Wow, not to troll but this world is crowded by desperate greedy people
Possibly you got scammed for 300k pounds, it's incredible what you can achieve with a few imagines damn
Good luck with your preorders

Thanks for the link, Kramble.

Reading all those updates from Alpha T actually took a lot of my suspicions away. If they're scammers, they are scammers who sound like they've actually studied electrical engeneering.

I believe they actually plan to deliver. If they are ABLE too remains to be seen, but I have faith in their intentions. And I've put m money where my mouth is.

Go Alpha T !!

The forum is pretty lively. Quite a lot of hating/boosting going on, but some useful discussion too.

Thanks for the info. I knew it was only a fraction of orders but not sure how much. All the hating going on here really took away from things, but at the same time understandable. Hopefully Alpha Technology starts to post here. Not sure why they wouldn't as other manufacturers have posted on the forum and Alpha Technology STARTED this thread!

Do you have a link to the other forum discussion?

Thx,

They'll need a lot more than that for development. The NRE for the mask set alone will be around $5million. But Sy has estimated total orders of 30GH/s on the litecointalk forum, which is 6000 5MH/s units (equivalent), or around 50,000 ASIC chips, so it looks like its going to be a profitable venture. Just FYI, trying not to be a hater. 

It looks like Alpha Technology is doing allright, even with all the fear and loathing going on here.
If this website is at all accurate (and note this is a fraction of orders placed) the numbers look good. They have their "funding": http://alphat.emux.fr/
Near 300,000 Pounds raised with close to a million pounds on the books. (And remember, this aren't all the orders). WOW!!!



 

thats a point has anyone checked out Dextel and if legit what is their take on alpha-t which supposedly they are getting chips made for?

er an to previous posts on getting stuck i paid via paypal and cc amex so i should? be covered at least the 1st 30days if not 45 days ...unless others can tell me otherwise?

Searing

+1

Given the amount of interest, and from the orders on this unofficial orders list http://alphat.emux.fr/ I would imagine they are very busy managing orders and processing them all. So far they have been quite forthcoming with their plans. Consider these guys as a start up on the forefront of new technology

So what they have an office next to their dad's business, Steve Jobs started Apple from his dad's garage

I'm not surprised they haven't shown up, this isn't a reflection on the last post, just a general observation of this thread, but why on earth should they return here given the nature of the abuse, scandalous accusations, finger pointing, name calling... Well the list goes on.

For all the trolls on this forum, the vast majority of us here are adults, who like me probably run businesses, where on occasion we speculate to accumulate, it's the old risk versus reward scenario. I for one am willing to take the risk. I've done my research, I can see past the office picture, at least they have one - the vast majority of scams run from bedrooms, why bother. This isn't a manufacturing facility it's a presence, nothing more, nothing less.

This is a crowd funding exercise with legitimate partners, and hell why not. What's to stop any of you with a decent idea trying the same ? Probably a lack of balls and vision.


Let them get on with it. If you don't get an answer to a question then so what, half of the questions I see on here the information is readily available or can be purchased, if you don't have the few pounds to purchase this yourself then you shouldn't be here in the first place.

Oh yeah, i for one won't be responding to any bs claims made on here either, bothered !

Good luck to you all, whichever path you take.

I'll find a way.. hahaha


The fact myself and others asked them questions through official channels, and through here, and they went without notice isn't just random paranoia, it's outright rude when you're opening a business and isn't a great way to form relationships. They started from this and the litecoin forum, and are ignoring them suddenly right after preorder opening. Even after closing, nothing.

Not saying it's reason to jump ship, but it sure as heck isn't a reason to place an order.

Ah yes, paranoia

Maybe they're too busy to search for every mention of their name and reply ? Or maybe they have a policy right now against engaging critics and trolls until they have some positive results to share ?

Lack of communication doesn't prove try are scammers. If it does, please explain that reasoning to me.  

Who paid and got refunded in BTC?

@vesper, if you don't buy, and I do, I'm going to be the whale miner. hehehe. (if they deliver.)

I was going to place a large order, and maybe I'll kick myself later for not doing it, but it just didn't jive with me, something didn't fit.

One thing which didn't help, they're ignoring all of their own threads across forums. That's truly odd. Unless they're relying solely on the newsletter pump they've been doing, but still, why ignore forums where you originally were "born" from?

What I would like to see to make me feel better about my order is this : a bit more background info on the Akram brothers and father to lend their company some credibility.

They must be getting a lot of cancellations maybe?! Their reply to my cancellation was short and sweet with 5 words saying refund completed, nothing else.

I just wanted to share my experience with Alpha-T.  I ordered a 5mh viper model  on the day pre orders were announced.  After reading through here, I decided to cancel my order and get a refund.  I emailed them about 3 hours ago.  I just got my refund and an email stating that they promise I will be back as a happy customer and explaining that they have a strong relationship w their partners and they are well established. 

Take it w a grain of salt, maybe they are the real deal 

That means little.

If they really are scammers, they wouldn't stop taking orders now , would they ?

Don't trust random posters so much either. People here have no qualms at all to make others look bad just to profit themselves.
Or Alpha is slow in replying in some cases.

Spotty service doesn't make them scammers. We only have partial, unreliable information and no solid evidence for a quality product or a scam.

All we have is speculation. Therefore : we have to wait and see.

I'm worried about the conflicting reports, some say no refunds and no response and some say instant response and refund.

However Alpha hasn't shown up around here in the last days.

Sucks for everyone who bought into this scam. I hope you can get some of your money back.

Oh so true, with all the information available from the past 2 years.  Look at the HashFast thread with lots of old members.

They are rich and easily afford the loss.  I still get a chuckle from reading the posts.
