[ANNOUNCEMENT] 28nm Hercules ~500 GH/s ASIC NO PREORDERS!

[RenHoek]

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.

maybe a moderator can do.

[filharvey]

Customer support today, there is really bad. For first day of trading you would expect them to be really good and answer questions. but nope, nothing from a couple of questions.

I love it when you guys are totally harsh!

Normally, you'd have to pay money for that kind of whipping somewhere in London.

But you gentlemen do it for free ! Now, that's what I call service !

But just remember, this happened with KnC miner too, lol.

[Tigggger]

Looks like someone bought them all

are u blind? look at  the photoshops!   

[Meizirkki]

Why on earth would they make their imaginary product into such a stupid shape? I'd like to see a video of someone trying to stack them.

[thegoldbug]

They are in the shape (sort of) of the computer console in the original Star Trek series 'ready room'.

Just missing the small "floppy disk type" cards they inserted.  Oh wait, they are serially locking the machines so that sort of fits.


By the way, 2,700 watts (dual power supplies) !!!  


I don't think my wiring will handle that along with everything else I have powered on.

I've been to a few buildings in London and metro area and most of them didn't seem like they could handle more than a tea pot.

Watch for the first building fires to determine who in the UK purchased one.

I did think about putting all 25 of them into my shopping basket this morning to see if it would lock them up to keep others from being scammed.

Hmm, interesting. I went through the order process, got an address from bitpay to make a payment to.

so the address given is: 14xPWSbKFUzbxVY46ePXcepWgTGHPx6VfG

Just checked the block chain info

https://blockchain.info/address/14xPWSbKFUzbxVY46ePXcepWgTGHPx6VfG

and it looks like a payment has been made to that address already.

hmmm... has my order already been paid or are they getting everyone to one address?

Phil

[Vagnavs]

yes, please add scam to the title

thats not bitpay, ist the original adress of that scammers!

[Geez]

They're an English company but not in the company register? Well that's good.

[dogie]

Their address is bullshit by the way, used to walk past there almost every day. Its all ridiculously expensive retail, like talking 7-8 figure £ rents a year.

and the phone number isn't a london number.  not that its working.. when you dial it, it says 'they're not taking calls right now'.  presumably it'll be redirected to the scammers mobile.

anyway, this is just a render... the specs are meaninglessly optimistic.. and the web site is littered with spelling and grammatical mistakes.

there is zero chance this is real.

At least they spent money on professional photos

agreed, those photos are excellent... really very good compared to other asic company's photos... yet again, we have indicators useful to determine scammers...

1... is the web site beautiful?  if yes, then its a scam ;-)

2....  are the photos of their team very professional...  if yes, then its a scam... ;-)

3.... are their offices temporary... and rentable by the day/week?...   (possibly also a scam)...

here's their office http://www.gardenstudios.com - rentable for just a few hundred bucks...!

and their phone number...  may be a Derby phone number (nowhere near london)...   http://www.area-codes.org.uk/01332.php  and http://www.phonespamfilter.co.uk/phones.php/01332408

They're an English company but not in the company register? Well that's good.

...and their use of the English language is questionable.

"...we are among the most serios company...", "100% COSTUMER SATISFACTION", "...27.000 dollars in six mounts...", "As a 100% English is a gentleman in real life"

Found my Nigerian cousin yet? He wants to invest and get reeeech.

[Meizirkki]

3 stereotypes for the entire crew  

Maybe this whole thing was meat to be a giant joke in the first place? This community isn't hard to provoke

[filharvey]

Did anyone order one of these? They said there were only 25 to be available, but their site still says in stock. They told me anyone who purchased in the UK should have them by the 18th, and in the US by today (23rd) so anyone know of these in the wild?
