Spondoolies-Tech released a new miner SP45 NEWTON (ignore this)

So the spoof is the .co -vs- the .com domain?

Very complete replica........

I've sent it to Guy, he can contact the domain registrar directly.

Huh, they even went as far as to use a duplicate of BitPay's payment windows. It's static but it looks somewhat convincing. I'll go ahead and notify BitPay.

Yeah its pretty convincing actually with the websites and Bitpay. Glad I didn't get suckered into this.

I almost got caught into it ! Was scanning the QR code and noticed the BTC price at $434. I guess i'm to wishful for competition with Bitmain. If we wish to keep this decentralized we need serious hardware innovation from the west.

Too late,the only hope BTC has for decentralization is that the corp miners miners die off due to wear & tear & they have nothing to replace them with...like that'll happen anytime soon
