I do not know whether it is from Czech, but if you want to address here is to report to the police http://aplikace.policie.cz/hotline/

and 4.5 TH in a box no bigger than KnCMiner/Hashfast/Cointerra's box.  seems pretty hard to believe.

and no mention of chips or specs or anything, nor any delivery dates.

and no mention of engineering talent nor anything else that gives you a warm feeling.

does seem too good to be true.

They re- 'invented' scam :-(

Nice idea, almost better than BFL Monarch... but unfortunately quite hard to fit everything in 3.5" space... unless they've invented somehing really cool

payment method, Bank transfer & Bitcoin only = SCAM

This made me laugh = 200G Hash card = 3.5" HDD Bay



200G Hash Card
An expansion card designed for the Nitro Miner Basic. The 200G Hash Card performance is 200 GH/s.

Expansion card is ready to use, just simply plug it into the dock in the front panel of our bitcoin miner - Nitro Miner Basic. The control unit of bitcoin miner takes care of optimizing the system.

If you look on Google map at their address is a jewelry shop. However, it is possible to register a company in UK on another address than the place where your factory or real business is. I have opened a legal company in UK from my desktop in Romania in about one hour, paid all fees, about 70 pounds in total, so it is easy to have a legal company in UK, doesnt matter where in Europe do you live!

They are scams I think, as they do not have any tel number and the images of their so called miners are some strange devices with no visible labels etc...

However, if they are real, will have o answer my email and also will have to come here and show their faces :-)

At least BFL and Avalon actually designed working ASICs which I'm quite sure NitroMiner will never do. Delivering the ASICs on time... well that's another story altogether.   

Like BFL and Avalon?

This.

If they are based in the UK, why is their English so bad!

Anyone claiming to sell custom ASICs who hasn't posted an announcement in this forum is most definitely a scam!  If they were legit, they would post here so knowledgable people could vet them.  Scammers like this are praying on the ignorant and the ill-informed.

Hello,
I came across a website that looks like a scam. Here it is http://www.nitrominer.com
