Have you really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like ?
Yeah, between the conspiracy theory approach and the broken translations, I had to re-read that particular post a few times as well.
I guess what he was
trying to say was:
1. Taras only removed the EMIC listing because OP said something.
2. It was only removed because OP's listing was removed.
3. Because it wasn't removed before... I don't know what, exactly. I'm sure there was a point he was trying to make.
Point 1 is entirely at odds with the earlier claim that we'd never remove them because payola or something.
Point 2 is a non sequitur; Taras already mentioned that he decided to remove it due to not having shipped hardware (and I already mentioned I'd be looking at Achilles Labs when I work my way down to that). That may be a soft policy change - perhaps listings were allowed to exist for pre-order unproven hardware before, giving companies the benefit of the doubt. That policy change, insofar as it being one, would affect every listing equally.
Point 3 was more-or-less already answered. It's not Taras's day job to keep an eye on that page and police it, nor is it mine - plus I haven't been on the wiki for much longer than this whole ordeal. The wiki is public and relies, in part, on the public's participation. Sometimes that means
a scam entry gets removed right quick, and other times it means an entry lingers longer because whoever's viewing it hasn't seen anything untoward about it. In fact, the EMIC entry was the last modification to that page before OP added his entry, and apparently OP did not see fit to remove it either. Why not? Probably because OP really couldn't care less or perhaps didn't even look at it - and that's probably true for most visitors.
That said, there is something to Point 1: it highlighted the need for the community to be more vigilant of the wiki as well. I'll peek in from time to time, but it really would be nice to have more (reputable) users there. But that's a discussion for the Meta section
Now, as much as I enjoy the back-and-forth about wiki editing, I agree with the last few posts that are about the hardware and invite BitHashMiner to
A. prove themselves to the community now, or
B. let the thread lay dormant until the chips from the Chinese manufacturer have arrived and then post some shots of those chips and board designs they're supposed to go onto, or
C. let it wither away further into April when the 2,000u/month claims should be rather easy to solidify.
Then you can say "I told you we were legitimate, aren't you sad you didn't buy when you had the chance?" and make all of us eat crow
