I was looking at several new types of aggregators today for easier research.  Check it out.  https://foxminers.com.cutestat.com/  Note there is a comment box.  I'm tired or I would have left the first one, going to bed.
Interesting that their site is hosted in Quebec and they use a name server located in France. Trying to make it harder for US law enforcement to seize their records? That is assuming the Authorities somewhere ever goes after them.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

***  Foxminers LLC is a SCAM! If someone buys their miners 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 ***
No, that is a PAID-FOR PR release. Not to mention an old one...
I highly doubt that they have taken in anything remotely close to that from suckers who may fall for this SCAM.

Very few internet 'news outlets' actually verify anything anymore and at least in the crypto-coin world most never ever have. Pay them the $40 and they will print anything as 'news'.

Guys, fear not this miner.

Apparently, you can buy one for any amount you want. Here's a sample link if you proceed to purchase:

https://foxminers.com/payment/?product=Rack%20F48%20x%205&price=22500.00&quantity=1&discount=90&email=shit@yourass.shit


Note that the price (=22500.00) and discount (=0) are all plain text Tongue WOW GIFT!

So if you change the url to use, say 2.00 for price, um, you can buy it for $2, that's what you pay for your coffee plus donut every freaking morning!

Not satisfied?! Give your self a discount, say 90 (%), ok you can have it now for $0.2.

Want more fun?

how about F5 ten times so our dear fox supplier gets 10 orders to work on Grin

Don't know how I missed this:
https://news.bitcoin.com/alleged-mining-manufacturer-foxminers-accused-scam/
May 1st. Good Article.

EDIT: In light of the WannaCry worm, even though so far it can only hit XP systems I must STRONGLY SUGGEST that when visiting scam or possible scam sites:
A) Close your browser and reopen it in Private Mode. Be sure that your Private Mode does not allow saving data/cookies/anything!
B) TURN OFF all Java/Active-X functions
C) TURN OFF Flash
D) TURN OFF all animation

When done of course clear all History's, cookies, etc. before closing the Private browser.

So far all initial infections have been on XP systems that visited a hacked website. As part of the 'normal' website activities allowed by XP and Active-X, the worm was let in.

On my requests when the withdrawal of the ordered and paid Miner starts I get for days no more answer.

actually any windows os (xp, vista, 8.x, 7 not sure about 10) can get hit if they are not patched. ms patched it in march but we all know how well typical users patch stuff up Roll Eyes

And they're comedians, too!!

According to Mike Harish, “Specifically, the units deliver 75TH/s mining power from an electricity consumption of 1500W. The energy efficiency is improved further by the chips being endothermic-they absorb energy heat from the surrounding rather than give it off.”

Endothermic IC's!!  ROFLMAO!!  This should have been an April 1st release...

Rut-ro! Better keep them away from my s9/t9's or they will absorb all the heat and go China-syndrome on us! Oh wait -- I bet the thermal energy then travels into a quantum singularity in the center of each chip to emerge in another dimension.
Yeah. Thass it!

Apparently their minds have taken a total break from reality....

ROFL, what a revolution in BTC mining Cheesy  ... do the endotermic version needs to be pluged in socket at all? Why don't just leave it on the red hot roof to get the energy from the sun.
Any other revolutinary news? I think the only missing is golden flakes flying off the air outlets while mining (and silver ones when in standby).
