Looks scammy as hell.  Their 5 second videos also look terrible.  Would not give a penny to them.

All of that aside, there's always been rumors of Xxx asics out there for a good long while now. Occasionally you'd see miners with astronomical hash numbers pop up on pools here and there.  I would not doubt at all that enterprising individuals (or companies) do possibly have Xxx capable asics, but for end users you need a company that can actually not just deliver their product but ultimately support it.  Fly-by-night operations typically can hardly do the first, but almost never the second.  

I would also consider the scenario where there's a tidal wave of Xxx ASIC devices about to hit the market and that these individuals know this and are selling off their personal stash of miners because they know full well right now is the best time to get max profit on their devices.   Xxx stuff is already marginal as it is, and the astronomical difficulty hikes that accompany ASIC invasions means that little window of ROI is effectively closed even before anyone does get their Xxx ASIC device.

Wow another X11 miner.

Its funny how there are as many X11 Manufacteurs as there are SHA256 Manufacteurs.

So http://pinidea.io/ announced that they are accepting an orders for their 500 Mh/s DASH ASIC miner (it appears that it should rather be called "FPGA miner" IMHO...).

Original thread: https://dashtalk.org/threads/asic-x11-miner-hashrate-500mh-s-320w-weighs-4-5kg.8099/

What do you guys think about it?.. Should anyone risk with his or her 500 DASH (or comparable BTC-amount) to obtain such a miner?..
