Let's make a list of valid questions that need to be answered then.
Instead of crying scam without cause.
A late refund doesn't make it a scam. That's retarded, come on. If they are scamming they should also send out refunds. If I where a scammer I wouldn't stop accepting orders and I would refund people immediately.
I'm tired of people simply stating again that things don't feel right and saying they have questions... Are these questions already answered and are you just unhappy with the answers?
A lot I information is in the updates.

Yeah the guy logs in, posts about being all into litecoin mining, specifically alpha, then he hops over to talk about how he refunded his order without issue.
That's odd. Not saying it's a reason to think the company is scamming, but that one user post is odd..

6 days!
Still No Refund despite their singular '24hrs' email.... which came on thursday...
I requested a refund on SUNDAY. THE SAME DAY ORDERS WENT LIVE....not possible to request earlier than OPEN DAY!!!
now im wondering if the 'refunded guys' were actually shills putting us at 'ease' while they shut up shop....

Looks like you are right. This guy here looks rather sock-puppety to me, especially given his post history of 3 counts, which almost exclusively defend or praise 'Alpha'.
You got scammed.
the refund for my preorder has been cleared by paypal.
guys, be patient if you are waiting for refund. it takes time.

I went ahead and flagged alpha-t with cautionary trust. There's just too many questions that need to be answered.
I respect the role you have on this board. Please elaborate. What questions exactly ?
Several of us, myself included, have asked questions. No response. All they've done on here and elsewhere is provide news updates, and extended their preorder window.
I *want* to preorder, but something doesn't feel right.

Just took the plunge, ordered the 5MH unit, not cause its gonna make bank, but because if they turn out to be legit, I'm sure they will offer first dibs to the first loyal clients and I want my shot at Gen2 Alphas!
Order number 9XxX
Order number 9XxX
One of the better arguments for sending them your coins in my eyes.
Still - its a punt!
Good luck!
Lets be blunt, we all saw what happened with Avalon and whats a few grand to someone who got his coins @10-20$ and is still HODLING
You bought BTC at $10-$20? How many did you pick up?
A handful!

Why someone in his normal mind should buy or pre-order something in development? i did send a lot of e-mails to ASIC company's like BFL and KnC and they just can't meet up inside theyr fabric or want your BTC as payment method and never release "IN TIME" unless this kind of trade dissapear i'll never invest any money in something that i can just trade in daily basis and get more profit than buying a overvaluated hardware that even existed... i had to say. By the way, BFL adress looks suspicious, not only BFL but every fucking ASIC milacrous company in the Cryptocoin market looks amazingly suspicius in every fucking way of bussiness...

wtf someone jumping the ship? damn but thanks for holding our hands and making me feel better tonight when I sleepWhy you have to be mad? unless you are an Alpha Tech shill you should have no problem with that. Alpha hasn't responded to a lot of allegations on this forum, they just ignored everything and posted their "update"
How CAN they respond to the allegation of being scammers ?
"We're not scammers" ?
It's not fair to ask someone to prove a negative. I think they answered everything that needs answering right now.
What more do you need to know ? More technical details will be shared as soon as they come I light.
What allegations are you talking about ? I found everything I need to know in their updates.

GPU that you buy now, you can sell for at least 50% in 6 months,
When/if miners arrive, they have limited time to mine in unknown difficulty that may never ROI and you can throw them in the garbage..

You have no idea what you're talking about do you? $7,000 KNC equipment was selling for over a month for $40,000+
It was BTC case, we look into scrypt-coins now. Can you definitely predict the future? Also, any used SHA256 Asic miner isn't worth it's price now.
Of course, there are still some nuubs that gonna buy stuff that will never paid off...
Nobody can predict the future, so why are folks predicting it by saying scrypt asic is worthless because of possible difficulty increases??? If anything that IS the reason to get into scrypt asic.. the electrical bill will kill your GPU eventually.
The difficulty scenarios are different in scrypt than sha, mainly because of power AND supply/demand. Most any engineer can come up with sha256 Asic, they have been popping up everywhere. Scrypt is different, which is one reason why GPU's have held the market so long: They're already designed and made in bulk and readily attainable. IF difficulty were to rise significantly, it would be because of increased GPU mining right now, which would deplete the quarterly shipment of available GPUs.
It's far more self regulating than sha.
Not only difficulty issues can endanger mining business, there are many variables such BTC price, law restrictions, new algorithms propagation etc.
Of course it's everyone's own decision. Mine is to wait for GDDR6 GPU's and see.

A $10,000 Scrypt miner with such efficient power factor, would sell for quite a premium.
Besides that, if difficulty DOES rise over the next year, GPU demand will rise even more, and their production isn't increasing (according to AMD), therefore it'll be EVEN HARDER to buy GPUs--therefore having one of these would be advantageous.
Consequently difficulty won't rise as much as people think. Mathematically it can't based on supply which is dwindling.
