so this is a scam??

nobody knows surely..
I think it is just very high game from devs..
they are risking our money and betting on our low intellingence..
otherwise I dont understand why would anyone put their money into such crap with so uncertain delivery, not cheap at all and not overwhelmingly powerfull..
it could be good if it would be available today in some local shop, but with such long waiting time.. useless.. waste of money..

Why are you even buying that shit???
By the time it will be shipped, diff will be so high that scrypt mining will be death at this speeds..
new GPU algo will be popular at that time and this funny ASICS wont be able to mine it..lol

Just called The Bike Shop. The business next door. Gentleman tells me that the Alpha Technology retail space has been empty for "ages". And just about 3 weeks ago, they've put up a new sign board. No one is currently there. He also said his phone has been ringing constantly for the past few days with people asking the same questions.

How about that?

Have to admire these guys, they have done a wonderful job of extracting money from people with more money than sense.

Document: AD01 - Change of registered office address
REGISTERED OFFICE CHANGED ON 29/12/2013 FROM
64 DICKENSON ROAD
MANCHESTER
M14 5HF
Filed on: 29 Dec 2013

these guys are far gone with your money

The 64 address is the accounting firm next door owned by the family. 66 is the new Alpha store front also owned by them. The father and the son's share the same first and last names, but different middle names. One son and father are accountants, while the other son is an electrical engineer. The father was born in 1948, hence the guy in the news article you are presenting is NOT him, nor is it one of his sons! Just to get that straight.

I also wonder if their final product (if it comes true) will be an actual ASIC or just an FPGA.

pretty sure this is it, just a little bit further down the road: http://goo.gl/maps/wZx8J

lol come on, and there should be enough room to run such a "promised" company?

if they just do administrative work there and building the miners in china or wherever it would make sense but.. there must be still some storage room to deliver to the customers or testing the products before delivering..

that "house" on this street is not even big enough to run a bakery Cheesy

Are there any good threads worth reading about actual Scrypt ASICs? I read most of the thread from jasinlee (maybe spelled wrong - sorry) about his very amazing experiment with creating a Scrypt FPGA and his findings did not sound very positive to me... then a few months later someone has developed a Scrypt ASIC? Yeah, sounds like they took this guys information and ran with it to create a scam. Maybe next year they deliver an ASIC and it is indeed amazing, but no one gets their ROI except this company. That is reason enough for me to stay far, far away from this.

Good luck to ya all, though.

The office space indeed looks a bit dodgy but of course this is the "bricks and mortar" portion in the UK...I cant really blame Alpha for not spending a ton of overhead in a high end area to properly register.

The most critical aspect of the development is the technology which is obviously in India. Dexcel certainly appears legit. As already mentioned in this thread, I think it's important to carefully consider the DATA that Alpha and Dexcel have produced to date, two parts in particular 1) proof of concept publication and 2) prototype video.

I am not capable of peer-reviewing Dexcel's concept paper, "Implementation and Analysis of Scrypt Algorithm in FPGA (Proof of concept)" (link below) but for those who have read and understand it, is the physics, math and code feasible? And as for the video, I did not quite understand what the dude was showing on the screenshot. Is anyone familiar enough with hardware to comment on the board and setup?

I guess what I'm getting at is can anyone explain or comment on the feasibility of these two bits of data? Huh

Looks like a real solid storefront! What could possibly go wrong?

if you check street view there is no match on windows and gutter. so it is suspicious. also no real image of the product.

i recently lost hope, that there soon will be scrypt asics. after digging deeper of those 3-5 companys, the all seemed fishy to me. Cry

Lol Im local and know the area well so decided to pay them a visit....there was no one there and the office is a dingy shop front...I know that there was a dodgy international college here a while back who ran scams for students for visas etc so could be the same people trying there hand in cryptos?

Maybe these guys will turn out to be legit but something doesnt smell right to me.....

PS I'll be going past in the next few days a few times so will get a snap of the shopfront in its finest glory...the heavy rain over last few days seems to have taken its toll on the guttering Cheesy

That doesn't sound very promising. If it is a scam they really put a lot into it.

They didn't really put a lot into it if it's a scam. A few posts on twitter, a shop front sign, and a shitty website. They just announced the pre-orders btw, and as expected, their website is down. This is probably the third time it's happened. Doesn't give a whole lot of good feeling....

Also, apparently this was a family business that was an accounting company or something... pretty nice re-branding...

Hey guys whats the status on this. I got a lot of google alerts on their product and it seems like they may be accepting pre-orders. Their website is not allowing it but I think if someone called them or emailed them they could arrange a pre-order.
