Aww poor canaries
 Looking forward to a one stop shop for hardware updates

Yeah now the world is more humane, we only send miners down in the mines.

The first ones to die are usually called "preorder suckers" for some arcane reason. But hey, no more dead birds!

Nice catches Metatron  I will add them to the OP

These people seem to forget they are trying to scam a bunch of tech professionals and enthusiasts that know better...

I suppose the pre-order crowd are a good analog for canaries  They just die financially

Oh good, for a minute there I thought I was going to have to be one of the test canaries!

Wow great analysis on asic-technologies

Where did you find RCM-miners metatron?

Any idea about Bitmine.ch?  They look pretty good, I can't see any reason not to add them to my list, what do you think Op?

I just found it doing a general web search for mining companies, which led me to the Bitcointalk thread as well

So many it is getting hard to keep track

Very nice Bitcoinorama  Thank you for digging into them

[dan99]

btcgarden? seems like you spoke highly of them, this aiwill guy is proud and cocky thought he knows everything? he thought that his company is super big, many questions on the board he don't bother to reply.  

Did he show his prototype? Does he has an open day for questions and answers at his mega facility? would he accept paypal?

Very nice Bitcoinorama  Thank you for digging into them

Operatr doing a good job listing all the scammers.

This is the opposite of what ebay does by letting the scammers clean their negative feedback, ( or positive feedback with negative comments).

I hope the list of scammers is kept updated.

good job operatr.

Hey thanks man   Just trying to make it harder for scammers to have free reign around here, as well as bringing legitimacy to those who deserve it too for delivering on their promises.

As far as updates, I am working on an entire site of its own to expand this into

The cat did it

 



I ran across something while I was doing something else entirely, namely the ITX cases ASIC-Technologies used in their latest project image...




Not to say they couldn't be using these little cases in actuality to house their ASIC hardware, but I doubt it. Looking at the ELA, the blackness suggests it has been resaved so many times the errors have leveled off, with fresh Photoshop activity in the middle denoted by the rainbow colors

Hey. A new website just popped up named "btcminingrigs"

Here is the link : btcminingrig.com

They definitely look like a complete scam to me!

Ill let you read what it says on the website below.

"In stock ready to ship. Limited Availability - Just 550 Units allocated"

They are selling BFL products, the 5GH/s, the 25GH/s and the 50GH/s.

Claiming they have all the products in stock ready to ship, and receive within 10 days.
Quote their website --> "BTC ASIC miners are ready to ship and delivered within ten days"

They have some pictures of the products which are exactly the same as the ones on BFL. Definitely looks like a complete scam. Here are some of the pics they post on the website.



and



And get this, their number for support is not even in use!  

Here are a few quotes from "inuyasha" on another thread here.

"Smells like same guy/people as ASICrigs.com (see for yourself -- design, descriptions, ... )

* Everything installs automatically in your computer -- same as ASICrigs and totally stupid for anyone who is actually mining bitcoins -- but it's not for those of course
* BFL design ripoff with removed logo (same as ASICrigs.com had)
* lots and lots of inconsistencies
* pricing is crazy (chips cost that much as the complete miner), 25GH model is more expensive (in GH-per-$) that 5GH model
* Avalon chips in ANY design probably wouldn't even fit in the box for a 5GH/s miner not speaking about 25GH "model" -- with same case as 5GH/s (...to save costs -- reply in comments -- lol).
* No mention about power consumption.
* with avalon chips 25GH/s miner would take about ~230W -- I would like to see that power source which would fit (together with the miner inside that mini-case) -- even BFL, whose design they've ripped off, has external power sources
* I'm not really sure avalon has sent ANY chips (apart from samples) to anyone -- yet they have full stock of miners with 24822.695 chips
* apparently they're not selling any (cause the stock is still the same)"

Anyway, please add them to the list. Save a lot of people from getting scammed. That is just my opinion, if someone would like to dig in some more feel free!
