It looks like they never tested the gpu boost features and simply invented them from figments of their own imagination.
Zero proof or demos of the boost feature in action that I know of.
If I am wrong please link to real demos of acorns boosting gpus.
That is a bit harsh. They delivered the hardware and have not disappeared so far. I think they bit off a bit much, the bottom fell out of the market, and they have lost a lot of time dealing with angry customers.
It's not harsh. It's accurate. There may have been GPU boosting in a lab with a one-off, not ready for prime-time miner, but there has been nothing presented to the public, i.e.: send something to a trusted community user like Phil or Vosk or others, to prove that GPU assist is a thing.
I think GPUHoarder and SQRLs are doing their best to salvage a bad situation (between product delays due to myriad reasons, coordinating/acting as a facilitator for the BCU group buy, Mineority imploding, etc.) and do the right thing for their customers. If they'd been an exit scam they would have just gone silent like so many before them. That they are still around communicating and trying to make the best of a bad situation on so many fronts is a credit to GPUHoarder and his team. Stay tuned to see how this thing plays out.
