Forget that it defies the Laws of Physics and all current manufacturing capabilities, it is 20Th and only draws 2100 watts -- Most importantly it must be true because its on eBay.  And if I am not mistaken, wasn't that picture used in a 10 Th scam recently.

If this was posted somewhere already let me know and I will delete the thread.. :)

Can't you read man?  It's smart!  3.0 smart.  Like better than the 1.0 and 2.0, man.

So advanced, it needs a lock on the case!

Anyway - MinersLab, so...

That is the one I remembered -- lol

I think they must be using that 2 nm architecture  ;D

I love how the highlighted features are the DVI/HDMI ports to connect your monitor and the USB ports to connect your keyboard and mouse.  Poor dumb bastards that actually place an order for this thing... another day another scam I guess.

I didn't even get that far into reading because I was laughing to hard...now I am actually ROFL

What's kinda odd about this is that in general, there a huge number of buyer protections on Ebay. If somebody buys one and it doesn't get delivered, assuming they use PayPal, they shouldn't lose a dime if it doesn't get delivered. Ebay doesn't do "pre orders" and they they discourage/forbid Bitcoin as a form of payment. I don't understand how the seller expects to serious scam anybody.

Doesn't stop people from openly advertising accepting Bitcoin or readily accepting solicitations from people who want to pay in Bitcoin.

In this case, though, a more likely avenue may be a collusion with 'minerslab'.  The e-bay listing is at $6400.  If somebody were to google around for more information about this machine, they'd find the 'official store' is listing it at $4500.  People inclined to purchasing in the first place may well get pushed into an "omg, what a deal!" mindset and make a purchase right there and then ... with Bitcoin ( or Litecoin or Bank transfer - no credit cards/paypal because 'fraud', of course.  And no visitors because 'industrial espionage'  ::) )

Is it really considered fake? Because looking at the company that produces the product "MinerLab" they were suppose to release a similar product.

The price is considered low for a 20Th/s miner but the power draw is also surprisingly low so it might be fake.

The amount has feedback so I am surprised why they are starting to scam people.

On ebay, positive feedback CAN be faked using dummy accounts and dummy purchases... I guess if you're going to scam a couple of people out of $6000, it's well worth opening a couple fake accounts and doing a couple fake trades to build positive feedback.

did anyone notice ;D ;D ;D

new with factory "warianty"

haha, this guy selling this can't even spell "warranty" correctly.

I actually looked up the add on ebay, if you look at his feedback, you can just smell the scam: http://feedback.benl.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller&userid=bellhu3&iid=151720554599&de=off&items=25&interval=0&mPg=2&page=2

EVERY positive feedback comes from a very cheap sale. There is only one negative feedback, guess what? It was from the only "expensive" item this guy has ever sold, so this account has been used to scam this unlucky dude...

If in doubt buy with paypal!

U can always get ur money back, Hasn't everyone learnt this one from BFL???

Ps i havent even bothered to check the listing as i can smell scam central & until someone proves it otherwise, Im happy right where i am..

We need some 100Th at 500W miners not these ones!

0,005W/GH. Will not happen soon. KnC saying 0,07W/GH with new 16nm process. And newer processes are harder and harder to implement. Maybe in next ten years...

Multiple threads reporting this thing as a SCAM.

 Please don't start new ones.


 P.S. Paypal is in and of itself a SCAM by design, don't trust them. Way too many folks (I am one of them) that have been RIPPED OFF BY PAYPAL.

Just for your information: this thread was started in july, it was one of the first ones. Somebody just started replying on an old thread ;)

Looking to get ripped OFF buy this :) .

I will be honest with you.  I could use a good ripping off today.

Did somebody say ripoff?  http://o.aolcdn.com/dims-shared/dims3/GLOB/crop/628x393+0+0/resize/250x156!/format/jpg/quality/85/http://o.aolcdn.com/hss/storage/midas/5be5699e0f86e4b6b48fd664f7a1bd87/201063060/Shut-up-and-take-my-money-628.jpg

I missed the date on the original posting, so let me rephrase.

 Can we stop resurrecting ancient zombie threads?
