Isn't waiting just the most fun! Sure its not but it can be made less uncomfortable.
Shame we only have Vaporware to look at until the 31st. Unless Chris got hit by a car/bus/meteor I really can not see what would have prevented him from posting the suggested pictures. Such a simple thing that would not only reassure customers but add credibility to the company and in turn generate more potential customers.
All we have to go on its the fact that it's a VAT registered, limited company and that we have been able to call a guy called Chris (no second name) and he seems nice and professional on the phone.
So for UK customers at least I guess we have placed our "faith" in credit card companies and UK law to protect us.
I if I could pick I would choose the pictures 1000 times over.
Still it is the weekend and no doubt they were all very very busy on Friday I guess Chris could jump in here at any time with tons of prototype/miner porn construction pics and make everyone very happy. Or he could just leave his customers in the dark.
Have to wait and see I guess.
hopefully we'll have more pictures and possibly video of a running prototype - come monday. It's reasonable to think that bitcoinultra staff have all gone home to their families for the weekend. Heck if I'd been working on a mining rig for however long this thing has been in production for, i'd relish my weekends away from work!

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

Taking credit cards is a pretty cast iron guarantee, certainly in the UK we have total protection in the event of non-delivery.

This so looks like a PSU in a box right now. Notice how the end of the cables are the wrong way around compared to a KnC Jupiter. I so want it to be real because of UK electricity costs, but I don't think they have any electronics right now, just a case, fan and a PSU!

Notice how the end of the cables are the wrong way around compared to a KnC Jupiter. show the innards and the fans turning and the hashing and do the "knc shuffle" where you give us more GH then we we're expecting.... (gets popcorn........fuzzy blanket....) let the extravganza begin! Searing

Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:)

Maybe not even a PSU, just some 4pin to pci extension cables sticking out the back that you get with any graphics card these days. And a fan screwed on the inside. I've never seen a PSU with a white fan before.

I've never seen a PSU with a white fan before. t'would be a tad embarrassing for bitcoinultra if this is actually how their factory has built the rig. if the plugs are the wrong way around, I dread to think how the cooling system is configured inside!!!

If I don't see evidence pictures next week going to just call my credit card company and cancel/ and or find out what loophole has been used to screw me.
While I'm at it will need to cancel the card. Got enough problems with possible identity theft from the stolen Gox data.
Chris pics or didn't happen.
So dam annoying I just want to buy a bloody miner from a real company.

It actually says they will not open for preorders until they can guarantee a delivery time. I thought that a bit weaselish right from the beginning, but it does allow them to open a bit earlier than "in hand". I had hoped they weren't hedging, but still, they didn't lie.

Yeah. So far the only company that I am aware of that has always delivered "in hand" equipment is Bitmain. And they certainly are not hurting for business. I would hope that somebody with a better/bigger machne would pick up that gauntlet! Or, lacking that, Bitmain come out with a more efficient higher hashpower machine. There have been hints that they are doing so, but nothing solid that I have seen.

I wanted to support a British company as we have nothing built on our own shores.

AMT claims they are now in the midst of shipping, but there seems no confirmation. Also a shitload of FUD that isn't really being addressed. I got a review unit from them some time ago, based on Technobit boards, and it's a nice little machine. But I gotta see product going to customers before I'll pull the trigger on my limited funds. Plus if they don't ship, my name got mixed up in the deal due to the review unit. Not fun times.

Also tempted to play devil's advocate, I've checked out the website (right click view page source - found tygh_footer amongst other things) and the site is built from http://www.cs-cart.com/The license fee for cs-cart is around $400 per year. If this is a scam then it's more elaborate than any I have ever seen considering the 45 day paypal charge-back possibility and the credit card purchase protection offered in the UK. Unless these methods of payment are suddenly withdrawn after taking a few payments to 'prove' integrity, then I can't see how this would work if it were a scam. The only other risk I can think of is that they might not be able to ship on time... and we all know how that one can pan out...
