Well good luck with your group buy.

Please let us know if there is more than a $30 savings as posted above so we can all pile on orders.

Good luck to you all that have had the encourage to enter into this. Alas, while monitoring the situation from day one I cannot reconcile a number of things in order to take the plunge. Most importantly to me and in particular is the blatant plagiarizing of KNC miners terms and conditions. Word for word save for the company name. Now, KNC miner I would expect hired a proper lawyer to make these terms and conditions in accordance with the laws of where KNC is domiciled.  For Flower Tech to simply lift them and copy them on their website substituting their name and the location, are these legal terms and conditions in fact even valid in Canada should something go wrong? You cannot just take someone else's legalese from one country and summarily plug it into your country. I don't appreciate that. The other tiny technical concern was the masquerading as a *.INC a corporation before actually becoming one. Records show while claiming to be incorporated Flower Tech was in fact a sole proprietorship. Registration to incorporate came after the fact on January 2014.  These aren't merely "mistakes" or "typos" or little exuberant over sights.

The units are expected to ship in Q2/Q3

Let's be honest here. Q3 at best. Probably Q1 of 2015 IF this is a legit venture.

Even if this wasn't a scam, who would want to risk a pre-order on something being developed when the UK http://www.yareah.com/2014/02/17/litecoin-dogecoin-asic-mining/ version is already out!

I believe alpha-t pre-orders are all sold out

Also, I checked out flowers website, they only quote $30 for shipping to UK, so we would buy via you because??

@miaviator - Of course you will still have warranty if bought with me, nothing changes other then you get free shipping. For your other questions I do not know anything personal about them but I do know that the product is produced in UK by Ensilica

Yes you can mine any alt coin and with me you save on the shipping costs which would get pretty pricey for some people

It's great that you live so close and have been in contact.  I would love to save on shipping costs to bring the price to an even more profitable level!

Can you answer some additional questions for me since you have been in contact with the company you may know these things:

If it voids their terms of service to use the device for personal or non-business use does it also void the warranty if we buy through you?

Also could you explain why the domain is registered by the CEO?

Also why the company or the CEO lives in such a shoddy apartment?

Also why the company CEO uses a gmail account?

The product description was taken directly from the actual product page, do not criticize me for it

https://www.flowertechnology.com/product/orchid/

Well My apologies then.

A few more questions:

Quote
1.2   The Products are sold for business use only and Purchaser hereby accepts that it has purchased the Products in order to conduct a business.

So you are using the device for the business of reselling?

Do I have to use the device in order to conduct a business? or can I use it to personally mine for alt coins?

Also why would we buy from you instead of direct?

Yes you can mine any alt coin and with me you save on the shipping costs which would get pretty pricey for some people

So we have to trust YOU and Flower power?  Wow double whammy.

Connectivity
USB   -  Orchid miners can connect to an external computer and be controlled via an Android host or standard Linux or Windows computer.
Ethernet  -  (Exploring opportunity to include WiFi connectivity as well)

Quote
The units themselves are 1U and rack mountable, following all generic specifications for data-center usage.  Each unit can easily be connected to via their own WebGUI for setup and monitoring.
With our regular connectivity such as USB and Ethernet it allows for even beginners to quickly and effortlessly boot up and begin mining.

So It might have Ethernet and it might use cgminer but it definetly has a web GUI for setup  Grin Grin Grin

Did anyone even try when writing this thing up?

I don't care if it's scam or not.

I am hosting a group buy for the new FlowerTechnology Asic Scrypt Miner (http://flowertechnology.com/) which is being produced in Canada and chips being made by http://ensilica.com/. I am local to the area of where the product will be built and shipped from so thought why not start a group buy and in return you get free shipping instead of paying the huge shipping fee if you went directly with the company.

The units are expected to ship in Q2/Q3

Send 1.5BTC to 15s5fQvaKVjmhBNBL2Lp3c5FWppUQCwH9x which is only a %50 down payment for now until we get closer to shipping date, then I will collect the remaining payment.

Act quick as it will be only a limited amount of spots available, I am thinking only 10 or so
