At the moment, it appears that the listings for both the imposter and @kosmokramer are down. The hardlink to the offering from the first page of the thread simply redirects to a general bitmit page. Hope this gets remedied soon.

Yes, they took mine down too, unfortunately ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) So, someone copies my information and I get punished for it too. Seems fair... Hopefully they're just trying to sort it all out. At least no one can get scammed right now from the fake listing. I'm trying to get it resolved ASAP.

Gentlemen, A BitMit update - I have yet to hear a single word from BitMit. Over the past few weeks, I've been in regular contact with Joachim @ BitMit but he's been entirely unresponsive since this scam listing popped up. Here's the series of events: - Someone told me there was a scam listing
- I assume you guys emailed BitMit first, followed by my clearly worded email directly to Joachim about the concern
- I looked not long ago and see that both listings have been removed (wtf?!?)
- I sent another email to Joachim, but he is not responding, although he clearly knows there is an issue
- Waiting to hear back from Joachim so we can get this worked out and you guys can buy again
Inventory is very low at the moment. I have several users who are interested in "buying everything I have" and I'm dealing with them on a first come/first served basis. It's NOT going to the highest bidder - I don't work like that. I am going in the order that messages are received and that's that. Please be patient with me (rather, BitMit) as these issues are worked out. I would advise everyone not to make a single purchase on BitMit until we see how they handle this situation. I'm very concerned about how this is being handled.Thanks for your understanding guys - we'll get this sorted out and be back in business soon.

Back from the post office. And 10 minutes later I'm mining away with my gold Block Erupter!!! Running quite happily on cgminer 3.2.1 along with my two GPUs. (j/k guys, it's red not gold ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) )

You sonofabitch. While I'm glad you received your miner (yay!), I am yearning for one of the gold ones. The thought of letting one slip through my fingers is infuriating!! Enjoy!!

Are you using cgminer? The setup for this ASICMiner is cgminer -o http://yourminingpool.com:port -u Username -p Password --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S \\.\COM3 -S \\.\COM4 -S \\.\COM5 (or whatever you COM port is.) Note this is on a windows base computer. no I am on Linux, but I have tried it with win too; - it seems to be a Problem with the USB-(HUB,-timing,-PSU,-temperatur,-current,-...) ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

Where is KosmoKramer's page? I've been successfully buying from him for a long time. Why take his page down because "123456" is scamming with a copy of Kosmo's page?
Look at your sales history on the two sellers, please.

Hi, One of our staff made a mistake and deleted his item by mistake. We are very sorry for that. --- Please let me know if you have any further questions. Kindly Regards Joachim S.

This is a quick and dirty way. I didn't have any others on my machine, so it shows 0-9. I couldn't get it working with 3.2.1, so I'm using 3.1.1 successfully. Then here's what I use for my miner command line. Notice the need for sudo to access the devices. sudo ./cgminer-nogpu --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=10 -S /dev/ttyUSB0 -S /dev/ttyUSB1 -S /dev/ttyUSB2 -S /dev/ttyUSB3 -S /dev/ttyUSB4 -S /dev/ttyUSB5 -S /dev/ttyUSB6 -S /dev/ttyUSB7 -S /dev/ttyUSB8 -S /dev/ttyUSB9

My reply back to Joachim:You delete items in cases of a dispute, instead of just blocking the listing?? That seems like an incredibly unprofessional way to deal with things.
You can't put the listing back from a backup? Are you attempting to run this professionally, or like a bunch of amateur hackers?
I'm absolutely astonished. At the moment you have a lead in the market, but first mover advantage can't overcome sloppy delivery. You can be a MySpace and fail, or you can be a FaceBook and succeed. It's all in the service you provide.

I got everything worked out with Bitmit and my listing is back up! I am currently sold out though. Here is the update I wrote for my OP:
SOLD OUT! Thank you to everyone who has purchased from me. I have had so many awesome customers ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) At this time I'm working with ASICMiner to establish new pricing and I'll have more in stock once that is complete. Thanks again!

So why is this disclaimer showing on your page? Can't buy anything from the listing anyway, but the heading shows this:
Seller is currently not active

There is an option to show that disclaimer. I am currently out of stock, but I wanted my listing to remain on the site in case another impostor comes along. I don't want someone to buy from a listing that looks like mine thinking it's me.

Hey all - just wanted you to all know that I am in contact with ASICMiner about acquiring more inventory. You will all be the first to know when I have more in-stock. I'd like to make a comment about resellers - I had hoped I was providing this hardware to end users for a very fair price in order to get more people into mining at a reasonable cost. It appears many of the units that I sold are now being resold for a significant markup. While I know there's nothing I can do to prevent that, it is a bit of a let down to see such high prices on hardware I worked so hard to keep affordable. Really glad to see you've all been happy with my service - that is always my number one goal and I don't intend for that to change! Whether it's ASICMiners, raw chips, or potato chips, hearing you say you're happy is the best reward there is; especially when it comes to something as historically disappointing as ASICs. It's been an honor to serve you all so far.

It's been an honor to serve you all so far. Actually, just so you don't feel so disappointed, if you look closer you will find that most of those are out of the US - many in the Netherlands shipping only to the Netherlands. Those were part of a group buy from Augusto Croppo - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195540.0. My sister bought some out of the group buy before she found you. Now she only wants to buy from you since her group purchase of 15 of them ended up on a rather sour note, and we still don't have the units, but paid for them many weeks ago. I'm supposed to ask - what are you selling now/next ? She'll buy some...

Honestly I thought about buying some simply to resell. People who want to buy for USD and don't have access to easily convert to BTC will pay a markup. Didn't end up doing so in the end though. (Partially because I didn't have enough BTC myself. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) )
