There is no contrition in Dogie.
He is right no matter the facts presented to him. Zero compromise.
That is the biggest issue.
The next biggest issue has been the hijacking of the entire Hardware section with his reviews and support posts in a effort to bolster his business. Which is something we are aware of and many have pointed out for sometime now. And now it is just plain obvious to most everyone his ratings are bias based on that business model he has created.
Don't expect corrections or any resolution to this he will continue down his own path to destruction not that it matters I can't see there being a hardware section this time next year when all hardware will be sold B2B anyhow or not at all as in the case of a KnC or others his guide has little or no impact on the current miner sales and it will only diminish over time. At that point he will morph again into some other area of the forum or out of BTC altogether doing the same sort pseudo pr for someone in the guise of product reviews.
Again TECHNOBIT scores are pure fantasy and have been for over 2 years.

Customer e-mail address: [email protected] Im still waiting for this order since day 4 of this month!!!!!
to replace one burned your fast to send 3 new your slow....
order THIFVNNBU
please send them or ill give up on you guys and asked for a refund
one thing for sure i was going to buy more 3 this end of the month and give up on you guys
Your sending is out, later you'll get tracking in your account
Marto when will you actually ship my 8 replacement boards, the ones that you supposedly would ship 2 weeks ago but never did? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Your 8 ones are already @ speedy warehouse
expect tracking on PM later today or tomorrow morning
Still nothing, again, just like when you said 6 weeks ago, and 2 weeks ago, and 3 days ago, when they "were already at Speedy station". And in the meantime another board dead, and 1 shows no leds anymore.
Technobit Up to 10 week delays in shipment of some customers Minion Group Buy Units.
The hurt / delays continue for some customers of Technobit who have paid substantial amounts for miners over 10 weeks ago.
I agree with scrappy here, Batch 1 should of been sent out by now. reading the thread its totally unprofessional sending out small orders first.
i see some people waiting 10 weeks now for there order to be shipped out and nothing. Seems people with large orders are getting shafted.
I think compensation is due MARTO!!!!
People have been patient with you since you had a problem with the boards, but this now seems to be resolved.
So what exactly is going on??
i do not what to take legal action as BFL are facing and now KNC miner, marto.
You really havent provided any updates to people with large orders on the forum at all.
Please provide a clear update on what is going on and when everyone's orders are going to be fulfilled and compensation package.
with have been patient, but you have taken are patience for granted now.
There is seriously something wrong with this thread. Folks Martin has yet to deliver batch one yet we have 3 confirmed cases of him shipping batch 2. He says "small orders" Fuck that shit. Mine may have been large and paid in fiat. I have as of to date received 6 of 50, and Marto has promised 6 shipping dates and only sent once!
Guys, enough of the bullshit.
I paid in fiat for a flat conversion, have been lied to about shipping, and seen batch 2 orders go out before mine. Check the thread, I was in page 2 and traded in 2 x3's and paid in fiat. I know I am not alone here as I have spoke to many of you in pm's. Enough with the BS, bring it.
scrappy do, dam so shipments are just trickling out. i would of thought at least batch 1 would of been completed by now
I haven't received a single one of my 88 boards. My chips have been at technobit since July 17th.
Marto any news when batch 2 will be shipped, its been over a month now since you received my chips. ive emailed you on your site, 2 weeks ago and no reply.
would like to know whats happening with those.
you going to be offering any compensation for late deliveries now. awaiting 25 boards
and counting
No offense Guyver, but he hasn't even shipped batch one out. Hopefully he will not ship out anymore batch 2 like the mistake made last week. I just got my first partial shipment today 6 of 50. I know its been over a month for you and I hate it, but it has been over 10 weeks for some of us.
We are working and as soon is ready will be out.
...but we keep hearing this same reply over and over from you. I've heard this same thing at least 6 times now from you. Can you tell us what is holding up your shipping? At first it was because of the MCU, then when that was fixed it was because you were testing the completed boards but what is holding you up now??
Edit: ...And of course, no response from Marto when asked the 'tough' questions... This is ridiculous.
If so many mcus are defective wouldn't it make sense to have them all removed and swapped for new ones by a machine and leave the testing for a later time? (I don't know if there is a desoldering machine)
Even 37 boards/day is painfully slow with the total number of boards in mind and it must be quite tiring to do it all by hand time and time again.
Thats a good one.
I made a thread and made an offer. No promises.
Ya... that is certainly how you operate.
People need to rethink using your services if you are not willing to do anything to help these people desperately asking for answers.
You can spend 10 minutes here now arguing with me but there are countless people who are asking for you to provide better service. Both Minersource and Technobit in this thread and these forums have had many issues. People should take this as a clear warning when doing biz with you guys. NO PROMISES as well as no effort and lay the blame elsewhere.
I think you need to get your priorities in check.
Enjoy your thread.
Yea instead of having Technobit bundle US customers orders up and sent to us, they should all contact Technobit / Marto directly and arrange for shipping.
You are probably 100% right thinking that they'd get them faster and it was a great idea.
There is one customer that I've been emailing about their boards (that we have part of his order for), that will be the last order we reship.
I'm going to pass this to Marto.
**This post is 100% serious, arrangements now need to be made for shipping**
Unfortunately putting all this in Marto's hands may save 'money' the problem is then can he be trusted to get the units shipped. If you look at his history there are significant issues in the past when he has lied about shipping when he was having production delays in the past or when things became less profitable. Whatever the reasons he has yet to be 100% clear on when a specific customer will get their entire order. If you can set a production number daily then you can estimate within good reason when shipping will occur. He is not doing that. That is why people are rightly pissed. Suggest people remember this the next time they deal with Marto. Better to avoid his company use more reputable and reliable companies. Has anyone independently verified the issues that Marto is having with the boards and production numbers or is everyone just trusting what Marto is saying is actually happening?

In all fairness TechnoBit doesn't respond to questions from potential customers either.
From the looks of it all the Black Arrow customers who chose the Group Buy are much worse off financially than customers who stayed with BA or MinerSource and their incendiary mail bomb. BA & MSs customers are only losing almost 100% of their money, at least 200% in minted Bitcoins at the exchange rates and nobody has died yet. The GB has put a lot more additional out of pocket funds into this cluster-fuck.
How many of those that chose the GB option also sent BA additional funds for Power Supply Units?
These PSUs were for the promised but yet to be delivered compensation units. BA promised to deliver compensation units after they've completed shipping of all orders.
The PSUs use in BAs miner has caused multiple explosive detonations due to to high voltage leakage from the PSUs. The leakage polarized the high capacity aluminium electrolytic capacitors that were added to unused sections of the Printed Circuit Board. The capacitors were polarized in the wrong direction with voltage that far exceed the capacitors rating. An explosive release of an ionically conductive liquid into the miner occurred resulting in combustion of the energized and populated PCB; open flame and toxic smoke being the final result.
BA, MS and TB customers are all experiencing an unreasonable shipping delay in paid for Minion based SHA-256 hashing hardware.
