Topic: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive Manufacturer Trustworthiness Guide [1st Feb 2016] - page 16. (Read 131506 times)

Added score colorings to the first half of the list. Let me know if you like it or if it gives you eye aids. I'll revert or add to the rest of the list depending on feedback in a bit.

ST is due to go up to 100 next time if they follow through [depending when the cycle ends.]

I think for the most part it looks alright, but of course Avalon being higher than SP-Tech just does not seem right to me. Last time I checked SP-Tech never screwed over half the miners on these boards  . Anyways Dogie keep up the good work on this and the guides and have a good holidays.

Added historical score graphs to give a better idea of momentum. It also highlights quite well the process of an infraction, and then the company being forced to build up reputation again (ie Bitmain and ASICMiner). Click on the graph for 4K/full screen version.

For this resource? $-XX probably.

51 Pages. You've been putting in work Dogie! If you broke down all your time I wonder what it would equate to per hour.

Updated criteria with explanations.

I dare you to provide the answer!

I dare you to use my link!

That is one of the problems. They were a huge consumer ASIC company, they are now a huge ASIC company and they do sell into the marketplace - you've just got to have big pockets. They've also not done anything wrong, so their rating is where it should be. They have an ethics infraction for farm mining, but I don't see it as useful to penalise companies significantly for doing that.

What a consumer needs to know is if what they order is going to arrive at all, on time and as described. Having a farm somewhere isn't going to interrupt that process, and may in fact strengthen it by making the company more financially resilient. "Damn, someone burnt down our factory. Luckily we have a second revenue stream so can rebuild and make these orders right."

tldr, its hard to impose strong penalties just for farm mining. And Bitfury hasn't done anything wrong, they are a big player in the industry and you just need deep pockets to access that.


No one gets an FF any more because information on farm size is hard to get with all the pomposity and secrecy. Western companies want to show off their farms as validation for investers, Eastern companies want to show off their farms in secret as validation for customers. And what is the cut-off for a large farm over a 'not large' farm?

feel free to use the link in my sig to checkout if you manage to get them to split the payment method

Hey All,

I've asked a couple of places, even emailed Spondoolies: can the website handle payment for a single order split between USD and BTC? If not, is there a special procedure I need to use?

If you have a referral link and I decide to purchase, I'm more than willing to use it.

Thanks so much!

Apology.

I Love it! and no, im not Rawdawg just using my old meme of him, but im so buying into this! pre-order of a pre-order! Yo Dawg!


and thats why coms are 10 out of 10

No, you can buy as many as you want.

Edit: This way, Dogie's Mix ranking on pre-order for us will be justify  

I love this a company making a joke out of something.  Got a laugh never saw this before.

Is there a limit on these?

For you, we still have the following in our store:

If you're not RawDog, I apologise in advance.

*Gasp* so you are testing on animals! :O

Right, i re-read the last few pages, i was positive you're asking why you are lower then bitfury, and they only get a -2 only on their ethics from self mining.. i guess an apology is in order for biting your butt over your old pre-orders, i'll still raise my nose and say better not do it again with the SP107 and SP12..

and yeah, no idea what dogies plans are on the F and old FF score, going to change the scoring? make sure its so unfair that anyone looking at a farm gets a -100, yep yep.

Please read the last few pages here. The FF was discussed and the fact that we won't take pre-orders on our 3rd gen and why.
Testing on animals wasn't discuss.

Ah, i missed that F thing, fare enough.

i don't know what dogie thinks is the diffrence between  "F = Operates own mining farm" and "FF = Operates own large mining farm"

and no more pre-orders left for you, fare enough..

did you finalize the pre-orders last month or 2? that maybe why you still have that score, its past tense.
your score has increase since last time, so i wouldn’t complain, be better then the others, you will rise above them.

Question is, next lot of hardware you make, or you going to advertise and take orders before final construction? (aka pre-orders), or are you going to build a stock and sell them there and then?

Hell, at least you haven’t tested your miners on animals!

on the other hand, you could just ignore this whole thing and run your business without even consolidating this list, Test the miners on animals, sell everyone a bit of paper with "I O U MINER" on it, ignore everyone’s problems and sell the crappiest chunks of scrap, then call yourself the best company, and run off with everyone’s money till the feds come after you!

tl:dr, it was the preorders that wrecked your score and BitFury is on the way down
