That is because AMT's PCBs are filled with gun powder and children's tears.

I'm really kicking my self in not going with Bitmain.

I think everyone should probably just file individual lawsuits against zipkin. He likely won't show up. he didn't even show up to an event he already paid for. We know he likes to waste money.

if nothing a sting of judgments against him will look terrible, then we can all go in together in hiring a firm to recover our debt from him. it might saves us some money in the end that way.

^^ I'd guess that they paid for their sponsorship earlier in the year like they did the Las Vegas show.
Wonder if they will show up?

And on the BITMAIN s4's - In BITMAIN's response to the matter, aside from their perfect handling of the PSU issue, ya gotta love their answer to concerns on any possible fire: "at high temperatures may result in some smoke from the PCB and thermal pad, it will not start a fire. All internal components of the PSU meet the requirements of the UL94-V0 flame retardancy standard, which certifies that any ignition will self-extinguish within a maximum of 10 seconds."

Very safe bet that AMT cannot make any such assurances.

I thought this was interesting. AMT claims they have no money...or they do, hard to tell as that changes post by post. BUT I think they do have money. Because well to be a sponsor, you kinda need money to sponsor someone.

They are on the list. I am guessing insidebitcoins is in the business of endorsing shady companies? Wonder why they are on the list still.

In that vein, I thought it would be worth noting what else DOESN'T exist from AMT....



Their news page...the internets tells the news. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=amtminers also try http://lmgtfy.com/?q=amt+miners



I LOLED f-ing hard at the stock when I saw it. I called up a friend of mine to confirm. BUT he is the white dude in the right of the picture. He is Canadian (that is as much detail as I will give). He posed for this stock photo pic 10 years ago. His hair has greyed a bit since this pic. But we had some lols over it.
For the words on the page.....I will let others have fun with it. (Oh and he does not work for AMT, none of these people do, they just posed for a nice stock photo). That photo is also definitely not AMT offices either. Personally I think AMT offices consist of a Dexter-like kill room where they murder their detractors after inviting them down to their offices to "chat".






As for what these pages ultimately mean for anyone looking




Hey Josh still planning on having a "chat" (verbatim with quotes as you used) with me? aka murder? that is how I am taking it since that is what you have stated you will do to anyone who speaks out against you.....let it be known if I suddenly stop posting here, chances are he sent a Bulgarian hitman to take me out. I know he won't have the balls to do it himself.  

no one in their right mind would buy an AMT miner. im still not even sure they exist.

I wanna sell these crappy miner for what ever price is just taking up space 1.2 n 2 boards .  give a total of 1.5

Remember, we INVESTED in his company, Joshua Zipkin has already said as much, he or his authorized stooge (since he would have to sign off on such a statement), in one of the previous posts. Fact is this is not the first time he stiffs people on payment. So we are dealing with a company WE invested in and only got back hardware that only resembles an $899 product as in many cases for many people the product arrived incomplete or with various defects. As of now NOONE is reporting a miner consistently hashing at 1.27ths or even close to that as reported in the UI. By contrast if you use a bitmain (or any other miner) you will see that the ratio miner to pool hash rates are in tune, with a slight lag time in hashrate reporting. The deltas between the has rates are extremely small. As in the 10s of Ghs vs nearly half a THs difference (400Ths on average delta with AMT miners and pool reporting)

Fact is this qualifies squarely as investment fraud. We invested in his R&D by Joshua Zipkin or his authorized stooge, made that statement. On top of that he seems to pick and choose playing favorites as he has. That again will look might interesting once regulators get involved. And apparently its coming. Broader announcements have been made, so it looks like the hammer is coming down on alot of companies at once.

Still worth looking at anyway just in case. It still is a possibility, but I did not see anything myself. And something like that to hide would be sophisticated and likely out of the reach of this particular manufacturer's resources and reach. Still someone could look again and see if I missed something.

Sorry if it was a false alarm.  However, note that the attack I described above does not generate spurious internet packets and does not depend on a second pool.  The only external symptom, most of the time, would be a loss of performance.  The theft of resources would be visible at the internet level only once every six successfully mined blocks, by that block having a different address in the coinbase transaction.

To make sure that the attack is not happening, one should monitor the attempts that are sent to the ASIC rig by the mining software.

And lest anyone forget, Joshua Zipkin does threaten people and plots their deaths. First rate example below. No joking no nothing. He clearly is serious. This was against Bruno of course since the obvious references to what he posts reveals that much.
Taking a page from Gleb Gamow's BFL tactic (thanks for the inpiration) to make it easier for law enforcement to find the posts with the information needed. Since he claims all this shit is made up, let's see what law enforcement does when they look at his skype logs on the microsoft side that he cant erase?

FYI, I took a look at the miners. I powered up the one I have configured (I am keeping one unmodified and unpowered for now as evidence later if needed as it wont make me any money now either way anyway)
I ran a packet inspector against it, and detected nothing outside the ordinary. There is no second mining code as far as I could tell no other pools were being contacted. It is a shitty miner is all. So it is just performing way under spec. Someone else was going to look at the php code and see if they are faking the 1.27Ths constant as that makes NO sense in light of the actual hash rate reported on all the pools we mine on.

Honestly thought I would feel better if a second pair of eyes took a look at this and validated my findings. Just because I did not does not means someone else won't.

FTFY, if he was first rate, we would not even know we got robbed, and he would not have gotten caught out there. The difference here is he has not been dealt with by the justice system.....YET.
Kinda like pirates in the older days, black beard and all them. The shitty ones are the ones we know of, because they got caught. The good ones are the ones we never heard of and lived out their lives.

i wouldnt put anything past this slimy jewish fuck. Josh Zipkin is a first rate thief and con artist.

On top of everything else he as done would that be a shock? Again want to be clear it's still a maybe. We still have to check that it actually is the case. This was not something I had considered, I will have more info on this later today. I will run the miner for a few minutes and run a packet sniffer and check router traffic to see what the deal is there.

Many years ago, a colleague here was a asked by the police to help them crack the password of a custom-made bookkeeping computer that they had seized from an illegal gambling site.  He just dumped and disassembled the binary, then, intead of trying to deduce the password or looking for the places that called the password-checking routine, he just changed a one-byte opcode in the latter, so that it would accept any password except the correct one.

May be fun doing the same to the AMT binary, perhaps.

I just downloaded the new image. Will burn it shortly. Thx again for the help

and don't need to format... The image is just that - an image of the entire logical structure of the storage media formatting and all. When you burn the image to a device that's all you need to do. It's ready to go.

Use the image I just uploaded last night. That one has an IP of 192.168.1.59. That will work.

OK, I've downloaded your image, found a windows machine and burned the image to a newly formatted 8gig SD card. I used the formatting tool from sd org and I did and full overwrite format.

I inserted the SD card into the RasPi and fired up the machine. All fans spin up, blade lights blink green. Only one light on RasPi turns on. The internet light on the RasPi still does not light up. I've tried several cat5 cables that are known to work. I've inserted this SD card into a known working RasPi and no internet connection there either. I've used Angry IP to scan the network for IP addresses and nothing beyond the usual machines. I've also tried to plug directly from the laptop to the RasPi via ethernet ( as I did initially with my ant miners ) to no response.

any help will be appreciated. thx guys.
