Post by: pkmoney on November 21, 2013, 09:55:49 PM
Just came across this. looks interesting.

Saw the ebay listing then i went to the website

Scam. Bitcoin blocks are brute force, and they always will be.

I dunno.. this looks like a legit company.

Their primary business is winning the lottery.
But since the value of lottery pools on any given day is limited.. and the value of bitcoins is pretty much unlimited.. It just seemed like a better idea to make hardware that mines bitcoins rather than win the lottery.

Companies that can win the lottery don't need to run ads on their site. Nor do they need to sell anything, considering they can always just go and win the lottery...

Scam.  A neural net would be terrible at Bitcoin mining. They are just throwing around "tech speak" to lure the uneducated.

If they had anything better than bruteforce for sha2 they would sell the technology secretly to some intelligence agency or use it to break into some online banking systems, etc.

If anyone actually buys this they shouldn't be in the bitcoin game anyway, this is an obvious scam and I hope that people do more research on how bitcoin works and what is needed to mine the currency before they go out and drop 2k on a whim.

DO NOT BUY!

Lulz, sweet Ad. thanks for introducing pete tha zouk to me through that ad & why Nigerian scam artists still can maintain a thriving industry. The way they describe this "BTC neural network ROM" actually reminds me of quantum computing.

Yeah but do you see the value of lotteries going higher than the value of bitcoins?
It doesn't make sense to use all that hashing power to win the lottery when you can get bitcoins.

You're better off buying from a trusted seller, than this story-looking ebay crap.

I work with neural nets on a regular basis and I don't see how this could possibly work.
I vote scam.
