I've been in contact with auto2nr1.

If anyone else wants to connect with me since it seems I'm one of the only ones the OP has been reaching out to, I don't mind giving the latest update.

On my next talk with him I will mention that he needs to send out some information to everyone at least via email if he doesn't have time to call.

BTW he hasn't been on here since the 30th. The thread needs updated badly with new Specs/Announcements so don't even bother reading the first post or title and yelling scam. Also please do not bump this thread unless you are someone that needs to contact me as it serves no use. People already paid and now we wait to see if this is legit.

SCAM BUMP

Sock puppet #1 (ks3rv3rg) loses all credibility and mysteriously goes silent, just as sock puppet #2 (Bargraphics) shows up.  What an amazing coincidence!   Roll Eyes

Sorry about that guys, I was using my alternate account (Henchman24) meant to use this account.
Uhhhhh, what? I can't believe you're still trying to get this scam going.

This PCI-E Based ASIC miners 1.2th/s - 1.9th's +\- 10% scam is like a Walking Dead zombie which just won't give up trying to grab your bitcoins!

Parallella = FAIL.   Adapteva always fails to deliver results.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adapteva
These guys are known scam artists in the hardware community.

Beyond this, I'd like to add I love all the discussion regarding construction of litecoin mining hardware.   The main bottleneck of litecoin mining is memory bandwidth, not excessive memory size or logic frequency.  Additionally I think you will be hard pressed to produce enough ASICs to amortize the high cost packaging required to provide said memory.  Its kind of hard to beat modern GPUs which have 384 bit 6 gbps data buses.

I spoke with bargraphics on the phone yesterday and he's been keeping in touch with me via voice/text. For those that have had our money taken with no contact from Jon we should all keep in touch so if anyone hears anything we can keep each other posted.

He was supposed to call me as well (Hell I was even supposed to fly up there) but after talking with him literally Yesterday (Twice I might add) things were delayed (I'm accustomed to delays considering I have a couple orders with BFL hah!)

It sounded like he had a lot on his plate, it's only been a week since you had a phone call. I'll reach out to him right now for you and see what response I get.

Edit: Gave him a call just now, no answer. Will try again later.

Bargraphics just sent you a PM. Would like to exchange contact information with you as you are the only one that can reach him. I sent him another msg this morning with no response. Us forum members should help each other out to build more trust within the community. Let me know if we can touch base and hopefully i can get into touch with him. Thanks.

Well it seems I have been schemed!!

He has to live his conscience...


Find out where he resides and report him to police.  Ask for a fraud unit.

PS. His site is hosted through GoDaddy (secureserver.net) so if you are in any jurisdiction where they operate, contact police and they will
ask GoDaddy to give them his personal info on a platter.  Investigate and lay charges.

I gave him the chance to prove his product and decided to throw a few coins his way. You live and learn. At first he was very responsive. Kept in touch via phone and e-mail. I've been texting, calling and e-mailing him since last Wednesday and no response. Any one else in the same situation? Let's do something about this.

I've been in constant contact with him, he's returned every phone call and email I've sent. If you truly did throw a few coins his way then you probably received a response, otherwise it is likely this is a troll post.

Next time I speak with him I'll ask him about you.

Troll post? You gotta be kidding me. I don't waste my time by trolling on the forums. I have proof of contact up until last Tuesday. He was suppose to touch base wit me on Wednesday and he disappeared. I have proof of e-mails as well as text messages. Best way would be to contact law enforcement in Raleigh, North Carolina and talk to the fraud unit?

Wow, why is this thread 8 pages long?

First page should just be "sup, this is a scam move on" and it should never have gone past that.

I think this is part of why I can't really get motivated by bitcoin the way I want. The community seems to have far too much money, and far too little sense.

Actually its just been 8 pages of trolling about how stupidly this scam was written.

edit: (HeadPalm) Crap, I think I just bumped the thread again

We're sort of running out people to troll here I think... This is a popcorn thread for us.

And like I just mentioned.  Maybe everyone needs to get off their "I know everything about Avalon chips" high horse and realize that there may be more to the device that you realize.  If you took off your scam glasses you'd see that he's mentioned that there are other components playing a part.

Dude, this isn't black magic.  There isn't a mystical configuration where if you put chips X+Y+Z in a special order you get a performance upgrade.  It's fucking Electrical Engineering, it's a science.  Avalon chips are a known quantity, their performance is a known figure.  When someone comes around asking for pre-order money based on the claim that he used Avalon chips to make a PCI-e miner that gets performance several orders of magnitude greater than the chips are capable of, it raises some red flags.  Shit, raising red flags isn't even a strong enough statement, it just tells you that the person making such a claim is full of shit.  In addition to that:

This person has made wild claims such as having a group of engineers with 150 years experience designing this thing, but meanwhile describes basic principles about the technology incorrectly.
This person provided 0 evidence that anything he is saying is true - proof of chip purchase, info on designs, CAD drawings, board specs, pictures of a prototype or construction etc.
This person talks like a 14 year old raging while playing Call of Duty.

The list could go on.  And after all this mounting evidence that VPSguy is a scammer, you keep trying to claim he's a "legitimate business person".  Do you see why everyone thinks you are a sock puppet?

^This.
The quality of scams has really declined since Bitcoin was found by the mainstream media. It used to take weeks to unravel the hoaxes, now they fall apart half way through the opening post.  Sad

Any of you ever consider that the level of transparency from the OP is a good thing?  If he openly shares who he is wouldn't that show some commitment to legitimacy?  Just a thought.  I'm looking forward to you "hero" folks eatting your words.   Nice to see people here are so consumed with anger and paranoia that they can't see straight. Get some fresh air. Espessially you smoothie.

Somebody else posted his contact and account info.

Someone else posted his contact information that is all easily found public information. Search his name or whois his website.  His information is there for all to see.

Sorry, I happen to own a physics book. Whois won't hell the OP break the laws of physics.

And like I just mentioned.  Maybe everyone needs to get off their "I know everything about Avalon chips" high horse and realize that there may be more to the device that you realize.  If you took off your scam glasses you'd see that he's mentioned that there are other components playing a part.

ASICS are "Application Specific Integrated Circuits". They are circuits specifically designed to do one thing, hash sha-2. There is no magic that can make them go faster than they're designed to go. Electronics only go as fast as they're slowest part. Thats why you can upgrade a computer with more ram and a faster hardrive and it will go faster. But the ASIC chip is the limiting factor here. You can't physically get significantly more hashing from them than they're designed to do. I can give a it the fastests bus possible and it will still only hash at 282 MH/s. We're not just being mean here. The numbers hes giving us are seriously impossible. Is he going to try to overclock the chips 100 times. I'm not sure thats possible even with some serious hardware modification and do you know how much liquid nitrogen they used to even overclock a chip 2-3 times higher? http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1137478/celeron-overclocked-1ghz

Now this is the kind of post I like to see.  Something with substance.  In the coming week/two we will see what has been developed.  Your point is very vaild, but VPSguy is also a legitimate business person.  So I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
That article is very interesting. I dont think its really comparable though as they had to use so much liquid  nitrogen because of the heavily increased voltage/clock speed on a very old chip/architecture.  With better chip design/firmware/bios one should be able to accomplish greater speeds without the need for extreme cooling.  As it said- they were even able to get it up to 5.7 with air cooling.  But all that said, I'm not someone who develops these boards/chips so I may be partially/completely wrong.  Thanks for a constructive post
