One thing is that they keep saying the 20TH will be online in the early October. I don't think lying about this does any good to them. Most likely they just have some problem in assembling and deploying.
You and the other few people still somehow hyping up LC continue to quote their claims. What makes this promise any different from the countless others (all of which have been broken). If they couldn't come anywhere near the few TH claim for the first batch, why are they any more likely to be on track for 20TH from the next batch? Also, LC stated that they ordered the next batch weeks ago. It's clear from their inconsistent hashrate that they have not yet figured out the issues with the first batch. Please explain to me how they could have ordered a significantly better performing batch of chips before figuring out everything they botched for the first one.
I'm not saying they have a very high chance in working with their second batch. Otherwise, I will buy all the shares below 0.002.
I'm just saying there's still hope, so no need to panic sell. Do your own homework and evaluate the risk and rewards. Never be affected by this thread and other guys' behavior.
For your first question, unless we can prove they have sold most of their shares, this cannot be a complete scam. It's at most a failed project managed by some very incompetent guys.
