DragonMint T1 16TH/S halongmining.com

[rizla.plus]

I was looking at this page https://halongmining.com/shop/dragonmint-16t-miner/ for the first time and I enlarged the pictures: the first thing I noticed as soon as I enlarged pictures #1 and #2 is that they have a lot of digital noise, which reduces a lot the definition and the quality of the pictures, and this noise is everywhere in the pictures but in the DragonMint logo, which looks pretty much perfect, and this is not normal, because it should be quite noticeable. And the first thing I'd think is that the logo has been added in Photoshop after the pictures have been taken. Am I the only one who noticed this weird thing?

Yep, that has been added to the picture later, for sure!
Not a very good job either, the anti-aliasing on the edges of the dragon logo are blatantly obvious. That just could not possibly have come from a picture.
LOL!

Hello everyone, a few days I follow this thread, I think it's time to say something, are by nature a sucker and the first news of the imminent launch of the "Dragonmint 16", I immediately bite the bait, that is, I wanted to do it but I have not made the pre-order because in addition to my doubts, the paranoid and conspiracy theorists have also felt that they managed to ruin my purchase project in a group of five units, but the situation is so paradoxical that even an Italian said I was a scammer.

My intention is to ask that people stop instilling sentences, better wait for the truth to surface.

The thing I think will have already called the attention of the authorities and so if it was a scam could not get away with it, would not go far, so for me all the stories about the sticker Photoshop or clones bitmain S9 etc. are just crap.

The company may be wrong in its marketing because it will have to work twice as long to make a new image in the market, but it is also true that they explained that the photo and video was a simple prototype, moreover they are working in absolute secrecy.

In short, stop poisoning the air and give them the time they have requested, unfortunately, even the paranoid behavior of the community and the speculative brokers bring down prices and put at risk many wonderful projects.

Hopefully tomorrow or in the next few days the leaders of Halong give us the definitive proof that the device exists, it would be great to be able to believe that we are all honest. (also the Italians).

What authorities? It's still full of well known fake website out there and nobody gives a shit...

Hopefully tomorrow or in the next few days the leaders of Halong give us the definitive proof that the device exists, it would be great to be able to believe that we are all honest. (also the Italians).

I'm looking forward to hearing from them! And btw, what about the Italians?

Sorry for my english. I corrected.

Good continuation to everyone.

Peace and Courage.

There is around 10 days to go, we are closing in "at the end of January". Hopefully we are going to see something very very SOON

Uh, what?

... but it is also true that they explained that the photo and video was a simple prototype, moreover they are working in absolute secrecy...

I'm not too concerned about a photoshopped image.  Heck, even my Cheerios box has fake milk on the image.  So as a singular event, who cares.  But many small brush strokes when added together start to paint a picture and this picture doesn't look good right now.  The only hope I have is that Scott Offord appears to be a legitimate source, who must surely know that he is going to prison for internet fraud if he's complicit in this scam, if that's what it turns out to be.  In the U.S., the FBI handles cases like this (again if a fraud) and will be involved if this turns bad. See this link https://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx .  Hopefully, the demo in Miami happens as scheduled and we get some reliable feedback/reviews from credible sources that will squelch all the negativity.  Hopefully Halong is just being super-secretive to protect sensitive corporate info, but enough is enough.  It's time to come clean, Halong.

How is myrig.com selling these if they are not legit?

[European Central Bank]

outside of off topic junk threads, this thread must have the highest newbie account ratio on this forum shilling in both directions. it's kind of depressing to witness.

[Sandal_Hat]

The obelisk miner is real? It only cost 1.65k and can make over 10k a month is odd. Any1 actually ordered and ran one before.

[HagssFIN]

Offtopic..... this thread is about the btc miner DragonMint 16 Th/s, and this is a bitcoin mining subforum.


Obelisk are not in stock, but shipping in August if I remember right   (batch 2) ...

[Sandal_Hat]

Accordin to bt898, innosilicon says they do not know halong and they said the pic was their unit. There is no point targetting me as I am only a small fry consumer. I am juz curious and I dont have anything against anyone. If this miner turns out to be real, I hope halong dont hold it against me, although I am skeptical at the moment. The way we get info, it is difficult to not be skeptical.

[HagssFIN]

I've sent few pm's here at the forum to Innosilicon in hope some things would be clarified, but they haven't replied me yet.

[castiel0504]

"real mining" as unicorns are real. At the moment no one knows except few people. Other random people on internet like you and me have no idea, since there are no "real" proofs, only speculations(as you are in speculation part of forum)

.....is myrig.com legit?

[bt898]

I changed my settings so that you can message me on a new account @ the guys that asked.


And I'll attach a full member's response to the information I shared with him, I think it should be all you need in concordance with my original post.

"Ahh I see. So, it the video was innosilicon miner.....the watt meter at 1400watts-ish was probably measuring watts of an antminer s9 12.5th. The slushpool worker 16th was probably 2 machines making 16th. There was a second of that halong vid showing 4th hashrate on that computer, thats probably the 2nd worker. Adamback will probably claim he is a victim as he supposedly bought 200k of items. Btcdrak is an invisible person. The newbie posts in the thread supporting them were newly created and recent, and maybe some bought over accounts. Ppl like promojo were probably paid. Recently, some forumers claim they could not buy the halong batch because it went out of stock or had no buy button,etc. I guess they are not really selling anymore. They are juz pretendin to do so, to smokescreen till april so they have more time to get away. They are willin to take the risks with big orders because that one big order nets alot of money and only adds to 1 more victim voice screamin scam. The idea is to have 200-300 victims claim scam and not 1000-1500 victims. These people dont wanna be investigated later lol. Their telegram group has like 400 people only after all... and cant be everyone ordered....i suspect in april they may make some bs excuse to extend another month. Delay seems like of their tactics.


Philipma managing to find the innosilicon picture, was something they did not expect. That cracked the case lol. They did not expect this. I guess innosilicon replies to u since u buy alot.

Juz my 2cents. Thanks for info."

Halong may very well have every intention of trying to create an actual miner so this is not the typical run away with the money scam. However they are completely deceptive in their tactics.

This just sparked an idea in my mind... the initial conversation about Halong having $30 Million in development funds is backed by zero data. Whomever those investors are, nobody knows. Maybe the investment never happened.

However... they started taking orders in November. They probably raised $10-$15M doing THAT, and gave themselves until April to figure it out. They're TRYING to make a miner, and have six months to pull it off using the pre-order money. Maybe seven months if they announce an unexpected problem, or "yield issue" with the wafers or some other such excuse. Maybe the pull it off, maybe they don't.

In the video, people swore they were looking at an S9. In the photos, people swear its an Innosilicon product. They used whatever was available to generate their buzz. Prototypes, they'll say. Keyword in SkyLakeMine's post above... "intention" -- they're scrambling to make it happen? Who knows.

Thanks bt898 will PM you as soon as I get back to my office.

Just to keep everyone updated I emailed myrig.com as soon as Halong announced that they would be selling the Dragonmint miners. I inquired on when they will have stock availability and whether they will be excepting paypal payments (I have insurance with paypal and will feel better paying for these machines through paypal rather than make a bitcoin payment)

Unfortunately I got an automated response that someone will be in contact with me and have still not heard anything from them.   

The paypal logo is displayed on the website, but seem I got my hopes up for nothing.


Also I just noticed that Halong's website has changed to out of stock.

I guess now we just have to wait and see if anything will come from tomorrows demo day.
