Did this auction get all jacked up with a bunch of newbie bids?
If they're legit, do they know something I don't?

It's a bit strange, yeah. I wonder who would push the price that way. I don't hope AM as an honest company has to do such things! Well it's some nice pocket money for AM, while getting old inventory off the shelves. Both very good things for gen 4!

I just received a PM from 'freidcat' saying I won my lot of 60 @ .52. I got pretty excited until I went to reply to the PM and looked at the same. Watch out for scammers guys.

All fake accounts made today.

[markj113]

perhaps admin should dig around a little to see if they have the same i.p

Very suspicious

[Blazed]

So newbies registered to over pay for some gear..seems legit.

[markj113]

Monitor all the newbie accounts, if they all go dead we can assume its a scam and neg feedback the the op.

both those users are <10 posts and its really suspicious.

seriously, I was planning to bid but my absolute highest bid was going to be about 0.5BTC per unit considering the past technical dificulties and ~0.8w/gh efficiency. in comparison, the SP20 has better efficiency even at 1.5x the hashrate, and is only ~1.5btc/each

this strikes me as shady

[klondike_bar]

looking back at the bid the only "legitimate" ones i see are:

22 @ 0.43

1176 posts, legendary member

20@54
its cool how todays registered accounts are bumping the price ;]

252 posts, Sr. member

20 @ 0.42

118 posts, member (Ive dealt with him and he is legit)

60 @ .52 YUUUUUUUP!!!

67 posts, member

and some bids by nangong up to 0.8/ea


Most of the bids are by users with <10 posts, and pkuphy registered today, bid over 1.0btc/prisma (which as i mentioned is ludicrous since you get get 1.5x the hashrate out of the SP20 with an order as small as 3 units and they are far more reliable - and a 15pack is even 10% cheaper)

Im interested to know how a brand new forum account will have access to 40BTC, but i guess that's phasebirds problem now. this auction was a shame - I have my doubts that the winners plan to pay

My first thought was some oversea big players with some cheap to free power. Still high bid was really around .2btc off the prisma price back in October. The SP15 15pack wins hands down at that price and considering we are bidding with a minimum of 20 that's really the best comparison to use.

I might as well publicly declare it here: I'm building a .5MW farm, and these would be a nice way to get a head start on more machines. The title thread has the words 'Round One' so maybe we will see this kind of auction again. I enjoyed it for what its worth.

yeah the 15x SP20 is really the best comparison against 20x Prisma

 25TH/19kW/22.5BTC          vs      28TH/23kW/22BTC (according to the 1.1BTC/ea bid by coinchina)

a difference of 3TH/4kW/-0.5BTC  for equipment that is larger, cant underclock, and has an external ethernet controller. I dont understand whay the bid would be so high.
