They are not begging for pre-order cash. They built decent miners in the past. Delivered and not much of fuss was given or angry customers heard so until they have something to sell they are still a reasonably reliable bet to deliver something. Will it be viable money wise to own that equipment? Doubtful.
Did not not start the blade at 3000 usd and in then 2 months sell the same blade at 300usd. |

This may have already been covered in this thread so apologies of so. Just a wondering what else this company has done to have an obvious office set up like in their first post. One assumes this isn't their first venture? ಠ_ಠ Look at the post one above yours. Or the first post. Or the merger announcement.Also I can only imagine that front desk picture is to legitimize the company, to me it does quite the opposite. Of course there's no chance their logo is photoshopped on that first image?.... There's always a chance. Lot of effort to go through though, as they'd also have to photoshop their other appearances and maintain social media accounts to keep up appearances. Sorry to be the skeptic but seems it's better to ask questions in the bitcoin world before being scammed Fully understandable and recommended, but in this case... how would you get scammed, other than for some time of your eyeballs in reading this thread? Granted, you didn't read it, but you get the point I'm making: at this time they're not asking for money or selling any new product. |

I do not want to review this item. Let some one newer do a review.
I'd be happy to do a review with lots of info, pics, vids and statistics. I know you would do a good job. Thank you Sir.  I aslo will be more than happy to do a review if needed.  Prelude if you get one I can also help!  That could be cool, since you live close we could each do a review of it. Get 2 opinions out of 1 rig. You bring the beer I'll bring the electricity! Yeah a tag-team from north of the border eh! Both of these guys would do a good job. We do not get a lot of Canadian reviewers. I have my hands full this spring as the winter cold seems to have done damage to my home and I will be dealing with a contractor or two. Always fun (not) Damn, that sucks.  What happened to your house? |

Yeah I think that might be beneficial too. Just a front desk is really that convincing that there's a product to go with it. Do spondoolies know these guys personally? |

My fear is it will drop like a rock in price like they did last year. they sold blades for 3000 and before the first one was delivered they halved the prices. They sold blades as low as 125 dollars. They had a price war with gaw miners and it ended up killing the alt coin market. Of course you could say it was GAW miners fault. And all this is 1 year old news. I decided not worth holding out my hand looking for a review model. Let others have a chance. |

They were not the only one it was entire section of scrypt asics that drop overnight, and kept dropping. To be fair scrypt asics were bringing in a LOT especially if rented at a point back then. I guess we will find out, but I'm hoping that is a one time thing we don't have to worry about. |

So I'm hoping for good things. I wish we had updates as I'm interested what the product will be. |

Missed this announcement but this looks very interesting .Spondoolies-Tech commented on your thread which adds a lot of credibility given the behavior of other manufacturers.
Looking forward to the updates

Met Frank Lee Guo Hongcai in HK Bitcoin Conference last year very charismatic fellow. He has the pulse of the whole mining scene in China from what I remember. Arm around Frank guess he was checking things out. Should be interesting to see this as it moves forward. Gratz on the tapeout. === Edit. Mixed up slightly. Didn't realize they were named left to right. |

I have high hopes that Sfards will turn out to be a breath of fresh air like Spondoolies was. MinerEdge is looking interesting too!

So I'm hoping for good things. I wish we had updates as I'm interested what the product will be. The gridseed blades were nice. I have had as many as 17 of them running on 1 pc. but 11 or 12 ran better. They dropped in price like a rock but LTC dropped from 40 bucks to 3 bucks and scrypt crashed and burned like a mofo. This gear needs to let btc-256 work at under .4 watts a gh to be worth-while. It needs to clock to .3 watts a gh if you want to run underclocked. It needs to ship in under 45-60 days from today. A simple switch for all btc-256 or all scrypt would be better then dual mining. The worst it can do is dual mining of btc- scrypt with software auto switching.------------ This will only serve to hurt btc prices. It needs a decent price in the depressed btc price market. |
