Title: LSM Labs Post by: asmodelle on April 24, 2014, 02:37:31 AM This is a thread about a new mining manufacturer called LSM Labs.
The site is at this address: https://lsm-labs.com (https://lsm-labs.com) They have listed: Pandora 3 TH/s ASIC Miner $7,199 USD Delivery by 21st May 2014 As well as other machines. They seem cheap and the delivery time looks very early - this prompted me to put up a few red flags in another post, which has been moved to this thread. 1) Their domain name is cloaked. 2) They said they will process BTC payments through a 3rd party Escrow (VC-Escrow.com), they too have their domain cloaked. 3) The address seems generic - but this not unusual. 4) LSM Labs Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“LSMLabs”), how is this different from other companies, what recourse do mining facilities have for refunds with such a company? 5) There were stock images of two members of the team but these have since been removed. And it seems it was done by the website designer. I did write to the website and received an email response but I am not sure it was a friendly one. I invite staff of LSM Labs to respond to this message and explain why we haven't heard of this company before? Where is the Reddit and Bitcointalk promotion? Are LSM Labs going to tell us what assurances mining companies have that their products will be delivered???? Does anyone have any experience with this company and if so was it a positive one??? Title: Re: LSM Labs Post by: notlist3d on April 24, 2014, 05:23:13 AM I always find it amazing when new people find a new site selling questionable product.

Other than sending money in to a black hole, no. Nobody has had any experience with them. Too bad these scammers are going to have to buy a new domain name and try again.

looked at their site you can't get a hold of them sometimes email 'extremely busy" you can't visit their offices I mean come on guys...as a scam operation you are not really trying your best imho if they we're legit they'd send someone a miner to test....but from looking at their web site I'd be flabbergasted if they did so..and that includes another companies miner with the logo changed... as a scam site I give it only 1 star out of 5 stars...you are pulling down the other scammer sites with this weak attempt imho they are just going thru the motions quality where is the quality in your work ....(kids these days) Searing Title: Re: LSM Labs Post by: RoadStress on April 24, 2014, 10:33:19 AM This is a thread about a new mining manufacturer called LSM Labs.

Shipping on 21 is a big lie. If they were shipping on 21 why there are only 3d renders on the site? They must have at least the chips in hand by now. BIG SCAM!

Title: Re: LSM Labs Post by: Zelek Uther on April 24, 2014, 11:42:20 AM Another fairly slick looking scam website.
Reasonable effort on the renders, but they are all obviously renders... no photos of anything. But what's up with the HUGE rack ears, and the MASSIVE holes in them? Looks so bizarre (https://lsm-labs.com/pandora). It's almost as if the person who drew the renders has never seen a real rack-mount server. Absolutely no details about the ASICs... they don't claim to have designed their own ASICs, and they don't say they use an existing ASIC. Smells fishy. If they said they used an existing ASIC, it would be easy to check with that manufacturer to see if "LSM Labs" had purchased any chips. If they had details of their own ASIC, experts here on the forum would take them apart pretty quick because it's hard to fake that level of technical detail. Maybe that's why they are side-stepping the issue? I listened to the Media section, which is a 5 min audio segment claiming to be an interview with Forbes Asia. Two guys with radio voices reading from a script, sounding a bit like a short infomercial. Why not take an amateur phone-cam video of the miner hashing? Show us the hashrate at a pool? The money they spent setting up a web site and recording the scripted "interview" will be recouped by the first sucker to send pre-order money in. Everything after that is gravy. This sort of thing makes me sick. Title: Re: LSM Labs Post by: gdrake on April 27, 2014, 11:24:15 PM Thanks for your post. My name is Garry Drake and I am the CEO of LSM Labs. In reply to the questions you have posed below:
1. Our domain registrant information is cloaked as this is the default option on the Namecheap checkout when purchasing domain names and its a free option for the first 12 months. I myself was unaware that it was cloaked until you brought it to my attention and I have requested our web administrator to rectify the situation as fast as possible. 2. Whilst I can't speak for the escrow site we are using (www.vc-escrow.com), as I mentioned above, domain cloaking is a default option in many domains registrants. We are the only mining company that is providing an escrow service to our customers and VC Escrow is the only escrow company that allows us to hedge the movement of Bitcoin prices throughout the time to delivery. You have to remember that by putting funds into escrow before products are delivered potentially puts us at risk if the Bitcoin price drops within the delivery period. By providing this 3rd party escrow service, we provide our customers with the assurance that their products will be delivered as we are not in control of the funds. 3. Our head office is in Wilmington Delaware. I am not sure why this is generic. 4. We are incorporated in BVI for tax reasons, but our head office is in the US. We are completely transparent about our operations, we understand that delivery times are one of the greatest concerns for our customers and have provided customers with a delivery guarantee that they are able to receive a refund on their purchases or receive a further 20% discount if we are late on a delivery. 5. Our web designer has inadvertently used stock images as a placeholder for two of our staff as they were in the process of getting professional photos taken. We only just launched our new products and new website this week and I was not aware that this page had not been updated. We will update this page in due course. We have only just started rolling out our products so we haven't had a chance to start promoting our products on Bitcoin Talk and other forums (you beat us to it). Anyhow, we have had many happy customers purchase our products and over the next few weeks the word will surely spread that we have the best miners in the industry and we deliver on time. Title: Re: LSM Labs Post by: xstr8guy on April 27, 2014, 11:30:18 PM Really?! Why waste time and energy with professional photos? You won't impress anyone in this community with glossy photos unless it's photos of your miners being assembled and hashing.
Another questionable "company" with no flippin' clue. ::) Title: Re: LSM Labs Post by: bclcjunkie on April 28, 2014, 12:45:44 AM it's all bs until you prove to us all by using escrow with bitcointalk mods... vc-escrow.com looks as shady as your website...

Quote Despite the recent introduction of its new batch of ASICs, the company has already sold out one of its product lines, the Cyclops 600 GH/s. Priced at $3,333 the Cyclops 600 GH/s was one of the most affordable ASICs available in the industry and its superior performance has been compared to many systems that are far more costlier. Now available is the ASIC miner Medusa 1.2 TH/s priced at a competitive rate of $3,199. The Pandora 3 TH/s is also available and is LSM Lab’s best Bitcoin mining product as far as performance is concerned providing 3 T/H at an affordable price of $7,199.

Googling for LSM labs also turns up no results from these media outlets that have supposedly written about them.

http://bitcoinmagazine.com/12570/crossing-borders-bitcoin/ Quote Will Weenstra oversees operations at LSM Labs (https://lsm-labs.com), which manufactures some of the fastest and most efficient Bitcoin and Litecoin miners in the world. He contributes regularly to various cryptocurrency-focused publications, eager as he is to bring his industry perspective to the community as a whole. Quote Crossing Borders for Bitcoin by WILL WEENSTRA on APRIL 26, 2014 People usually immigrate to a new country for a variety of sociopolitical reasons, most of which can be summed in the big, capital letter kind of ideas: Freedom. Opportunity. Wealth. Prosperity. To that list I would like Bitcoin and Litecoin. Yes, people are crossing borders for these cryptocurrencies, but it’s not for the reasons you might expect (no one is skipping town after running an exchange scam). Let me explain. As the head of operations at mining manufacturer LSM Labs, I am used to seeing orders for our Bitcoin and Litecoin miners come from all over the world. In fact – just to give you an idea of our global scale – our website can be translated directly into Mandarin for our Chinese customers, who number in the hundreds. Of this fact we are of course proud. We take it as a sign of our company’s success, and in the larger picture, of that of cryptocurrency. What we did not expect was that our miners, in many cases, would actually propel people across the world. We learned of this through one of our earliest customers. Though he consented to inclusion in this article, I will protect his privacy by referring to him as Bob Nakamoto. Places to Go, Bitcoin to Mine Now Bob Nakamoto was one of the first buyers for our now out-of-stock Bitcoin miner, Cyclops. We delivered it to him, as he requested, at his place of residence in Santa Barbara, California. We did not hear from him again until two weeks ago, almost six months later, when he inquired about our new Litecoin miner, Apollo. Bob Nakamoto was happy with its specs (180MH/s) and its price ($5,999), but was wondering if we could deliver it to his current location (Cebu City, Philippines). When we responded in the affirmative, he replied with a general update on why he had moved (perhaps he could sense our curiosity through the screen). His story, which you got the sense he told often, was thus: After receiving our miner Cyclops, he was happy with his returns – its hash rate after all was 600 GH/s, which was high for the time – but wanted to save on the cost of electricity, especially given that he wanted to mine full-time. He therefore started to research where electricity was cheapest in the world. Bob Nakamoto quickly found a list of such cities, but could not see himself living at any one of them. So he switched gears. Instead of looking for a place where electricity was cheap, he began to look for a place where it was cheap to live, period. He reasoned, astutely enough, that even if a place had averages rates for electricity, it could be made up elsewhere. He found this place in the Philippines, which had moderately priced electricity, but had a dirt cheap cost of living (rent, transportation, food, and so on). Naturally, Bob Nakamoto packed his bags, Cyclops included, and soon hopped onto a flight bound for Philippines. There, he found his estimates to be true. It was more lucrative to be a full-time miner in the country, a fact evident in a simple comparison of his housing costs ($1,200 versus $225). Signs of a Trend Bob Nakamoto’s story, it turns out, is not unique. After sending out a call to our customer list to see who else might have moved for mining-related reasons, we had more than several volunteer a response. Some indeed had migrated to countries where electricity was notoriously cheap, while a few others had moved for slightly more personal reasons. For example, one environmentally conscious miner moved to a Scandinavian country because of the greater availability of renewable energy there. These stories are interesting on a human-interest level. After all, who would have ever thought that people would uproot their lives to better support a Bitcoin or Litecoin miner? But these stories also carry with them a symbolic value worth examining further. They show that cryptocurrency does not just represent a kind of economic mobility – in these cases, they are economic mobility. Let's do a little math, shall we? We all love math, that's why we're all here.

Yet, ~6 months ago some bloke in Cali purchased a Cyclops and moved to the Philippines to enjoy a lower cost of living, guaranteeing him a positive ROI with his one bitcoin mining rig.

Quote A growing number of companies are willing to pay their employees entirely in Bitcoin. My firm, LSM Labs (lsm-labs.com), is one of them. That we offer this option at all should come as no surprise: We manufacture miners for both Bitcoin and Litecoin, so offering compensation in cryptocurrency seemed like a natural step.

We will be guaranteeing delivery of our Pandora and Medusa products by 21st May 2014 for all orders purchased on or before 7th May 2014. Our company understands that the biggest frustration with Bitcoin mining hardware companies is their failure to deliver products on time. As Bitcoin mining progressively becomes more difficult over time, this delay in product delivery can have serious ramifications on lost revenue for customers. http://www.forexminute.com/bitcoin/lsm-labs-now-provides-bitcoin-asic-processors-and-systems-29670 Quote LSM Labs has announced that it is now providing a money back delivery guarantee to all customers. It says that for orders before April 30, 2014 the company has promised delivery by May 14, 2014. In its press release the company claims that with increasing demand of Bitcoin ASIC processors and systems, many manufacturers are struggling to supply their customers the products within a fixed time frame; however, with it there is no such issue.
