Hello fellow miners, I came across altcoin guy, owner of http://www.lightningasic.com/ or claiming to be an owner, the info is in skype profile; somehow I mistaken him for gridseed guys; Basically, he offered 12BTC for 200 pcs of gridseed. Here is skype chat log: [3/4/14 10:10:53 AM] altcoin: Hi [3/4/14 10:23:58 AM] altcoin: what do you want?

Chat is a bit weird, but I think that ID was confirmed in a different thread?
Edit: Okay so the ID is legitimate, but the user with the NAME as that is a fraud.
