I stumbled across this while looking for some asic miners, is this legit? Seems a bit too good to be true, what are your thoughts?

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

No, don't trust them, they can't even implement SSL on their website for payment purposes and users security while it didn't even cost 30$ so why not? And the site looks so dull so its a no no to me plus they are based in china and AFAIK china bans all the activities related to crypto together with the selling of miners.

In addition to what bL4nkcode said, the site is very suspicious too when you noticed that some of the text written are in russian language.
I find it as a big red flag since they might be just pretending to be based on china. If that is written in chinese, I could say the least that it is acceptable.

Anything that attempts to sell you miners without having actual accreditation or at least proof that they have a certain stock, is a scam. When they use generic stock photos it usually means that they don't have the item that they claim to have in stock.

Take a look at the first 3 pages of service discussion, you'll see lots of these sites.

Now, they're all under different names, but it's the absolute same concept. Some even have the same template. The reviews are nothing but negative.

Besides, take a look at this site: http://www.store-asicminers.com

Exact same site, different domain? Obvious scam to me.
