Sorry, been distracted the past few days.  Forgot I needed to update this.  I am really not sure what this damn thing even is.  It looks like some sort of light up toy with 2 buttons, one says "LED" and one says "LASER".  There is this little ring attachment but I'm not sure what I am supposed to attach it to.  I was going to put in some batteries to figure out what it does, but when I pulled off the battery cover I discovered it took AAA and not AA.  Like 95% of electronics take AA but there has to be that one odd ball gadget or remote control that demands you go buy a few of AA's scrawny weakling little brother.  Not happening AAA!  Go away already, no one loves you!

Anyway, I know OP said his miner was hardware modified but unless this is an EXTREME modification, I'd say I got scammed.

Behold, my $133 chinese mystery toy!

That's a bike light.  The ring goes around your handle or back bar, and the contraption slides on top of that.

Well, I'm going to buy a bike and ride that thing 20 miles a day and I'll get in the best damn shape of my life.  Then I won't even feel like I got scammed because in the end it inspired me to better myself.  That will show him!

Or I'll eat this entire loaf of homemade banana bread I got from my mom's house yesterday, jerk off, take a nap, and forget about the whole thing.

Haven't made up my mind yet.

Well, clearly it was just about putting something in an envelope and getting it in the mail.  He could have just mailed a piece of paper with the words "You've been scammed!!".

Assuming he thought I would parade my tracking number around and start yelling about how they were legit.  I did make to sure to point out the fact that just because I had a tracking number doesn't mean they were legit, so hopefully no one ordered anything due to me.  All I did was volunteer to be the guinea pig and report the facts as they came in though.  Nothing to do but move on.  Good show zehash.com, and thank you for the most expensive bike light known to man.

Sadly, the industry 'scammers' still have that beat.  Behold, the $594 bike light:
http://www.amazon.com/NiteRider-Pro-3600-LED-Light/dp/B009H9RUQC

And yes, those have their share of followers similar to, say, Monster cables.  Bought by people who honestly don't know any better, but like to think that they're connoisseurs, and don't have the money for the real high market stuff.  Oh yes, there's even more expensive bike lights. ( Not that anybody on this forum should care, but: just buy a cheapo chinese flashlight that mounts to rails - much cheaper, about as reliable, more versatile, and if it does break, you just buy a new one for the same price as RMA'ing one of those expensive turds. )
Unfortunately they can't really be called 'scammers' because you do get exactly what's being advertised - the scam only being in the ridiculous mark-up on price.

Yeah thanks for testing out the service, I'm sorry you got scammed. Just goes to show us all what to look out for in the future. Scammers are everywhere now.

Wow, well I guess with the right marketing, you can convince people your stuff is truly the best just because it's the most expensive.  I suppose to a truly ultra-rich person, like top 0.01-0.1%, there isn't much of a difference between spending $5 on a bike light and $600 on a bike light.

Audiophiles are the best for that shit.  There is a sticky somewhere on the head-fi forums where this guy reviews a dozen different POWER CABLES.  Some of them costing hundreds or thousands of dollars.  And this guy is actually convinced they make a difference in the slightest.  Most delusional group of idiots I have ever seen.

Oh, and this one is classic.  The 13,500$ HMDI cable!  http://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-Diamond-52-49-Braided-Cable/dp/B00IL3TZSQ/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1423422923&sr=1-2&keywords=diamond+hdmi

Anyway, just had to throw that out there.  Abandon thread!

I heard on the radio the other day they were talking about 'perfect' $50k speaker cable on Amazon I think and some had been sold. Obviously people out there with more money than sense.
