What? They registered the domain few weeks ago via proxy services, what more do you need

[railzand]

Their telephone number 'is not accepting calls at present. Please try later.' It's a Derby code.

Big SCAM

Website says Error, but sends you an email anyway, to get you on the mailing list.  That appears to be all the info we have presently.

Our policy was and still is, not to throw information (like prices) until we are sure of it.
We are sure of:

• Our Poseidon machine will be equipped with Hercules ASIC
• Hercules which is capable of more than 500 Gh/s hashing power.
• Power consumption is less than 0.9 w/gh/s
• Payment will be with Bitcoin and 90% Paypal. If not Paypal, another payment gateway like Dwolla, Payza, 2CO.
• Our first batch will be IN HAND with NO PREORDERS
• If you pay with Bitcoin your Privacy will be protected with us!!! and you will be able to use Split Payments
• Our Prices will not be inflated

For all the users considering getting one i urge you not to be scammed. You are a no name company and you expect use to just go and layout half bitcoin with no proof of any unit, no proof of any asic, less then 1 week on bitcoin, site only up for 2months?

I understant your point of view and i embrace it. Everybody should be aware of scams. I personally have been reading this forum for monts and we know that our customers are very wise people. We guarantee you that we will provide proofs of product working and every information needed BEFORE we open sales! Please give us the benefit of doubt, until then. I promise you all we will try to fulfill our mission, which is 100% costumer satisfaction

What about the proofs you previously guarantee before you open sales?

[Anddos]

Yes a complete scam,ran by a sad teenager i agree, altho it looks believable

[torusJKL]

If something looks to good to be true... maybe it is to good to be true.
Do not send them any money.

More likely they ARE hashfast.

and that scam is about to explode...

like all good scams, if something works once, it's going to work a second time (because, much as it saddens me, there are an unlimited number of dumb people)

[clenell]

wow, this is a fucked up industry.

[sikman]

I'm calling this a farken HUGE scam, when I saw the info below, QLD 4218 ( Australia ) I said to myself that postcode looks familiar, what Australian company has tried to scam people before and there only 1 so far, it is PAYONIX, guess what his postcode is, QLD 4217

Also the Suburb fits well, Nobby Beach which doesn't mean much to most people but in Aussie slang a "Nob" is a dickhead

knob
noun 1. the penis. 2. the head of the penis. 3. an annoying or stupid person; a dickhead.

Hey, Olympus, don't sell these machines to "customers", keep them and mine with them for yourself. You will earn more in just a few "mounts".
And no one "customer" will regret sending bitcoins to you. (Of course there is no Paypal.)

[faetos]

Thanks for the lulz. My favourite line is "... you will start feeling reech in no time!" Have you by chance seen my Dr Prince cousin esquire in Nigeria? He needs some help depositing a billion dollar check of which you can have half and feel reeeeeech!!!!

[RenHoek]

I found a photo of their shop:

[ninjaboon]

Their telephone number 'is not accepting calls at present. Please try later.' It's a Derby code.

ok scam then.

[RenHoek]

I will take the "Split Pay Poseidon" such i lost "only" the half of 8000$ 

[RoadStress]

Can we have a SCAM in the title? I'm sure there will be enough idiots who will order from them. Only the fact that they copied TOS from HF should scream scam from 100 km away.
