From the standpoint of architecture and basic engineering, I find it borderline sci-fi to be reducing the physical footprint of the thermal space by 80%, increasing the density of chips, maintaining the same hashrate, all while reducing the power usage. Can you even do the math on the efficiency factor for that? A+B = Astonishing, that's what it is.
For this to be legit, would be groundbreaking. Not saying it's not legit.. but it was at least realistic during the preorder stage when the system was a full-height case. Kindof hard to believe at this point without so much as a technical drawing..

Your over you are is common grammar mistake in UK.
Sorry, but it is no mistake and it is you who needs to correct his grammar. He said "Hey I can't really answer your questions" which is correct, he is not saying "You're" or "you" as that would not make any sense at all. In this instance he used to correct wording.I am also looking forward to fiaz answering a few of these questions put forth by crazyearner. Especially the one mentioning visiting the premises of your business.

Pre Funding
We would like to double clarify, this is a pre funding project. This product is NOT in stock, shipping is expected to take a minimum of 6 months. Where funds are used to fully design & manufacture your ordered devices.

Only a 30% deposit required and hopefully the BTC/LTC price will be much higher when the full payment is required.

I really hope this enterprise fails. Asics would ruin scrypt coin mining, like they ruined bitcoin mining.
I wonder if this sentiment is why there's so much mud slinging in this thread. Some posters seem sincere in their scam fighting, while for most it seems like a blatant attempt to make Alpha T look bad.
Those supporting PoS feel the opposite I'm sure.

Thank you for the information.
I think one of your first priorities right now should be to improve communitation and show that you are not scamming people.
From my point of view answering the following questions would really help, among a lot more questions which people has asked here before:
1. Updated Proof of work of the asic scrypts. Photos, videos, real working scrypts in pools, true tests which people can easily verify.
2. Photos and videos of the company, photos of all employeers, more detailed personal information of employers and other companies involved in the project. If you look at Space X company, they (Elong Musk) have a really nice way of communicating with people with a lot of interviews and videos online.
3. Adding a forum in your site will help to ask a lot of questions.

We need what is best for the currency, network, technology, etc. and NOT what is most profitable for the miners (of which I am one!)
Leave the "It's about ME" sign at the door, and take part in the largest social experiment in our history.
May what is strongest and most anti-fragile win, that will serve the people the best,
And don't forget,
Its about sharing

This may fail. The others may fail. But at least one of them will succeed. You have to accept that eventuality. It's not a question of if, it's a question of when.

I rolled the dice. The bet is, will we win or lose? Or something in between? Only time will tell.

I'm very optimistic and liking how this is going so far, I'm just glad I pre-ordered and not listened to the trolls. The Scrypt market is going to be big in 2014-2015 and getting first dips on ASIC hardware will be a massive advantage.
Another fool easily parted with his money.
Judging by your previous hateful and rude comments on this board, you're kind of a dick. Why so much hate?

you, your, you're ..whatever. what difference does it make if there's no answer..
Couldn't agree more, people being pedantic over trivial matters. Lets keep this on the subject of asic scrypt miners, not the do's and don'ts of the english language.

What I find odd is their ability to achieve the density to put 5x the density of chips into a 1U server. I can't imaging the temperature problems at that density and the ability to dissipate heat. I think they will have a high failure rate.
Hey there, we have optimized our ASIC RTL design in such a way that we will be able to achieve higher performance with a very low number of chips, thus the density of chips per machine will be significantly reduced.
Additionally we have optimized the power consumption extensively. The chip packaging has also been designed in such a way that thermal dissipation will be spread over a larger area, besides that we also plan to have heat sinks with sufficient fins so that a larger surface area is created so as to dissipate heat more efficiently.
Fiaz.
It seems that if you reduced the size of the design on a 25Mhs unit so much then what is the 5Mhs unit still a 1U unit. It seems you should be able to reduce the size of the 5MHs unit as well. Otherwise it seems a waste of space (1U). Will you provide the ability to expand the 5MHs units by adding more cards to it?
Also a lot of your specifications are very linear. You are just increasing the 25Mhs unit by a multiple of 5 over the 5Mhs unit. Do you have more realistic metrics?
What is your expected failure rate on the 28nm production. Leaping straight into 28nm without proving your design at 65nm seems like a huge risk and if it is not vetting I'm expecting that if you have high failure rates that it will delay shipping. What is your warranty period and will it compensate for manufacturing defects? What is the expected turnaround time for RMAing defects. As LTC difficulty rises due to the deployment of these units will you compensate buyers for the downtime due to these RMAs?

We have never mentioned an ''alpha server'' and have no plans for anything similar to this.
