I only purchase what is "real". My outlook is if these guys had a real product they would show photographs, not renders. It seems like common practice for these companies to "sell the vision" to raise capital to put towards production. I buy equipment for right now, not 8 months from now. This is highly speculative stuff and you need to price in the significant risks when not dealing with a sure thing.

the domain was registered 4 days ago (http://whois.net/whois/xtrememiners.net) yet it claims to have sold out hundreds of units.
also, engineers don't design microchip casing for the looks.

If it looms too good to be true, more often than not it is Wink.  Looks shady to me

Okay guys so if you’re interested, read this, if you’re not, don’t.
I just ordered a Tiger and a Lion ffrom Xtreme Miners.
I know it is risky, I know it is possible that they are a Scam.
But seriously, many of you mine themselves so they know that this chance is actually bigger than the risk you take.
Go to coinmarketcap.com all the alternative currencies are raising like crazy , because everyone who still has GH miners will now switch to the other currencies – because the BTC difficulty is too high.
This is the chance to mine other currencies like PPCoin.. remember when bitcoin was worth only a few cents and now everyone is like „omg i should have kept those coins“ well now the other currencies are worth a few cents, but they can go up as well
You could win so much with these miners, you could also lose all your mooney, and i take the risk
It used to take me 10 days to mine 10 bitcoins, so if you saved the bitcoins from a couple of months ago, you only lose a couple of days that you have beem mining.
In a few months you will remember this thread and say, you should have invested in the alt-currencies as well

This is simple math: the risk is so tiny compared to the amount of money you could win. We’re all miners and a few months ago my bitcoins were worth 100$. So 10 BTC were worth 1000 $ , and if i invest that now i may lose originally 1000$, but i could get for example a lion that makes 41 btc a month in january (difficulty 2688MM) , that is crazy and the breakeven point is reached super fast.
So if I lose, i lose 10.000$ that were worth $1.000 to me, so the pain is not too big. But if I win, i can get $36.000 (IF the bitcoin price wouldn’t even go up until january)

I agree with some of your points.But can we be sure that Litecoin,Namecoin and a few others will expand quick and become big like bitcoin at a very high price?I heard Litecoin was designed to be used in small transactions where bitcoin is for bigger players.Is there big duture for any other crypto currencies?

its a big gamble for people who don't have much bitcoins. for big players, its might be a low risk gamble.

There are people who will always say its scam, but they themselves will buy it.

good luck.

Xtreme Miners, and Bitcoin Mining Center(Phoenix Miner) have both been banned from Coinbase's payment processing service. While this does nothing to get anyone's money back if they already made an order, it does stop them from using coinbase to steal more.

So yeah, Coinbase thinks it is a scam.

You seriously believe a person out of the blue can make a better miner using less power and running faster then knc made and expect it also the be cheaper....
Really did you not see the casing is a photo shopped designer lamp which was showed a few years back.
Each and every sentence written there looked to me complete nonsense and extreme unlikely
What bugs me the most is that so many now very rich companies still are forcing us to use prepay and try avoid payback solutions by only letting you pay in btc
YOU as a customer allways loose if it turns out to be a failure.... you do not have any protection.
If you ask a charge back they pay you in dollars what they posted it was if btc went up to 2000 you still get the same value, but you never get back paid in btc.
If they truly was devoted into bitcoint hey would pay you back in the coin of your choice
But believe me thats not going to happen

I clicked on the link, and all I got was a blank page.

I recon that says it all.

scam 100%

the saying goes "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is a scam"

Website looks really cool tho, but tbh the website just got created .. So I would be really precautious about that.

Anyone know about www.solarwindmining.com, whether It's legit ?

Look him up here, he's got several threads, he's PMd me with free tips on altcoins, started several group buys here and has already made return to over ten paying customers. Key point being he has presence on btct. I will vow for him, if not worth anything, look him up and judge for yourself.

Too bad all people simply does not seem to have the nose for the real McCoys in the business, not saying this to judge, but to wish everyone did so we'd get rid of the parasites
