It pisses me off that we can't do anything about this, they are probably making a killing off of newbies.

I ordered 50. Going to be opening up my own data center in my basement.

Do you provide onsite support and installation or do I need to hire my own contractors?

Are your products compatible with VMC's Fast-Hash One Platinum Edition Bitcoin Mining Machine? They gaurantee ROI within first two weeks, what is your projection?

Also, will the nuclear fusion generator that I have on order put out enough power? It will produce 1.21 gigawatts on average.

Thanks

Is there anything we can do about this? I bet they are fooling a lot of newbies. Sad

As if there isn't enough evidence, I'm gonna go ahead and beat on this dead horse some more, I hope you guys don't mind.

They just modified an image of an SSD card

http://www.asus.com/Storage/RAIDR_Express_PCIe_SSD/

This image:

http://rog.asus.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/angle-large2-e.jpg

and photoshopped it:

(above linked to imgur so they can't change it, original is here: http://www.skyminerlabs.com/pics/2/preview.jpg)

And they just used the specs from the the BFL Monarch

http://www.butterflylabs.com/monarch/


The best thing is that SkyMinerLabs actually weren't the first photoshopping ASUS RAIDR Express PCIe SSD. It was Virtual Minig Corp with their Fast-Hash PCIe modules:

(notice also the Chenbro RM423 4U rack chassis, image of which was also used by both Virtual Mining Corp and SkyMinerLabs)  Grin

Is there anything we can do to shut them down? They are surely fooling a lot of newbies. I hate seeing criminals win.

Maybe he sends the little plastic rocket ship toy to each customer.  Wouldn't that make it all good? 

After all,  by the time BFL sends the Monarch, the value will be equivalent.

Do you think some of their "customers" wouldn't have rather had a jar of peppers after some of those delays?  At least you could put those on nachos.  Can't do anything with an 8-month overdue Jally except spin your electric meter.

I found this thread because I saw this on ebay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Skyminerlabs-bitcoin-miner-the-next-thing-/161169802024

I'm so glad this forum exists, I was going to ask them if it really did 600ghash. But now I know to just skip it and move on.

This..made my day.  Where's OP? He hasn't posted in a while lol.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/skyminer-i-just-order-pcie-need-help-scam-360649

 He's crapping it up in this thread now, asking a rather ignorant question of "How do I add more PCIe slots to my computer ?"

Can't believe y'all are giving this guy such a hard time for his website.  He's only had one day to do everything.  

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3851937

At least he got the essentials right:

600G
PCIe card
"labs" in his 'company' name

He's obviously learning from the best.  Now all he needs is a fluttery name for his 'product'.   Emperor?  Dictator?  King?

He said "i ordered my PCIE card 2 weeks ago", that website was created 2 days ago, how can you order from a website if it dosent exist 2 weeks ago, whats hard to understand?

Lmao, This thread was good, you made my day Smiley
