PrimeAsic - 80 Ghash/sec Asic Miner [SCAM]

[RoboCoder]

Big question is: Why do they sell this stuff when they can make ~300$/day with one of those.

They can probably do both if they want to and are prepared.  But maybe they actually believe in keeping bitcoin as decentralized as possible?

Why don't you guys mine? This is a popular question.  The answer is pretty simple.  Hardware is the focus of our passion.  We're hardware designers.

If this is real, they could have a mining farm @ 1PH ready and sell 1 million dollars of preorders in one day, deliver them and start up the asic farm.

I'm interested to see if this is real.

If so, what would be the price + shipping to USA?

[repentance]

Either a good scam or legit. We will see tomorrow i guess.

We are a well established Hungarian company (Kft) with local store and pickup available, phone support, no pre-orders or holding the customers money for weeks/months.

We are a Hungary based company, started developing this project in 2012 June, finished it without ANY pre-order money at all.
Now the units are ready to ship, or to be picked up locally.

Companies using gmail addresses always pings my scamdar, but Edi-Green has been in business since at least 2011 at that same address.

[cedivad]

I tried to call the number in the whois, it's "not in use" (well, that way easy to guess, 9995748 is the kind of number you pseudo randomly generate writing fast on the keyboard [5748 = cross]).

Here is the google map location of their offices.

Care to share your google-fu, please?

[Vagnavs]

price and payment methods accepted please.

You can go to ozco.in pool, check the user top 20 and see us there:)
Mining will be stopped after our page comes live.

Why should you stop mining after your webpage goes lives?

[rofni]

I'm also interested in the price.

Hello Everyone!

I'm posting to announce our ASIC product, PrimeAsic which does up to 80Ghash/s using a little over 800W power.





You can go to ozco.in pool, check the user top 20 and see us there:)
Mining will be stopped after our page comes live.

Stay tuned for more info!

Can you connect 10 of your devices to that pool, so it shows about 800GH/s for primeasic, because I don't think one 78 GH/s miner on a pool proofs that much?

Use Google translate.  A tax ID is given.  Someone in Europe may know how to verify it, find out who owns the company, pull up any previous business names, etc.

At least for BFL we know now that this is a lie.

The ASIC team is a third party we have contracted with to do the design and routing on the chip itself, they are located in California. ...

We have a problem here. We have a real company.

Because thats when its mining contract ends. They just rent enough to have the page up and ppl believe in it.

Of course that doesn't prove they have working ASICs, but it's more confidence inspiring than the total opacity of many Bitcoin enterprises.

And this is somehow scaring! I really liked the way you said it, your wording, btw..

I'm only 800km away, I could drive the whole night and reach them tomorrow, to be their first client and do the affair of my life.

But I think I will simply go to sleep and follow this drama tomorrow with a truck of popcorn.

And this is somehow scaring! Good wording anyway.

I'm pretty confident that someone will end up physically going to check this out.  Hell, someone bought one of those Lightning Miners and they seem like an obvious scam.

It would be great for Euro customers if there's a Euro ASIC vendor.

I'm pretty confident that someone will end up physically going to check this out.

I'm in the UK so it's only a cheap flight for me.

If they can provide a reasonable price and photos, and guarantee I can see + purchase some units, I'll fly over this week.

[SLok]

Why just not wait till they connect 10 devices or so to that pool, like I asked. Though it doesn't look like the Green Edi Sales and Services LLC will do so tonight.

I agree, there's no harm in waiting a few days.  Customers having the opportunity to go and see a working unit before outlaying anything would be a first, though.

[MXRider]

- Pictures, connect few of them to a pool

- Price of one unit

And I will be there Wednesday morning.
