Fancy Website. This is looking like another company to avoid unless someone wants to do the leg work.

So because the company EXISTS and they take BITCOIN they are a scam ? good logic dude ... how do you put your shoes on ? ps : im not defending them, i dont give a damn abt them, but stupidity its irritating ... Title: Re: [ANN] New ASIC Company BitKey Post by: RoadStress on February 06, 2014, 02:07:19 PM Hidden whois, never a good sign. The company exist but it was incorporated 2 days ago... and only take bitcoin. All the signs of a scam are there but it's well done! LOL! They stole KnC's design with 4 boards and same radiators, but with different coolers. And of course if they have the PCBs and the chip how come there is no real proof of a device mining? SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! Title: Re: [ANN] New ASIC Company BitKey Post by: Zaghomat on February 06, 2014, 02:13:36 PM From experience all the website with hidden whois and only taking payment in bitcoin turned out to be a scam. I think there is not one exception to this.
That the company only exist for 2 days doesn't inspire me confidence indeed. Someone else can dig up a little but I'm already 95% convinced it's a scam. Title: Re: [ANN] New ASIC Company BitKey Post by: Easy2Mine on February 06, 2014, 02:27:34 PM Scam.
2.8 TH with 4 chip. 1680 watt/4=420 watt per module 700 GH per chip with air cooling, not possible. Unless it make more noise than BFL singles. Title: Re: [ANN] New ASIC Company BitKey Post by: viriat0 on February 06, 2014, 02:33:04 PM Video?
Title: Re: [ANN] New ASIC Company BitKey Post by: bitcoinultra on February 06, 2014, 04:23:42 PM Looks like a scam, since it has only just been registered as a limited company 2 days ago so who paid for the R&D?
Just for everyone's information the company was registered by a Richard Brown who hasn't disclosed his address to companies house and is the only company share holder Title: Re: [ANN] New ASIC Company BitKey Post by: sredma on February 08, 2014, 08:54:07 AM Scam. 2.8 TH with 4 chip. 1680 watt/4=420 watt per module 700 GH per chip with air cooling, not possible. Unless it make more noise than BFL singles. Everyone better cancel your KnCMiner Neptune pre-order right away, must be a scam - because when looking at the specs of the new KnCminer: 3 TH with 4 Chip 2000 watt/4 = 500 watt per module 750 GH per chip with air cooling, not possible. Unless... wait.. maybe it's possible ? What is with some members bashing every single company that pops up, you got scammed previously ? tough luck, maybe utilize your head next time.

What is with some members bashing every single company that pops up, you got scammed previously ? tough luck, maybe utilize your head next time. this spec is possible with 20nm chip, but i'm dubious about bitkey obtaining their spec with 28nm. they have done their research tho, and I'm saying at this point - a clever scam. We'll need to see a video of a prototype running, and web interface showing correct specs. A genuine product launch will always open up all payment methods possible. don't touch this with BTC.

No Streetview of their front door, that i can find
I'm going to town in a few days anyway for a punch-up, hope to have time to drop in. But we need less of a newb/clueless than me to go as well. Surprised there's not more of a stir. is it obvs.scam or keep it to yourself territory? Title: Re: [ANN] New ASIC Company BitKey Post by: ukmining on February 08, 2014, 02:00:22 PM 100% Scam
