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!

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

Has anyone been able to start any proceedings in UK against alpha?

Wonder if they actually developed a scrypt asic. I made the mistake of paying them for 1x 250mh/s unit with Bitcoin 
Probably going to say Goodbye to that 5k.

Yes i'm aware of how my post seems but under no circumstances i said to just let the money go. I was interested more in some opinions regarding what can i do if i accept their offer (they refund 132 pounds ) but also want the rest of my money. Are there any other means to recover the difference because it seems that if i agree to this i would waive my right to get a full refund on my deposit
Is this true? If you accept the 50% refund, you have no legal right to claim the rest? So basically you need to not accept anything and go to a small claims court, and hope they side with you?
They can only claim a settlement and release if you agree to that. Further, it can only be accord and satisfaction if the negotiable instrument used is clearly marked as such.
In other words, since they are royal fuck ups, I doubt they'll even do things right to prevent you from going after them for the remainder (though it will weaken your case in front of a judge because it does seem like you agreed to their settlement terms in the dispute). Legally speaking though you can take some money and then go after them for the rest as long as you didn't formally settle and release them and you didn't engage in accord and satisfaction (google terms if needed).
the normal method is to quote "in full and final settlement" on any agreed amount in the UK. Then it is over for both parties.

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..

BOINC which is compatible with Scrypt hardware doesn't only do SETI work. They also crunch number related to cancer research. Plus many other projects that I've forgotten the names of. Other crypto miner manufacturer's are pointing out this fact as well.
Link please...
Because Gridcoin is not doing SETI proof of work. It is doing gridcoin crypto proof of work.
What you are saying is a dishwasher is baking a pizza. Need proof. Need links.

They are blocking everyone who want´s to call them by phone.
They removed the phone number from there Website.

this is an unprecedented level of customer service.

lol most companies actually ship the damn product. that's the customer service people expect.Best Regards,

Most companies don't ban you from their customer support forums. They might delete a post they don't like, but not a ban. That's the equivalent of blocking you from calling their phone support because they didn't like your voice.

Greetings Miners,
You paid for a 25Mh/s miner and everything on top is goodwill, this is simply a fact.

These guys sound like they are getting ready to re-label somebody else's 25mhs miner (GAW Falcon @ $599 ?) and ship it to you and then claim they met the letter of their contract.

You can't argue with crazy, "that is a fact!". 
Sorry, had to.

Now for those who are worried about the argument that these machines can mine crypto-currencies for profit, they can also be used with BOINC to help SETI look for alien life. You can choose to use it for this purpose in your arguments.
Enticing theory but... that argument just doesn't hold water, sadly. It's like saying my dishwasher can bake a pizza.
What is the defense then? Simple.
The purpose of this device was to use first batch Vipers on an offline Litecoin network in to gauge performance of the device and credibility of the company while doing individual research on high-speed Scrypt algorithm hashing being employed on various crypto-currencies available in the real world.
Sure it makes perfect sense. I once had every computer (over 50 CPUS) at my company crunch SETI numbers while employees were at home. You get points for submitting work. Either way, If I had a Viper I would probably play around just to see if I could make it do SETI work. My point is that there are other legitimate uses for it besides crytpos. That is a fact, not a theory.
