The hashrate looks good, and price per TH is around usd$190+ per TH for total price + VAT.

Yep, the VAT is 21% and have to pay additional import tax for coming into the country.

Payment by BTC only, I guess only you old-timers have that kind of BTC sitting around waiting to be spend eh...

That looks nice.  Do you have to have your own dedicated panel to power this thing....lol

Can you confirm that it is a legit webshop?

I can't see any link at Bitfury's official website www.bitfury.com

Well it says two batches have already sold out.  So their has to be someone who will be reviewing these if true.  I should expect we see something confirming this unit shortly.

Yeah there’s no way the sold out notifications are fake..

These listings have been popping up on eBay.  This is a US firm, but the symbols/logos are similar.

Yes BitFury is definitely a very real company.

On there website www.bitfury.com they’ve stated beware of scams here’s our web page addresses.
It doesn’t list BitFury.shop <- this is important.

I’m
Just saying I’d be wary of it personally.

I agree - why is the domain registered from a Russian registrar?  Bitfury has no presence in Russia that I can see.  The photos of the product are also sketchy.  Looks like there are 6 Antminers in a rackmount conversion chassis.

Safe to call scam on this until proven otherwise.

Be careful, usually russian websites have a high risk of being scams

Bitfury though is good

Just doing a little more recon on bitfury.shop.

1.  It's behind CloudFlare
2.  Bitfury.com is not behind CloudFlare
3.  http://www.crimeflare.info/cfs.html - reveals an IP address possibly associated with this cloudflare account.

Some CloudFlare-user domains with a direct-connect IP address of  185.145.131.236

bitfury.shop

ddos.wtf

Hmm..

Then using the leet hacking tool of Google - dolbonavt@gmail.com  email address comes up with some not-so-nice results.

Run, don't walk away from this deal.

I cannot, kind of why I asked the question.  


I'd am thinking it is legit as there is a guy in Toronto wanting to sell them.. Claims to have them on hand.  It's a 2 hour drive and that city has to many Fing people so going to find out isn't very tempting.

[paddyj]

Be wary of this website. I sent an email to Bitfury and they confirmed that they are not associated with bitfury.shop in any way. This is likely a scam!

[bitcoinguy140]

SCAM

THE OP might want to update the original post because i didnt realize it was a scam until I started researching.  Its very misleading first post.

[majlkcze]

I have contacted official Bitfury via email, their price is 7.000 USD per unit, with delivery within 8 months.
You can contact sales@bitfury.com

Dont use the fake scam website... contact them directly

[castiel0504]

This site seems pretty fishy thou, not sure why, but this site, and site from bitfury doesn't have secure connection?

Bitfury Shop - https://prnt.sc/hw1c02
Bitfury - https://prnt.sc/hw1buw

I mean i just googled Bitfury and open first link, and same thing(connection is not secure)...somethings fishy..
