A quick check on the wayback machine shows that their "about us" page has changed substantially.

As a netizen who survived the great spam wars of the 1990s, I can confirm that the pictures above were shots from the original team.

This team has since been replaced by even better stock photos employees that were found via the Human Resources firm of Getty Images, in order to serve you better.

you know what, i really hope they are real! that will blow everyone's mind off.

In their FAQ, one of the questions is: "Why buy from you"

"Because we have probably the best product on the market. Because price/performance ratio is the best. Because we deliver in 2013."

You heard 'em. There is ZERO video or photo proof that a 55nm "Hercules" ASIC chip exists, yet they still promise to deliver your miner - which hasn't been ordered yet - before year's end...in a week...

If you want to throw BTC away by sending it to these guys, you might as well just send it to me to let me properly dispose of it for you. I'll put it through the shredder for you, at no extra charge.

I thought you guys said that there is no pre-orders?

An extract from your "about" page on your website:

Because we are at the beginning batch #1, #2 and #3 will look like this:
—
BTCO Poseidon (Dec) – In hand – 25 pcs.
—
BTCO Poseidon (Jan) – Preorder – 100 pcs.
—
BTCO Poseidon (Feb) – Preorder – 100 pcs.
BTCO Zeus (Feb) – Preorder – 25 pcs.

Interesting thread... the first thing I noticed was that the only endorsements for their skills was from each other on LinkedIn and 2 other fishy characters.

They have uploaded 2 videos of actual hardware

I wanted to post to saying that I pmed btcolympus and have offered to buy one of their products with full escrow and assuming I get a product do a full review and post a high quality video and pictures.

I also want to note for the 2 videos. I looked into the video posted 1 day ago and the user I cant seem to find anywhere. I tried his username and his bitcoin address and nothing comes up.

To post a quick update, they have responded saying that they will allow me to do full escrow in a trade for one of their units. I will tell you how it proceeds and give status updates here.

they have responded and said using cryptothrift for escrow is okay.

For the record: I know for a fact that they ran away with BTCs from atleast one order if not more.
