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.

The exit scam was passing an unproven idea onto customers instead of taking the risk we all thought had happened already.   They went silent here where this whole fiasco originated.  Mineority popped out with the eth enlargement pill as maybe a way to gain trust for this to take hold.  I find nothing out of ordinary when it comes to people finding ways to make money.  I’m sure when litigations start many will have taken snapshots with the way back so they can’t say otherwise.  Right!   I don’t give them any slack. They been around long enough to know how this dog and pony show works. If they didn’t then they didn’t do proper research to know we’ve seen just about every scam in the book play out here.   This is hitting many red flags for me. Either prove it can do what it originally was sold to do or start issuing refunds.  I can’t stand apologists. People making excuses for this shit.  This is basically sidehack 2.0.
