An anonymous poster, "funmin", wrote a
comment on my blog promoting a company claiming to have Bitcoin mining ASICs (see below).
THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SCAM - DO NOT SEND ANY PAYMENT TO "LABSNOVO.COM"His post was:

http://www.labsnovo.comnot 20 as they advertise but ~ 18gh/s stable…. very good…
and they told me they are working a new firmware that will stable the speed on 20-22 gh/s……..

"funmin" made about 80 HTTP requests to my blog, between March 17 and March 20, using different IP addresses (mostly ukranian 46.118.0.0/15 and 178.137.0.0/16), to attempt to obfuscate which exact HTTP request submitted the comment, in order to obfuscate which IP he was browsing my blog from. But he forgot that the timestamp allows me to pinpoint exactly who he was: his post was submitted from the IP address
213.16.166.52 on 20/Mar/2013:05:33:31 -0700 using the following user-agent: "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0)".
Perhaps this information can be helpful to track the perpetrator of this labsnovo scam...
