This thread is so full of lol. You'd think it's on BitcoinTalk or something.

And to think I traded in your toes for a shadow goat. What was I thinkin'?

What's a shadow goat and where can I get one?

Make sure the shades are drawn when you play with your shadow goat, sans the goat.

I took an $80 gamble - I will keep you guys updated....

Yeah, it's like 50-50. They either have them or they don't, right?


It is no where near 50%.    Given the technical knowledge needed, capital costs and timing with other releases, the chances are quite low.

compare this ->

Well the person doesn't even known how to use the clone tool.
If you look carefully you can see where the front (the blue) has been smudged/blurred (you can see different colours where the LEDs show activity).....

I would be such a jaw-dropper for the community if this turned out to be legit...  Shocked
I know, I know it is like 1:1000 probability (well at least this is what I give it) for that but still would be funny to see the reaction.

It would be funny if it's legit.  I will look forward to hearing what the h8ters say.  Can everything be a scam just because this forum was not aware of it?  I have talked to CS a lot. He states a very good case and has very good answers for everything at least.  I gotta give em that.

I too called this crap at the start now I am unsure and it's gonna be free for me.  So no blood no foul for me.

I don't think you get the point.
This forum is EAGER to see new ASIC companies pop up out of nowhere.
BUT the way this is presented there is no way in the world that this is not a scam.
The way i see it it is a giant 3D sculpture of the word SCAM with a sticker on it that sais 'ASIC'..
The bloody sticker on the front is a huge giveaway, for one.

I don't think people believe it's a scam because they weren't aware of it.

It's a scam because it didn't exist prior to a few days ago even though they claim to be around for years, the scamster has provided no proof of anything, has refused to provide simple information (eg what's your old website that I've heard so much about), falsified reviews on his website, offers free units to anyone that criticizes him to try to buy their support, posted and removed fake unboxings on YT and then says proof will come from user YT videos, isn't mining any of the systems on a public pool, and on and on...

I understand we can try to justify each separate issue as a quirk or misstep, but as a whole why would a legitimate company operate this way?  In totality it makes no sense at all.  A legitimate company could simply provide some very basic information about the company and product to prove they are real.  Why wouldn't they?

Since the mountain of evidence against isn't persuasive, let's turn this around.  Can anyone provide any evidence that indicates this is real?

There are no unaccounted sources of new hashes added to the network. Unless they are lying about their "satisfied customers".

9 pages! really?

in post #7 I told you that this is simply a switch with some stickers to cover up the fact that it is a switch. I thought that would be the end of it, maybe some jokes and lulz to be had, but I could not believe that anyone would fall for this one. I should have known better.


Let me spell it out for you, (those of you that ordered)

There is never any picture of the back of the device, because you'd be able to see the network ports.

see? ->
_______________________________________________________________________________ ________________________

Also, there is never any picture of the front without the sticker because then you'd see the activity and port speed leds.

see? ->
_______________________________________________________________________________


compare this ->
_____________________________________________________________________________

and this ->



at least I have some admiration of the primeasic guys. They at least made an impressive effort to be believable; but if you fall for some teenage kid, throwing some stickers on a bloody five dollar switch and backing it up with some pics and vids that are very careful never to show the back of the device (or the front without the sticker covering) then go ahead and send your money in. I have absolutely no sympathy for you.

I mean, come on people, this isn't even a box of fans, it's a freakin' switch with stickers!

You forgot to picture a Jalapeno here. They too resemble these.

I will give them until Tuesday when their facility is open for inspection.  Then I will pass judgement.

Mine is free can't see the harm either way.  I will eat crow most happily when it never shows.  I wonder if people will be so fair if it does show.

I hope it does show.  I will celebrate by drinking a case of Apfelschorle.
