Title: Was lurking... 3TH ASIC Rig in the making??
Post by: BTCMiners.net on July 25, 2013, 05:45:52 AM
Was lurking 4chan.  Came across this:

http://boards.4chan.org/g/res/35514390

SO FAR, it's Bitcoin related.  But it's 4chan, so I cannot promise it will stay Bitcoin related....  we'll just assume it's NSFW just to play it safe, but it is in the technology area, which generally isn't /b/ ha

EDIT: In case you don't want to visit 4chan, the website it www.xenergylabs.com

xEnergyLabs Gen4 ASIC systems has been working tirelessly to reverse engineer current ASIC technologies. Without getting into an in-depth theoretical possibility of what is out currently and what our ASIC systems are capable of; be sure they will be affordable, scalable and easy to upgrade with minimal expense.

Of course our systems will have a price tag attached to them competitively compared to other comparable models from other competitors, we are reaching a level of dedication to achieve nothing less than to leave other manufacturers behind in technology.

Sounds like a scam.

Why "reverse engineer current ASIC technologies"?
Gen4, really? We are not even at Gen2 yest. :)
"competitively compared to other comparable models from other competitors" - that were a lot of words beginning with "con"... sorry, "com"
All in all, just a lot of airy wording. We've heard more concrete promises from BFL, and see where it got us. ;)

In case you don't want to visit .....

the Abyss of the Internet,
Now it's gone .. and on Drupal ??
assuming a Scam Attempt, if you call xenergylabs they probably don't know what are you talking about.

Gen1[CPU]<Gen2[GPU]<Gen3[FPGA]<Gen4[ASIC] :)

That aside, given ASIC specifications already exist in public space, can't imagine any need to "reverse engineer" anything like it is a lost technology or something.

Seems like wishful thinking to me more than anything, unless they have a Buy button for their ghost rig I didn't see then yes it would be a scam probably.
