the not so funny thing is... AMT will come on this board and state some more lies soon and everyone will right back at their feet groveling for their miner or refund and kissing their asses.

Like I said...talk is cheap. I agree that might happen. They have consistently not delivered on their promises in this official forum. Even an honest update at this point will be viewed with suspicion until they PROVE they are shipping miners. Honestly they should do what a couple of other mining companies did. BFL and cointerra highlighted a couple of their Pick Up At the office orders and made a blog showing this with pics and all. And maybe a user who is already known on here might go a long way and can vet towards alleviating some of the PR pain they have been dealing with. I'm just saying they could use the positive press because the silence is turning into a potentially costly mess for them.

Actual delivery of hardware will go a long way. That really is the only way for them to regain any credibility with the overall community.

Their supplier Bitmine is having trouble delivering. The revision 3 boards are still 2-3 weeks away.

AMT has inventory that is just sitting there that's not deliverable. They've got photos of the units, but I've never seen a photo of a working unit. At best, they have all the parts and nothing that works!

BTW.... has anyone order just the coincraft A1 chips from them? They've claimed delivery.

If they still have all the parts and chips that would be a best case scenario. At worst Josh did what he said he was going to do in early February.

Hey Guys,

Quick update, chips arrived today and will go to full surface mount and assembly on Tuesday. Hoping to get the first AMT1.2's shipped by Friday.

More to come...

It's entirely possible they assumed the Bitmine design was good and just mounted all the chips onto boards before they realized they were going to have issues.

At $100 per chip? Actually if you have one of those heating elements that focus light, it wouldn't be that messy to remove the chips.

Anyway... this looks like a complete disaster. Clearly they had all those systems ready to be assembled with a whole bunch of staff. Now they got nothing.

Can't you remove the chips even after you surface mount them?

You can, though it can be time consuming and hence expensive. It's generally only viable for the expensive parts though, so if they did that they not only had to pay for assembly, but most of the other parts wouldn't be worth salvaging as it would just be cheaper to rebuy them.
