You are very correct that there is no harm in further establishing identity, and I am all about having multiple confirmations of the information. It just sounded to me that he was saying there was not yet a legitimate confirmation. It has already been well established in this thread that most of the information and activity about these products takes place in the discord. All the facts that I stated have been confirmed via the discord many times. On top of that, this has all been confirmed in the interview that GPUHoarder did.
So please don't take my reply to say that I think the press release is meaningless, I am just expressing that with minimal effort this was easily confirmed. I'm not legendary on these forums, and I'm relatively new to crypto compared to you guys, but I was able to find this information out very easily.
Fair enough. I prefer things to be confirmed right here though. Not everyone wants or trusts discord. And unless discord does KYC any verification on there is about as meaningless as an anonymous account on this forum claiming to be someone. This has nothing to do with legendaries, which is also not an indication of trust in any way. Just some healthy skepticism.
philipma1957 on the other hand is one of the most trusted people on this forum with his real life identity known etc so any business trying to do anything here would be well advised to listen to him when it comes to things like this.
Having said that, identity verification shouldn't be taken as a guarantee of trustworthiness either. Many things can go wrong here. Now at least we'll know who needs to be sued if that happens

Look Last time I found a big issue it was GAW miners I exposed the flaw in their nicehash/westhash miners. It was the first real chink in their armor and I received multiple emails and pms from them that I considered thinly veiled threats.
I remember that. Garza is awaiting sentencing now. Karma is a fine lady.
To be clear airsquirrels.com has been perfectly polite to me via email the email is in this thread above. GPUHOARDER was 100% accommodating when I explained the vetting issue that I had.
He cleared it up in under 1 hour's time by issuing the press release today. So I will buy 1 of each Acorn 2 model and have some fun with them.
