The GX-100 is a complete game changer! Unrivalled power, Ultra Compact & Super Efficient. In stock ready to ship.

Beware companies with simple spelling errors on their page...

Plus this Photoshopped Butterfly miner isn't fooling anyone...is it? Red flags all over this

Note a curious lack of any information about the company, where it is from, who runs it, etc.

100% scam. To repost my comment from another thread:

Look more closely at the patterns, that image is literally the exact same image as the BFL one, just with the logo photoshopped out, the color of the light photoshopped, and that red glow.

Not to mention how literally everything on their website is a dream come true, except for how there's no reason to believe any of it is true.

Absolute obvious shameless scam.

Is there a limit to how many miners that I can purchase?
We will not be placing any limitations. Each customer will have the opportunity to purchase as many machines as they like, presuming we have the stock available.

Is your GX-100 in stock right now?
Unlike our competitors our machines are in stock and ready to ship immediately, only whilst stocks last..

Will you be selling any more machines once you have sold out of the GX-100?
We do have more models in production that we are expecting to release in the summer. Please note that we will not be taking any pre-orders on these units. We will only ever offer our products to the public if we hold them in stock.

Do I need any technical capabilities to start using your machine to mine Bitcoin?
We are very proud of the usability of our GX-100. The device is pre-configured and will automatically install onto your laptop/computer when connected.

Do you offer a warranty on the GX-100?
All of our machines will ship with a comprehensive 2 year guarantee. We are fully prepared to repair our machines at our own expense and in the event that the machine is irreparable we will directly replace it.

Why are you only offering 500 units?
We have chosen to offer 500 of our GX-100 miners as we did not want to flood the market, which would have a detrimental effect on the overall efficiency of the miners.

What company do you use to ship the machines?
Your machine/s will be shipped via Royal Mail (Tracked & Insured).

They are asking for 30BTC at the current rate of 1BTC = 237USD, so 237USD * 30BTC = $7110

No previous announcements and looks like the box is photoshopped from BFL single SC.

Hmmmm.... wait for it......... smells like............... scam Smiley

IMO, ASIC technology reputation for bitcoin mining is bad due to ASIC companies (some that are fake) who are popping like daisies, are abusing the mining community into buying their vapour products. Companies that have no visible demonstrations of how their products work are advertising freely with no one to keep them checked and being funded by pre-orders never to be seen. More worryingly is the fact that bogus companies like GPU rigs LTD and ASIC rigs LTD are not even listed in the companies house website and have listed a residential house as its headquarters!!!

http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk//companysearch?disp=1&frfsh=1365901954&#result

I believe that ASIC rigs LTD and GPU rigs LTD should be flagged as scam companies.

What are your views?

Maybe its in the shed which is itself a subterranean base with hundreds of henchmen working tirelessly packing ASIC's for the world population a-la Dr.Evil style. But I doubt it Smiley

The fact it looks identical to Butterfly Labs device, phone number does not work, and add to cart does nothing, makes it look like not a real site.

Really good web design however!
