Title: http://www.asic-technologies.com is a SCAM
Post by: BecomingPhill on September 18, 2013, 09:02:14 AM
Anyone who's thinking of buying anything from them. Don't. Just lost 7.4 BTC being a real airhead. save yourself the trouble.

Can we add a scam board to the top already. I know I should have done my homework but if there was a page listing all untrustworthy entities users have encountered that could only be a good thing.

yes you are quite right, went straight for the blades page through google didn't even check the front page to see how dumb the pic of the ASIC rig with headphone plugs was. I know and you are right again I should have stuck to waiting on reply from trusted seller, it was one of those brain fart situations. It was a genuine if somewhat stupid mistake. I won't make it again. EVER.

That's def. a different site from about a month ago. Not sure if its the same peeps.

Red flag from their site:

Shipping now

3.1-3.3 GHash/sec   – 1 BTC / $300 – 110 nm chip

9.3-9.9 GHash/sec   – 3 BTC / $800 – 65 nm chip

27.9 -29.7 GHash/sec – 9 BTC /$1400 – 65 nm chip

83.7 -89.1 GHash/sec – 14 BTC /$1800 – 65 nm chip

251.1 -267.3 GHash/sec – 30 BTC /$3800 – 28 nm chip




Huh? One BTC is going for $300 now? How come I didn't get the memo?  ???

I've got some extra BTC if anyone wants me to sell it to them for $300/ea. Heck! I'll even buy extra just for you!

Be nice.  Show some compassion.  

BTW, I was scammed by Avalon/Yifu gang, and it was not because I'm dumb.
In April, Yifu was considered "Jesus walking on water" by pretty much everyone here.  
Nobody thought he would scam anyone.  

Well, he did scam me and many others, much smarter people than you and I combined.

I found the payment address where you sent your BTC to, your 7.4 was deposited to his address:

https://blockchain.info/address/1ibY2cWoEYFVM2bRXaNVm2brBD1uvrjUg

then 4 hours later he moved them to: https://blockchain.info/address/1GZ4tmYfmPraXasbEP5s2yGurVjFGnKzP

then 2 hours later to : https://blockchain.info/address/1Ed9fffb8wvfsxp5kvNDcXLjcvxN4Bf43V

1 hour later he moved it to an address which has has received 734btc in total https://blockchain.info/address/1FCENEkkw45bhXZmW4ih74SR659CC5B2Le

from there it goes everywhere, I stop looking....

wow thats alot of btc . Are you 100 % u been scammed. I thought i had been but then 5 weeks later my block errupter arrived kinda . Got a note saying extra postal charges due . payed it . Got errupter eventually.
i think maybe he/she is a crappy reseller , no caring which orders he meets . i worry that i only got my errupter to make me spend more next time .but maybe im paranoid .

This is exactly what I discovered upon reading the plight in the Scam Section.

I'm surprised there wasn't a printer port next to the audio port.
