He is probably reading and laughing on this thread.
a (shared) hosting + domain name is like €40 or less for a year. not much guarantee on that one 
exept for the dns records that contain a (fake) name.
exept for the dns records that contain a (fake) name. doesn't matter imho. a tech nerd who's just proud to share/sell his stuff just want to promote it via forums so it can make sense that's he's a newbie.
did people see a working device and trustworthy 'proof' when bitmain started selling?
the risk is always there unless other members have a (review) device and tell us it's safe.

Even though I bought some S1's and was around when bitmain first came on the scene I don't recall exactly the sequence of things. But I do know this, I bought my S1's very soon after people on the forum started showing pics of theirs and it was definitely confirmed they existed. Also, they had a website with a domain even back then. And even though their website sucked for a very long time, it had a shopping cart and would provide individual BTC payment addresses and everything.
I'm not sure what it looked like in terms of scam risk for the very first bitmain buyers, but at a minimum they looked more legit than this dwarf dude just because they had a domain and dedicated website.

Just felt wrong with a newbie sprucking these cards, instant red flag
I'm pretty sure the paypal thing was a bait and switch right from the start, they used paypal to gain trust, and then used a small technical excuse later as a reason to ask for crypto payment. Typical scam.
yes, this fraud was very carefully planned and carried out

Is anyone still wondering ?

So follows the pattern of the approximately a 6-week scam, before all the lies, blow up...and stalling etc, etc.
again, sorry for anyone taken, if you paid via credit card and the PayPal route and less than 45 days..you may have a shot to get $$$ back yet...if
it is close to 45 days, you gain another 15 days on whatever, just by filing a 'dispute', at least how it worked 3 years ago with alpha-tech and Amex card.
so go thru PayPal dispute AND your credit card you used also their dispute ...do both
good luck!

Dwarf refunded all the paypal buyers and said they would have to re-pay with crypto or bank transfer. I purchased miners from them via paypal and was refunded and asked to pay with the other methods. Without paypal or credit card protection I declined to continue with my purchase. So looks like all who purchased did so with bank transfer or crypto. Best of luck to all.
well, good to know he did not benefit from the PayPal folk...I'd think a majority of folk would NOT Have paid him in crypto on a PayPal dump....so maybe that means a lot less folk got screwed...
a 'good scare' for those who got back their funds via PayPal and walked....doubt they will try that again

My AR-15 ID's itself as a toaster. Want breakfast?
Yes, probably. However paypal will lock down your perfectly legit account too for a laundry list of reasons. I have been a part of several completely legitimate product sales where this happened when a sudden influx of money happened in said account. It took a long time to resolve, but was indeed resolved, and I received my product and those companies/individuals now continue in business.
So yes, most likely, but you do not know that for a fact.

I stated what I said, because it was true and I meant it.
I do know it for a fact. See my comment several pages back. I asked a yes or no question to the powers that be; that I know on a first name informal basis; and got an answer.
If dwarf had been legitimate, he would have gone through the process of getting it approved; would not have told that many half truths, and not lied about some very specific details. Plain and simple.
Dwarf refunded all the paypal buyers
let me correct that for you:
Paypal took actions related to fraud and possible illegal activity.

At this point the silence is deafening from the OP or any updates on the board manufacture, ship dates, expected times for getting these out to customers. You know, the sort of thing you would expect if this were legitimate. So I would say no updates by the end of the week and it is time to kiss your money goodbye. Depending on how much you have sunk into this it might be worth doing the leg work to track down some IP's and look at the bread crumbs to see if it is possible to chase your money down.
You can give the OP a full lightyear, nothing will come.

I guess it is official now? This was a scam?
Wouldn’t it be ironic if they really had the Dwarf miner and it really did work, but after reading here how it is a scam, they decided to keep the boards and the money and just set up their own mining farm...
It doesn't work that way. If there was a viable product they could have made many millions in batch 2, 3, 4, ... a lot more that they could ever mine.
Schemes like this don't turn into scams. If it's a scam, it's a scam from the beginning.

for those of you who ordered.
I hope you receive your miners
although we were screaming a long the whole ride saying to avoid
