***  Foxminers LLC If someone buys this miner without a well-known and trusted Forum User 1st getting one for doing a review and posting it here then well, you have been warned ***

I'm not a foxminer, nor will I be!!!!
I have expressed my mind no more.
Your wise speech is "valued"

edit: @NotFuzzyWarm I do not know English well, and I can write badly enough Wink
Thought that might be the case. I removed reference to being part of Foxminers

Small but important language lesson:
"I" or "me" = the person talking. That is why easy to assume you were part of Foxminers.

You wanted to use the word "they" which = different person/company

Also, do not immediately defend a product without reading WHY it is called a scam. Discussion of that is over and does not need to be repeated. The first 4 pages provide absolute proof. Read them, then post an opinion.

This thread is now in Busting mode against them.

Hey, Fuzzy, I just noticed that you still have Zipkin's link in your sig where he was goin' to burn down my house and kill everybody in it. HAHAHA & Chuckles

Bitcoinist has joined the ranks of folks in screamin' SCAM! http://bitcoinist.com/foxminers-interview-dual-scam/

Per the article:
"An old lady called Brenda sent us an email and explain to us how she is able to create ASIC which can mine 2 algorithms at choice"

So now the person(s) behind this are now trying to shift blame to her, the only visible person so far....

Oh that is just hilarious Cheesy
And the phone battery life will be just how many minutes? Even plugged into a good charger say, 2.1A, that gives 10.5w of power. Barely enough to run a single 2Pac stick from Sidehack @15GHs. Of course the phone itself will want some of that power as well.

Crap. There goes Physics getting in the way again... Tongue

To close out the night and make it easier for new eyes to get the gist of this thread right from the top of it, I tweaked my post #2. It now has some of the most irrefutable points immediately there and easy to catch.

I am sure the Foxminer guy is lurking here as well. Also here is an update:

I wen't to brendas address again today, knocked on her door and she refused to answer. That is okay as next time I will show up with 2 police officers and I am getting real tired of this crap.

Maybe before I thought she was innocent, but at this point I am 110% certain that she received compensation from this scam. She also went and told the scammer that I stopped at her door the first time because not 10 minutes after I left i received a threatening email from him.

This guy thinks he can get away with shit like that, well good luck with it when the feds start investigating. I filed a report with Brenda's name and address on it, if she doesn't want to deal with me she can deal with the cops.

Ain't pretty to see but is there about 1/2-way down the page.

The google archive cache is kinda hid for quite a while now but the bitcoinist article might still be there.  I think some other sites might lifted it verbatim too.  Props to themerkle for action.  While site takedowns could be somewhat effective if they could be had consistently, real law enforcement action might be a helpful deterrent.

***  Foxminers LLC If someone buys this miner without a well-known and trusted Forum User 1st getting one for doing a review and posting it here then well, you have been warned ***

Was poking around the Wayback'd pages from 2014.
The specs for their 2.1THs rig dated April 2014 look - right. Totally on-par with what 28nm chips and rigs did back then:

ASICs: 28nm Golden Nonce
Guaranteed Performance: 1900 GH/s
Power consumption: 1 Watt/GH
Chassis: 480(W) x 170(H) x 450(D) mm
Cooling System: 3 x High-Performance Liquid Cooling Units
PSU: 2 x High Performance 750W Power Supply

A) Wonder if any were actually made and if so, delivered?
B) If 'yes' to 'A' then, are these the same folks gone bad or has the Foxminers name also been hijacked by these scammers?

Then again, the Golden Nonce was a chip from <cough> Hashfast.
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/List_of_Bitcoin_mining_ASICs and we know how they turned out.... Birds of a feather and all that rot...

Narf...
Google blocks the Wayback crawler from them. In a way makes sense so someone does not make their own search site based on pilfered Google content...

Hmmm.  It's the little teeny green arrow by the end of the url in index search results now, btw.  So if you 404 you can always go back and try that.
