SkyMiner Labs [SCAM] just a [...] word about them

[reikokuko]

This..made my day.  Where's OP? He hasn't posted in a while lol.

[takagari]

Can't believe y'all are giving this guy such a hard time for his website.  He's only had one day to do everything.  

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=128635.msg3851937#msg3851937

At least he got the essentials right:

600G
PCIe card
"labs" in his 'company' name

He's obviously learning from the best.  Now all he needs is a fluttery name for his 'product'.   Emperor?  Dictator?  King?

He said "i ordered my PCIE card 2 weeks ago", that website was created 2 days ago, how can you order from a website if it dosent exist 2 weeks ago, whats hard to understand?

Lmao, This thread was good, you made my day

This..made my day.  Where's OP? He hasn't posted in a while lol.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=360649.0

 He's crapping it up in this thread now, asking a rather ignorant question of "How do I add more PCIe slots to my computer ?"

[aynstein]

Wait ... So, you guys are joking right? They are not gunna send me my sky miner mining gear? Sad day! Next thing you know my investment with Mr.Madeoff will be a flop. Like that will happen.

I found this thread because I saw this on ebay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Skyminerlabs-bitcoin-miner-the-next-thing-/161169802024

I'm so glad this forum exists, I was going to ask them if it really did 600ghash. But now I know to just skip it and move on.

Sweet it's got a file size of 1MB and instant download...so you don't even have to wait for the mail to arrive, you can start hashing right away.

[ratty]

Is there anything we can do about this? I bet they are fooling a lot of newbies.

As if there isn't enough evidence, I'm gonna go ahead and beat on this dead horse some more, I hope you guys don't mind.

They just modified an image of an SSD card

This image:



and photoshopped it:


(above linked to imgur so they can't change it, original is here: http://www.skyminerlabs.com/pics/2/preview.jpg)

And they just used the specs from the the BFL Monarch

[descarte]

nice find. the scam is pretty obvious now...

[WinterParker]

Watch he will probably get a few noobs, i betcha!   Redick i say~

[TooDumbForBitcoin]

Maybe he sends the little plastic rocket ship toy to each customer.  Wouldn't that make it all good? 

After all,  by the time BFL sends the Monarch, the value will be equivalent.

Do you think some of their "customers" wouldn't have rather had a jar of peppers after some of those delays?  At least you could put those on nachos.  Can't do anything with an 8-month overdue Jally except spin your electric meter.

[ratty]

Is there anything we can do to shut them down? They are surely fooling a lot of newbies. I hate seeing criminals win.

The best thing is that SkyMinerLabs actually weren't the first photoshopping ASUS RAIDR Express PCIe SSD. It was Virtual Minig Corp with their Fast-Hash PCIe modules:

(notice also the Chenbro RM423 4U rack chassis, image of which was also used by both Virtual Mining Corp and SkyMinerLabs)  

[descarte]

well, i guess they have no choice but to photoshop because they haven't got the real product yet.

[Anddos]

is http://virtualminingcorp.com the real deal then?,does been able to talk to them online make it a legit company?

Nope, they're scam too.  Long since confirmed.

[Anddos]

Hmm ok,do they ever give up seriously.i know the internet is full of trolls but this is getting out of hand

[thejaxx]

I ordered 50. Going to be opening up my own data center in my basement.

Do you provide onsite support and installation or do I need to hire my own contractors?

Are your products compatible with VMC's Fast-Hash One Platinum Edition Bitcoin Mining Machine? They gaurantee ROI within first two weeks, what is your projection?

Also, will the nuclear fusion generator that I have on order put out enough power? It will produce 1.21 gigawatts on average.

Thanks
