Anybody who lost money should get a good lawyer and try to file a lawsuit. Maybe it is possible to track them down, if they were not careful with hiding their IPs (which I doubt). It's worth a try, though.

And what are they gonna tell the lawyer? That they gave their money to an anonymous forum account?

You will be paying more in lawyer's fee than anything else

Well if you guys don't hear something about tracking numbers next week and people starting to get FPGA's then I think we can get out the hammer and nails for the coffin. Not looking too hopeful right now for anyone who sent money to the OP. I hope you hear something this next week and start to get what you ordered.

I already said bye bye to it.
The fact that they deleted everything from youtube including the channel itself and the pictures on mega.co.nz plateform is enough for me.
I gave it up to this week end just out of principle but it's more wishfull thinking than anything else.
We got fucked, plain and simple and didn't read the writing on the wall.

Well, waiting for my real FPGA BCU1525 in August to have some fun

I was hoping this was real and we'd have a lot of innovative fpga based products coming to market.

Are you thinking that product specifications of 7 kH / s 10 W are possible? Roll Eyes

They hadn't yet posted specs when I merit'd them. It's not impossible, but the numbers are a little too good. Could have been a case of overly optimistic performance/power estimates.

There is a scenario where this doesn't turn out to be a complete and utter scam. They had some type of board. The problem with the YouTube video was that it stopped/started every so many seconds, which led me to think that this board was not functioning as fast as claimed for any prolonged period of time. Maybe it ran for 90 seconds and then crashed, over and over, and they didn't have the know how to solve the problem.

Maybe they followed the Vorrick funding method where you collect [other people's] money up front, figure out how to build your ASIC afterwards, and then deliver something... eventually.

It's possible they took the money, they hired or will hire someone who knows what they are doing, they will eventually pay the PCB manufacturer, they will take delivery of the boards, test the hell out of all of them for, oh, three weeks or so and then deliver out of the blue when no one expects it.

Blame the delay on the "Chinese LunarShot Monkey-Dog festival," or some such tripe.

I give that outcome <10% probability, but maybe.

That part in bold I have pondered in my head too.

Saying, your theory is correct ..he likely just got a hobby hacked FPGA board that was common in 2013 and prettied it up some....and again faked the

screen shots....that indeed would make sense on his pictures IMHO....(these were old FPGA card for mining BTC back before butterfly labs and Avalon and

ASIC'S for BTC.

I'll give it a 1% probability... No more posting from OP here, no response on email, everything is deleted beside this thread...

so what does it mean...?

Most likely 7 BTC was sold through a private exchanger. And now they are on his wallet.
There is no problem hodling in the original wallet. And it would have been more secretive.

I am a little surprised the OP went dark so fast. I expected a little bit of foreplay and maybe milk the late comers with the, we have good news and first batch is arriving and things look good... Opening up batch 2, but quantities will be very limited...

I mean he could have really milked this for another 30-50% more. Few more days and the picture should be crystal clear.

Luckily this is a very cheap scheme, what with the free trial website etc. They could have roped a few more victims in if they had some shills post tracking, pictures, etc but apparently that was not budgeted for.

You are right he could have easily milked this if there had been a few players to help spin the story of shipped, received, and working miners... Lots of ways to really have cleaned house. I guess we should be thankful that he wasn't that well organized.

Exactly my thought, I assumed he would keep on active with the thread for 3 more weeks. And play along with fake avatar boosting confidence on his legitimacy

ok will do, my first online job

edit: i searched it but there is no address

Meh, if You couldn't find it two pages back, I doubt You will finish this but nevertheless:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.40924340

https://blockchain.info/address/3LJUoipysSk5TtgweFf3S3NkT1YRU1x4Vi

ok we see he paid with two separate payments the fpga

https://blockchain.info/tx/6105dc39111090820690af7f538cd03b3014993901e924222d71af46e55d7f57

here the transactions out from that address.
there are still 0.04100114 BTC on that address , so he didnt send all the coin to an exchange or to shapeshift i found only an address( https://blockchain.info/address/3FLH9DFsvC8tGFbChxHVBnfAyLhHaM6SeE ) coming out from the transactions that has balance 7 btc but this cant say anything

so what does it mean...?

Your faith touches my heartstrings. I'll put you down for the "pre-order" list for the Mk. III model when that is, uh, announced under a different thread. :-)

Please give me your BTC address, i'm ready to send you 3 BTC right now without any proof
