Cancellation policy sucks. Information looks ok if they can get their "ASICs" cheap in bulk An FPGA is NOT an ASIC . FPGA = Field Programmable Gate Array (CAN DO ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN PROGRAM ON IT) ASIC = Application Specific Integraded Circuit (ONE FUNCTION OPTIMIZED)

So did I - decided it made sense as well to pull the trigger on this one - too bad their estimates push these devices out to July 2014 before delivery. Go on trollers...give us your worst

Has anyone actually contacted Dexcel Designs to confirm their alleged partnership?

Has anyone actually contacted Dexcel Designs to confirm their alleged partnership? Why not just look on their website and see it as news before asking? Come on people, it is getting crazy with the hate here.

Come on people, it is getting crazy with the hate here. I apologize, you're right. It was the very first article in their scrolling news frame though and I must've missed it. Anyway, it's not hatred, just plain scepticism. A £405 deposit for the 5 MH/s is not an amount I can really afford to spare in case this thing turns awry.

If you can't just throw away this money DONT MAKE A PREORDER FFS Come on, there is a big chance for a total loss with one of these, never mess with things you can't afford. If you have money and want a real product, build gpu rigs.

At least we don't have to put the full 1350 pounds down. So hopefully they have a working unit before final payment! I actually wouldn't have put the whole amount down, just too much of a chance. I've been bit by BOTH Avalon and BFL, but got a refund from the former.

So if you get tired of waiting after nine months pass, you're screwed. If they even are around to give refunds at that time. The policy isn't even legal, anywhere that I can tell, but people keep giving them money.

As I've said before, this is a special experiment to take part in. If the owners are genuine (and time will tell), we are behind them and we go in this together. Also, substantial progress has been made with ASIC's, so even though they are applying it to LTC, we have some history helping us out now.

I have read (can't remember where if I find the link I will put here) that GDDR6 is coming out in 2014 and one GPU with GDDR 6 on should be able to hash at about 2M/Hash +/- 10% for the cost of a 280x today, so I might skip on the first ASICs until they bring out a faster ones for the same value (like BFL with the 600G/hash cards for the same value as 100 a year ago) and that will allow me to see if it is a scam or not.
And I can spend my money on more GPUS for the time being XD to make money now to add up to more GPUs to add up to more and more, I could probs turn my 10GPU rig into about a 50 GPU rig and pay for itself a few times over before the ASICs even hit (25+M/hash total for the 50 card rig) which will be the same as the ASIC but pay for itself a lot quicker. The ASIC will probs pay for itself but for now I think GPU mining until they hit will be the best for miners as they can continue to make money and make more before it hits rather than having money tied up into a nearly non-esictent company which never replies to emails.
Just my 2 cents.

So, tel me if I'm wrong: 1- There is no especific agenda or schedule to deliver the equipment. 2- The difficulty Mh/s is potentially growing on Litecoin. so The equipment devalues each month acording to it's performance/income. so if the dificultty average increases 15% a month and the equipment arrives in about 9 months, probably people buy a peace of junk (the hardware don't pay itself in the further months, and, further more, the simple work will be a loss). Conclusion: it's a 3D high-risck That's the way I think but I wish I'm wrong to those already spend their money on this (supposed) hardware.
