Their website is still down? If it stays down this could be the beginning of the end. Poof they're gone, just like that. They've probably fled the country to their new home on a private island somewhere. 

Works for me.  Website still up.  Forum still up.  Still banned for pointing out the machines are now worthless.  Even if we got them two weeks ago, we'd never see RoI even on 50/250 units.  Prices have plummeted, difficulty has skyrocketed.  Scrypt asics are a dud, as more come out the price of scrypt coins will drop.  Asics are being produced in such large quantities, they make themselves obsolete. 

Think about this: If you buy an asic with a 90 day RoI, and that company sold enough of those to double the difficulty, it's now a 180 day RoI... Now in that 180 day period 5 more companies each come out with their own asics, further trippling the difficulty.  Now you're sitting at a 1.5 year RoI with a steady decrease in profitability VS electricity costs. 

Asics are only a good investment if Very few people buy them.  Anyone buying scypt asics from any company will never make RoI even if you get it same day.  This coming from the guy that just spent $8k on Zues asics 2 weeks ago, and lost $2k on Alpha-tech.  Scrypt ASICs can in no way, shape, or form be a good investment.  Too large of a quantity are being produced.

Give it up guys its over. We have all been swindled. There were many red flags over the months since the preordering began and we all should have seen this coming. I feel bad for anyone that actually sent them the remainder of the money. I've written this off as a total loss as paypal as usual will be useless to help.

Yes, you all probably help some terrorists Cry
I still remember the 7 July 2005 London bombings  Cry Cry Cry

Why after this Dutch website posted on 29/01/2014 this pictures, why you guy still order there?

Clueless!

Funny I find I can post on this thread but it will not let me no matter what follow the thread with the read/unread command
no can I quote when I try to reply to someone's msgs on this alpha thread I get this

An Error Has Occurred!
The post you are trying to quote either does not exist, was deleted, or is no longer viewable by you.


so anyone know WTF is going on or dose alpha have SOME moderator power on this thread and specifically went after

your good old buddy Searing?


so anyway site is down I guess they finally went under..and are now filing for bankruptcy....likely they let the clock
run out on the Internet provider and they pulled the web site

as to paypal try to get a direct line or email to their 'paypal executive committee' it is called may help personal intervention by
a paypal higher ups

come to think of it that is why the alpha site is probably toast ...alpha itself is probably toast with all the complaints and chargebacks

hope I'm wrong

on a side note in case I find I'm locked out of this thread again (so weird only problem I've ever had on bitcointalk and it is this thread)

how many folks in the last month have got a credit card order resolved all the way to payback? As far as I can tell I am the only one who
got AMEX back....

anyone.....it could be because amex has the dispute process and I was one of the first to yell for my 30% back from the credit card company
if so any amex folks with the pending flag on this dispute and if so how many days along are you

or

other cc refunds of note ..post them on here people need some hope

now to figure out why i'm dorked on this thread so I can't follow it anymore nor quote and post on it...just do this reply only deally

if anyone knows if I'm under double secret probation (ie Animal House) please let me know!

Update on my attempt to get a refund on my deposit:

- filed online with paypal...got the automated "outside the 45 day" response

- called paypal...was told to tell my bank to initiate a chargeback and that paypal will then gladly help

- talked to my bank...was told my debit card was only protected for 90 days

- called paypal again and explained the situation...this is where it gets interesting. I was told that my ticket was now escalated. Paypal is monitoring the amount of complaints they're getting and the more they're getting, the faster they will act.

Don't give up. Keep calling paypal until they give you a ticket number!

PayPal is not gonna refund you after 60 days.

Get a other creditcard, 90 days is short!

Oh darn, it seems we will have to write this off as a loss. The only thing left to do is wait and see what actually happens. As hopeless as it looks like, there might be some really really small possibility that, ... there is still hope. There's nothing else to do anyways.

oh sure I can try asking for a refund, but that's also just as likely not to get anywhere.

Will they even get to batch 1? =) hehehe

Never by September.  Even if they started a new tape-out in June that means they won't get to a final mask until the end of Sept.  Fabrication will take another month and then another month for assembly.  But don't worry loyal customers  you will get your miners just in time to heat your homes in December, this is a fact.  And you will get 30% of the company but you only get 30% of the company after all debtors are paid and that is my final word on that.

There will however be cancelled orders, and one possibility with this proposition is to set up our own mining operation immediately after shipment

It should be noted

Well....My worst investment ever...
This may have started as an investment but it turned out to be a mugging. There are no Vipers, no batches, never were. A lot of people here blame themselves for losing their money. You didn't lose it, it was stolen and that is not the same thing as losing money in an investment. I know this because I have had loser investments in solar water heaters, cattle, bull semen, airlines, etc. etc. you name it. Alpha Technology is nothing more that an ongoing conspiracy to defraud. They are still asking for payment for products that do not exist.
And while I'm on the soapbox this morning (Can't farm, waiting for rain to stop) I have to ask of this community - Who is selling their Alpha gear, gear that is known to not exist, on eBay?
Maybe it's Alpha? I would not put it past them to do something underhanded.
My money is very hard earned and I stand to lose a bunch but I can not imagine selling my misery to an unsuspecting buyer to ease my own loss. Legally I will try everything possible to get my money back from Alpha but if all else fails I guess I'll have to take the hit. - M

KNC is a good example of just how long it actually takes to do something right. They reached tapeout when.. June I believe? Then went to the wafering process, and here we are in August they're working on the encapsulation process.

Why people thought AT could start tapeout in May, and deliver in July, is far beyond my comprehension. It just doesn't work that way, and it was pointed out many times. And here AT is again promising September delivery, despite claiming to re-start the whole process at the end of July (though I suspect it may be June). Even for KNC to make delivery of the Titan on schedule will be cutting it close, and this is their 2nd major tapeout/delivery for the year.
