let me fire up this computer again...looks like they just came back online a little bit ago. They were down yesterday and this morning

I can see the website, no need to DDOS. Anyone dumb enough to send money to people who can't spell and who put up a pic of a router next to a shit mouse and 5 year old iPod as 'proof' deserves to loose their money tbh.

Lose.

Loose is the opposite of tight, or restrictive.

It seems they were inspired by Cedartec and anon64's stupidity.

Goonies never say die.

At least their honest about the 'plug and play' capabilities... and the easy install software disc that always came with those modems Cheesy

that looks exactly like the same board from my old adsl modem i had made by smd. also look what a quick google search found

http://www.123rf.com/photo_12087395_sircuit-of-external-adsl-modem.html almost exactly the same layout.

Yeah I don't buy this for a second.

Look at it. Row of green LEDs on the front, single yellow phone/ethernet in and power, no cooling solution of any kind. This is a broadband modem motherboard. I'm searching around to see if I can find this exact one somewhere.

EDIT

Yeah they must think we are pretty stupid...

Please don't send your money to these people, people...they barely even put in the effort to scam you of your coin.

Can anyone see a simple adsl modem motherboard in that picture on the main site? i can see a phone line plug (the grey port) next to a inductor coil (the yellow and black box next to it) the yellow network connector, next to a switch, next to a barrel type power plug? with the caption under the picture: "mage above: main control board + my ipod and mouse for scale." and that soldered aluminium can is EMS shield for the SoC...

sorry, when i looked at the post, clicked the link, passed all other posts and went eh, no, obvious fake...

That aluminium(?) plate shield near the top taking 1/3 of the board space looks like something from a telecommunications board. I've seen it is modems, cable phone equipment. Yellow ethernet slot...

Yep electro magnetic shield cage to stop RF escaping.

Just that little spat on the front page is enough for me, even if the are serious I don't do business with whiny children.

Doesn't matter if they are a scam. Read the FAQ. 155.2W at 3.3GH/s at best.

So, 21.26MH/J. An X6500 FPGA has better efficiency (23.25MH/J).

With such a sob-story in "About Us," it's pretty clear they are a scam. Not to mention that board seems to have some things I don't think it should have.

If it's all true though, they failed pretty hard when they could have mass-ordered some Spartan 6 FPGAs, built some boards and had better efficiency miners with those.

And for a "graduate of Napier University in Edinburgh" he has really shitty English skills. The grammar. It burns my eyes.

in the world of smd circuits, that does look a bit old school
