Except you can outsource support for dirt cheap. I've done it before. Anyone else can do the same thing. It's not that big of a deal, or a very large expense.

So are they available now?

The first post of the thread has been blanked out...

-MarkM-

Maybe because they are start-up without a lot of venture capital backing upfront to fund support properly, wages are a large cost sink. They are betting on organic growth, advertising...maybe eventually through word of mouth / reviews...

Why don't they hire someone to be on the phone (or email) all day? 

Well, here's a slight update on my situation. Jim contacted me today regarding my order of the 128GH machine. Still have yet to hear about the 1.2GH machine. Not sure if it was brought on by the rather nasty email I sent or not, but a response is a response nonetheless. Apologies all around to AMT if they read this, but surely they could understand where I was coming from.

Apparently he said he would send the tracking number as soon as he got to work this morning. That was at 9:30 AM. 3:30 PM and still no tracking number, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt anyway. If it was sent out yesterday, with the shipping method I used, I should get it by tomorrow afternoon.

Since the order was placed on December 1st (at least, according to their website), it should have shipped at the 29th. At the time, 128GH would not have been able to achieve a positive ROI by the end of the machine's lifetime. I have written to Jim asking about their Miner Protection Agreement, and will be waiting on a response to the upgrade inquiry. Not the biggest issue in the world in my mind - at least I'm getting my miner soon - but it would be nice to see they're willing to back up their own agreements.

I'll post again once I receive my miner with pictures as well as some actual performance details. I'll also update once I hear about the MPA. Hopefully things check out.

Yay thanks for posting this. Good to see some actual deliveries and it working out of the box and such.

OK, thank you for the clarification.

Yeah. Same machine. I actually pulled the center piece out and flipped it around so it isn't much of a "box" anymore. It looks more like guts spilled all over the place now. But it is hashing steady. Much more steady than my Avalon.

Sorry, I'm traveling for a couple weeks (on horrible ice roads!) and I'll fix the links when I return back to the office.

Glad to see you got yours. Just hoping people who actually ORDERED some get theirs sometime soon. With proof, of course. One of the people refused to post proof of ownership due to "security reasons." Whatever that means.

I'd just be happy to receive an email or a damn phone call. Other people claim to be able to contact them, yet I haven't in a month of trying to contact them multiple times. I just don't get it.

Ok, boys and girls, I'm reviewing the machine in another thread.

Here ya go. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=403223.new#new

My 128Ghash that I sent as a test order is now three weeks PAST my "3 weeks delivery time they claim."

I can not get in touch with them by phone, or by email. The only response I got was both unprofessional and rather insulting, where they say, and I quote, "it isn't our fault that our customers don't know how to use a forum."

OK, I follow you logic.

Evening folks.

Got home from work to a package from AMT. I shot an unboxing video, which I will be posting shortly. The video is terribly amateurish, cuz I didn't script it or edit it. Just shot the bitch and up it goes.

I'll edit this post as soon as I have it up.

I'm not sure I'm going to have time this evening to mess with it. If I do, I'll let y'all know.

Thanks again to the nice folks at AMT for giving me the machine and the opportunity to review it.

First impressions:

The packaging was rather ugly, but well done from the point of view of keeping the beast safe. It was well cushioned.

The unit itself is very small. I'm a bit worried about heat. It's pretty, though.

Jim had PM'd me saying the guy that packaged it might have forgot to include a power cable. You were right, Jim Not a problem, I have no shortage of power cables. I'll get about hooking it up as soon as I get time. Hopefully later tonight, but no promises.

Edit: Here's the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-kA5avsZBI&feature=youtu.be

I'll be doing some commentary on cryptocurrency on that channel in the future, as well as a full review of this machine.

I can confirm, by logic, that the images are of the same machine. One is a side shot, one is down the cage. The usb-board on the first shot is "Top-View" while the second shot is from the "Side-View", also indicated by the writing on the PSU, thus, showing the miner-board mounted in the cage, which is obscured in the first shot.

Plus, carpet is the same.

Here come the tin foil hats again

Could you confirm that the 80 GH/s machine in this image...

...is the same 80 GH/s machine in this image?

I am trying to figure out if both images are from the same machine. It seems the first image do not match any part of the machine in the last image.

By the way, was you who took the shots?

Yes it is, AMT kept making false claims about expecting to receive bitmine chips and being able to ship miners at impossible times longer after Bitmine made public their chips would be late and would not ship before January:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4078302

Bitmine's statement was public, was repeatedly posted here, up to you to believe if AMT somehow "missed the news" and wasnt informed by Bitmine and didnt read posts in this thread or any Bitmine thread; or if they deliberately lied to their customers. Just like they continue to lie about power consumption claims and have been lying about delivery dates since the first day.

Astonishing how people will fork over their hard earned money just because there is a "sign on a building" and someone on the phone is civilized to prospective customers on some hours of the day.   Really? BFL have a sign on their building too, Im sure some of their people can be nice on the phone too at certain hours (at least if you havent ordered anything yet and arent asking about when they will ship or demanding a refund or RMA). Doesnt change the fact their core business is lying and swindling and selling preorders for vaporware.
