Really? And the $2000 includes power supply?!

So the hardware cost / hash is less than 40% of typical GPU rigs, if you bought damn cheap GPU at nearly $210, and only 1/5 the cost if you bought overpriced $400+ RX 480. Power is only 18% of GTX 1070 rigs with the same hash.

Sounds too good to be true. How are the high power efficiency and low cost achieved?

I dont't always buy ASIC's, but when I do, I do it from a website registered 2 days ago.

Wait a moment... sounds too good to be true.

No company background info at all.

Website is crap. Twitter link and contact don't even work. Chinese version of website is a shitty translation by Google translate. (Considering it's a Chinese company)

Scam alert?

APRIL FOOLS!!!

[INTOL]

This is a planned speculation, with such indicators it makes no sense for them to sell them, it is easier to put themselves for mining
The same story with "F1" from bitmain

[mrstark89]

April fool dudes

[wolf_miner]

Real or Fake? April folls?

Cheers W_M

[HagssFIN]

They need to prove themselves real and legit before taking any orders..

[jillscarbrough]

-OP-
So you are in this project?

Like the other said, this is too good to be true, but who knows?
Or may this is related to 1st April? Like (Sir) theymos do? Lol. This is a mystery. 

[dimpsk]

Seems to be  kinda bullshit.

[R0land]

Not realy a good april 1st. joke, because 88 is the NAZI-code (HH) ... Grumpy cat would say : not funny   .

Didn't proof anything, A few GPU rigs can use a single worker. Let's wait and see what will gonna happen until the day coming. 

[vincl]

haha..just an empty box with some leds and fans running....

[leonix007]

 I wonder why some people putting flames on this issue, even as laughable as this post makes me wonder, trying to scared GPU miners or something

oh by the way, almost forgot April 1st!

[Ambros]

This is probably April's fool, but I strongly believe that ASIC will come soon to the market.

At the beginning of ETH many people were claiming that the algorithm was not ASIC proof and that building this kind of hardware was affordable and convenient.
I am not an hardware expert, but considering those claims and the recent rumors, the change they are real is very high

[Proton2233]

It is a fake. Why release asics for ETH mining if POS can be applied at any time? Who will buy them? The price of $ 2,000 also looks very attractive. It seems to me that someone wants to collect an advance payment for asics and disappear with your money. It seems to me that now is not orders even the Bittman.

[hummer113]

Today very many joke news, I sit, read and wow here is this news, and then understand only, that joke.

I think its possible that ASICs are already used for ETH but in secret. They know if word ever got out that a proper working ASIC was already mining for ETH there's a chance that the algorithm could be slightly changed to brick the ASIC. I would not be surprised if a company such as Bitmain may already be mining ETH through ASICs.
