I love a good scam, so I went fishing- they reckon they can ship it anywhere in the world by the 15th July 2013. That they will be shipping 100 units as part of their 'beta', and (and this bit killed me):
"Our ASIC+ Cryonic Architecture is manufactured by third-party OEM's based on our specifications. Additional details as to their capabilities and features will be announced during the live-demo event in San Francisco later this month. More information will be provided as to the event on our website. "
Also- no info on their executive board history on their site, and they utterly avoided it when directly asked. If you're going to scam, at least make it look convincing. It's looks like the Weighted Storage Cube from Portal FFS. I suspect the Cake Is a Lie, but certainly one to watch.

Looks scammy to me
You know what's crazy though? I'm certain if they just sold a computer case that looks like that, they'd make a tiny boatload of money.
It's like an Xbox and a Monolith sniffed too much liquid nitrogen and had a child together.
It makes no sense whatsoever making something this pretty to stuff into a homemade rack, even just on that basis alone you can call it a scam!

Send me 15K and I'll launch an ASIC satellite into orbit that is nuclear powered and can mine at 15000 TH/s.
Yes, I said nuclear powered. I am willing to break the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 just for you, the customer.
Sorry to disappoint you, but that's not actually illegal. The Outer Space Treaty specifically prohibits the use of nuclear weapons in space, not nuclear power plants. Many satellites and space probes are, in fact, nuclear powered (using atomic batteries instead of fission reactors, due to the latter being too massive to conveniently lift into orbit).Yes, I said nuclear powered.

The satellite is literally powered by nuclear weapons.

What are your thoughts on this, legit or scam?

Definite scam.
If only..

i'd like to sign up for this one
Most likely a scam, but regardless not worth ordering anything until there are at least photos as opposed to the renderings used on their site.
its more likely to freeze your asic and break it than just cool it
You can't freeze an asic, that would be silly.
something about the nitrogen cooling throws me off
I just had a thought about that today, but with mineral water.

Who knows? Are you willing to send them cash to find out?
Well it made me laugh! I was surprised to see some people weren't sure it was a scam, so much of it seems written tongue-in-cheek..
But if they meant to be taken seriously, yipes! They should consider switching their career to humour. I'm sure the Onion will be interested.
I mean... The machine might explode/cause fires because it pumps nitrogen right out of the air? LOL!
In any case if I wanted to do something like that, I would use basic refrigeration principles on a sealed, oil-cooled machine. Ships well and danger-free.
Too bad though, maybe with the Cryoniks thing they also send you a few superball and roses to freeze up and break with your liquid nitrogen!

I stay back from that. I have money tied up with Butterfly Labs and is still waiting :S. At least I have GPU mining.
1000 GH/s? I don't buy it.
pretty obvious scam. Or a joke page to check how many people are willing to pay 15k$ for a fantasy product like this.
Can't tell if it's a scam or satire. Still fake. Do not touch.

Agreed. AFAIK there's no feasible way to do that, not without constantly buying liquid nitrogen and having it shipped to your house. Liquid nitrogen is more used for short-term
use, since it boils away so quickly. Not to mention how dangerous it is...
