Due to reasons I will not explain here further (ask me in private),
Poseidon keyfiles cannot be bought after 01-Aug-03. People having just
bought an USB card, that does not come with an OEM Licence, have the
chance to register Poseidon until the end of this month.
Support for existing users is NOT affected and will continue as usually.
It is recommended that dealers stop selling USB cards without licence to
avoid angry customers buying an useless piece of hardware, until the
vendor delivers his own software solution or the situation is solved
somehow.

Poseidon licencing ceasing on 01-Aug-03 : Comment 41 of 94 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Rat on 21-Jul-2003 21:20 GMT | In reply to Comment 40 (Felix Schwarz): @Felix Schwarz,
> The fact, that your keyfile is no longer valid goes hand in
> hand with the fact that you - if I remember correctly - have
> received a refund. Why did you not mention this?
This is a lie. I have NEVER got any refund.
I bought the keys straight from Chris Hodges. I paid 20 EUR. After a few month Chris Hodges switched my keys off.
After several weeks from his switching off my keys, I filed complaint against Chris Hodges in the German trade federation. They deal with dishonest sellers. I will inform the public here about the results of this case.
> Why did you not mention, WHY is has been invalidated?
Chris Hodges has NEVER given any clear reasons for switching off my keys, although I asked him several times.
He wrote in his official statement: 'Nevertheless, this is a free update for all registered and licenced users except for one. This "Rat" has to stick to the old version. Support is something bilateral.'
And here is the complete post by Chris Hodges: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/highway_usb/message/668
Chris Hodges switched off my keys right AFTER I indicated wrong descriptions in the Algor card specs, produced by his friend, Michael Boehmer.
I wrote about it in ann.lu: http://www.ann.lu/comments2.cgi?view=1048415560&category=news&start=1&29
and in the Highway_usb list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/highway_usb/message/667
Finally, Michael Boehmer must have found the error in the Algor specs, which incorrectly suggested that it was a USB 2.0 standard controller.
In his manual for Algor cards (http://www.e3b.de/usb/soft/al_manual.pdf) he does not write any more that it is compliant with the USB 2.0 specification, but that it is compliant with USB 2.0 devices, which is OK.
> Why do you have to drop to the level of personal insult
> (or have you always been at that level)?
I have been cheated by a dishonest seller. Still, I am rather very polite, am not I?
> Why do you keep making incomplete cites
You are wrong. I posted the parts of the texts answering the asked questions. Links are given to complete texts for references. Why are you suggesting that I have done something wrong? What is your intention?
> and try to throw mud at Chris whenever you have a chance to?
I know Chris Hodges as his client and I know what he is worth. I think others should also be warned against his unfair games.
> What are your motives to do so? Do they have anything to do with the topic?
Sure, my posts include clear responses to reproaches given here.
> I personally can't tell. All I can say is that you should think
> about that questions and why you don't like the answers.
Be clear please and explain what you mean.
> In any way, Rat, you have finally disqualified you with your
> statements here and I recommend everybody to just ignore any
> subsequent postings - it's a waste of time and energy.
For me it is rather you discrediting yourself with all these public insults against me. |
