I got forum banned for 3 days after i express my concern that this could be Terrorist funding there evil operations.

One thing is for sure, the timing of the departure of certain individuals couldn't have come worse, with many extremists and monetary supporters heading to those ISIS folks. Many of them everyday college and career people.

Seems your letter is right..

You know, I have, recently, had thoughts not too dissimilar myself. Also, could the hardware be used for something espionage-esq? or is it too far away from that sort of repurposing?

To me that company announcement reads like: Please stop pulling money from me, the company is about to go under.

Yes I agree.  There are so many emotions in the context of that announcement and many of the previous ones.

Begging customers to stop asking for refunds.
Passive aggressive threats
Outright anger
Denial that they are supposed to compete against other businesses

I wonder how this guy can be considered a grown adult.  He shows all the signs of a small child.  I picture him whining, complaining and throwing tantrums to his father about how everyone is out to get him.  He probably has some deep seated mommy issues.  Probably sleeps with a pacifier or blanket at night.



I can confirm: his psychological profile matches the aforementioned description perfectly. It's a pink and yellow binky, to be precise.

Well I have 1 day to respond to their defence. I really have no idea wht to do. If I continue I assume I must show in court? (please confirm) and if so, I cannot so why waste the extra money right?

 Many of you have been helpful, now I am at a deadline and need to know what to do. Sad

I thought you'd done that already. You only have to tick about four boxes in that questionnaire, that was the easy part. I said to PM me if you needed help but its probably too late now. You don't have to attend court, as I said in my original post you can request the case be dealt with in absentia, once a hearing date is set.

Quote
As the claimant, you may not wish to attend the court hearing, for example, if the travel costs of getting to the hearing are higher than your claim merits. In this case, you can write to the court to ask it to deal with the claim in your absence. The letter must arrive at court no later than seven days before the hearing date, and a copy must be sent to the defendant.


Sorry man but it looks like you missed the boat if you have to get those docs to the court by tomorrow.

Avatars are overrated.
My favorite part was their pictures from the 8th's email blast of a computer shell. Like, "Look what we did! We bought a computer case and we are thinking about doing another tape-out... again!" hahaha. Seriously though sorry for all of your losses.  Embarrassed

Before - the 'We will showcase an ASIC prototype in the coming weeks' update:

https://web.archive.org/web/20131106092909/http://alpha-t.net/news


After - the 'We have nothing left' update:

https://forum.alpha-t.net/index.php?topic=952.0


Instead of the recent TL;DR 'Announcement' with all its wheedling, threats and recriminations, how about Mubasher start acting like an adult and provide a plain old honest factual update on the development status of the project, including information about any financial problems the company may be experiencing, a factual explanation of any ASIC production problems they are having or have had, a realistic estimate of the performance, power usage and delivery schedule for the Viper and a statement of sincere regret for any problems customers have experienced ?

Then if he really wanted to show good will towards his customers, he could start by un-banning them (again), restore deleted or moved forum posts and personally address customer's concerns publicly in their forum.

Any finally, he could acknowledge publicly that Alpha-T have missed the commitment Fiaz made, as a company spokesperson, for delivery July 15- July 31..
What? LOL, then we can trust tem again huh? maybe send them some more money - Nah! -M

From Alpha-T Forums:

Greetings Miners,


This is our final final final final word to those who are not happy with us/demanding a refund as such any posts on this topic will be deleted (depending on their context). We are sorry but this post is in everyone’s my interest and is necessary in order to keep the forum from being flooded with unnecessary complaints people wanting their money back: Just as a reminder what has happened since the start: you pre-ordered a product, competitors then arrived on the scene. In order to secure your loyalty money, we increased the hashrate to 90Mh/s which is fair enough was theft of our profits, we then took final payment at 90 (if we were any other company we would have kept add matching hashrates: chances are we would have as we could have stopped at this point, that is a fact lie), we then decided to increase to 250Mh/s despite the fact we didn't need to that the competitors had our asses to the wall by raising hashrates. We delayed and despite the fact our terms give us leeway in this: for the sake and in the interests of our customers shareholders and solvency we still decided to go yet another step further by giving you shares of our company for the rest of its existence without the need for you to spend an extra pennybecause we've already bled you dry or work for us hence there is no catch this is technically something for nothing because we really have nothing else to give in so far as what we are illegally obliged to provide you. All this on top of free shipping for batch 2 and 10% off any future batch if we can get people to buy from us after this fiasco; this is an unprecedented level lack of customer service. We have been crystal clear from the start last time we changed teh terms and conditions with our cancellation policy so why you would order from us if you didn’t agree with it or worse you thought it wasn’t legal is beyond us  you must be idiots. Customers who do not pay in full will of course not receive shares in our company, their orders money will be cancelled seized subject to our latest changes to our cancellation policy; this is the final final final final word on this. And while technically the due date has passed we of course haven’t cancelled anybody’s orders because we will want your money but at a certain point enough is enough. If we were any other company we wouldn’t be having this discussion because we would have delivered on time and not breached the contract, it is what it is, if we may be so bold we have gone above and beyond the call of duty for you in trying to get your remaining 70%; this is a fact. I am sorry it is your perception that you believe you are entitled to more from us getting your miners delivery in July with competitive hashrates however we have nothing left to give and can do nothing more for you. You paid for a 25Mh/s miner and everything on top is goodwill steals from us the profits we wanted to make, this is simply a fact. Thank you for your understanding and we are sorry if this response is blunt a big FU to you diluted customers. We are just proud of our company egos  taking this action as these choices are never easy and it is always tempting to take an easy way out screw you even more, yet here we are doing our best and you can't shouldn't ask for more than that. How many other companies would have gone to these greater lengths to keep your custom and loyalty, after the rollercoaster ride clusterf@$k that has been batch 1? So in short to beat the dead horse some more, we will not allow customers who only pay 30% to join the company you guys suck for not giving us your money and their orders money will be subject to our cancellation policy seized, their 30% cannot be applied to any future batches, products or services from us it is ours to keep. This is the final final final final word on this as such any posts on this will be deleted and the poster will be directed to this post. We are sorry if this sounds harsh to you like us being assholes and thieves but the bottom line is aiming your frustrations at us will change nothing and not help you in any way hence there is no point in it, give up, we are not giving your money back, and you can't make us.. You have paid 30% for a miner which you will never get, nothing has changed regarding this transaction except that we are giving something extra instead of the miners we promised. We would like to say to some people that we are only responding in kind with poor customer service to complaints that are unwarranted so please work with us on this forum constructively in order to help you instead of hostility/nitpicking being assholes like us about things that can’t be helped just for the sake of it your hard earned investments we will get somewhere together and you will be better off for it as we've proven we directly make changes ban you based on your input in this forum; sometimes within hours of us seeing a post. This is just a fact that has obviously not gotten across to everybody yet; our goal and sole intention here is to work with you take your money and make huge profits for ourselves and help you so we humbly arrogantly ask you to help us do that and not hinder us our profits and solvency as you will only be helping screwing yourself; surely this makes more sense. If you have any issues with our stance on this you are welcome to PM this account and someone will get back to ban you; almost all PM’s are read and responded to users banned. If you want to wait until credit cards are up or more ‘proof’ has been released before you pay see this: https://alpha-t.net/news/final-payment/ good feaking luck

Best Regards,

Is it me or has Mubasher completely removed the Archive section of the Alpha forum, deleting all of the old threads? It was there yesterday.

Here's something I just noticed


Yearly Summary: 2014                                   
New Topics: 802    
New Posts: 6567

Now if you look under Forum Stats

4209 Posts in 332 Topics by 1203 Members.

Does this mean Fiaz have deleted 2358 posts, removed 470 topics and banned 88 members since February Shocked Most of those probably happened in the last 3 months.

I've taken screen grabs of the pages showing 322 topics on July 27th to just 9 topics today. Mubasher may think he's being clever by deleting all the old threads but if it ever gets to court this will show Alpha's blatant attempts to cover up what they have been doing. It makes them look pretty shady.

Seems like At got them selves a real fanboy :  "LJcowned"

https://forum.alpha-t.net/index.php?topic=890


In all posts he defending AT, feels bad that Fiaz left and he is super optimistic about this whole share thingy..... Another scary part is that he gets a lot of likes from other customers Oo.......

AT  must have blocked my mails,  they aren't answering at all... All this bs about goodwill was just a lie....

It is probably a fake account but yes some will continue 'to believe' until the bitter end because facing the truth hurts on a lot of levels.

I need some statistics and quotes from the website forum as i am starting to prepare for a hearing that I expect AT to request.

As AT have deleted all the posts and i am banned,it is difficult to obtain in retrospect.

I remember some one posting a few pages back some stats, can you PM me with them and any others you guys have.

Also need quotes of Fiaz promising July 31st as early in the time line as possble.

Also if people have copies of deleted posts or the forum just before they did their big wipe that would be great, i only have the one after the shareholder offer.

thanks Guys!


Have you tried "The way back machine"

  Greetings Miners! After long consideration, lengthy negotiations with our vendors/partners and downright demands being placed from our side in light of competitiveness within the market we have decided to further cut our profit margins and are extraordinary pleased to announce that we will be packing more hash power into your batch 1 devices (whilst scaling power accordingly so not Continue Reading

What is the date today ? August 10 … and counting … 7 weeks to go.

Having spoken to some people experienced in ASIC design, is that it's at least 8-12 weeks from tapeout to delivery of first silicon, and at least another 2-3 weeks will be needed for PCB assembly, testing, shipping between factories, etc.

This means that when they made the announcement of 27 May, they must have already known that their tapeout had failed, and there would be a delay of months for the design to be modified and to go through the full sign-off verification process.

It's quite brazen really. They even had the cheek to ask for final payment in July stating that shipping was on track for July.

The overall project seems catastrophically badly managed. At this point, they should have mechanical samples of the PCBs for testing in the enclosure (same mechanical shape and size, with the same heatsinks, etc.) It's also been nearly 2 weeks since they had the ballout for the ASICs, which means that they should have a completed miner PCB design, in order to ensure that production delays don't compromise manufacture after arrival of the ASICs. They've been making a big song and dance about completing the power distribution PCB design - so I'd have expected the completion of the miner PCB to be being broadcast from the rooftops.

Heck, even the case design shown looks like a joke - there's no way that you'll get 2 kW of silicon cooled in that. Again, they should really have had some test PCBs with dummy loads on, for testing the thermal situation by now.

That sounds like "failure to disclose information" and therefore gaining a pecuniary advantage over their customers who paid. Check out section 3(b) of the Fraud Act 2008.
