It does not even have the network cable plugged in :).  I suspect someone has a lcd and pumping numbers on it.

I'm not to worried about this coming to market.  Are they asking for pre-orders?

Did anyone ask about it not even having a network cord in?   I hope people are not preordering that thing.

It'll be a shame if people lose money ordering this.  Let's just hope people do a bit of research on this before losing their dough.

They claim that it has two network interfaces (back & front).

Every miner should have a auto-rotating display :)

Two network interfaces would be nice if you could go from one miner to other.  But I'm sure they are just making it all up.

I can't imagine anyone who would pre-order something like this.

I gotta say those are some of the most boring videos I've seen in a long time.

If it's the same German scam machine I saw pictures of about a month ago, the pictures pretty clearly indicate there's a second ethernet jack on the rear. Not trying to toss in support, just a bit tired of the same invalid point being made a dozen times.

Course with that said, I can really only see one cable going into the top rear machine in that one video, which is probably the power cord.

Anyone with an S4/S4+ can verify 1500 wall watts can be cleared by two sets of 120mm push/pull fans. The real crime with this design is the PSU cooling. Top venting? Really? Gross. I doubt it's a serious product as much for that reason as for their outrageous efficiency claims. I'll be impressed if this thing is a real miner. At least they're learning to build the box instead of trying to sell renders, but when will scammers learn a more realistic product with a more realistic price will get them more sales? Claim to be 20-40% better than current tech and you might convince more people.

With the grilles on 'em I can't really tell how much fan there is. Could be babies. Unless they're good 2-3A server fans, no way they'd be pushing enough air.

stay away, there is no proof on anything.
But imho many indications for a scam

I have offered them to sign a NDA, take a look at the prototype and buy the whole batch if I am satisfied.
They refused the offer with strange arguments. You can draw your own conclusions.

If only this was real! Bitmain would have some much needed competition.
