Anybody think they can figure out where the site IP is really from? I doubt it's really UK.

Well if I'm thinking of who I'm thinking, then I actually contacted the City of Edinburgh way back when we first found that site and they checked it out and said there's no Asic-Technologies to be found there, so...

Man, really feel stupid about this. Most bitcoins I've ever invested in anything. Am super thorough about transacting anything BTC now.

Well mate, sorry for your loss. Its always good to ask in forums for opinion about any Bitcoin company first before investing any thing.

I wish you speedy recovery.

I would be very surprised if this is true. If they do arrive it could be of the publicity these threads have been getting. Please keep us informed.

I would be surprised also, I'd be surprised the most actually. But I'm ready to forgive if they are actually doing it. All they sent was literally that text. No tracking number ,no confirmation of order, nothing. So crossing my damn mitochondria hoping they're legit.

Thanks will follow up with them.

That's strange. Maybe email them asking them for a tracking number or order number or something at least. That doesn't sound professional. But, of course could always surprise all of us.

I did twice over an hour ago still no answer. Hmmmm.....

I hope you do get them. Then, you can generate a little extra for the loan that you have applied for. But, don't hold your breath.

This is one sketchy screenshot, that version of cgminer doesn't support ASICs and there is no BTB0/BFL0/whatever after the accepted share showing what type of equipment it is.

Also, I tried to directly hotlink the image from their site, but any image or link copied from their site reads out as base64 encoded text. Very sketchy.

I applied for that loan because I thought I lost the 7.4 BTC I invested in the blades. If they happen to actually deliver there's no need for the loan.
