I have updated the article to reflect that he is in fact a scammer for others that may need to go ahead and file a claim with Paypal on the matter. Please see the article at http://www.brandonorndorff.com and leave comments for others as well as letting me know if there is anything else that should be added.
Thank you all for your comments and support.
Topic: Custom ASIC Mining Rig by MrBitcoin916 (Read 1852 times)
So I'm not sure if anyone here has ordered a custom ASIC mining rig from MrBitCoin916 although I have and wanted to document the purchase process so that others that have heard of him know what to expect. I am in no way saying that he is legit at this point but wanted to make others aware of what has happened so far.
I purchased a 50GHash ASIC from MrBitCoin916 on June 4th and have high hopes that I will get it soon. This being said I have seen nothing besides a few images of the rig being tested in Slush's pool. If anyone has any thoughts please let me know as well as anyone else who have ordered one (your inout would be greatly appreciated)
Below is the article that I have started and will add pictures and video of the rig (or lack thereof) as I have more to share:

Is this satire? It sure sounds like satire. I really hope for for your sake that this is not a serious post.
SCAMMER
I bought a miner from him as well - a 50 GH/s miner using Paypal. He uses the Refund Guarentee as a ploy to sweeten the deal. Everything was screaming scam to me when I asked him for photos and he refused. He will pass of a screenshot of a his "2.4 TH Rig mining along with a 50GH/S testing unit" Brandon's article shows him using this name: Arthur Bruce. For being in Sacramento - his Telephone code is a Fresno Area code = first red flag. His name doesn't match the paypal name on my reciept and details are as follows:
Code:
I was trying not to speak up and was willing to wait it out until my anticipated delivery date of 7-13 but after finding his info didn't match Brandon's, I've decided to speak up and point this out for what is...another scammer.
Sounds like vapor ware to me.

U wont get it too soon since no chips were delivered yet ...
I know many people haven't sent out chips yet although there are chips floating around and I have seen a few people get ASICS from custom builders as opposed to the well known people. I have been tracking Avalon and BFL although no hopes in getting my BFL Rig this year lol
only chips that have been sent are the sample ones ... so ...
