Post by: Bitcoinorama on May 13, 2013, 04:28:59 PM
Please feel free to pick holes / destroy them before some twit orders from them

http://www.anamurminers.com/

They like eBay too; http://www.ebay.com/itm/63-GH-s-Bitcoin-Miner-SHIPPING-NOW-NOT-PRE-ORDER-/161025749112?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item257de1f078

You could have even have bought discount vouchers from them...

Why would you connect this thing to Ethernet and USB?

Obviously the more you connect to is the faster it will mine,  DUH!!!!

You shouldn't question what you don't understand appears to be the mantra with these scam legit companies.

Quite frankly they are light years ahead! Name me another mining company that has the nous to add a 3.5mm phono jack for headphones!!

It probably plays you positive affirmations whilst you mine...::)

Company's claiming to have a working prototype should in good faith use a payment method like Bitpay to validate their identity and company and location of residence in case of emergencys.

This way they can maintain a level of anonymity for whatever reason while at the same time giving credibility to their claims.

These claims should be considered scams until Identity by a 3rd trusted party has at least been done.

Web site with SSH for domain control verification, company control verification and identity verification is a must.

This is the only way to start such projects.

Anything less is to be avoided and have an automatic scam label attached.

Damn! They've "completely sold" the 50GH/s rack version.

I guess I'll have to go for the cheaper 63GH/s one then. But wait! The 339GH/s one is free right now.

Oh no, it's not "avilable".

lol...love that there is no need for any cooling/fans on their "63 GH/s" model.  Maybe all the heat is dissipated out the two audio jacks?  :D

And yeah, at least go to the trouble of making your own mock-up (the "50GH/s" model) & not stealing a photo of a workstation for your hardware. Fail.

The scammers probably abused name (and address) of an existing company from the Czech Republic. The company is legally registered and listed on Czech business register:

https://or.justice.cz/ias/ui/rejstrik  - just type Anamur Silif in the box

(sorry, AFAIK Czech business register doesn't have an english version)


Edit: full listing: https://or.justice.cz/ias/ui/vypis-vypis?subjektId=isor%3a100180575&typ=full&klic=ccbh1k

I mean in any country you can just wake up one day and decide to make SCAM out of your previously run honest business/company. This "project" is hours old so there still is a chance that company name was abused and FB accound was hijacked... But if it is meant seriously I believe legal action will come soon...

If you do it seriously, you engineer the company's bankrupcy. It all looks legit, you "really tried" but it was "just too much in the end and we had to close the business". In the meantime you paid yourself and your fake suppliers all the cash from the preorders.

It takes a little planning and is probably even safer than these 2bit photoshop scams.

These guys here are more into the shake n bake stuff, they won't pull much and will probably get caught (or get away with it but nobody will care - you'd have to have serious issues to buy into this). BFL, KnC OTOH...who knows what they will really do in the end.

Guys, come on. These guys sold their CARS! If that doesn't prove dedication, I don't know what does! One of them even had to get a job delivering the mail, even though he has the skills to design ASICs.

This shows dedication to the cause, and I for one think they deserve our support. In solidarity, I too am going to sell my car on Ebay, in order to buy more of these miners! Who's with me?

There is one highly suspicious thing.
If you look to the listing of Anamur Silif s.r.o. at https://or.justice.cz/ias/ui/vypis-vypis?subjektId=isor%3a100180575&typ=full&klic=8x96l6,
you can see the change in the owner of the company. The change occured 12th Feb 2013 which seems to be suspicious to me.

Erm my mistake. It's a czech phrase for someone who acts as an owner of the company, but in fact it's only some guy from the street (or any stupid person) who becomes the owner just to face any legal problems for the company. Very often such persons are unavailable at their residential addresses or are foreigners.

What doesn't make sense to me is they're already planning on shipping the 2nd batch.  How come we, collectively, never heard of this shame of a company before and not to mention they're first batch?  Total scam if you ask me.  And for those who actually "donated" money to these people for their "so-called" product.  IMO, they deserve to get scammed.
