Press releases are being distributed only in Japan. I think Scam, but what do you think?

Started selling "PHXMiner" FPGA mining machine realizing low power consumption
https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000001.000038767.html (https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000001.000038767.html)

KEYHITECH CORPORATION (Location: Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture Saitama City, Representative Director: Ichiro Junichi) recently released FPGA Mining Machine, PHXMiner (manufacturer), which can greatly reduce the power consumption associated with virtual currency mining, : Inforich Taiwan) as a domestic general selling agency in Japan.



For virtual currency mining recently, it consists of ASIC and GPU-centric machines. Various problems such as rise of Diffie Kality, hard fork, decrease in mining fee, electricity bill, place etc are remarkable.
The FPGA machine we sell is compatible with ETH mining, especially with low power consumption of 100 W or less, high hash rate (best effort) of 250 Mh / s, compactness, promising due to updates, and conventional ASIC, GPU We will solve the problem.

[Mining available currency]

ETH mining is possible.
ETC mining can be done by updating, even at the time of POS which is a future concern.

[Realization of low power consumption]

PHXMiner's software program realized low power consumption by maximizing I / O throughput and minimizing memory storage.
Specification value: 100 W or less
* We are carrying out pilot operation in Japan and recorded the approximate value of 80W.


[High Hash Rate]

PHXMiner is a product developed and continued to research more than before block chain technology was developed.
It was researched and developed on the artificial intelligence algorithm and network security engine, and realized a high hash rate by a unique calculation method.
Specification value: 250 Mhs (best effort)
* Since we are conducting pilot operation in Japan, actual mining data etc can be provided so please inquire.

[Correspondence to hard fork]

PHXMiner is a mining machine using FPGA. FPGA stands for Field Programmable Gate Array, which is simply a rewritable integrated circuit.
By updating the software program, we can respond to hard forks and prolong the operation lifecycle of our products.

[Reliable Triple Safety (Manufacturer's Warranty + KEYGUARD + Soft Update)]

In addition to 180 days manufacturer's regular warranty, we cooperate with the insurance company to extend our 2 year extended warranty as KEYGUARD +. Together with the above hard fork correspondence it is possible to have long-term operation with a guarantee of triple with confidence.


* Currently similar products of PHXMiner and equivalent specification products are sold in Japan,
I think that the domestic authorized sales company of this product is only our company and other products are parallel import goods
Please keep in mind that it is.

Hi.
I'm Japanese ASIC reseller.
Yesterday, I went to KEYHITECH and CEO Hara show me PHXminer.
First, I think PHXminer is scam too, but this is not scam!!!

I took few photo. Please check these.

Machine is already start selling for company.
If everyone interest in PHXminer, I go to KEYHITECH again and get more information. ;)

Well, well, well... Look at this warm fresh noobies intrigued/shill combo for scam announcing.  ::)

Indeed. Fascinating anatomy of a scam - create basic website, issue press release (pay for wire publication), then 'mention' on relevant Reddits and forums. Next step, take deposits, pre-orders, then...

They had pictures and even videos
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3628532.0
How it ended up is history...

Well, if I were in Japan I would check them out. I even speak japanese so that might be handy.
The website seems legit and the FPGA part doesn't seem to be the primary focus of the company.
Company goes back to 2013 according the website and it's listed on the Japan company registry but since 2015 https://nihoncorp.com/co/9030001098840
Main office address matches Jp registry and website (Kamikizaki in Saitama prefecture)

This page seems to imply they can provide a sample machine

Mhh...
I have no idea prove PHXminer isn't scam more  :-\

I filmed video working PHXminer...

Sorry for my broken English!!

SCAMではないかと言う証拠はBCTのトップ登録者にサンプルを送る事。もし日本に住んでたら頼みますけど、今フランスにいる

Best way to prove it's not a scam would be for them to send a sample to a BCT top member.

If these FPGA machines, which give 250 Mh/s with a consumption of 100 watts, are true, then Ether and other cryptocurrencies that are using Ethash algorithm can be quickly killed due to the centralization of the network in the hands of the holders of such devices.

CEO Hara said "If Ethereum change PoW to PoS, PHXminer easy to OTA update and able to mine Ethereum Classic"
And that OTA update is free.

I believe him so I will buy PHXminer.

u should buy it when u was there first time ... :P
after u buy it let us know about your experience

I shouldn't do this, but...
I have idea how to prove You're scam amateur.
First of all - look at the thread's first and second message structure (intrigue and shill messages). They are structured in same way, same spacing between paragraphs, same bold sizing.
Same person. Why will someone ask questions and respond by himself?
So "hatoya",... get the shill out of here...  >:(

This. Also, even if it's all true and they could ship it tomorrow, you'd still only gross 2.50 dollars a day before electric. That's a pretty slim promise for the potential risk of it all being highly imaginary.

Okay.
I will buy PHXminer and come back this thread.
Then I report scam or not, please ready for laughing out loud ;)
I hope PHXminer is not scam...

good luck, oh thanks...

At least you live in Japan and the business and company address are registered.

Don't hesitate to give us some news on your purchase

I am happy to do a review of the machine to validate the credibility of these guys

OP is not related to the vendor. You have to contact them by mail or phone (probably better if you speak japanese or know someone who speak japanese as japanese people really suck at foreign language)

I orderd 10 units PHXminer and arrive this month!!
Ofcourse already paid money...I believe KEYHITECH isn't scam.

Ok 5 activity newbie, who just registered on November 28th to tell us about this great product.

Let us know how it goes, btw pictures and videos would be the most helpful.

How much did you pay because pricing is not even on the website !

Hey!!

I will get PHXminer on this Friday.
I go to KEYHITECH, and recieve one unit then.

BTW, I cant tell you PHXminer's price, cuz I'm like super early bird.
So this is little special thing.

I will show you my PHXminer in this weekend.
Steay tunes :)

Hi there!!

Finally, I got PHXminer!!

PHXminer has unstable network issues yet, but this is not scam.
I'm so happy!!

Happy new holiday :)
If you want to see my PHXminer, I will show you my PHXminer realtime broadcasting(youtube live or twitch.tv...)


P.S.
Default 8cm x 2 fan is very noisy, so I removed that and just put on Thermaltake's 20cm big fan lol.

I am happy to review if it is real

Why the big black circle on the fan model ? What is the point hiding this information ?

Nope :)
I'm just gentle man so hide brand name :)

My PHXminer moved to under the my desk.
Very quiet than ASICs!!

Your style of writing just double confirm to me that this is a scam... ::)

Mhhhhh.... :(



This is my PHXminer's dashboard URL in Ethermine.

Please check me :p

Hi :)

My PHXminer got latest firmware today and improve some mining stability.

Hashrate is arround 200-250MH/s and used power about 25-26W.

So good ;D

I d love these miners for our farm. I wrote to KEYHITECH for a bulk order, but for sure thay have to send a sample before. I ll keep you updated

With all these n00b accounts that have it in hand and are making cash hand over fist why would they need a legit member to vouch for them? Lol

I mean, they have pictures!!! It MUST be real

hahahahah....

Pictures that look like a partially-disassembled air purifier, shot in the dark at funny angles, at that.

Starts reminding me of the DwarfMiner scam....

You just reopened a wound here... :(
Dwarfminer was a very well orchestrated scam. Photos, videos, website, lowish price, right time when the whole FPGA talks were going on... even paypal was accepted in the beginning to give it more legitimacy.

This is just amateurish crap.
