They are just buying time, allowing more people to fall for it and get scammed. I will eat my socks if this is legit.

Agreed.  Everything is set up to collapse next week.  Their (or his?) hope is to keep the veil in place until then and snare some marks in the interim.  Unfortunately the veil has a lot of holes.

Unfortunately for them the fervor that surrounded the earlier ASIC preorders didn't happen, probably partly due to those entities failure to deliver as advertised.  They had probably hoped that the delays would benefit them, but it seems to have had the opposite effect.  Also the sudden outpouring of other similar scams is dilluting the scam targets and perhaps even make them more wary.

We will be releasing Location information for our Akron OH production facility in our Mining Library on our website towards the end of the week.  Thank you for your interest and we look forward to hearing more from you.

Excuse me?? I was born in beautiful Akron, Ohio (got out young!) but my dad still lives there and it is not a very big city.  My father will be there!  I almost hit the floor when I read this.

Akron Ohio  nothing happens in Akron.....wait the Soap Box Derby.  Met Evel Kneivel there once as a kid.

Man ya gotta give em an A for effort.   I contacted them last night and received this not long after.

This has been mentioned before. Who calls bitcoin BC?  

The only BC references I've ever seen are the emails posted in this thread from Lightning Miner and the customers in the comments section of their website.

What a freakish coincidence!  If I didn't know any better I'd think those customer comments were written by Lightning Miner himself!  Nah, couldn't be...

This.

[Zedster]

If these people are from Akron, OH a lot of things make more sense to me, ya all.

[greyhawk]

Do they even have Internet in Akron OH? 

[Nemesis]

Do they even have Internet in Akron OH? 

apparently.... yes

I do email my dad but I think its all dial up

Same goes in this thread.

Here i propose to all the wanna be players in the asic products game which are yet to show their machines working.

If you mean business make pc board layer scheme open source, or stop doing what you do. Miners with funds to invest will never fall for just images without any viable confirmation.

would beg to differ.

Plenty of fans do seal the deal, even though advertised energy consumption is so little that it can be easily handled with less than 18 fans..

And I will watch while jacking off with Trendon Shaver's dick in and out of my ear. The other ear saved for the highest bidder.

I'm not a wordsmith, but this dude's (and yes there's only one) writing style reeks, just as mine would/does in Gavin's eyes, as his would in some Literary Laureate's eyes, albeit the latter would pass the Grey Poupon.

EDIT: I edited the above at least three times after posting it, and it still sucks. These ass-wipes don't even take the time to edit once pre- or post-post.

All US orders are backed up!

              --------------ATTENTION----------------
We are too backed up on US shipping, to accept any more US purchases.  We should be accepting US purchases in 24 to 48hrs.  International Orders are not affected at this time.  Terminals for US Orders are closed during this time

I did wonder why they did accept CC? You have at least 30days to dispute purchases. Does a merchant still get paid if it is disputed?

Speculation- (I've had no information about this, just guessing)

The Mammoth Miner 280k will be a board running 64 chips producing 4.4ghs with small heat sinks and maybe fans. COuld be one big heat sink like Avalong with cross flow (but then the chips on one end will be warmer than the other end)
Would probably only need 300w to run and give a total of >280ghs
Pricing would hopefully be closer to $4500 than $5000 for a full system
Available as a naked board with no case/psu (cheaper) or mounted into a desk or rack mount case. Actually would be cool if it were a board with 1 large heat sink etc-wouldn't look as clunky as all those naked FPGAs! You could stack them with stand offs and just point a desk fan at them!!
would not be stand alone
power would come off 2-3 PCI-e 6 pins

Still says not up here?  This really means they are not taking CC anymore, which adds to the doubt here.

Well at this point it's only gonna take me about $10 to find out with the price of BTC.  That is not a bad bet really.

They did also say that they could only handle producing 90 or so a week. So maybe unlike other firms they are only taking orders for what they can produce. Which would be a first.
