There may be some sort of language barrier going on here... I wanted to take our 800M/hash miner to the market place but with a top end GPU or FPGA unit 800M/hash was nothing special.
...
April 3rd , Finally some success We had almost had it right for months , We made 4 of the 800M/hash boards and eventually managed to get them all working properly together, after running the miner for 20 days non stop. We deiced to start ordering more parts.
The 3.1 – 3.3 G/hash ASIC miner was born.
4 * 800 Mh/s = 3.2 Gh/s. I think they might be under the impression that an ASIC miner is simply a multi-gigahash miner... Which actually makes this sound even more like a scam. If they spent about a year building this thing, shouldn't one of them have caught on to the fact that ASIC is an acronym (just like FPGA) for a completely different technology? |

Can anyone see a simple adsl modem motherboard in that picture on the main site? i can see a phone line plug (the grey port) next to a inductor coil (the yellow and black box next to it) the yellow network connector, next to a switch, next to a barrel type power plug? with the caption under the picture: "mage above: main control board + my ipod and mouse for scale." and that soldered aluminium can is EMS shield for the SoC...
sorry, when i looked at the post, clicked the link, passed all other posts and went eh, no, obvious fake...

Doesn't matter if they are a scam. Read the FAQ. 155.2W at 3.3GH/s at best.
So, 21.26MH/J. An X6500 FPGA has better efficiency (23.25MH/J).
With such a sob-story in "About Us," it's pretty clear they are a scam. Not to mention that board seems to have some things I don't think it should have.
If it's all true though, they failed pretty hard when they could have mass-ordered some Spartan 6 FPGAs, built some boards and had better efficiency miners with those.
And for a "graduate of Napier University in Edinburgh" he has really shitty English skills. The grammar. It burns my eyes.

That aluminium(?) plate shield near the top taking 1/3 of the board space looks like something from a telecommunications board. I've seen it is modems, cable phone equipment. Yellow ethernet slot... |

Yeah I don't buy this for a second. Look at it. Row of green LEDs on the front, single yellow phone/ethernet in and power, no cooling solution of any kind. This is a broadband modem motherboard. I'm searching around to see if I can find this exact one somewhere. EDIT Yeah they must think we are pretty stupid...  |

At least their honest about the 'plug and play' capabilities... and the easy install software disc that always came with those modems  |
