I agree the posted mail is most likely a scam. But the OP looks genuine, and these boards actually do exist (seen on other hardware review sites).
Not sure about user 'Biostar'. What makes you assume that the scammy mails were originated by him?

the user Biostar sent PMs to me and dropt asking if we would be interested in testing/reveiwing dev batch units, and included a list of specs and claims of the upcoming device.

I asked for proof that they are with Biostar, and have not received any yet. I was offhandedly asked if id be alright paying the shipping for free units (no price given).
Dropt reports very similar experience, albeit complemented by a fake email pretending to be from biostar but actually an email anonymising service. IIRC he was quoted an actual shipping price.

I suspect Biostar is indeed at work on a second generation board - the first one reviews well and is inline with other 110nm efficiency. A drop to 28nm and some redesigns for modularity would allow Biostar to make a good gen.2 in theory.

however, the username Biostar appears to be a scammer, looking for people who might pay shipping costs for a review unit. tread carefully

Same exact thing here, just no email.

I specifically requested an email a number of times.  When they deflected my request for escrow I told them I would be happy enough if they sent the btc payment request to me via email from a biostar email address (ie: sales@biostar-usa.com or sales@biostar.cn)

Wait... if I understand this right. $600 for 24Gh/s? What...?

Well, that sucks that wasn't actually Biostar responding to this thread. I am still not affiliated with either Biostar the company, or Biostar the scammer. I was asked to do this review by a friend who runs a hardware review website and was offered a BTC-24GH unit to review from Biostar, which is one of his regular review partners. I posted it here for the community to learn about the device. I hope it was a helpful review for those that heard about the device and wanted to learn more information about it. Let's hope the real Biostar sees our feedback and makes a better device the next time around.

Correct, but I haven't actually seen anywhere to buy one since I completed the review.

Wow, so user "Biostar" was actually scamming this whole time hoping to get some shipping money in BTC's...

There's so many pitfalls and scam artists in this industry, you really got to weed out the shysters from the reputable companies.

The company Biostar is definitely legit, it's just so easy for a Noob or uninformed member to make a mistake and send money to a shady member online, thinking they're going to provide a service to the BTC community.

Thankfully, no ones been scammed this time..
