So - where is the (https)SSL protection with my PII when I go to checkout???
Their website seems realy fishy overall. It migh be built on a template.
Someone posted the link to the website on reddit, (Propably OP here)
http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/24k3rg/cyr_announces_14ths_for_599/There is a whois as a comment. Can't find more info currently. OP needs to do a better job if he wants to gain the community's trust.
Nope thats not my Reddit thread, although i do have one which is proving to be the most entertaining of the night thus far.
There is no contact link, huh?
I'm not the web guy, but i am sure they will have it all worked out over the next few weeks, not near fast enough for the superhuman members of bitcointalk.org, but i'm sure the rest of the real bitcoin society will be content.
I would imagine so as the "photos" are kept on a photo bucket account instead of within the actual site/domain
* seems like we have a lot of "companies/operations" sprouting up again.. perhaps it would be wise to break this forum into the "Pre-order/announcement hardware" with all the proper warning and red flag alerts... and then a "current/shipping now hardware"... just seems like a lot of "fake" clutter
There are photos on the website, quite a few actually, i just linked to their slideshow on facebook because its the only slideshow i have access to. As for moving the thread, sure why not, i get paid to answer what questions i can and filter through the troll blather to find legitimate questions and make sure they get in touch with the right people, again for those who missed it in the previous post, this IS NOT A SALES THREAD, henceforth why it is not in the marketplace section. This is more a Q&A thread, with a separate trolling thread for sheer entertainment value.
as for building credibility, again not my job, The heatsink and fan, PSU, and concept art, sure easy to get / fake / steal if one wanted to, but they have pictures of their actual sample case on their website which would have cost a small fortune to have made just to "scam" 1 or 2 people if that was the intent. Its 500% more than the overnight scam sensations have been able to produce when they pop up on this and other forums. So hows about we pipe down with the nonsense and keep it to honest and legit questions so i can assist the people who really have good questions and keep the dumb stuff to the trolling thread. Now that parts are ordered, things are arriving, and a website is under development i am sure over the next week tops the company will handle its only legitimacy issues on its own. In todays meeting there were talks of having a working prototype done in a week to a week and a half and available for live streaming from the shop floor. So save it until then, or dont order until then.
The one thing that 99% of you missed is that they agreed to take escrow through a legit organisation who themselves has good history on this and other forums. Meaning if you have legitimacy issues, you have a way to protect yourself. I dont get paid to sell, and most of you, well thats giving a little too much credit, some of you are smart enough to figure it out. If it were me personally, i WOULDNT order without using escrow myself. People who dont use escrow are asking to get ripped off in most cases, not saying this is one of them, just that escrow was designed for that purpose.
