paid via paypal
2 lines made me laugh and instantly gave me a conclusion of this persons honesty
Maybe this can be reported to PayPal.
Just send back some fireworks.
They have been spamming me multiple times per day recently.
I have repeatedly asked them to remove me from their mailing list.
Their response seems indicative of a company with no ethics:

Gonna have to agree this is for sure a scam. I talked with them and they kept telling me photos would be up in a week. i told them id wait to buy then. After waiting they finnaly put up a picture of a case and 2 cmd pictures. The first picture came directly from another site which they said. So there is a picture of the case not the unit. Then the 2 cmd have the username whited out so i cant check if its real or not.
I have requested from them multiple times to see a real picture.I also requested just the username of the mining account to verify and have even requested simply a picture of the older miner or new miner next to the cmd. All of these requests are quickly ignored by him either not responding or by trying to avoid them. Lately he seems to have given up hope of ever selling 1 unit and just outright tells me that im never happy and that he tried

I've had an email correspondence with them:
I'm not entirely sure why using an escrow service is against their policy nor asking money for a donation. $70 dollars would be a fair price for a 3 GH miner; however, it seems a bit off color to be honest.

Perhaps we can work out a partnership? If you donate a unit to the Bitcoin Education Project, then I'd be happy to include a lecture about your products and their configuration in our course:
https://www.udemy.com/bitcoin-or-how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-crypto/
Here is more information about us:
http://btcedproject.org/
And a recent interview I did for Adam Levine on Let's Talk Bitcoin:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBrQ07aPsL0
Our goal is to bring one million new users into bitcoin and thus partnering with us would be a great opportunity for you to get broadcast your products to a much larger market.
Here's a list of our current partners:

Alright,
I need the following from you guys:
A Logo to display in our partner's area
A brief description of your products and how people can acquire them
A tutorial on the software required for operation (i'll update and convert it for our course)
You can send the unit to Charles Hoskinson, (Address Removed) Once I receive it, I'll configure the unit and then make a video for our bonus lecture series. You'll also be listed in our partners section of Btcedproject.org.
Thank you so much for your support

Just charge me for the shipping on the bitmit order. We can use their escrow service. I'd ordinarily send the money directly, but I have a fiduciary duty to use an escrow service with the education project's funds

These guys seem to be spamming heavily by email, various forums and even a debian mailing list.
I guess the "advertising" has begun.
If someone accuses you of being a scammer, the answer is not to start spamming everywhere. That's something scammers do.

Yep, been receiving a bunch of mails from these guys.

I wonder if anyone will even buy into them.
Just got an e-mail from them ( <[email protected]> ), which promptly got sent to SPAM folder by GMail. They either got my e-mail off the forum profile or they are mass-sending, hoping to hit active miners. In the e-mail they state the price in BTC, while the web-site states it in dollars. Still, $3000 for ~9GHs is a bit steep. BFL offers 50GHs for "just" $2500

Just saw this on their website.
Seems like I might have jumped the gun.
But nothing more than an accusation made, I am hoping that these guys do deliver.
Maybe they should of hid site until fully finished and maybe after posting rounds on bitcoin forums and getting a few trustworthy hero members behind them.
i still think its an fpga being miss sold

It's just a wordpress hosted website with a nice template in it.
It must be another scammer.. No proofs of the existence of this product, no hashrate proof and no proofs of shipping.
Stay away from it

Worst yet, no announcement on the forums.
Worst worst yet, their "About us" page display a lack of knowing ANYTHING about hardware. Of course this little problem never stops BFL_Josh from talking, but at least someone at BFL knows who to shuffle of this sort of work to. Those guys? Nothing. At all.
Thats the wallet he has advertised under Order.
