A few months now, and around 500 GH/s total between my own hardware (~350) and some other ventures (~150).
Run my own hardware through a Rasp Pi with MinePeon other than a couple of USB miners I got when I first started to check it out - just got those on a hub on my Win7 PC.
I kind of wanted to start a small GPU mining farm, but with the talk of ASICS coming soon to do scrypt mining I feel like it might be too late now, and might be better to wait.

If you get electricity cheap (I do where I live as well - very near to nuclear power plant), then maintenance would probably be your biggest expense.
If you are intending to have shareholders on your mining operation, then you'll want to ensure as close to 24/7/365 uptime as possible.

So what are you basing your accusation off of that this is a scam?
Because of the whois readout? Did you miss this part of that readout?
"Admin Name: WHOISGUARD PROTECTED
Admin Organization: WHOISGUARD, INC."

Apparently, you've never heard of WhoIsGuard......
And, what is even more apparent, is that you have never done any business with Maidak.

I've ordered products from both his MMOClub.com site and his Bitcoinminerz.com site.
Always receive my product as described and in a timely manner.
Was a part of his first Fury USB group buy - things got delayed and he was prompt in keeping us all updated, and even went as far as to do small rebates for the delayed shipment.
