Just for fun I tried to search for their patents for this sweet cooling tech and their  strip LED lighting from the future....

Take a guess what I found?   Zilch  

Ordered 2...   One for eBay and one for my friend Biff

If you send BTC to my address ill make sure you in batch 1.     Shipping in 2 weeks.   

Sweet! How much are they charging for one of these bad boys? I will take 500 for a project that me and Kim Jong-un are working on.

Kudos to them managing to get all that in such a nice case......

But wow......



So the thing also shits little pellets of contaminates....


And to stop you 'peeking inside'

We’ve taken ASIC processing to the next level with our patent pending ASIC+ Cryonic Architecture™ featuring select low-temperature superconducting materials.

hrough a patent pending “scrubbing” process, each FrostBit™ Cryonic unit is designed to filter atmospheric nitrogen gas of dust, moisture, and other impurities.

After assembly, each unit is injected with specially formulated acoustically and thermally insulating foam ensuring cool and quite operation.

Hate to over simplify, but that was my absolute first thought when seeing the scam site's name.

It seems like Ed Trice is all over this too with previous scammery involving these nitrogen cooling units but I havn't found any solid linkage there

As horrible as it is for the backers, it's a sad fact that not every company will be able to make it. What's "dark" and terrible about this company is that they chose to neither communicate properly to their backers, nor were competent enough to give refunds.
I've been checking out kickstarter for a while. They do their best to see real material and such before approving projects for their site. While, yes, try do make money regardless of whether the project delivers or not, they DO actively block people to abuse their platform. I mean, they require something real and tangible for most projects. Software is the only real exception there, and perhaps a few games. I think they do a good job policing projects before they get approved. And, if the projects take your money and run, it doesn't look good for them, either.
And, like they've said, and numerous others have said, this is product investment by crowd. It's a risk. You're not pre-ordering or buying a product, you're giving them funding. If thing go the way they're supposed to, you get something back. And, if not, you get a refund. If you don't, some time of legal recourse should be appropriate, or just calling your credit card company and nixing the charge. The only time it's not really a risk is if it's a successful person or company that's finished one project, delivered, and then put another up.
Those guys should be ashamed of themselves for not communicating properly. If they need more time because of delays, say so. If you completely failed, detail why. Crowd-funding isn't just about getting money. It's about small companies and groups learning how to put out products without having massive debts or big name investors reaching down their backs. Some people wouldn't be able to deliver something at all if it wasn't for this model. Sharing your mistakes is more important that sharing your successes. It helps show the way for others. It's not just crowd-funding, it's crowd-learning about entrepreneurship.

May I see your evidence of a scam? Hopefully you're not actually trying to claim that concept art is a scam. I think what you meant to say was, "This might be a scam". Because if something is obviously a scam, than you would have some evidence to back up your claims.

Interestingly enough, these links that were posted that some of you are believing to be credible are claiming ButterflyLabs is legit as so many people on here are misusing the word "scam" toward them as well.
