Any one confirm ? I'm very interested in this product. But I wonder if it's a scam ?

Mhash/s/$ 3.03.......Mhash/s 4,000

If Mhash/s/$ = 3.03 and Mhash/s = 4,000 then the price would be 4,000 * 3.03 = $12,120
If they make a mistake on the website that big I doubt they can create a mining device at all.

Scam


Based on this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD7OjvdQpl8 somebody (most likely the scammer itself) is living in some dump and is trying to proof that a product exists and is shipping. Surprisingly no other customer is providing any info about this revolutionary product..

Yea, there is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKJUy2K3AOI but camerawork suggests its the same author/scammer as the first one.

[Cablez]

That is just fin awesome!!!!


He tries so hard to seem legit. The videos have their ratings and comments disabled, so no badmouthing. He cut off the bubble wrap like an unboxing vid. No closeups or shots of it actually running. Good god man, is all this effort really worth it?

Please for the love all all humanity do not send that 'company' any bitcoins!!!

Does anyone have the 'original' website address that was mentioned?

My favorite is "Don't remove the sticker, the LED's are too bright."

More like, "Don't remove the sticker, cuz then you'll see that it's just a switch with a Lightning miner sticker on top to cover up the linksys logo."

How do you think about this:

Critically, very, very critically.

Well for $75 I guess it could be worth a try. After all the other money I have lost or have invested in waiting for BFL to deliever.

It is version 4.0 so it must be real.

LOL even with all the massive red flags I kinda thought like this.  I just got a prepaid visa card the other day for a little over a $100 and was wondering what I should spend it on!  I figured that since it was such a small amount of $ (and I had this card kicking around) and they accept CC I would take a shot at it (bad case its a scam and I do a charge back in a few weeks, worse case I totally lose the purchase price?).

So I headed to the checkout (after verifying on the site that they ship internationally), well low and behold I got stuck at the checkout because the forms only accept USA address' and I don't see anywhere to be able to add international information.  The checkout process seems to require a USA address to continue.

RED FLAGS EVERYWHERE, PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION!

RED FLAGS EVERYWHERE, PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION!

Is it quotes like these from the site maybe?

This page is currently getting a ton of info poured into it.  Go ahead and bookmark it, will have it up before you know it.

Translation: This site really is just front for you give us your CC info and your BTC please ignore this page and return to the product we just produced from thin air.

Don't risk your money like that (and that's saying it nicely). That website smells really really bad. If they were making those that cheap (40GH for $600), then why sell them? They could make a fortune mining. And how wold they expect to pay off any ASIC development costs?

One might then ask the same of BFL, but at least BFL seems to have had an established electronics business before turning to develop mining hardware. And has actual human names associated with the company.

And if your going to waste $75, here's a better idea. Send it to any one of the people on the forum that has a bitcoin address, then PM that person and tell them to send you any ASIC hardware for mining bitcoins that they MIGHT have in their garage. You'll probably have a better chance of getting something.

Scumming scoombugs!

[crazyearner]

Site design is puke, information and content puke, no full size pictures on site puke, Only one customer posting proof RED flag. 90% sure this is a scam and the videos posted are not the best and does not go into all details of products nor is video quality high. Also other videos on his channel it seems is a member of a old game called dark orbit and problems so noob off their trying to make more money and scam people no doubt.


Why don they come on here and have their own thread started hmmmm. Also all their domain info is BS too.... Stay away from this people. However very tempted to by as they also take credit card payments but still this is also risky going to stay away from this and  mid year will have something for everyone to offer

Edited waiting for updates on this maybe will get my very own unit as agreed to take part in beta.

No, it's not worth a try.  *Especially* after all the money you have lost...

There is zero chance this is legit.  So many red flags that there is no other possibility.  Amateurish attempts to make it seem legit like bogus unboxing videos that contain references to the "old website" trying to explain away the fact that site was just registered.

Save your money, stay away!
