Sent you a PM. But after 3 tries if not contact at my end...I don't see how he can get this project off the ground....
I sent you my email...he can contact me via that...but right now everyone is wasting their time trying to do anything with this
no real info, no demo units, etc, etc
with the pandemic and crypto crash...he may, if he was borderline, out of the running on this anyway at this time
later

Hi Searing,
You seem to be missing this point completely. I believe this is NOT a scam, because I have dealt with the manufacturer and believe him, he has put significant effort into this and until I see a scam report, I do not think this is a scam.
Irrespective of that, I am not saying go and buy 1000s of pre-order units, I am trying to sell a demo unit I have in hand.
If you want the demo unit I have in hand, purchase it from me (At a heavily discounted rate compared to retail)
I dealt with BFL and I dealt with GAW and Paycoin (usb device) I've dealt with KNC and had friends where after pre-order Neptune device was made was mined by KNC for 9-10 months in 'testing'
like BFL and when released to customers only 3 months and then doorstop and never to ROI...I've dealt with alpha tech which even took PayPal and had a prototype...never released publicly
the list goes on and on
all the above aside...if you can't get a hold of the place via their www site for months via email and no info on a PRE_ORDER these days you run away anyway
also, BFL has a fine FPGA brick that worked fine and on time before they released before their next releases which never showed up until way, way beyond ROI (SEC shut them down)...so just
having prototypes don't cut it either
---------------------------------------------
but again all the above set aside
---------------------------------------------
1) no way to contact the dev..no info on progress from dev...no prototypes to someone like me, Searing, or Philipma1957 nor even Voskooin ...you and a couple of NZ
folk just don't cut it...I mean really a pre-order page and no contact and no way to ask questions but through you who 'happens' to have gotten a unit or so?
2) network still in test mode.....again back to 'deafening silence'
3) no frigging info of any real note or kind on a google search on this product ..no one has heard of it..and if they have the buzz is that it has been a scam for the last 9 months
the only reason I even posted here was from what I've heard that it was a scam for the last 9 months and I know you are legit....thus my WTH posting of such?
Unless more info on all the above I'd stay away...good intentions are fine..but I'm not sure if even if such a badly run development project ..even if legit...can hang
together at the dump to the crypto prices, we have now..and the epic dump...so that is another boat anchor to what I see as probably a pie in the sky dream project
4) light a fire under the devs ass and get some 'legit' 3rd party reviews out there on bitcointalk and some development news and such...not just everything through
you and a frigging www page link and no reply
hell of a way to run a legit project IMHO..keep it secret with only the pre-order web site it seems and no reply to inquires on your project
also, why are you selling a unit if you think this is such a good project and coming out of development?
Without some more info from other sources (you are legit ..just saying) other sources....this does not pass the 'smell test' in any way at all at this time
perhaps this will change..but the project has a lot of miles to make up....in that like me most people that have heard about this project I talk to have said is a scam
for months now ....sad to say if legit...but hey..what's a guy supposed to think..again wrote off this project back months and months ago....so again am still dubious
in that, it pops up now as legit with the same lack of info and bad management and such...
legit it may end up being, but damn, they better ramp stuff up pronto, I do google search and this thread pops up that can't be good...tell the dev he needs to step
things up or legit of not his project is doomed
