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.

the picture looks identical to an Avalon 741... i think this is surely a scam especially with the name lol...

also the phone number on their site comes back as a number for the infamous "IRS Scam"

Thank you for the reply and no offence taken at all since i am the one that is most suspicious here Grin

. I joined here and created this thread to actually solve the mystery of this uknown miner.
As you said this looks like beyond fishy. I found out about this miner when i saw this add:

https://www.gumtree.com/p/desktop-workstation-pcs/asinity-ax-888-miner-with-psu-15ths-used-/1280971685

Then i searched and found their website.
On their livechat when they tried to pursuade me about their product, they said "wait" until they sent me a picture of it. Guess what did they send me.... It was the picture of this addvertisment. And when i pointed this out to them they just said "oh i just did a google search" and then they send me some random photos of unboxed miners which of course could not lead to any deduction.

The last and most important thing pointing out that this is a scam:
On their livechat they informed me that this is a new company that was selling parts before and now entered retailing and they now operate for 1 month. HOWEVER if you look closely to this add, this guy states that he was using the miner for 2???!!!!

Anyway i would really love to get more responces on that to see whether i am wrong or not but i really think that this is a well designed scam that might trick some people into losing money...

No offense here, but a Brand New member creating a thread about a Brand New, never before seen machine,
seems a little more than Phishy. When you look at the site, the machine is clearly a rendered copy of an Avalon.
When you read some of the specs, it clearly states there are 2 fans, but there isn't. And now that I've pointed
this out, I wouldn't be suprised if the site suddenly states: This picture is a Rendered Example.

Thanks for the reply. Something is just not right... They say that they operate the last month but noone said anything about this product (which would be a game changer)

the definition of Asininity is , foolish, unintelligent, or silly; stupid.

When I questioned them about no visible TOS when I asked there live chat they said "We do have a TOS confirmed reservations, no payments are processed until a reservation is guaranteed. You can only pre order which reserves you a space in our queue."

1+ well there live support allegedly passed my math question 5x5 the live support isn't a bot it seems to me so this MAY be legit.

payment: they use bitcoin as there only payment most legit companies use PayPal so...a bit sketchy here.

1+ they have a SSD on there site most scam sites (mostly ALL) don't have a SSD so this may be legit.

I did some fake info to get to payment and it said "Due to how saturated sales are right now we are not able to offer instant purchases for our customers." what is a bit sketchy

What I been digging around in I would wait till they have a review from a trusted source to see if legit. Hold it off for a while.

Hello there to everyone

I am new to this forum and this is my first message Grin

I want to ask if anyone knows about this miner:

https://www.asinity.com/product-page/asinity-ax-888-asic-miner

Its specifications are quite impressive, but something seems really wrong since i can not find anything about it on the internet. They claim on their live chat that they are new to retail though...

Do you believe that this is a scam? Too good to be true?

Any answer would be really helpfull!
