Just reading this Telegram server im getting the creeps of shit tons of DUMB excuses https://t.me/dragonmint , IF they had real working AT LEAST 1 GOD DAMN WORKING UNIT and don't want to send it to anyone, invite reviewer to your HOME , since "we dont have office in prelaunch state". How can you make so dumb excuses, and "wait mid 2018". I wasn't involved in crypto world during BFL era, but i read a lot of stories, and you can only learn from other peoples experiences, so THIS totally reminds of that. I understand that Promojo has 1 unit, but that is just maybe some random bullshit, since no way that for XX days, you don't have 2-5 minutes to make 1-5 amateur random pictures.

Well, we're talking about this site that doesn't have an address, phone number or name behind it. Website that was created a few days before a "presale" started, where only bitcoin is accepted (no wire transfer or any traceable payment system). Basically fooling (or colluding with) two or three people in the community is all it takes nowadays to collect who knows how many thousands/millions from people trying to buy miners. All this money is probably in Kim Jong-un's wallet now ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

also, not sure why people here on a bitcoin forum are questioning Adam Backs credibility. His work is cited in the Satoshi white paper
Yeah, without Adam Backs there's no sha256. actually he came up with proof of work via Hashcash that was adopted by bitcoin

*** Halongmining Dragonmint miner is a SCAM! If someone buys their miners without any well-known and trusted Forum Users 1st getting one for doing a review and posting it here then well, you have been warned ***#Dragonmint "I'll believe it when I see it" - Virgilio Lizardo Jr - BitbankVideo date: December 15, 2017. Link to video interview: https://youtu.be/WdKOgNgyZM4?t=3m46sVideo description: Virgilio Lizardo, VP of International Affairs at Bitbank comments on Asian, Rusian and Latino American Mining Industry as well as his skepticism of the much hyped Halong Mining, #Dragonmint. Virgilio: So, you know, if I was them with our product, with our Litecoin miner right now. We send our miners to independent reviewers, and then the independent reviewers review them, make videos about them, whatever.
And everybody can judge for themselves.
That's me with the BW-L21 miner review. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) We now have people from following companies telling they are very skeptical on the DragonMint: Bitmain (Jihan Wu), BW.com (Virgilio Lizardo Jr.), Bitfury Group (George Kikvadze). These people know everybody involved in the mining game. How come they haven't heard of DragonMint? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Now to see if this is real or not, we would really need that honest, transparent review made by an independent reviewer. Might as well add that there seems to be ZERO press about this supposed miner maker being seen at the Crypto coin Tradeshow held in China. Started on the 19-20th. Canaan was there with their A821, eBit with their '10nm' miner, even Bitmain and others such as BW.com, but no Halongmining. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sherv.net%2Fcm%2Femoticons%2Fhand-gestures%2Fscratching-head-smiley-emoticon.gif&t=665&c=L3AVcXNjfIeSEw) What's wrong with this picture? Missed a great chance to prove themselves there...

Why would Jihan Wu have anything positive to say about a competitor’s product?

Why would Jihan Wu have anything positive to say about a competitor’s product? Why don't you shut him up with something like oh you know fucking proof... Why don't you and the dude that has the demo prove the fucking thing is real instead of constantly shifting the goal posts or offering red herrings like above... I have no idea if the gear is real or not to be fair but at this point as all the others that have been around a long time it STINKS to high heaven like all the dozens of other scams seem on these here boards. Until you show proof the community should show hard core skepticism, as you're seeing. Those that don't are fucking stupid end of story. This isn't a court of law you're not innocent until proven guilty. As it should be for the old timers round here its your fucking guilty until proven... If you were not taking in pre-orders from what I call Investomers than maybe you would have a point... So take all your excuses, delays, blame shifting tactics stuff them in a pipe and smoke em. And the lame excuse you don't want you're competition to see it too early... That is CLASSIC scammer speak bro... Guess who actually wants to see, you're investomers... But anyways as always the ball is in your court, put up or deal with the backlash, kinda the way it is round here, don't like it oh well tough luck.

I'm 98% sure Dragonmint is a scam. Its unfortunate that so many people have paid them for their mysterious presale, just another sign that the market desperately needs a legit Bitmain competitor.
I'm anxious for Avalons release of the 821, I really hope it can compete.

I"m still waiting for the 'vaporware' video review from 3 weeks ago also, the crummy review that they have on youtube is a red flag in that it does NOT allow comments about the vaporware nature of this. I've seen that trick before on pseudo miners that exist only in the scammer youtube posters mind before https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRCsQUyR7_Inote: always have your re-labelled Bitmain miner backwards to not see the logo on your likely scam product and disable comments on youtube to warn folk ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) though on a side note: to be fair ...they are NOT taking BTC for these units thou...thus that should be a little encouraging to those who have ordered these...but that is all I got on a positive note on these beasties...

Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:)

People want something to replace bitmain so much that they leave their judgement behind. All the new miners got released last week actually show that bitmain is at least 1 ~ 2 years ahead of its competitors. I almost pre-ordered, but until they deliver I will spend my money elsewhere.

It is not fishy. they got millions in preorders cashed out the coins. and laughed all the way to the bank. Once again I will offer them to post here and send me a working unit. Which I will pay for once it arrives. I will demo it on youtube I will do a long thread here. As of today no pm's from them no emails from them and no postings here from them. I and truly sorry for those that sent them money. But they banked on orders from people and seemed to have gotten many orders. To quote the Donald: "Sad so very sad'

Promojo’s original tweet had an @ mention of Bitmaintech’s twitter handle in it. That was the only difference. I’m guessing he just reposted the tweet without the mention so as to keep the peace. That’s all.

Okay so it seems like it's official Halongmining is an absolute scam with all the false promises of doing demos and reviews we still have not seen one and they missed the latest trade show There is zero evidence that they have one single working unit. So I think it might make sense to change the title of this thread to "Halongmining Dragonmint is a scam."

Your post doesn’t make any sense I’m afraid - the tweets were deleted. They no longer exist - nothing about keeping the peace, stop deflecting attention from the fact that this is at best an unprofessional way to run a company, and at worst a SCAM, stealing people’s money.

Okay, going on total common sense here. I'm not affiliated with Halong Mining in any way, only just heard about them and researching if I want to order 5 of the Dragonmint 16's. Currently, there is a waiting list and are not for sale. If this was a total scam, wouldn't they pretend like they were readily available and try and scam as many people as fast as they could before anyone catches on and disappear with the money? Instead, they are not taking orders and waiting until they have finished a batch. Sure, they are not very good at communicating, but not many Chinese companies are. As for the guy that keeps claiming he has one but doesn't want to post a review, he could be a Bitmain affiliate, trying to get Halong into a bad spotlight with his behavior, or he could just be a douche who doesn't really have one, but likes to brag like a 3rd grader bragging about his Xbox that he doesn't have. Just my 2 cents.
