So the details change every time someone questions one. Oh my god. What are you people smoking.

[thegoldbug]

Yep, sign me up for a review unit as well and I will pay for it upon receipt.

I like that kind of marketing.

[Micky25]

Yeah. And on linkedin is only 3Th/s. Are they scaling down cause they realise its imposible to deliver that much hashing power?
I'll ask on support mail and post the answer here.

Account made on November 05, no activity since then, 2nd post in this thread and already the inofficial spokesperson, posting nice ROI calculations.

Samson = Hercules of the Yews.

First product Achilles failed.

Epic saga in the making?

[dspiel]

in for fail

What's so hard to post a freaking picture or video of units hashing? How come after you raise 4 mil $ you only have 25 units? What is this? What prices can you have considering that you loaned 1.5 mil $ (must return a lot more than 1.5 mil$ i guess).

+1000

Also concerning that there are technicians, engineers, and a financial specialist involved and they can't guesstimate pricing, availability, provide specs, provide video, provide pictures, no verification from software authors about contact/assistance, bugs on site, typos on newsletter subscription verification page...  I don't understand how a group of "professionals" would want to be represented like someone running this out of a garage.

Can someone repost those "renderings" of Tom's bASIC?  the legit ones and the edited.. those were roflcopter goodness

[FeedbackLoop]

Any special reason for choosing the Greek equivalent of Neptune? Do all ASIC companies (assuming you are really a company) come with products with inter-company matching names?

May I suggest you rename the chip "Hash-Golden-Fast-Terra" to match the rest?  

Looking forward to hear more details from you.

Our Hardware Machine, BTCO Poseidon is hardware lock. You pay half on website and half on delivery. After the hardware is received, you send us Poseidon unic ID and pay the second payment step and we will send you the unlock serial key.

No way im buying anything with such kinds of locks. Even if this is legit and not a scam, whats to say that there isint any timelock and later they asking for more money to renew the serial?

On the flip side, there is no way a hardware vendor, especially in bitcoin world, would ever agree to such terms. Theres no shortage of people trying to get their hands on it for half the price and then reverse engeneering the design/firmware or just cracking it.

Mattew Tot do not look as a Mattew Tot even Stephen Giles do not look like a Steven Gils...
Smells fishy!

Let's teach them a lesson and get them at half price then (or maybe free if we pay by paypal and we chargeback). But we don't know the prices.

We are sure that every hardware lock can be hacked, that is why we are trying to make it the best we can. Still, we do trust that our customers buy in good faith and not to scam us. Our prices will not be inflated, it's nothing to worry about.

Why no real picture with the equipment(chips, pcb) or a demo of working miners?
