Looks like a (somewhat) badly photoshopped CoolMaster N600:




Hashblaster:



The dimensions look weird, almost like one of those 'impossible shape' optical illusions...

Man, I kinda wish they weren't a scam so I could see how they try to dissipate 600W+ for each chip.

Some guys on the KnC irc debunked this scam yesterday.

It's 100% a scam, everyone.

Hashblaster.com appears to be working at the moment, not that I'm endorsing/denouncing them in any way, just FYI.

They are a scam. I can definitely confirm this.
Look here for the scam payment.

A new company with a first release on 20nm. The only company providing 20nm chips is KNC at the moment. A couple of days ago there was a topic about the same company. Maybe you can find it. Main sentence of the topic, to good to be true...

too good to be true = not true, in my experience

If it walks, looks, acts, talks like a duck, it's a duck.

Let me try it another way: my grandma always said that if something looks too good to be true, it IS too good to be true.

Hello !

How about this new one ASIC producer: Hashblaster ( hashblaster.com ) ?
What do you know: is legit or scam ?
Any working prototype ?
The technical specification are quite interesting:
- 3x 20nm manufactured ASIC chips yielding a minimum of 1.1 TH/s per chip
- 0.55 watts per GH/s
- Watts: 1815
- Mhash/J: 1818
- Mhash/s/$: 375
The Hashblaster "I" is priced at $8,799 and is limited to 800 units, which are scheduled to ship in Q1 2014.
Of course, pre-orders only.
