I surrender! I have not read a single word in this thread, but am I correct in assuming there's another one of these guys that I somehow missed? I've already did my best to tear the other two entities new assholes, and my asshole shredder is getting worn out.

Allow me to get another cup of coffee so that I can read this thread in a more relaxed state. My only hope is that this better me entertaining. Can't wait to read which country this new outfit stems from.

Please refuel the shredder and let's see what a fresh pair of eyes can bring to it all Cool

NO reply yet from the email I sent.

This is rather intresting

"Note: This is a mailing only address, local pickup address will be given after your order."

I think that means that they are impersonating a well established company like HRP (www.hrp.hu), which has their HQ's and shop in that address...

But they prefer us to go to some dark corner to be beaten up and robbed.

seeing as they offer paypal payment, which can be refunded in 45 days, that at least forces them to ship something...granted it might be an empty box (but as far as i know paypal still overs that)

I've been screwed by someone posting a brick to me once, paypal never covered it because there was tracking info from the seller and no proof from my part, though I've heard similar stories and people have won their case by recording an unboxing video.
Still, I would like to make a flight out there, talk to a real person and hand over real cash.

I now make a smartphone video unboxing all packages i get with a value over 20€ plus take second person to it if possible because once i bought a phone and got delivered an empty package. At least i noticed that the weight is too low so i opened it while the postman was still there. I got my money back after some time from the post but it could have been another way if the thieve had replaced it with something similar heavy.

Better save than sorry...

I tried to call the company to which the domain is registered, and that seems legit: https://www.hrp.hu/views_eng/pressroom/default.aspx

Didn't manage to speak with anybody for a while, when I finally did they told me in very bad english that they don't know what bitcoin or ASICs are.

Looks very bad, but I will do more research. It's very odd that a well established IT company with a well functioning webshop like HRP registeres an external domain to put on an amateurish website, to offer some product that is not displayed in their normal webshop... And it's even more odd that their telesale representatives don't even know what an ASIC or bitcoin is.

I really hope Primeasic guys are legit, even if it doesn't look like they are. I would love to come back from my Budapest trip with 3 or 4 80 Gigahash beasts Wink

Well dunno whats with the change of address, I was here today;

Based on the sign in the window, that's an accountant and tax consultant company. Edi green must be one of their many clients. They also probably let their clients use their address as the official address when registering. They forward their mails, answer any inquiries from the tax office or other government entities, but that doesn't mean that they know anything about the company.

(also google maps shows at least 5 other companies registered to the same address)

Sure, but I talked to EDI's accountant for 15 min or so.

I'll give HRP a call and see if they know anything, not holding much hopes here though.
Edit* Ugh ok forget that, no ones answering at that number or the telesales line either lol
Edit* Ok so I called the telesales line like 5 times, someone picked up the phone halfway through and just slammed it back down Roll Eyes

Edit* Wow, what a rude company, FINALLY got through to someone at HRP after they put the phone down on me like 10 times in a row and the guy I spoke to said they have never heard of primeasic nor do they have anything to do with ASIC, more to the point he didn't know what an ASIC was? ...

The pattern is clear.
I am preety sure he switched the fake companies because he knew we will be coming to EDI green today.

~800W power usage on 220V

@ 220v!!!

Before, it was similar to an avalon/hash ratio. It just doubled. Yikes.

You know, 800w at 1kV is about 800w at 1V. Just the current is different.

No sign of EDI green at first sight, I asked about the company a non English speaking woman in that blue office you can see in the pic.
She did some mumbo jumbo and called English speaking EDI greens accountant, who was there in 5 min. She made a couple of calls around
(they have several different departments under that name or something), on the end even the boss Tomas or something, had no idea of ASIC or Bitcoin.

The accountant looked confused and even said 'Sorry guise :\' (for being a part of the joke).

While driving back home, the published phone started to ring but no answer on several tries.

Their website has been updated.

At the contact part it says that "HRP Hungary Kft" is the company behind it. This is the company I wrote about earlier, and the one that the domains were registered to before changing to anonymous, see: http://whois.domaintools.com/btcasic.com
It's a pretty big one. Now that they are putting their name on it, it's much more believable than before.

At least this forum got 10BTC from PrimeAsic! I wish every troll would do the same.

Scammer probably made more than that though. I can only imagine people throwing their money at them wanting a spot in line or taking their preorder first.
