With your electricity deduction, using S9's, it seems like a zero sum game at the moment.

They actually claim to have sold 106, including one on E Bay for $500. 
Their on line store wallet shows no transactions, however...
With the big difficulty leap and the weak BTC price, people are getting a bit desperate for the next Gen^R miners and in danger of thinking uncritically about supposed new machines.
There may well be improved miners being used by their manufactuers prior to general availability, it has probably always been so with ASICs, but Asgard ain't one of them.

Haha yeah, for sure.
We have a new "merit system" tho, please accept a point from me for starting this thread and, you never know, over the years saving some noobs some money that was burning a hole in their pockets.

I wouldn't hold too much hope, Dias Kurmanov announced that he's off to spend some of that $8m on hookers and blow going to have a well earned vacation and is leaving media contact in the hands of "Misha and Vadim".
If they decide to delete any of my (unanswered) questions, I'll just repost them here.

I also read on Telegram today that the 500 S9's are
and therefore should be online soon, heating up the cave, not doing much else.

A small selection from your posts which have escaped deletion.
These are referred to as shit posts or spam, they add no value to the discussion and are routinely deleted by moderators under official anti spam policy.
Post when you have something of interest to say, not just for the sake of increasing your post count, probably to get some sats/exposure for your signature (which doesn't work).
Shape up or ship out. (google it)

I think it was obvious sarcasm too. Invisible on the Internet to some people, apparently.

You guys know NFW best, does he usually reply to pm's?
I realize he doesn't know me, does he ignore ppl he doesn't know?

I sent him two headed "ASGARD", no reply, the first one way back, when my "he's not who he says he is" post was deleted and he posted the original 'positive' message.
Strangely 19 minutes after I sent that, he went to the post and edited it into a fucking eulogy, by adding the bolded bit.


And then, after my second message basically asking "WTF?", he added the visible edit, winding his neck in a bit.

And, in the middle of it all, we had that Cloudflare weirdness. (And ironically ended up with Theymos, who allegedly wouldn't know how to plug a miner in, multiple quoting a self modded thread by a [probable] scammer.)
Given the hilarity of it all, my vote from Phillip's list
A weak suggestion for option
E ?
NFW was pissed up when he made the first post. I understand that there's lots of hopes for new toys soon in the mining world and maybe he posted a bit indiscreetly.
Some jumped up "scam buster" pisses him off by pm'ing, out of the blue, with a picture of a guy on a Russian dating site, so he thinks "I'll make it clear I think that's FUD, not a red flag" and edits to "Yey, suckers, I know what I'm talking about." level.
Gets second pm from me and reads the circling vulture posts (thanks QS) and thinks "Oh, fuck I wish I hadn't had that second bottle" and edits yet again, to back peddle.
Currently not daring to come on line for 24 hours (although it is Sunday), thinking "Oooops....how do I get myself out of this?"

Or maybe not.

 

Aaah "Stefan", Head of PR Department.
Good looking young man from his picture.
Unfortunately they removed it as well as "Josef Head of Sales" photograph. Maybe they read my post about him not really being "Josef Head of Sales" but a chap from Odessa called Roman, on the Valet.ru. site, before they deleted it.
But actually, they didn't quite delete "Stefan", 'cos if you look closely at the Jivo window there's a thumbnail of him, which searches back to... Valet.ru.




Is this is where all these people hang out?

I'd have thought they would have been listed here then, along with the sixteen other businesses at that address?
But no.
Just moved in, I guess. Or smth.

I think that might be irony, maybe trying to point out the absurdity of the Asgard claims whilst not getting self modded.
But just my opinion...

Hahaha, I see -ck has posted in the self mod thread


Will they delete a moderator's post, one merited by the other mod? 
Whatever happens with this particular scam, I would hope it will be a watershed for depriving newbies of self moderation in the future.

It's getting a bit messy (in more ways than one) here, because of the slight red herring regarding the Cloudflare software being triggered.
I don't believe that the ASGARD people have or could have the ability to prevent posts or "block", although they have the ability to delete  and exercise it non stop.
Here's a cross post from Meta to bring that up to date.
I would very much like to understand NotFuzzyWarm's position regarding his endorsement of this ASGARD scheme, but he neither responds to pm's or subsequent posts.

This is correct. I've pm'd him twice to aware him of the red flags but he hasn't responded. I have started a scam accusation thread regarding ASGARD.
Bizarrely, NFW's original post (two versions ago) read


I pm'd him to tell him that the identity mismatch I had noticed and posted about had been self modded.
Very shortly after that he edited the post to include the bolded


That really confused me. Even if he didn't rate the evidence of stolen photos (since deleted) how could it make him even more supportive??

The third edit is the addition of the back pedal phrase


He still has not acknowledged my pm's.
Strange.

Anyway, getting rather off this topic now, the Scam Accusation thread continues, and I'll lock this one.
Thanks for the inputs guys.

Yes, I was attempting to quote (for record) NotFuzzyWarm's post in this thread. Even previewing that quoted post, I got the Blocked notification.
I have since retried by removing each component of the post separately, and still get it.
You have a go.

Edit: Bizarrely NFW has just (04.59:14) edited the post, but it still cannot be quoted without the Block notification appearing at preview stage.
Surely, if the term was blacklisted then it would have been picked up in the original post?

105 sales so far (106 including the E Bay one) claimed. Apart from the E Bay bargain, all 105 presumably bought thru their "online store".
So naturally, when you go to checkout, they provide their address



But

I haven't no, I'm not banging my head on a wall.
I'm just going to wreck them instead.

I've asked in Meta about the "block" msg.

Screenshot from phillipma1957 posted here


Both phillipma1957 and I got this screen when attempting to post (negatively) in a self moderated thread here. Look here for the reasons for the attempted posting.

What's going on? No other page access was affected.

Allowing newbies self moderated threads has got to stop, it's a fucking joke.

Did you get a "You are blocked from posting on Bitcointalk.org" page come up?
Both phillipma1957 and I did.
There is something going on here that I don't quite understand.
And it's not good.

Once I get a response from the legendary member that edited his post into a virtual endorsement (after being pm'd by me of my misgivings) I will post further.

It wasn't the actual symbol to which I referred, it was the rendering/'shopping appearance of it and their name on the case.

There is also this, an E-Bay 'transaction'.
A month old new account, NY based, sells one of their "double" model miners for $500, because E Bay won't let them charge any more than that for it.
Of course, what genius marketing from a multi national company that has just released a product that destroys the current opposition in a sector awash with money looking to be spent!
Sell them one at a time on E Bay at a loss.... 

Have a close look at the logo, too.
