail financial products. However, these elements of the Bill were dropped in the "wash up" when the legislation was passed before the last election, and the new government has yet to give any indication of whether such ideas will be resurrected. It seems unlikely to be a priority.

fyi: I am not a law professional and may be totally wrong. Perhaps there are trade agreements between USA and UK that allow US class action to be successful?

So at 250mh/s that is 4 machines per G/hs times 200. That is 800 machines. Are the IP's  from the block chain data coming from the same general location? I presume India? That is the place to check out and take your miners that you paid for.

[dynacoins]

Hi all,
I am in the same boat like you
I was robbed with £1385, by the way I have bad feeling about AT from the beginning, because initially I ordered the bigger viper 250Mh, but a few days later reading different forums I hesitated to pay for this miner, therefore I did second order for two vipers 20Mh and continue to read forums and again I was discourage to pay this money, so finally I did third order for one viper 50Mh and unfortunately I paid this order and now I lost £1385 therefore I want to punish this bastard and send him at least to jail (if he cannot return our money) for fraud in large amount of money. I am reading from few weeks this topic and I have not seen yet or maybe I missed to have some group lawsuit against AT. From my point of view it is not worthy to go alone for £1385, but if we gather 200-300 robbed customers and go together we will split all lawyer fees and we have bigger chance to win. Unfortunately there is a small chance to receive our money back but I am ready to pay $50-100 for lawyer fees in group lawsuit if we have chance this bastard to be sent in jail at least for 15-20 years ..
I do not have any knowledge about UK group lawsuit but I eagerly will take part of it, if I receive any information about starting such lawsuit process. I suppose there are many customers from UK, who are robbed from AT and they can take more action in organizing it, at least they can speak fluent English and can meet locally the lawyers, because it will be hard to me to speak (face to face) with UK lawyers. (My verbal English is not good and I am not living in UK)
Any ideas about this?
Is there something done in this direction or all customers are going alone against AT?

Lol, where are you living. In the UK he might get probation at max, for this kind of crime.

[retro72]

Lol This is the much anticipated update from Alpha T. They "anticipate" mid December delivery. Clowns

so the latest update said the following:
"On that note we are glad to be able to finally announce shipping will be commencing soon however we are still working further to make the devices more efficient. We are very excited about moving forward with you all into the future of this industry so look forward to what will likely be the final batch 1 update very soon."

Any chance we can get some kind of time line for whats left?  Am I looking at a Christmas present from Alpha? Or will it be later?  I mean if we are just waiting for assembly at this point it should be pretty quick... but the post has that catch "we are still working further to make the devices more efficient."  At this point if its working and stable - send it - i will happily settle for my unit now instead of waiting an undefined period of time for a device that may become slightly more efficient... especially if it is truly already the most efficient miner.

We anticipate mid-December.

No LCD, No Wi-Fi. They claim to be the most efficient, "running at 1.5mh per chip", but don't post up power consumption. They appear to have a functional physical product, and are already talking about selling chips in bulk. They're not talking about Batch 2.

They're still working on building these out. If I had to guess, I'd say they might begin shipping in December, but don't be shocked if it's January 2015.

Oh, the best part? They say they're giving out refunds to those who ask. I suggest you all take photos of his words before they change.

[FreeJack2k2]

I love how they claim that they're "offering refunds" despite the "refund period" being over...when this was supposed to ship no later than the end of September and they've missed that mark by a mile and a half and the "refunds" they are offering involve them keeping 70% of your money, if you paid in full.

These guys need to go down.

[vesperwillow]

I'm a fan of their late 90's rack server case styling. I mean, why have the aluminum design with a quiet radiator up front, with an LCD bezel and full wi-fi capabilities--that folks paid for--when you can have a black steel case with noisy fans?

[alexfgT]

All these pictures are made to take 70% of the remaining money to you ... all of this could just be a hoax.

[giboon29]

Heh now 100% sure they start mining  on vipers .   Mumba will pay huge ammount for court fees ...

[duniek]

I was in topic from 1 to 140 page
but i was tired  of bullshit of greetings miners

Looks like they're filing for a tax extension. You can ask in advance for a 90 day extension as long as you do it before your taxes are due. This will allow them to go bankrupt without having to file taxes? Who knows what these jokers are up to. You certainly can't believe anything they say. That's been demonstrated over and over again. I'm not surprised by this.

[Meanotor]

Yeah now they are locked in Jail.

Like that piece of shit Josh from BFL saying that the miners as long as they are in BFL's hold is not the customer's property so they can't claim these have been used to benefit BFL. Well fucktard:
1) The government thinks otherwise, AND:
2) The customers already paid for the junk equipment that you sell so it is already the customers' equipment, you're manufacturing to order for all pre-orders not like a department store.

AT can be sued for loss of profit.

I agree, but the burden of proof, that they actually used the miners is up to you.
