Those interested in this product should know that I am making an effort to have the claims validated.
This community has shown a healthy level of "skepticism" of the claims made by primeasic.

I appreciate the fact that "primeasic" team are making the fully functional hardware available for purchase and distribution to the general public.

If your claims can be validated at the time I would wish to leave as a customer.

"primeasic" once I get a reply from you with the location and time as long as it is located near Budapest, I can be there within the hour.
I would also like to inquire as to if we can make the purchase with Bitcoin to Euro exchange rate at the time? This would help keep the spirit of the project.

My caution is to be expected considering that Budapest is known for a hub of scamming activity. So those interested in purchasing prior to having claims somewhat validated be warned. Until someone is physically there to view review and potentially purchase the product in question, do not fall for any claims.

Also understand that the longevity of the hardware may operate but fail after a week of service.
I am approaching this with a healthy dose of Skepticism at this point.

"primeasic" if your reading this please reply to my pm's I can come down and help validate your claims in person if you wish if you are having a hard time with English then you can email me in Hungarian.

Midenkinek aki kivancsi erre a szerkezetre , tudatara akarom juttatni ,hogy mindent megteszek amit tudok hogy kideritsem hogy amit allitanak az igaz vagy sem.
Ebben a kozossegben is lathato hogy van ketelkedes abban amit Primeasic allit.

Mi mindannyian meltanyoljuk hogy Primeasic , elo allitott egy teljesen mukodo kepes gepet, ami mindenkinek elerheto.
Hogyha minden amit allitanak valoban igaz , akkor , en is vasarlo leszek.

Primeasic hogyha megadod a cimedet akkor en oda szeretnek menni es megnezni hogy meggyozzodjem , hoigyha Budapesten van, vagy kozeleben.
Azt is szeretnem tudni hogy fizethetek Bitcoinnal to euro ertekben .

Azert vagyok nagyon skeptikus mert Budapest hires arrol hogy sok becsapas atveres van. Amig valaki nem latja szemejesen , vagy megvette a gepet, ne higgyen semijen allitasnak.

Azis lehetseges hogy a gep mukodik egy hetig es utana tonkre megy,  ugy hogy en csak akkor hiszem ha latom.
Primeasic hogyha olvasod ezt , akkor email engem, es en lejovok hogy megnezzem hogy amit allitasz az valoban igaz.
Hogyha nem irsz angolul akkor irhatsz magyarul is angol job lenne.
 
Sok koszonettel.

The gauntlet has been cast!

Is it? As someone born/living in Budapest I am not sure whether to feel offended or flattered Grin I don't think the location itself is cause for alarm, there are many scums here for sure, but I don't think that more than elsewhere, and if someone needs to pick a place to run some illegitim scheme, it's easy to find better places for that. For example go only one or two countries to the east and you got rid of the regulations of the EU...

(also I would expect anyone who can pull of such a project to be able to communicate with an acceptable level of english)

I know Budapest is a popular tourist location with some Norwegians. If it's a known scamming location within the country, it's probably because it's a hot spot for tourism - not because there's anything wrong with the locals in general.

I admit that i'm under a huge dosage of caffeine and that i wanted to laugh when i decided to go to look at the source of the website.

Code:
<html>

<head>
<meta name=Title content="primeAsic - 80 GigaHash ASIC miner for BitCoin">
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html">
<title>primeAsic - 80 GigaHash ASIC miner for BitCoin</title>

<strong>&#8364;1249</strong></font></p>
<p align=center><font size=6>Website is Under Construction<br>
It will be live today (Mon, 04/MAR/2013)</font></p>
<p align=center><font size=6 color=green>Product is IN STOCK! No Pre-Orders or delays!</font></p>
<p align=center><font size=6 color=red>Limited Quantity Available!</font></p>

</body>

</html>

Isn't it uber funny?

My anger against what is wrong in the Bitcoin community is productive:

I dunno why you'd keep quiet through the entire dev process if you'd built a functional ASIC miner. Wouldn't you at least show off a working prototype to give pause to those throwing $$$ at a certain vaporware vendor? This doesn't make much sense from a business stand point.

Can you guys not see the deeper irony?

They have spent NINE MONTHS IN SECRET DEVELOPING THIS ASIC!!!

Now that it works... instead of build a website, and prove that they have it and it works, announce on the forum that in a couple of days they will get their website up!!

Of course if it was real they could still prove it, but it's not. First few pages everyone wants one. If they actually had an address to get money at they could have been long gone by now.

However, I bet people will still send money.

If six months ago I had the capability to develop an ASIC without the need for funding from the BTC community I would have done it 'stealthily'. No point rustling jimmies with "he's going to 51% attack!" and such. Now imagine I have my chips in hand, I'm building units and I realize other ASICs are coming online that might render mine useless in a few months. At this point I could 1) build them as fast as possible and toss them on the network to get a big piece of that pie while I can 2) begin selling them to miners, recover my initial costs, make a profit, and then consider investing into a more efficient chip.

I personally would opt for 1) if I had a couple TH/s in chips available now. If I had 80 GH/s in demo chips I'd opt for 2).

That being said this sounds more and more like a scam. If the OP is indeed trying to sell these things he'd better get going ASAP.

My comment is based on local sentiment when trusting others without evidence. I do apologize if my comment offended. It was not my intention.

However family and friends "locals in general" do express concern that scams have been an issue as of late. I feel that it may have stemmed from the internet and is slowly making its way into the minds of those of the community.

Fraudulent schemes have been an ongoing issue online.

Fraudsters and those pushing scams, follow the money when they look for their next victims. No single location on earth that I am aware of has a monopoly of this fact.

Even if I find any miners (which I highly doubt), I got no interest in them ... When gpu minig is done, I sell all and take a long vacation. Havent gone anywhere since I started mining... Battling my way with asic miners that dont work would be too much. Mining with this many gpus has learned me to sleep like a rabbit, I wake up 3-4 times a night just to check all miners, with 160 gpus, something always goes wrong
