Any one else check the news section out lately?
I've been keeping an eye on it for announcements like shipping or anything really. Every time I went there the last update was November 30th. Today I went and it looks like a bunch of news was added that has been backdated to look like regular updates.
One say that very clearly stated that they are shipping the mid-February delivery orders and that was posted on February.
There is a post dated the 10th of December about the Bitcoin Forum hack that happened in October, why they'd post that so late I don't know. I mean other than their headline reading
Report: Bitcointalk Forum Hacked & Unreliable Obviously doesn't look like they want anyone to look here and see what's been said. Though if that is the case they might have shot them selves in the foot because it would then be the first place I checked and I would imagine most skeptical people would.
On a "Feb 10th" post they have a picture of a PCB and talking about prototyping and testing. This image is included on the page.
Using the lat and long found in the efix I found the picture was taken in South Hampton, PA. If you're checking my work make sure when you do it you use 40 for the lat -75 for the long.
From there I looked up pcb manufacturers in South Hampton (make sure you type PA or you get a bunch of uk hits). The first first thing that comes up is this site
http://www.imetcorporation.com/electronic-contract-manufacturing.html Use Google maps and it leads you to a picture of the same building that that PBC manufacturer's building is located.
This obviously doesn't mean they aren't scamming but it adds some legitimacy as it's 26.4 miles door to door from their office to this manufacturer.
Any way I'll give the Manufacturer tomorrow and see if I can't get some info from them, don't know if they'll speak about their contracts or not but if I do I'll ask roughly how many boards they've ordered from them.
I think they re using three or for manufacturers so we can take an order and multiply it by three or four and see if it's close to the number of orders estimated. We can also ask if they are done making them all or not. The photo is dated the 20th of Feb though the article was "posted" the 10th, I didn't know about the HTC one's ability to take pictures from the future.
My guess at this moment is it's a mixture of panic, poor business skills, and thinly veiled deceit to make it look like they were ahead of where they are. They did snap a pic of the chips on the second of February with their magic camera, but it was at a residential address. in Haverton. With that quantity of chips I can't seem them not making miners, so lets see what happens these next couple weeks. Makes them pretty damn clueless if they had received chips and stuff but didn't post them.
Anyway it's worth popping in and reading what's been posted.
