It just seems like too good of a deal and they actually have asic's in stock to ship. Should I invest in one or is it a scam?
There's a guy (sorry, forgot the nick) pushing them at btc-e.com exchange in the "trollbox"...
Smells like same guy/people as ASICrigs.com (see for yourself -- design, descriptions, ... )
* Everything installs automatically in your computer -- same as ASICrigs and totally stupid for anyone who is actually mining bitcoins -- but it's not for those of course
* BFL design ripoff with removed logo (same as ASICrigs.com had)
* lots and lots of inconsistencies
* pricing is crazy (chips cost that much as the complete miner), 25GH model is more expensive (in GH-per-$) that 5GH model
* Avalon chips in ANY design probably wouldn't even fit in the box for a 5GH/s miner not speaking about 25GH "model" -- with same case as 5GH/s (...to save costs -- reply in comments -- lol).
* No mention about power consumption.
* with avalon chips 25GH/s miner would take about ~230W -- I would like to see that power source which would fit (together with the miner inside that mini-case) -- even BFL, whose design they've ripped off, has external power sources
* I'm not really sure avalon has sent ANY chips (apart from samples) to anyone -- yet they have full stock of miners with 24822.695 chips
* apparently they're not selling any (cause the stock is still the same)
* and many more
* i think looking into company's background is totally unnecessary ;-)
Good thing you've come to bitcointalk
I'd advise AGAINST any business with them.
