I also don't think this is worth the risk because there is nothing special. There are many others assembling these chips.

While I'd like to believe that this is at least a legitimate effort to sell a product, there are several factors that have not (yet) been addressed by HashTech:
1) Requests for escrow on deposit
2) A lack of Avalon chip order proof
3) Haste and lack of attention to detail in creation of the company
After we get this out of the way, then we'll want to see things like pictures of the design, prototypes, and the facility. There may be more of course, but until these points are addressed, the average member of these forums will continue to be skeptical.

I felt bfl, knc and metabank

Nope not feeling it
And yet, there are many of this services already sold.
So, yes, I will not be convinced with this until I see some of the "test units" shipped and working but I can't start pointing something without proof.
If you're not convinced at least stay quiet until some proof starts to show, is the same problem I have, It's hard to trust in someone behind a screen.
By the way, I'm not supporting this in any way, I have my own projects in here, I'm just trying to point something very common in this community.

Give this one credit... was a smart plan get 1 btc reserve.... and say rest will be escrow.
Sigh guess if it sounds to good to be true.... it just might be.

Dang Sherlock Holmes
Yes, actually. 38 units available also conflicts with the previous statement that 14 units had been deposited on. OP has some 'splainin' to do.

Number of units available on the order page jumped from 22 to 38... trying to get more than 50 BTC in deposits?

I lol'd: The subject of the confirmation email - "varify and activate your Hashtech account"
The email is signed: "From The Hastech Team".
Not very professional guys. Seems like everything was quite rushed.

What is the purpose of a 1 BTC deposit?
If you produce the product as promised, you can sell as many as you can produce for more than you're asking, so that's not it.
Is the deposit because you need the equivalent of $5,000 USD to fund this? It seems your startup expenses will far exceed this amount. In fact, it seems your expenses will far exceed your total revenue for 50 units at 8.99 BTC.
Not making much sense as a legitimate business...
Why is it that all these offers are always just on the verge of (but not actually) posting incontrovertible proof when they ask for funds?

One way to alleviate concerns would be to post a copy of your orders for Avalon chips including dates.
I too would like to see these Avalon chip orders. That makes several of us asking.

I would like to request a review unit.
I think all the review units are assigned.

Support to escrow the deposit as well 
June 17, 2013, 12:47:14 PM
Please take escrow for the deposit. Ready to order 10 units.
I would be in for one or two if you took escrow..

Someone informed me via PM that I was accepted as one of the people from the community to verify the authenticity of these units when they become available.
I am happy to post pictures and write up a report and review of this product if/when something is shipped out, but have received no official communication at this time.
Looking forward to keeping tabs on this project. It's great the see the all this competition entering the marketplace, and unfortunate we need to remain mindful of and vigilant against dishonest actors.
Good to see HashTech being open and responsive to the community so far.
