Title: Anyone know this hw miner seller?
Post by: steunet on January 04, 2014, 08:58:27 AM
Hi,
i 'd like to buy an usb miner from this seller:
http://bitcoin-world.net/
but I haven't found any info on the net about them and in the web site there is no address.
The price seems low, but they only accept bitcoin payment so it's impossible to have money back if they will send nothing.

What do you think? Has someone bought something from them ?

Thnx
Ste

An update: i just asked them, by contact form, about payment security and they immediately answered they use:
https://bitpay.com

I don't know it but it seems like a paypal/escrow, this could be a sign of seriousness.

In any case searching on aliexpress, I found  it's possible to find cheaper usb miner (not the erupter one but the ones >1.6 gh/S), considering that on bitcoin-world they ask 0.1 bitcoin, at the quotation of today (620€/bitcoin),.

Their risk is zero. Effort to create site minimal. How many people do they need to scam to earn a profit? One probably. Maybe two.

It's a clone of asic-market.com, take a look at this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=308982.0
