Title: New Manufacture Hashcoins
Post by: newminer3 on April 28, 2014, 04:22:05 AM
http://www.hashcoins.com/

I Came across this site, and they have some pretty decent pricing.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this company or has received any of their miners?

It seems they are based in Europe, in Tallinn Estonia?

Hashcoins LLC Contact:
Tartu maantee 43, 10128, Tallinn
Tel:+372 58 738 066, Mail: info@hashcoins.com

They have a 2.4 terrahash miner.

• Contains (3) 28nm ASICs
• Performance: 2100 GH/s at nominal clock speed. (That’s 2,1 TH/s in one mining unit.)
• At the wall, this unit consumes 1 watt per gigahash +/- 20%
• Chassis: Corsair Graphite 230T
• Corsair Hydro Cooling System
• 1 Internal High performance Corsair power supplies
• Connects via USB to a computer of your choice running cgminer (a “control unit”, see below)

Chip Specifications
• 28nm ASIC
• Power Consumption at the chip: less than 0.65 W/GH/s +/- 15%
• Designed to be underclocked for greater efficiency, and overclocked for greater performance*

Anyone know if they are legit?

Can't say I know either which way from those threads (there's more, just google.) - but their terms are pretty strict;
HashCoins shall have no obligations for breach of warranty if the alleged defect or non-conformance is found to have occurred as a result of environmental or stress testing, misuse, neglect, improper installation, accident or as a result of improper repair, operation at voltages other than as specified by HashCoins, use with equipment other than that sold by HashCoins, operation in an ambient temperature other than 5-22 degrees Celsius (40-72 degrees Fahrenheit), alteration, modification, storage, transportation or improper handling.
(emphasis mine)
Definitely not a 'home' miner unless you've got a decent AC unit.  I suggest continuing in one of the existing threads, though.

That clause would be invalidated by most local legal systems, you're not allowed to sell a product into a market with unviable operating clauses.

As I work few kilometers away from their location, I contacted them last week, offered to give them a visit and a do a review of a miner.

They said they contact me next week, this mean week that started with 28th April being Monday.

First to break $3.5 GH/s barrier. Fastest chips on the planet.

I would stay away.

Yes this is a standard scam "release" format for these forums:

Create scam, create new account, post a link to scam - making yourself sound trustworthy by asking "is this a scam?"

It works because even injecting doubt can't prevent people being fooled.

I was contacted by them to stop by during this weekend, but unfortunately I'm unable to do that. Their representative will leave to Russia on Monday, so I need to wait him to return I guess, to try again...

EDIT: Although I feel sceptical about their hardware, will see.. sometime near future..

And even if they are not a scam - you can get equipment from established manufacturers for less money now without having to preorder.

Their B2 will be shipping relatively soon, I'll let you know if I receive anything.

Read, and make up your own mind: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=417623.0
( and, again, I suggest continuing the discussion in that thread - it's the main thread about the company, it doesn't appear to be malignantly moderated, etc. )
