I have doubt about their existence at all. Have you seen their devices?

Its hard to tell because of the quantities involved, and the fact that most first 'batch''es aren't actually production runs but test batches. As Avalon found out in gen 1, even building 100 and 600 are very different things.

Do you mean first batch was o'kay? Have you seen their equipment at all?

Hurrah, yes it does. Not directly maybe, but it means the imminent release of products can be rated.

So BlackArrow has their minion chips now.

Yeah I have access to them testing my cgminer code - and bobsag3 posted a screen cap of one of the early test runs.

Not sure if that counts for anything useful here though

They'll be added on delivery of their second batch.

What about hashcoins ?

Funny how Kano skews things off topic wherever he goes.

Anyway, back on topic now

Feel free to post the whole PM
Clearly it's not something I said so you'll need to get someone else's approval though. Oh I didn't write that? Hmm ..........
I'd be curious to see exactly where you think someone else has said something - and then also claim that your 'adjustment' of what they said means I extort people.
Show me one post anywhere on this forum where I have extorted ANYONE to send me hardware.
One post. Just one. Anywhere on this entire forum.

I could also point out how you dropped the ball with Klondike.
Something that I spent a lot of effort working on with the teams doing the Klondike hardware, long after you'd dropped the ball.

As for quoting Luke-Jr - I've no idea why that's even relevant.
Many things Luke-Jr says about cgminer are lies ... and I have proven that a number of times on this forum.
Github doesn't lie and it often proves he is lying.

In fact that post you are quoting is a clear lie also.
Check github about where the code was committed.
It was committed by Luke-Jr first into cgminer.
Ckolivas changed some of that code also, and those early changes made, Luke-Jr later committed into his hostile fork of cgminer.
So oddly enough, though strange that I need to explain it, you must clearly be a moron, but that means we also contributed to the BFL FPGA driver. I never took credit for the whole driver. But strange as it may sound to a moron like you, I do take credit ..... for the code I write
Find me a post anywhere on this forum where I have attempted to take credit for anything Luke-Jr wrote. Ever.
I wouldn't be stupid enough to put my name behind any code written by Mr McDonalds hamburger chef.
I will also point out that the first major change in the BFL FPGA driver by ckolivas was to do with handling LP and thus improving it pool accept rate.
Luke-Jr also wrote an LP change before this, but did not release it to the public, he kept it to himself - which was the reason I pestered ckolivas to write LP changes for it.

Now since there's also the possibility that you might have been stupid enough to read that quote and not even know which driver it refers to, I'll add:
The BFL ASIC driver in cgminer was written by me.
It now includes changes since then by ckolivas also.

Ya I wouldn't be throwing any stones Kano. Especially when ckolivas basically says you extort people for mining equipment. To paraphrase a pm he sent me September 17, 2013,: 'Just give him a miner and he will leave you alone.'

Eh? All hardware I receive is published unlike yours I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but it doesnt make much sense for you to say I'm receiving hardware under the table?

The thread doesn't once mention profitability, or "buy this product it is a money printer" - its not to do with that. This resource is for people who are going to buy so they can have the best chance of not getting screwed by the marketplace. We can't make or prevent buyers from buying, so might as well help educate.

+ any thread along those lines would sit in mining speculation.

Ah OK it's all under the table - pretend you never got any of it

Anyone in particular?
When I was offered a unit from the company that kicked you out, I told them I didn't want it - that was related to you also why I didn't want it

This last point is complete crap.
Pretty much anyone who takes note of this thread and decides to buy hardware will lose BTC.
That's a fact that has been ignored by the thread even after I've brought it up.
i.e. he is covering for the manufacturers in the opening post - hiding the fact that it is a loss to buy mining hardware.
... so the question is ... why does he hide that?

Again I would disagree with Dogie about Avalon but he has his reasons and puts them out for scrutiny of all and doesn't use this position to "pressure" people to give him units to review unlike some in this community who beg for units for any number of reasons. Not seen him once ask for a unit to review they have been given based on his reputation for being fairly neutral. If you are a reputable fab then you would give him a unit knowing you would get an unbiased and fair review. This is a needed service just need more people willing to do the same like Neil at minepeon. At this point in time there are no others reviewing companies in this way. If you don't like what he does then do your own reviews but we all should be thankful someone is doing it. It probably has saved some people financial ruin just by trusting his reviews.

Because that's an entirely entirely separate side of what I do and that's made very clear both before and after. A good portion of people who request a review actually pull out when they find that I've still given their company a 'bad' rating. You might not have ethics (if you're accusing me) but I do. If you want to accuse me of being biased then you can start a thread in meta or scam accusations.

So yes, the hours spent on this resource for the community nets me $0.

No, you have been sent hardware ... no idea why you would lie about that $0 since it is obvious and well known.

How is it that that slipped your mind?

(aside: I also receive hardware as cgminer donations)

How is it possible that I post a question in your thread, and suddenly the list is corrupt and every company ever is paying me to rate them? Lul. I have made a total sum of -300 hours and $0 from this guide.


I spent a lot of time with them trying to unravel what happened and laid out plans of how to make it right and move on. The community hatred was too much for the small team to handle and they gave up with us and now don't trade here. They don't trade so their rating is frozen regardless of up or down. But people got what they want, which was to drive them away and no one to buy from them. Now china just enjoys more variety and market competition.

+1
Exactly my point!

"Trade in orders were never refunded" I mean come on...

I think that most of these ratings seem pretty good except the Avalon being a B+.  I know you like them for some reason, but they screwed a lot of people over really bad.  They are boycotted for a reason...and should stay that way.
