Below is a copy of an email I received from Josh on 5/11.
"The technobit option is comparable. There are just more of them. In your case you'd be receiving several little miners instead of 4 large miners. Each miner (small board setup) gets up to 250ghs, so the exchange would be 5 small boards for 1 large miner (again with 5 boards inside of it). The problem with the techobit miner is that they are standalone devices, which means they don't work very well inside a case. So if you dont mine 20 little miners standing next to each other than maybe that's best way to do. We're currently still figuring out the heatsink options for this miner, but most likely we'll be using the existing/original heatsinks the miner comes with. This sink is ordered from an Italian manufacturer but we feel its best to stay with what works rather than alter the existing design and hope for the best/test for a weeks etc.
Let me know if you'd like to go with that route. You'll be receiving everything you need to mine aside from the power supplies. The alternative is to receive 4 units immediately (end of the week) from our factory abroad which is now manufacturing our miners. We can ship directly from there, the ship time will be around 3 days. The miner and design are almost the same as our current 1.2. "
I don't think the boards in the machines pictured are technobit based on the above description. Also notice I was told the miners would ship by the end of the week? (Where have we herd that before.) I can see 2 possibilities. Either they are still trying to get their design working and are repeating all the mistakes they have already made more than once, or more likely they have said "fuck the paying customers, lets get our farm up and running so we can scam more people." Based on the last set of photo's posted.
Also does it seem strange to anyone else that the one under preforming miner that has been posted looks nothing like anything in the pictures posted by AMT.
What a fucking joke this whole mess is.
Edit: My numbers are clearly in the 1st 50% and supposedly shipped on or before the July 14 and still no miner.
