A miner which use asicminer gen3 chip now on pre-sale, the poster is very famous in Chinese Bitcoin circle. This is the translation of the weibo post:

Miner presale Details:
Miner price :11000 RMB/T (1813 USD/T), full payment in advance.

In the weibo below, one people replys:
So cheap, is it Asicminer's chip?
Zhao replys:"Yes"
Then he ask again:
Asicminer's gen3 haven't tapeout yet, can it mass production in April?
Zhao replys:"Almost"

Is this legit?

If so how do I buy one?

Seems like a great deal. Half the price of a knc neptune and less power consumption.

they accept hosting miners for their customers, but you need to pay for the electricity fee, about 0.15 dollar per KWH

Can you buy one and have it shipped? Not really interested in hosting.

Hoping they will be selling gen3 cubes. Even though mining seems extremely unprofitable at these btc rates a gen3 cube would probably be the only asic I would buy right now (assuming $2/gh).

Even bitmain isn't looking that great at 2.7btc for only 200gh/s and like 3 x less efficient.

bitmain is 1.45btc per unit shipped.  dont know where you are getting 2.7btc from.

Thank you for all of your quick replies,

We will start to work on the following security implementations:

1. The option to Lock your account to a specific IP

2. Required 2FA for withdrawal / optional for order execution

3. Once 2FA is enabled, you will be required to enter your 2FA to view the private key or to disable 2FA on your account.


Once again thank you for all of your support,

Havelock Investments

Good ideas. But I have lost everything. Too late for me. I knew the risks coming in. But I have just lost $50,000 + even though i had 2FA enabled

I won't bother posting again. You didn't reply to my support email so I will safely assume you aren't going to do anything to help me out.

Time to move on, out of bitcoins. The risk was always obvious. Its only when it hits you in the face your realise how real the risk is.

To repeat, I don't believe I was keylogged. Nothing else has been stolen such as other coins or paypal or bank stuff. No check I have run on my Mac suggest I have keylogging software installed. This was a very professional job from people that knew exactly how havelock worked. Not havelock employees, why would they do that? But hackers very intimate with how havelock worked.

I don't know what to  say now. Its been the worst 48 hrs of my life. I'll leave it at that. Peace.

that is a unlucky thing. I wanted to transfer my derect AM shares to havelock serveral days ago,but I feel havelock is not safe enough ,so I didnt .I think havelock is lazy,it has  been a long time since btct is closed and  havelock  became the only one stock exchange,havelock should do better

why not add  the option to Lock  a specific  withdraw address?  if want to change withdraw address need to wait 24 hours and a confirmed email ,btct had the option and I think it is good.

another problem,when I click "sign in/register" button in Havelock,it sometimes go to "Home ". the layout is bad

A few questions for Havelock:
Is your system based on a compiled language
do you use a strong encryption algorithm to store confidential information on the database
are your servers HDs encrypted
Do you have exclusive access with locks to your servers holding personal and account details
are your backups held in a secure place
Do you check IP login patterns based on geografical location

Questions for the account holder at havelock:
do you type your password every time you login
is you computer used to access your account password protected
do you always check carefully the URL when you login
has your password ever been typed or written in a computer apart from the login prompt
do you often change your password
do you use numbers and case sensitive characters for your password
When you enter your password do you make sure nobody is looking over your shoulder.

If all answers are yes it would be quite hard for anyone to break in any account,  or an inside job by somebody with access to the servers such as havelock employees or cleaners, or people handling the backups or the servers.

Actually I don't think they will use chips from AM in the first patch of miner.

FYI, they have their own ASIC chips and it is already taped out.

If its not using asicminer chips I would be cautious. Specs are nice but I would need to see a working product before sending my money.

Indeed they have ordered wafers from AM, but AM is NOT their ONLY supplier.

According to what he said in a QQ group, their have their OWN chips and would also order chips from KnC and Avalon.

April 20 is not the deadline for shipment, but for the launch of their own hosting service.

Estimated delivery date is from Apr. 20 to 27. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Why would they want to use knc less efficient chips when they will be shipping months after AM.

Could be that, a hacker found a security hole on havelock but was smart enough not to do things too suspicious, so he attacked one small fish, and waiting to do more bit by bit.

Why?

Why not empty havelocks hotwallet while you can? Soon they will add some better security features hopefully preventing things like this.

Anyways we should stay on topic. Or create a separate thread for discussion about the hack.

He didn't have 2fa set up? So no one cares...how many times do we have to tell people to use 2fa?

Yeah, back to AM!

[CMMPro]

I've never heard of even one legit claim that using a secure password, and 2fa someone was cleaned out like this.

I would say for him to look a little closer to home...if he has no keylogger, remote desktop trojan etc. than start looking at anyone who may have had physical access to his pc....girlfriend, best friend, dog...who knows.
