The sentiment from the miners after each time they're Joshed:
YES
... they can donate to a charity of Frizz's choice.

Since they're having problems testing on the test rig, simply test it live. Any coins earned, they can donate to a charity of Frizz's choice.
Unless they start denying refunds, they shouldn't be labeled as scammers. They are 6 months late, but they are legitimately working on a product.
Perhaps they should be banned from advertising on the forum until they have delivered their units and caught up on the backlog. I think scammer tags are pretty useless, but the forum doesn't need to be seen to be endorsing them by allowing their ads.
Of course theymos would probably say that banning them from advertising is censorship.

... The tag could obviously come off if they ever ship a product, but until then i think it's our duty to protect fellow forum-goers from falling into their trap, especially since there are ads plastered everywhere saying "Order now!" instead of "pre-order now" ...
Totally agree.
Considering they have delivered exactly as much as bASIC, Lightning miner, and primeAsic, and taken considerably more money, there is really no reason they shouldn't get a tag. The tag could obviously come off if they ever ship a product, but until then i think it's our duty to protect fellow forum-goers from falling into their trap, especially since there are ads plastered everywhere saying "Order now!" instead of "pre-order now", and their website still says they will be shipping in late march which as we all now know will not happen, even for orders placed 8 months ago.
