How much does a kW/h cost you? Also what does  "little troubles" in regards to your internet connection mean? Every second you gote some little troubles with anything that causes you not to mine you loose money.
What did it cost you to get the device (including taxes transportation cost etc.)?
Didn't you do any theoretical calculations before buying it?

little troubles mean that connection looses from time to time. it is because of my location, so i have 2 ways of solving this problem - find a stable internet connection in my location or to to mine in another place  :)

looks like everything other working nice

i pay 18.519 pence per kWh (about $0.30)

price of device $2199

of course i did calculations. i just want to know opinion of experienced people, not calculation   :)

Can you elaborate your calculation, see if others agree?  I keep hearing that diff is too high and too fast and mining is dead... Or risk at your own peril...

But 600Ghs sounds pretty good for the price?  Why so much cheaper than competitors?

That design of the miner is ugly as hell,but that might not even be a working miner so i am putting this down to a scam

Hi FHeizer,
You could tell us about the purchase of the miner?
I was leery of this company opened a topic they are looking for people who bought them and you were the first to receive.

It would be possible to pass the hash of purchase?

I rented only 1GH / s due to mistrust that I have.
If you know someone else who purchased piece that post here.

i have ordered the miner about 2 weeks ago. i would like to buy 2 units, but they had not more available at that moment.
delivery was made on fourteenth day (delayed for 3 days).
miner were packed in pretty safe cardboard packaging.

Sketchy website. Amazing low price for high hashrate. Somehow sold out, but a forum member that joined two days ago claims he has one?

Really fishy if you ask me.

Crazyates:

Until further proof...

I can tell you 100% that this company is either in whole or 90% a scam. Read more here. ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=399608.0 )

Hello FHeizer,
Many of us are concerned about the legitimacy of the company that made your miner.  Would you be so kind as to answer the following?

1) What address was the miner sent from?
2) Could you post pictures of any paper and shipping documents that were included in the shipment?
3) Have you been able to verify that you are getting the 600 GH/s?
4) Could you give us any other details that you think could prove to us that this company is legitimate?

Thanks for your time.

Sorry man, you wont get a reply. They made a new account to come to the forum and post a bogus post to try and get people to google it. I dont know how closely you looked at that device but its actually a powered subwoofer for a computer with a sticker on it. you can find them on Alibaba. i havent seen them in a while but i used to own one.

Thanks TerraHasher, Sadrachss, and sharedminers.  Agreed, it looks to be a scam.

Appreciate it!

yeah, 80% of those are from the UK, looks like they are taking the UK market by storm. Must have another website.

Love it how all the other listed "products" in the website are BFL stuff. Scammers sure know their muppets!  :D
