Well I ordered 1 unit from them today now that they got Credit Card payments up and running and they take AMEX and if they don't deliver on the goods or its a scam Amex will refund my money.

Lets see how it goes!

From their website:

Quote

ASINITY Generation Ltd. is a privately-owned multi-national semiconductor company headquartered in San Fransico, Los Angeles.

Err, what? San Francisco or Los Angeles? And also, of course you won't tell us the address. The only surprising thing about this scam is the credit card payment, but of course they can later put some excuse and ask for crypto, or just steal and sell credit card info.

No it’s not San Francisco it’s San Fransico 😂😂

Good catch, I didn't see that typo. What a scam.

Hi all,
When I saw this, I immediately though it was a scam, but I bought one with a credit card because I felt protected. It was too good of a deal to pass up if it were for real. Two days later, I get the following cancellation. They area steering me to pay with bitcoin. There is no way I would recommend paying this "company" with bitcoin directly - you have no protection when they don't ship you anything. If anyone gets one of these, please let us know? It is really looking like a scam now.

...

So you read everything on this thread and still decided to order one? we have been saying over and over again that its a scam and not even a real miner... Huh

Im surprised they are even going to refund you... weird.

Thanks for pointing that out. I think it's valid enough that I locked the card.

So I'll have to quote myself:

Unfortunately I should have said and steal your credit card info. Watch out for fraudulent charges to that card...

Dear, .

Unfortunately we have had to cancel and refund your order for the AX- 888 ASIC Miner due to our merchants request.

Your full refund has been reimbursed and should appear back into your bank account depending on your bank, the usual refund estimate is between 7-10 days.

This cancelling is due to our merchant(s) request as they were not able to verify your order, this procedure is in place to prevent fraudulent activity as we have been facing issues regarding this for a while now.

We have not made this decision from our end, it is our merchants to keep us, our customers & our merchant safe.

You can always re-order using another payment method after you have received your refund or check out as a manual payment which is primarily used for Bitcoin payments.

We apologies for any inconvenience we hope you can understand our merchants decision.

I am not too worried AMEX makes stuff like this no hassle for me. As for the number coming up as a IRS SCAM number, you would be shocked how easy
it is to spoof callerid, my personal number which I have had for 25 years comes up as a spammer number for some reason on some sites.

We will let it play out and I will let everyone know hows it goes.

The support number they posted has been used in IRS scam calls:

http://www.whytheycalled.com/415-800-3082/

Yes, a credit card gives you protection, but its also possible they can steal your CC and resell, which can be a big hassle to clear up.

They dont mention needing a control board, use a picture of an Avalon A7, claim they have front and back fans, so the pictures on their site dont match what they claim.

After doing some research I found a Chinese company that manufacturers miners and sells them to Avalon, Asinity which they rebrand and sell for like x3 the price, I tried contacting TSMC the manufacturer and they confirmed it but won't sell directly to individuals even if you're buying bulk, I'm still not going to pay them that much until I start seeing legit reviews and again you can just buy avalons miners which are more trusted which are weaker but cheaper also

Avalon is a brand, not a company.
TSMC does not manufacture miners, they only manufacture chips.

Funny how you can see, newbie comes, mentiones some "New ultra mega giga super cool flying oposum(awesome) miner"... And after that XX newbies(< 10 posts) come and confirm "we will order" "i ordered XXXX units" yadda yadda yadda... Your IQ should be < 50 if you fall for this...

You are wrong, a person with an IQ of 50 can't read, definitely can't use a computer. They are more likely targeting IQs between 70 and 80, that's 6% of the world population, about 450 million people. Plenty of idiots to profit from.

Hi All

Im new to this forum.
Been looking to get into the bitcoin mining, lastnight I got followed by Asinity via Instagram so I decided to check them out but there is nothing out there about them. I did a lot of googling and came across an ad on Gumtree, from a guy selling 2 of them in the UK. I decided to contact him via whattsapp.

Last night when I was talking to the guy via Whattsapp he said that I can come and view/collect the miners from him, surely if it was a scam they wouldn't allow you to come to their house to collect?
Also while chatting to him last night he mentioned something suspicious, someone had contacted him via LiveChat and asked if he was legit and then asked him whats 5x5...., I can only assume that this was @Fbo62.
My next question would be then, why if someone is contacting the LiveSupport of Asinity did it come through to this guy who placed the ad?
His reason for selling them was that he got caught rigging his electricity and got a 10k pound fine, so he was selling his 2 Asinity miners and 3 Antminers.

I so badly want to believe that this is a valid miner, but cant afford to waste that amount of money.

Regards
Francois

This is a scam, don't go for it.

You have this pain called fear of missing out.

Here comes another new account to provide some info that will somehow lighten the situation. How come you or the account that responded before, only talked in that thread in order to support the ASINITY SCAM?
Jesus, your scam is now ruined and you can't do anything about it. Too bad you spent a lot of time designing that...

Please explain how me giving my experience when looking into the this miner constitutes me to be a scammer?
I came across the make via Instagram because they started following me, so i went to their website, I then googled and could only find 1 thing regarding this new miner and that was the Gumtree ad. I proceeded to contact the seller...

P.S I managed to order my whatsminer's this morning, so freaking chuffed.

Its not JUST A SCAM. Its a scam you as a person are involved in. Coming here to provide info that will somehow lighten the situation. Also you with your friends did the same on trustpilot.com which you wrote things such as "miner came without psu, live chat is not responding", trying to degrade somehow the thing in order for everyone to believe it. You came now in this forum thinking that everyone is an idiot.

Listen, i created this thread to reveal scamers like you and at least try to save some people from losing their money.

ASINITY AX - 888 IS AN OBVIOUS SCAM

Oh trust me I am waiting for those miners. Just hope they haven't increased their price like all the other sites, i will be very bleak to say the least.
Only thing I don't like is the power consumption.

Indeed I do.

I have R80k that I want to invest into some miners, my parents own a farm with 3 phase power and it has a flat on it that I can use as a "data center" for the miners.
Dam issue is that when ever I try to buy the miners their price has gone up. Im looking at getting some whattsminers if their price hasn't gone up drastically. Then build it up to about 20-30 miners.

WhatsMiner hardware is legit.

Only official shop to buy those is through Pangolinminer company www.pangolinminer.com

They should have sales open again in about 20 hours.
