i don't support them nor not support them. they don't seem like a scam tho. their responses have been pretty reasonable in my opinion. personally I find FPGAs pretty interesting from a technology standpoint, but none of them seem to do anything for ETH mining so i have no reason to really buy one.

everyone complaining is just an entitled crybaby that thinks every company is obligated to give away free shit to certain members here before they are allowed to sell something on BCT (else the scam accusations and pitchforks come out). which is totally bogus. most of the people complaining wouldn't be able to afford what he's selling anyway (FPGAs are too damn expensive for the average miner IMO, myself included). everyone wants to get "street cred" by being the white knight protecting the poor villagers from losing their money. but you idiots are just pushing out honest sellers trying to offer something up for you.

YOU ARE NOT OWED ANYTHING! JUST BECAUSE THEY WONT SEND OUT FREE SAMPLES DOES NOT MAKE THEM A SCAMMER! ESCROW DOES NOT PROTECT YOU ANY MORE THAN, AND IS NOT NEEDED WHEN THE SELLER ACCEPTS PAYMENTS COVERED BY BUYER PROTECTIONS! (Paypal, Credit card, etc).

From what i can tell, this is a group buy for a board made by SOMEONE ELSE. Huawei is a huge Chinese company that makes legitimate products. These guys aren't developing these things, they are just trying to help the smaller guy get around the MOQ. Do you have millions of dollars to spend buying thousands of cards? No? then shut the fuck up. It's Huawei's decision to require bulk purchases, and without a group buy like this, none of the smaller guys would be able to even get their hands on one.

Not trolling at all. Just warning potential buyers about high risk with seller behavior.
Nobody is asking for "free shit". Usually respected members after tests are returning gear back or paying for it.
My first post in Obelisk thread was deleted - I just noted that there are too round numbers projected for the unit, so high risk of fulfilling them. Ask Obelisk owners now.
Supporting shills can freely ignore me. It's not my intention to turn their attention. Buyers should. I owe this to BCT community.
