Topic: Official Thread: AMT - page 294. (Read 678353 times)

So, I received the 192GH/s miner today, I posted photos here: http://postimg.org/gallery/hv3esm2/170753d0/

It contains 3 HEX16B-Bitfury ASIC Miner boards as far as I can tell. They all connect to a USB hub, which connects to a TP-Link TL-MR3020 device. There are a lot of fans too :-)
One cpu fan is not properly mounted against the bitfury card and I may have to take the whole thing apart to access it as it does not do anything and half of the card isn't "fanned".

Jim needs to provide me with the instructions as they are not available in writing yet. Until then, I can't connect to this rig and get it mining.

I tried to get the TP-Link device to broadcast wifi or connect to ethernet or wifi, but zilch. I am not sure it's working. I checked the documentation on the TP-Link website and I'd be really surprised if it's actually working.
 
I connected each board individually to my computer and it says they are HEX16B-Bitfury ASIC Miner, which sounds good. However, I don't have a driver for these so I could not test them as miners connected directly to my PC. If somebody knows how to get the cards recognized by a PC, I can try them out individually for a raw test.

Needless to say, I am excited and can't wait to get this online. Good stuff AMT.

That's all for now, as soon as I get this thing hashing, I'll publish a video.

I can't wait for the website mason icon analysis.

Fruitcake for Christmas!

No your not. I guess some people get off on sewing doubt/uncertainty.

this is one messed up industry. am i the only person floored by the audacity/bullshit pulled by some people around here? there is such a demand and so little supply i cant imagine competition would actively seek to slander another miner company. this imitation free mason guy went "full retard" - you never go "full" retard. implicating customers? just wow.

well thankyou AMT good to hear that. If its possible thanks.. looks like I will be using AMX card. Thanks again You info about credit cards is great news

To clear up this CC thing, we have a merchant and do accept CC via email checkout. The problem is that we have a limit on our merchants of how much we can process each month as we build credibility with the merchant processor and the bank as well. This is normal process for a new business with no history. Yes when you select CC you're taken to a page that says we'll get in touch with you shortly. If we have room for processing within this margin, which like between 1st and 10th of month we call the client back and either take the order over the phone or inform them that we'll be sending them this CC checkout via email. This is only a problem for one more month and than after January the limitations on our merchant account will be increased. A normal 90 day evaluation period every new business must go through if they don't have history or credit. That's why we only take payments for the smaller units, to allow for more purchases, more shipping/tracking numbers to prove delivery. And the merchant provider won't allow tickets over 3k.

I think we are not bashing a company. but come one BFL at least you can buy there rig. didn't AMT say they where going to post video of a working miner. or didn't they ship out a unit already to buyers. There is no way that there isnt any pictures online with a client using a miner... Shit AMT looks more like phantom console and we all know how that came out.

So, why are you advertising that you are a "Freemason" in order to establish credibility to your post? Seems pretty contradictory to me...

I think everyone needs to calm down, take a step back and look at almost every mining company in the industry. The fact is, this industry is so new and so explosive at the moment that it has to be incredibly difficult to create a startup small-business. It isn't like Apple or Amazon or any of those companies that have been around for years and years. They have the financial capabilities to be able to provide A+ customer support - most mining companies right now don't have. In fact, a lot of companies post losses in the first year or two in order to establish themselves a solid reputation with customers. It is very hard to start up any business right now, yet alone one that has rarely been done before and is completely in its infancy.

I know I know all of you are going to say "This guy only has a small number of posts - what does he know?", but I have been a long time lurker and decided to read before posting - something I feel a lot of people on this forum need to do. I have placed an order for two 1.2 TH/s miner's to be shipped around Feb 2nd. I am order #899.

That being said, I am extremely grateful for AMT as they are one of the few companies daring to take on this incredibly unstable market. Without them to challenge the market, we would have less competition in the industry and thus higher priced miners. Please, everyone, just relax and at least let AMT try to work on their products, rather than answering ridiculous accusatory posts.

To AMT - I sincerely hope you are for real on this and I applaud you in your effort. I am very excited to see where you take your company, because the potential for you here is incredible. People always have something negative to say - Ignore those people. Prove those who have supported you right by providing us with an incredible product we all know you are capable of producing. Everything becomes smooth sailing from there.

Cheers,
Chazaki

well guys thanks for the reply about AMT Credit card payment. Now that sucks.... hell no i'm paying amt with a bank transfer or wire or bitcoin. Looks like only way is going to have to buy it with Ebay. I might have to pay much more but at least i'm protected. Dont have faith with a Company let it be BFL AMT or others that dont take credit cards.

 why cant these companies offer that payment..... wait wait with I know with credit cards they know if they don't deliver item they know that Capital One, BOA Chase any banks will come after there ass. Sometimes its better to have a paper trail. Sorry AMT i had faith in you but this doesnt show us you are serious.. heck even a Liquor store accepts CC... Maybe AMT should accept EBT (food stamps ) lololo

proof or stfu man. you sound like an idiot.

LOL'ed at this whole post...

EDIT: Freemasons are real... sort-of...
Just read a great deal about it. Thanks for expanding my knowledge indirectly.

"Obligation not to use token (a material thing), ... in a materialistic fasion." (Then why have that materialistic token? To NOT use it???

...."not acceptable to advertise... Freemason"... Is this fight-club... rule number one, tell no one...

Freemasons, is this 1820, or was that the 1400's? Isn't that from Indiana Jones and the temple of doom, the guys running around in the Shriner hats? (No offence if that was actually a serious post, and you are a Freemason. But "sort-of", as you said, isn't quite "absolute". I am sure a mason was named "Bob", so having the screen-name bob124 is masonic?!?!)

Sorry, had to chime-in on that post, it was impossible to sit silent upon. Nice touch with the "selling shovels" bit. Funny, because before I mined bitcoins, and built my machines, I mined gold with shovels and pans. That is what led me to bitcoins. What would be wrong with abandoning a dead business model for a better one, that is more advanced? If I might ask. All you need is money, and people who can use an easy-bake oven and silk-screen, which is any McDonalds employee. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to assemble most computer units. Hell, I am a high-school drop-out, and do more technical work than people with years of college. (Apparently, now I make more than some of them that I know too. )

I think BFL has more against them, in the past. However, like the above post, it is unrelated to the present.

NOTE: Correction to my previous link-text. I wasn't implying that the link was old-tech, that was a separate comment, referring to the 65nm designs and the erupter-blades, which are 2x more than the equivalent new-tech. It was just a coincidence that the link was also 2x the value of this specific 1.2Ths miner. (I am still getting people trying to sell me 100Ghs erupter-blade-rigs for $6000, which are being mass-produced by some Chinese company now. I assume the ones who originally sold them to the designers of the actual blades. )

No, they don't accept credit cards.  I placed an order for the small 80 GH/s Coin Miner (#AMT60 $1,545 way over price) miner because they say they accepted credit card.  I was expecting to pay when i order.  There was no option to pay after ordering.  A few days later i got the following e-mail saying no credit card.  Bait and switch maybe?  I was like WTF??  Glad i have my KNC gears up and running WHICH i paid with PayPal on top of my Amex (double protection if anything goes south).  


Hi XXX,

we see that you've recently placed an order with us.
Unfortunately we cannot accept credit card payments at the current moment. I am sure you can understand.
You have the option to keep your order and can make a payment via Wire,
Check or Bitcoin.


If you opt for a wire payment (the fastest, probably easiest payment if
you don't have Bitcoins in the moment), we'll issue you a quick wire
request invoice and after you've made your payment we issue you a paid
wire receipt. The majority of our clients opt to pay via wire.


Please let me know what you'd like to do, again I apologize about the
confusion.





Kind Regards,

My mistake. Credit cards are available, but only for the 2 smallest miners.

really why does it have the option on there site

No they don't.

well, you have mastered google. yes, in may i received a DWI coming home from a smashing pumpkins concert (may 9th?). yes, my "mugshot" is posted online for all the world to see. I do not have a say in this. yes, i live in north carolina. i am a project manager for a construction company whose corporate office is in Mentor Ohio - hence a company phone with a phone number from ohio. this phone number has been the phone number of many employees before i came along 5 years ago. what conspiracy do you think you have here? you are a fool.

p.s. i am Junior in case you get me mixed up with my father asshole.

well after reading all this. I'm happy with amt. going to order one soon. What i love about AMT is for a fact they take Visa, Master card and America express. With all three credit cards ( which i plan on buying with a AMX ) I'm fully covered. If i don't get the product.  AMX said once i order it. They will keep track of it. If i never receive the item they will refund the money back to my card. The biggest thing AMT has is credit card transaction Protects its customers. And other sites only take bank transfers or bitcoin. NO way to protect your money

But once i see someone has a AMT Miner i will place my order.... with a credit card 

AMT+Josh=LOVE!

I have watched this saga as it unfolds with little but barely-restrained fury at those who think they can make a quick buck on the backs of hard-working men and women, and using the name and symbols of a Craft I hold dear. With a wink and a nod, no less.  And then a sneer as they cash out their ill-gotten gains.

I do not draw conclusions here. I call out details I have noted and frayed edges they havent tamped down.  I simply wish bring to Light the facts I have noted that may have escaped others. Judge as you will, but dig deeper, and if fooled they would have you, I would only that you keep your money from their fists and see them punished. If indeed they so deserve.

So. On AMT's site, they have not-so-subtly placed some Masonic symbols. Indicating they, as a group, may be Masons.  Corresponding are forum names of possible shills like boaz33. Also masonic, and using overt and out-of-place Masonic symbols. Sort of.  They used the same sock puppet on Reddit. I would like to point out that as a Pennsylvania Mason, it is part of our Oath and Obligation not to use our tokens in such a Crass and Materialistic fashion. Nor is it considered "okay" even just letting Brothers know in that way, especially when among outsiders. As most of you are.  It is, I repeat, NOT ACCEPTABLE to advertise "Hey, I'm a Freemason." in almost any enterprise.  The gentlemen in my Lodge and I have done our research. And we've done our investigating. We find no reason to hold back at this point, as the scam and theft by AMT is ongoing. And to claim that they are "On the Level" is simply sick-making. They are not Masons of any lodge we can locate.  "Advanced Mining Technology" as a corporation exists in the Pennsylvania Secretary of State's registry, but they were formed in 1990, 20 years before bitcoin, and actually sell mining equipment. Not bitcoin miners, shovels. They seem to track to a backwater lot in Florida, though they were once in PA. Twenty years is a long time, of course. http://www.bizapedia.com/pa/ADVANCED-MINING-TECHNOLOGY-INC.html  That company's registered to Friedrich and Marianne Hesse. Interesting, ja?

I shall leave it to others to continue with some of these threads. I could hold my tongue no more.

I know there are Brothers here that have seen what I have, even if they've wisely chosen to reserve judgment.  You may feel free to PM or email any relevant details. My email is [email protected]

However, the ongoing shilling turns my stomach.  Boaz33, your first posts were about "Hey, should we just start a brand new mining ASIC company there's more money in giving refunds!?"  Majalen33...again, the Masonic 33. You should remember that those who Know don't speak, and those who speak typically don't Know.  Clenell, I point to you, too. Why does the phone number in your craigslist ad return to an Ohio man with a criminal record?   Are you not in North Carolina as your recent May arrest indicates?  "Jim" @ AMT? Shall we go on? And on Reddit and the other sites. Men may be Fools, but we are all Fools together.
 
So, to AMT and your cronies, cohorts and craven soon-to-be co-defendants:  I'd advise you all to come clean NOW as the next posting will detail and dox the individuals involved, and I would promise criminal and civil charges to follow.  At this point you may extricate yourselves and close the books on yet another scam to separate fools and their money. The community needs honesty, legitimacy and Light. You bring none. Make it stop. NOW.

With Love and Light.
