LOL...the 10x hashing increase he's talking about is the same 25 -> 250 MH (or 5 -> 25 MH) increase they offered early last year, when KNC announced the Titans as a competing product. It's his way of pointing out that they REALLY went the extra mile for their customers. As if that hashrate means anything, today - the devices are obsolete before they've even been produced. His failure to acknowledge this either says A) he's totally unfamiliar with the market or B) he's a moron. It's likely the new SFARDS hardware will hit the network before these guys ever ship a single device, and there will be no point to ever turning a Viper on, at all. Actually, with an 80% increase in power consumption, there's really no point to turning one on NOW.
They have outsourced every aspect of this production and were insanely over-confident in their ability to deliver. They've screwed up just about every aspect of the process and had to re-do almost everything. Yet somehow, they still feel justified in keeping peoples' final payments...even though they're currently nine months past their announced shipping date (mid-July). They stated in the pre-order details that they'd only ask for final payment 8-10 weeks before shipping. They're WAY past the point of breaching that agreement and it's just laughable that they defend themselves by saying we agreed to it by pre-ordering. We agreed to make final payment 8-10 weeks before shipping. We lived up to our end of the deal...they didn't, bottom line.
Unfortunately, because 100% of this project is outsourced, I would be willing to bet that they have NO assets to liquidate in a winding up petition (he's probably running this from his living room, at this point) and at best, it would just shut down Alpha Technology as a going concern...which would be fine with me, as I don't want to see these hucksters doing business in crypto, ever again.
