Scams usually don't show that much transparency I've been following this discussion since it initially started in December on thebitcoin.pub and for me this is definitely not a scam, if you're in for some reading check out this link https://thebitcoin.pub/t/build-your-own-asic-miner/14173/182.

I'm following the discussion on Slack and Telegram on a daily basis and I must say I'm really exited about this.
