Topic: Cant tell if scam or not (Read 821 times)
Wow, I guess I stumbled upon something bigger than I though xD. However the case may be, I am still in the market for one or to antminer S1 asics, and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. Im happy I could provide some assistance with the Bitcoin community, and keep up the good work!
The scam site link was placed all over the wiki. I've corrected every last one.
There was more than one geez thanks Tara's for fixing them all
Guess that 0.00001 got you in front of the line XD
Wonder if there was a user who did that in all cases then they should be flagged and deleted if its all one person putting up a fake site.
Thats the problem with wiki: the author of the article was the "scammer" and included his own link. And they made alot of other articles too.
We've blocked the user from editing.

Scam.
It somehow links to an "official website" which is https://www.bitmaintechs.com/.
That is fake.
The real one is https://bitmaintech.com/.

It was actually somehow on the Bitcoin Wiki. Very misleading, how did it even get there.

Is you question if the Antminer S1 is legit? Or did you find a seller your asking about.
The S1 is legit for sure and most sites that sell them are legit. Ordering direct from bitmain is how I got mine but they are sold out right now. Where in the world are you? That will help you decide what reseller to use.

Hello guys, Im new to the bitcoin forums, and I am in need of your help. I am looking to buy a bitmain AntMiner S1 and the website looked a little suspicious. The first link ( https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison ) is to the bitcoin wiki mining hardware comparison, and if you click on the AntMiner S1 it takes you to another page (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/AntMiner ), then if you click on the link to the oficial website it brings up this https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/AntMiner which almost looks too good to be true, but since it was on the bitcoin wiki I want to trust it and not dismiss it out of hand. If anybody could provide any assistance, a response would be greatly appreciated by a younger mining enthusiast! Thank you, and may the hashes be ever in your favor xD.
