ZTE-ASIC seem to have appeared out of thin air yesterday, or have managed to fly under the radar despite a too-good-to-be-true price. They also claim to have completely delivered batch one last month !

I see 2 verbatim posts on 2 obscure forums by 2 different newbie posters, dated yesterday
https://www.coinforum.ca/discussion/813/bitcoin-miner-6th
http://forums.pureoverclock.com/bitcoin-forum/23928-bitcoin-miner-6th.html

One similar post on another obscure forum dated today
http://www.coinboards.org/thread-bitcoin-miner?action=lastpost

And one reddit post (which I replied to)
http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMining/comments/1tssyy/zte_zeus_asic_6th/

Edit 1:
The scammers continue to sign up brand new accounts and make fake posts

Of course we have more 3D renders because showing a real product is so last year. No power numbers, no proof of units in the wild. Obvious SCAM is SCAM!

Plus the fact that the real ZTE corporation is located here www.zte.com.cn. The scammy site is seems to be a company registered in US. This screams of scam from a looong way.

"if its too good to be true, then it probably isn't"

6 TH/S @  23.89 BTC ...  at current difficulty it would make that back in 10 days... why on earth would someone sell it? and offer 30 day money back gurantee on product that ROIs in 10 days? Common sense is probably rolling in its grave...

yeah, seems fishy someone manufacturing 6TH machines fell under the radar for so long. should be easy enough to confirm.

I intend to coarsen. I want stark contrasts drawn. I want polarization. I will not quietly accept stateism so as not to upset anyone. I am not tolerant of our impending and increasing slavery.

They are abusing ZTE name.
ZTE is a Chinese company.
ZTE-Asic is a scam, no one speaks Chinese there.
A bit weird for a typical Chinese company.

Use Pinyin to contact them, do not use Chinese characters.
Google can translate Chinese characters, but not Pinyin.
No one can read pinyin at ZTE-Asic.
A Chinese company with workers who are illiterate in Pinyin.
Definately a scam.

I was about to do that too. I think one is enough. I wonder if they can/will sue them for using their company name.
