This is a great idea. People need to know the truth about AMT, not just what they want you to think.

Joshua Zipkin likes to delete posts. Shows you what level of confidence he has in himself and his business.

Should of had a user moderated thread from day 1.

[YourPalToots]

Let the other thread die and just post here. They will have no choice but to pay attention. I'm taking their control away as of now.

From the Bitmine thread:

We're working hardly on it, the power density is so high that it makes engineering very challenging and we want it to hit 3TH/s. Next week we'll get the final run of the rig's mainboard (had to be re-engineered 3 times) and we should be announcing the mass production by then. I would like to point out that the rig's hashing unit's are working and are being already produced, the issue is only related to the mainboard which is a much simpler board and as such can be produced very quickly once the prototype is fixed.

So not 100% sure what 'mainboard' is meant here, but if they mean its the backplane... then a fix is on its way.

Also from that thread...  looks like they have an upgrade of the firmware.

AMT miners work with different settings than the coincraft miners. While their firmware MIGHT work, its not a guarantee. Its one of those at your own risk situations.....but then the DIY kits are kind of that already.

Here's the reality though,  it has been over 2 months since the promised delivery date and all we have are DIY kits (with missing parts in my case)!

Of course but also as real is the fact that unless this is checked out first before just installing, it could cause whats left of the miner to burst into flames if things like voltage settings and such are not taken into account when powering it up. Alot can go wrong with an untested version of software. That said, I did see you asked about AMT hardware. So if the answer is positive there then maybe its doable. Hopefully they reply with a good answer on that.

I did ask their support that I had an AMT system and needed a backplane.  They said they would ship me one.

So clearly from Bitmine's perspective,  AMT systems appear to be identical from the backplane interface.   Now since the chips are all the same.... it is likely that the Firmware should work too.

Hopefully they sending me the latest version of the Bitmine backplane.

At this time, for those who have miners from AMT,  we need to start building a relationship with Bitmine since it is highly likely that AMT will not be around in the future.

I don't think its all tied up in flawed hardware. Remember, they already said that they didn't purchase enough power supplies. Which means they didn't even use our money to even buy the components that they should have bought months and months ago! If the thought process was "well we want to get the prototype up first" , then they would not have bought all the power supplies, cases, cages, backplanes, etc. So they would have money to return.

Also, if they did have all the parts, they should have shipped all the kits quickly ! After all they said that the only missing piece was the power supply!

I paid via wire transfer and AMT has already stated they don't "keep" bitcoins but change it to USD immediately. So the deflation of BTC should not have hurt them.

They probably used our money to buy new houses, cars and partied with the rest.

I agree completely. They are buying parts to finish these miners on a one-off basis. Now we're supposed to believe that all the hold-ups were due to PSU's being unavailable/sold out? Pfffft! What a joke, they should have bought X amount of PSU's late last year after X amount of people pre-ordered miners. Just another lie brought to you by Joshua Zipkin.

Example: If 5 people threaten lawsuit, AMT buys 5 PSU's, scrambles to put the 5 miners together, and send them out. As for the rest of 'non-complaints', well that's money in Joshua's pocket. They will likely never see their miner. As for the rest of you fools opting for "DIY KITS" that are lacking PSU's, cables and who knows what else - congratulations, that's more free money for Joshua that he would've had to use on buying more parts to complete these miners.

Not to mention the $160 shipping upgrades that were paid as well. I can tell they really used that $160 upsale on shipping to package and expedite these miners (sarcasm).

They never bought all the hardware needed to plan on fulfilling X amount of miners ordered, because they never PLANNED on fulfilling all orders.

This is called being a thief.

I have to agree with you here.  The lack of planning is obvious.

AMT seems to react only when there is a complaint lauched.   Otherwise, they will ignore their customer until they start making noise.  Notice how we keep on seeing new folks arriving in this thread asking what happened to their order.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL AMT USERS THREAD. THIS IS CREATED BY USERS THAT ARE NOT ACTUAL CLIENTS.

From this point forward AMT will not be discussing any company issues, giving any company updates, or providing any support on this forum. AMT recognizes some forum members have tried to and will continue to try to speak on behalf of AMT and we urge customers to simply not listen. We will be launching a support forum via our website which can be found at http://advancedminers.com/forums 

Our goal is to deliver miners to existing customers and get to the point where we issue full refunds to our clients despite receiving a miner or not. Any opinionated comments from any past clients or non-clientele, allegations, conspiracy theories, rumors, "investigative reports" are most likely fabricated exploits designed to defer new clients from purchasing from AMT. As there are several from this forum ,please realize these individuals do not and never have spoken on our behalf.

We simply don't find this forum to be a valuable tool for helping and supporting our current customer base and due to all the antisemitic, prejudice and racist allegations that are constantly made about our company and our staff, it is no longer a pleasant environment to be apart of. Our true clients that need support understand what we're talking about and we're happy to support them via our thread which we will populate with helpful tutorials and information everyday going forward. Other clients that need immediate technical support can contact sales@advancedminers.com and you'll receive a reply within 24 hours.

We can only hope that our true clients and supporters will see passed the layers of crap to come going forward.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

DID ANY ONE GET THE PI TO RECOGNIZE THE BOARDS ?

when you plug it in and go through the pi type killall cgminer then type cgminer -DT better if done through putty should come up with a load of info. if it dosent recognise any boards yo may need to check your backplabe is connected correctly.  if it sees boards you should be good to go. head into the amt 192.168.1.xxx and click the save and restart cgminer. may need to do it a coup[le of times but it should start mining

and make sure that little (floppy drive?) power connector is plugged in to the backplane. There's a pic of that further back.

Does anyone have a connection diagram or do customers all have to discover this on their own?

Man.... these AMT folks are the worst.

Finally got home from vacation.

I got my shipment on Friday.  Took some photos:



Anyway... was going to to test each individual board to see if some of them were okay.

Unfortunately, AMT DID NOT BOTHER TO SEND ME A BACKPLANE!

So very interesting.  AMT claims to not have time to respond to their own emails, however they have time to notice this newly created users thread.

Your machine doesn't hash?  Maybe instead of an order list we should have another list that shows which clients don't have a hashing machine.

updates?

Frictionlesscoin is a client of AMT:
 

Carlos also filed a claim with deleware and requested a refund. After resolving the issue with Carlos and Deleware by shipping his miner. He now claims that he is missing a backplane.

We've created a fedex tracking number for now the 2nd backplane that we'll be sending to Carlos.

Carlos is valued customer of AMT and we are very happy tom have him. We'll update this shortly with the fedex tracking number to Carlos's house.

I'm a client and here are pictures of my damaged miner.

Missing screws caused the blades to bang around during shipping.

I claimed two weeks ago that I did not have a backplane.

Josh said he would ship it last Monday,  I have not seen it yet.

Jim said he would ship it last week,  I have not seen it yet.

You still owe be an extended back plane, an extra board.

I still have with at least two damaged boards from shipment.

I have yet to receive any instructions on how to wire this together.

Does it matter that you respond?  AMT does not respond to email.

Further,  AMT has deleted a lot of posts about the state of the miners.
