www.nvminer.com your thoughts?

[r0mro]

I found http://www.nvminer.com/. There's company info and it exists but with another name http://california-companies.com/advanced-ops-server-inc.10047344.company.v2. News tab is up to date. Price to performance of those miners is outstanding. Any thoughts?

Well sure as hell looks good but cannot comment on legitimacy by just a well laid out website and product description. Tried to contact them yet via email and such?

[r0mro]

Answear I got from them:

Hi,
I'm really interested in your miners, but I need to be sure this is not a scam. You have no bitcointalk topic and your website seems to be the only source of information. I created topic on bitcointalk regarding your company but no reliable info is obtained.

Can you provide any proof of being legit?

Kind regards,



Hello!

Thanks to your interest to our products.

We just getting started, and it is not easy to share our production to the world.

We have created an official thread on bitcointalk, but it contains the same information.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2094508.0

Our web site contains legal company information, that you can check.

All technical parameters of device you can also find on the web site.

Our engineers have many prototype images of device, that we can share in future.

 What kind of proof do you need more?

Just noticed they created topic after my email.

[piwi3910]

my dad always told me, if it's to good to be true, it probably is.

most 6 gpu rigs will set you back about 2000 usd.

and they are selling a 8 rig for the price of what you normally build a 6 gpu rig?
with integrated switch, and rack chassis.

for all that the price should be closer to 3000 usd

for me this sounds like a scam,

I'm happy to test one, if they want and give a review.

And they don't take Credit cards.  So two worries when I look for miners.

[Za1n]

I had posted this response in their thread earlier:

When I read the description I thought the inclusion of 4 Ethernet ports was a bit odd. When I went to the nvminer website, the product picture looks suspiciously like that of a mid-range firewall one would add in a mid-range business. The front panel controls looks like maybe a CheckPoint product, but I couldn't find a matching picture on their site. It also could be a tipping point or actually any one of the other of the multitude of FW vendors, but with the 4 Ethernet ports and that control panel in a 19" 1U rack mount chassis my money is on a firewall or some other network appliance and I am sure someone will be able to find where the picture was stolen from.

While I do not know for sure if it is a scam, the familiar looking chassis configuration, and cramming that much GPU processing power into a 1U chassis (1.75" height) seems a bit improbable. Even if someone did put that many GPUs on a single motherboard, getting rid of the heat would be the main challenge and I just don't see it here. Those small fans used in these types of chassis can certainly spin fast but just cannot compete with overall airflow needed to cool such an arrangement. Maybe if this were a 2U or 4U rig, but 8 GPUs worth of heat in a 1.75 inch high enclosure?

Plus since they take Bitcoin only they can use any physical address to lend legitimacy (probably stole it from company you linked above who knows nothing about them), then create a website, Photoshop a couple of obscure network appliance images with their logo and part number, and presto instant legitimate looking business. I would say if you like your Bitcoin it is best to keep it and not give it away to these fellows.

[thebigjdoe]

pretty clearly a scam to me... basically 8 1070s somehow cooled in a 1U enclosure selling for $3200...lol that is cheaper than you could find 8x1070 right now, then add in the magical cooling, mobo, cpu, ram, network switch....
Come on guys, please dont entertain this guy

[nvminer_asic]

Why are you so angry, guys?

As our engineers reports - they solved cooling problem.
First model with 8x GPU's never had any cooling problems,

The 16x model is more difficult, but we solved this task too.

Why everybody think that 4x port switch - is something magical??
We have developed many of server equipment, and one 5 ports Ethernet chip - is the smallest problem in all this case, but it is really convenient, isn't it?

[vuli]

where are any real pictures of devices?  That pictures on the website anyone with some proper skills can do.

[Freight]

This definitely sounds suspicious. Posting videos of a working device will help ease concerns.

[FloppyPurpleGherkin]

Scam.

[nvminer_asic]

How can we send videos, and photos of devices, that we haven't made yet? What are stupid messages,

We are the StartUp!

Our management did not allocate enough money for these research.
But we have done most of development work by ourselves.
That is why we need pre-orders to complete some pre-production test, and run the production line.

Then you will get an pictures, direct sales, and so on.

All information will be on our web site. https://www.nvminer.com

@nvminer_asic

I could take a picture outside of their supposed place of business. You won't find them there.

P.S. I work for the real Advanced Ops. Our business has nothing to do with cryptocurrencies.

Where are you guys getting from???!
