Topic: BUY/SELL ASIC MINING STUFF (Read 5359 times)

I wish I would have saw this thread earlier, I lost 2.19 BTC myself, damn.  It fully appears that asic-shop.com is a scam site run by "Olegs Smirnovs" from Latvia. Payment was sent to bitcoin wallet 18HbXyuJkUijnn25C1XPhNHcXfgBNU7eBB

The website is run on Wix.com, I'll be contacting them shortly as well to alert them to the fraud taking place.


** UPDATE **
As an update, the good folks over at Wix.com (where asic-shop.com was hosted) realized it was scam too (after reading our thread here) and suspended the website account. 

Hopefully anyone searching google (like i did) to see if asic-shop.com was a scam will read this thread if it pops up on another webhost someday.  Until then, at least no one else will lost BTC for today.  Angry, but lesson learned the hard way.

Never got anything from them. 2 BTC pissed to the wind. No tracking. No e-mail support. No confirmation (other than BTC sent away.)

Just an FYI... and an expensive lesson.

probably the merchantpay account or whatever they were using.

Something just went fishy... No matter what I try to buy it says "account blocked".   There are no accounts on this site so how can I be blocked.  Changed my IP and used random PC from a friends still saying account blocked.  Seems like scam central and I sent someone to this site who tried to get a KNC saturn.   

This is likely a scam.

I placed an order monday and have not received a response.

Still no tracking number, finger getting very itchy over the trust button.

Multiple people have bought and paid for the same miners

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wts-knc-saturn-2400-326833

Be very careful

Still waiting for tracking number.

Did you buy something through the website?

What was your experience?

It was slow to change for the ones I ordered, think they might be doing it manually.

We have bought 3 items and the payment is confirmed.

I do not understand why these items still appear unsold at your website?

2 BFL singles.

Awesome, keep us posted! What did you buy if you don't mind me asking?

Trying it out. Sent BTC, got order confirmation, waiting for tracking number...

Hi,

I am interested in 2 units saturno:

KnC Saturn 240Gh/s - USED
$ 3100
Location: EU
Shipping: EU
Q-ty: 6
 
New, 1 day used. Full kit. Overnight shipping in EU. Shipping and escrow fees included. Price per 1 unit.


I pay by bank transfer.

A photo of the test mining and hashes. It would be nice

A greeting.

ah, i just thought i'd mention that your sig owns

Most is overpriced but then all asic hardware is.

I'd be tempted buy the UK jupiter, but not sending 22 BTC to a new website when there is so little information.

I understand the desire to keep all the listings the same size, but when you click on one, it should provide more info, ie real photos of the unit, pictures of it hashing, location, would the buyer allow payment on collection etc etc

Am interested in buying unit depending on if a price can be arranged local pick up and bank wire payment. Emailed and pmd you on here. Regards

You found something that was actually priced at a price worth buying?

The fact that their prices are so absurdly high does lend a little legitimacy to the site, though

i was just wondering the same thing...

Anyone actually bought something from this site?

Any word from anyone who has actually purchased from this site?
I'm interested but the refusal to use a another trusted, third party escrow makes me nervous.

Sold already are 3 miners(2-positions)!

We need more sellers - guys help us, and we will help You!

Added 2 new positions with overnight shipping.

All terms are written on the web-site - how and where to apply for ad. Thank You for understanding.

Update 03/11/2013
Little price list update on the web-site! Few sellers agreed to refuse prices.

Well,

I have (2) Redhash miners, (2) Avalon Mini's, and an array of BE's that are overclocked. Looking for buyers. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wts-lot-of-336ghash-of-asic-equipment-parts-323078

More sellers needed!

Have You read what kind of project we run? All products listed on the web site does not belong to us.


All prices comes from sellers, we can't change them without their permission.




P.S If You are interested in some products - why You write here? All contacts are on the web-site - ask there, not here.

Now is so late for buying this BTC miner,

1. The price for BTC miner is $ 3-4 USD/Gh   http://tinyurl.com/n3e45d6
2. 65 Gh/s no more profitable  http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/a/0442f72033
3. 600 Gh/s also no more profitable http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/a/a2d607361b

sure,

i'll buy these:

BFL BitForce 60Gh/s - USED
$ 825
Location: US
Shipping: US
Q-ty: 2 items

but not for $825 each, that's absurd price

i'll give you $1000 for them both, you ship here first, then i pay.  you can look at my trust feedback

thanks

I like the I don't care option in the poll

This information was provided by the seller. We will check the seller and item once again, thank You. This ad will be switched off while checking.

@desto from your home page


the first knc miner was shipped on October the third, just saying.

One of the ideas was to offer buyers stable and unchangeable price. Bitcoin value is permanently changes. It is good both for sellers and buyers - buyers won't overpay but sellers won't loose money if bitcoin value falls. At present time sellers agreed with us. If for some of the seller will be in principle to sell in bitcoins - we will post listing in bitcoins.

If you want to establish credit here, you will really need to deal with a reliable escrow service that everyone already trusts. Once you do that, then maybe you can ease into your own. Otherwise, there are just too many scammers (EVERYWHERE) and hardly anyone is to be trusted. You must surely understand whether your intentions are best or worst; it is just the nature of the business

Cool site. However why did you choose USD as the default currency? Why not bitcoin? I know you guys accept bitcoin but it should be the currency you see on the main page. Just my opinion. Still a cool site and I think I'll be trying it out soon 

Or maybe have one of those escrows where the third party only needs to get involved if there's a dispute?  M of N, I think.

I like this project, The problem is with the trust in escrow, People here see alot of new people starting new things, And alot of them turn out bad, I'm in no way saying your bad, This is the world of bitcoin, People ask who are you? why should I trust you to hold 1$$$?

Something like this needs time to get established, This project has a place here but needs to avoid handling BTC to start off, Is there a way of securing your own escrow? Maybe add a listing fee, If no one buys the fee is reversed, If it sells, You keep the fee.

People are selling at reasonable prices, This will help you start off.

Good luck.

We will continue work on this project and try to improve it.

Low quantity is just because we have just started this project. I had to sell my own miner for less than I could get - simply to get at least one feedback...

Anyway tomorrow I will talk with my guys about closing of the project, but I really hope, that buyer of my miner is from this community...

We aren't saying we don't need your great hardware and pricing.  We're saying it looks too good to be true.  Hardware like this would have made it to the market already unless this project is maintained by a pac.

Anyway. It looks too good to be true. Lets see some more evidence of satisfied customers.  But that's difficult due to your low quantity of items.

- Where is the problem, that domain name was registered yesterday?
- Yes, protected. Why should we let anybody know and use our personal information?
- Where is the problem that we use PAID Wix.com hosting?
- Yes, Google hosted mail. It can be paid by months, not for whole year like on GoDaddy. Where is the problem?



P.S. I can call scammer everybody here who didn't had any deal yet, but is trying to do. You all blame, that we need to inform people about bitcoins, that we need to project related with bitcoins, that we need to do something... At the same time - instead of helping in project development you push new projects deep in to shit...


P.P.S Tomorrow project will be closed...


Thank You...


We thought about that, but as nobody needs our project it is going to be closed...

Nice Project!

Good luck

I have no bitcoins.   How do u accept usd payments

This domain name was registered YESTERDAY.

WHOIS protection.

WIX.COM was used for development/hosting

Uses generic stock photos

Only accepts bitcoin as payment and does the escrow by themselves?

Their phone county code is from Latvia

Sounds like a scam put together overnight.

Answer for first question - few posts higher. Read more carefully.

Every parcel must be well packed and insured.

This is my concern as well.
What happens for example if I order a KNC Jupiter and find that it is only hashing at 235 ghash or something like many on the KNC forums are reporting.
How would I prove that this is the case and how would you handle it?
What if something is damaged during shipping?

I understand and I was awaiting questions...
We will be happy to hear any ideas how to make our project more secure.
Great thanks for all members who are helping us.

MAny thanks for your answers, I'am sutisfied with them. I hope you did not misunderstund my post as a warning to stay away off your site. Just an opposite, wanted to get some clearification as a potential buyer. MY biggest concern aside of not getting the miner at all, is to get something not as advertised and then how to prove it.
There should be a way of you being able to confirm both seller and the buyer, tehnology would make it posible. Seller record boxing and buyer unboxing is also posibillity.
Any idea I have will share by pm.
Wish you best in this service

p.s.
Sorry for my English too

All questions about the seller and his offered product are verified by our team. We take all responsibility for the products we list. If something goes wrong - buyer receives paid coins + compensation from seller(0.5BTC) and our team(0.5BTC). Any mistake will cause our profit loose, so we are not interested in such mistakes. You should not worry about that.

Pictures in the listings were taken from the i-net for better web-site look.

About buyers - You think so? Lets take for example eBay - a lot of scammers who wants to get both - product and money. So even buyer has reason to lie. If miner does not work buyer must contact us and send it to us as fast as possible. If we check and miner doesn't work - we refund escrow + compensation + additional shipping fee for sending it to our team. All further questions with seller - it's our problems. We think 1 BTC is quite enough compensation for such unconveniences(if not - let us know). BUT! If miner is in working order and all as advertised all fees + compensation to us and seller + additional shipping costs will be deducted from buyers payment, left amount will be returned to the buyer.

We have just started our service and it is in testing now. As You can see, bitcointalk members help us to find and correct mistakes in our source(again many thanks for such help!). Project is still in development stage. If You have some ideas, how to improove our escrow terms or something like that, please contact me via PM with Your offer. Maybe we will offer some kind of bonus for helping us in project development.

If You think that I or our team will create such project, loose time, loose some amount of money, for 1-2 scam sales - You are wrong. If You think that our team is still not so safe to use - nobody force You to use our source. You can sit and wait till we get enough reputation to make You trust us.


If You have any more questions - feel free...

P.S. And sorry if there are some grammatic mistakes in my writings. My english is not so good yet.

Hello
Nice site, can you please advice why is only one general picture from the seller, examle is jupiter with public knc jupiter. How we can verify does seller has the miner before we pay to the escrow?
What to do if we receive the miner what does not work or something as not as advertised? Seller can claim many things, but think about it, buyer want the miner for the price he already paid, so buyer does not a reason to lie.
Some specific escrow fine print must be published. Also can you accept escrow agnet from this forum (sebastian ju, john k etc) Sorry, but you as a escrow agent are still not safe to use.
Thanks for answers 

Sorted, Thanks  

We bought domain name through GoDaddy, because there is much cheaper than in other places and our so called "web-master" told me to switch that option on. If it will change something - we can try to switch it off.



I'm using ff/win7 - no problems. Try "Ctrl" + "-". I'll call our "web-master" to check it out, maybe something is wrong. Thank You for discovering possible problem.

Am I the only one that cant see the left hand listings fully?

I use firefox/win7 and it's scrolled as far left but most of the listing is off the screen.
