I don't know why these guys don't provide solid proof about the product they want to sell if they are serious, or why they refuse to be transparent. if I were them and I was serious, I'd allow in person payment and pickup, and show a video of who I am and our place of business along with the equipment I intend to sell...
What would constitute SOLID PROOF? Where are they being less than TRANSPARENT? Have you purchased one of these units? If not wait for Ben T. to do a full evaluation of the unit and then you can buy one if it is legit you will see that soon enough. You have been reading the replies from Ntek reps in this thread right? I am all for pile on the scam artists that pop up but there seems to be more than enough evidence that the people at ntek exist have a storefront of sorts and real people operating this project. At some point you just have to wait and let them fall flat or prove it. This is where we are now. I don't see anything here that Ntek is trying cover up or make less than transparent. They have chips in hand. They have a fabricator. They are moving forward. Is it legit? No not until a miner is mining and people get their units. Is it likely a scam. No nothing in what they have said, posted or shown is remotely congruent with scam. In fact quite the opposite. |

Note given the projects I have seen in the past and currently engaged in any PCB production / fabrication may take 3 days to as long as 2 weeks or more just to get all the parts for the boards.The actual fabrication, depending on the schedule of the fabrication company, should be very short possibly a single day at most a week for a production runs this small as Ntek has proposed.
Like I said above 1.5 weeks was really best case even when you have the ASICs in hand there are always a number of hoops. In my experience there are two reasons for this sort of delay. Someone else might already be using the fabrication line you need for your boards, or a few components can't found or are not in stock or it might be, however unlikely, a last minute redesign or upgraded bill of materials and gerbers in order to have a more stable design.
Even when you have everything in place there are always gremlins, delays at the plant so the 17th is pretty good if they can stick to that date. I wish you all the best hoping to see these units soon as well. We do need more builders and NTek might be a decent player in the marketplace if they can ship by the 17th. I would say even before the end of the Month in my opinion would be pretty decent given the time frames from start to end from Ntek's chip order being delivered last week to a finished miner.

There's a rather large Northern VA bitcoin community. A couple meet up groups there. I'm sure one of those guys knows about it if it's legit. I live in VA, but never make it to the meet ups. Too far.

I would not be surprised that this company will not deliver by the 17th. They have nothing to show as of now. Do your own research but companies that are not completely transparent have something to hide. The only company close to having good communication imho is Cointerra and even they have had delay issues. I think it would be too risky to have your funds stuck waiting for hardware to arrive when it could be better deployed elsewhere. Antminer S1 from Bitmain are probably the best value at the moment.

Can you fart out and deliver a better miner?
Anyone can "do" a better website... it is never about the website. Ever!

Here is a recent photo of the nTek TH A1 Bitmine clone mining board with 10-chips  Project is very real and we are in the process of optimizing Cgminer with the hardware. |
