They went all out on this one, even registered the LLC with the state of California. PR releases all over the last few days.

Edit: This looks like the LLC's registered agent: https://nuwber.com/person/563a4e4f7686b0176bddfbbf
Who's going to call her and see if she knows it's a scam?

100% SCAM

- claim the 28nm chip is more efficient than 16nm ...  what a nonsence
- the price is so low (and including PSU) ... why the hell would anybody sell such 'awesome miner' so low?
-  as a bonus it is dual miner (just in case such super efficient machine would not be profitable in BTC mining)

if anything, you receive just big fat box draining 700 watts but 'working' even without the internet connection (just showing you the amazing hashrate on our screen without the real mining)

Yea... looks like horse shit to me too 

Just did a quick icann whois search and even though all info on their website = USA, the domain is registered to a PO BOX in Queensland, Australia...

Sniff sniff.... ewwwwwwww

The datasheet is an edit of the SFARDS one, made with SEJDA, just with foxshit chip number pasted instead of SF3301, they even left the "preliminary" watermark...


I'm very likely wrong  , but, if it smells like sh*t, if it looks like sh*t..., I wont taste it just to be sure.

"Horse shit"

Most likely a scam.

who lives near by go visit them.. see if they are for real.. it is a shopping center the address.

Anyway, message sent. ) The chances are extremely low, but what if.... 

"You can order any amount you want." 

Sly as a fox(miner).

Epic scam sounds about right.

"FoxMiners covers all the delivery fees including Customs Fee."

LOOOL

75THs at 1500W??  That's either epic or scam, and epic is in short supply...  

***  Foxminers LLC is a SCAM! If someone pays for their non-existent their miners without any well-known and trusted Forum Users 1st getting hold of one for doing a review and posting it here then well, you have been warned ***

Bet it comes with a pair of Unicorns along with their Perpetual Power Generator as well...

edit: to keep most blatant and obvious damning evidence easy to find near the top, here are some of the highlights from later posts here:

Point: 1st of all, they are claiming 75THs of BTC speed, using 1,500w all while using 28nm node ASIC chips. Physically impossible at that node. Period. 28nm tech hit its performance zenith in early to mid 2015. That speed/power spec is over 10x better than even the best 14nm chips (from BW) are capable of at this time.

Point: Frankly, the clincher of this being a fraud should be that their spec sheet  is a near exact copy of SFARAD's https://github.com/sfards/ASIC-SF3301/blob/master/SF3301_Datasheet_v0.51.pdf Logic structure, commands and even the ball map of the chip is identical. Oh, the date of that document? Feb 11 2015.

The only differences are the cover art, the chip name, and what they claim specs are. Oh, and the COPYRIGHT notice. They erased SFARAD's and put in one for them. Now THAT takes some balls especially since they have tried a (fake)  C&D on TheMerkel. For a side-by-side comparison https://draftable.com/compare/hYFmXGvTJdxh

Point: Foxminers emailed a fake Cease-and-Desist notice using a fake name and impersonating a real legal firm https://themerkle.com/how-to-expose-a-bitcoin-mining-scam/
They followed that with another fake email this time a warning of possible legal proceedings against TheMerkel purporting to be from one the many PR firms that Foxminers has paid to place their Pay-for-Placement news releases about their Wonder of the Ages miner. In both case the senders as-shown on the emails were directly contacted and deny any knowledge of sending the email in question.

Point: From another prominent BTC news site http://bitcoinist.com/foxminers-interview-dual-scam/

Point: A nice little current wrap up article about these SCAMMERS https://news.bitcoin.com/alleged-mining-manufacturer-foxminers-accused-scam/

To keep this wall short(ish), grab your popcorn/peanuts and read through.
Spoiler alert: looks these are same folks behind the UFOminers scam. Just shovel the sh*t in a new sack and try under a new name I guess... That bits kick into gear on page 6.

An ad for a 75 TH/s miner popped up today from a company I have not heard of before: FoxMiners, LLC https://foxminers.com/.

It looks like they released a press release today announcing the pre-sale of their equipment with no ship date mentioned.  The product sounds...unusual: It hashes both Bitcoin and Litecoin.  Its efficiency is about 5x better than an S9 on SHA256 with a 28nm chip.

Thoughts?
