Pictures may be worthless to you, but where I come from they are worth 1000 words.
I will be happy with pictures. Showing the miner (even if it looks pretty rubish) and a screenshot of cgminer or whatever showing 2TH/s +/- 25%.
they are really worth 2 words: easily faked
Yeah, everything can be faked my friend. Even the address you praise so much, they could have bought some used Avalons with the IPO money... in truth, we will only know 100% that everything was legit, around January 2014 when enough dividends were paid to cover to more than double the IPO price. Before that, I'm afraid you'll just have to ride the wave.
