Topic: -= Galaxy 1 - ASIC Announcement =- - page 4. (Read 22125 times)

There is something i didn't understand in this thread... Why everybody talks about scam ? What is scammy here ? I don't saw author to force someone to give him his money or something... He said when hardware is ready you can pay and get it so lets just wait some time and see... I think scam is when you pay someone and get nothing...

I also had thoughts about developing ASIC, but still cannot get enough funds to start... So if i have posted thread as an announce i will become scammer ?!?!? I think i didn't get it...

I joined today and am educating myself on groups before I post a loan request. This is all very interesting, thank you.

As far as Max not getting back to you, here is some information you can find out for yourself if you think he is interesting and a wealthy dotcommer/ philanthropist:

Why doesn't he name the internet service he "sold most of yet remains Ceo"? Being CEO is a big position in a company, yet he has time to create a ONE PAGE website that he does name?

http://expertcollector.com/ which only has links to two other sites he "created" or provides the very rudimentary "eCommerce function"? Oh, and launching soon the next Ebay. LOL
www.WorldCoinsOnline.com and www.DavidCoins.com

Go to this page http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/index.jsp to find out where the owner of these sites listed as his address when the URLs where registered. They are all in Brooklyn NY, have no "contact us" on the sites which would make them appear to be more like real businesses.

Just my un-informed opinion, but I doubt he has the accomplishments he acclaims. Other than being Russian.

I do want to point out that the above information is all available publically on the internet. I didn't bother to "google" the names of the guys on the other two websites, but maybe you could learn more by doing so.

Phew, long first ever post. I hope you learn something, at least what you can learn from doing a whois search.

Thanks again, I'm going to learn as much as I can before joining a group.

mumu - don't be mum, please  

1 simple question:  What foundry has a 20 nm process on their roadmap?  When will they start shipping?

Given that Intel is 2 years ahead of the industry and they just started shipping 22nm product, I think you are living in Strawberry Shortcake land.

(The reason I post updates here is because my investors do read this forum, but I would like to worn them that if you identify yourself be prepared to be trolled to tears.)

All-time stinker ISP sells its DSL client base
by nickb Sunday 27-Aug-2000

Long time DSLreports patrons may remember the trails and tribulations of the unfortunate customers of a New York City ISP known as 1Terabit.net. In its heyday 1Terabit jousted here weekly with the "old" Flashcom to wear the crown of "worst/most hated DSL ISP". Headed by a shadowy figure known only as "Max" 1Terabit trumpeted its Tier 1 ISP network and managed to snag quite a few early DSL adopters. Those unlucky folks endured all manner of abuse, from extremely rude customer service to draconian throttling of bandwidth. 1Terabit eventually stopped signing up new customers altogether and faded from the DSL scene. Although, bizarrely, they continued to be listed as a Northpoint partner, until quite recently. A Friday press-release announces that DSLreports darlings Megapath have acquired their remaining DSL customer base, as reported here.

Don't get mad -- get legal. Contact the New York State Attorney
General's Office (120 Broadway, New York, NY 10004) -- Internet Bureau.
Tell them you want to file a complaint on 1terabit inc. They've already
got a pile of documentation from me an inch thick. I encourage anyone
and everyone who got the shaft from Mad Max to complain. It creates an
official government record, and it'll do a lot more than complaining to
the BBB (which I'd also do), since Terabit is -- here's a shocker --
not Better Business Bureau member.
If you've lost money, you also might consider a small claims court
suit, but I decided it wasn't worth my time to chase a few hundred
dollars that, undoubtedly, would be uncollectable from those thieves.
Then again, if I had a judgement that was uncollectable, maybe I could
get the police to sieze and auction their internet hardware to pay my
judgement. What am I bid for a Cisco 2500 router, previously configured
by 'Senior Network Engineer' Max?

all of the above is absolutely correct.
besides, they freely admit they have no idea about anything. they never give
you an installation date. when you ask them 'When will BA come to do the
wiring', they have no idea. "Why does Covad take so long to process the
order?' -- no clue. they should change their name to 'Noidea.net'

How do they have 4 employees? Are you sure? Maybe you
saw 1 food delivery people, one tech from Bell Atlantic
doing some work, and one worker.

Of course, he's the "Founder." He is the senior engineer because
he's the only guy there.

All he is, is a one man shop ISP.

They don't have anything. I knew this guy who went there.
He waited outside forever. No one bothers to get the door.
Then he peaked the "NOC." It was just a room with some
PC's! It was a mess. Cables and garbage strewn all over.
No one could help him. Max wouldn't even talk to him.

Of course. Usually, you'll have T1's or T3's going to MAE or
something.

@Phinnaeus Gage
That was funny. Thanks.

My partner, obfuscated above (I'll refer to him as Wilson Wilson), have secretly been developing ASIC-based Bitcoin encryption devices for over two years. The product is now ready for ordering.

Unlike the other manufacturers, we didn't do the pre-order game, opting to only take bitcoins from bitcoiners via ordering only. Once ordered, you're more than welcome to come to our barn and pick up your equipment, but please PM us first, but not via a PM service that has captchas, for WW and I can't stand them.
