A more intellingent-sounding scam, but nevertheless still a scam. Their IP address 162.222.213.136 is the same as uswhss.com (both registered recently), and here is an article linking uswhss to butterfiylabs.com (note the deliberate misspelling):

I dunno, sounds just as legit as unicornmining right?

Mine @ pools that pay Tx fees & don't mine empty blocks :: kanopool :: ckpool ::
Should bitmain create LPM for all models?

Their sensationalist sounding phrase "shockingly-faster switching speed" did kind of strike me originally as somewhat odd given the straight-forward technical jargon on their homesite. Kind of like supermarket tabloid language suddenly meets high tech. Too bad it is a scam.

Damn, I bought a few shares on the IPO before checking more thoroughly. Seems like a scam. Is there anyway of getting funds back on cryptostocks while its in IPO?
Note the similarity:

did you already emailed to cryptostocks.com? normally they are going to take off this scam attempt as they did another scrypt hashing asics company scam.

$10,000 for 125 TH/s, where do I sign up!   Shocked

No, seriously.  Where do I sign up.   Tongue

Quite a ballsy scam production if I must say so.

The dead give away is the supposed pricing.  If you actually had a miner that powerful that you could manufacture for such a low cost you would be a complete idiot to undercut yourself by that much on the pricing compared to all the other offerings out there right now.

Our twitter account got hacked: a post damaged our credibility. Competition trying to scare us? It didn't work, we are here to stay and win!


Ohh good....they have already been hacked like all good scam pre-order folks.

I only have a signature because I'm allowed.

on the photobullshit scam site:

"PhotonicMining is a spin-off of Onefive, a cutting-edge Swiss company which provides femtosecond lasers for different industrial applications. Thanks to its tight collaboration with Swissphotonics, the Swiss national thematic network for photonics, we received a bottom-up funding from the CTI in 2012 to explore new industrial applications."


Just got a mail back from oneFive asking if they where related to photonicmining, their reply:

"Not at all! SPAM!"

Still they managed to scam 100's of BTC from gullible investors.

I wouldn't put it past them to set up a fake CryptoStocks account and buy their own stock just to make themselves look good (and make an announcement about it)... or maybe that's just me clinging on to the hope that no one is foolish enough to part with such a huge amount of money on the basis of a website and some wild claims...
