Miner Warehouse
http://minerwarehouse.com/Status: confirmed scam IMHO. I'm not going to give them the benefit of the doubt, too many red flags.
Proof: see my analysis from another thread below. I just picked two products - one was a complete fake! - that was enough for me. I can't be bothered blowing holes in the rest of their scam-site. If someone else wants to take it up from here, feel free, but I've seen enough.
I've never heard of them. Let's check out a couple of their products...
Bitmine Coincraft Desk 1TH MinersThey claim to be selling Bitmine Coincraft Desk 1TH Miners. But these have only barely started shipping, see
Bitmine list of orders - December 2013 delivery (batch 1). I doubt they have a unit.
Miner Warehouse won't have Bitmine units before everyone else, Bitmine are clear about who their partners are, and Miner Warehouse are not one of them: see
Bitmine Authorized Distributors.
From Bitmine:
We received several reports about unauthorized individuals or companies claiming to be selling CoinCraft-based products, please pay extreme attention when purchasing from an unauthorized distributor because most probably they’re a scam or a reseller of lower-grade, non-working or counterfeit ASICs.
Out of those options, I'd say scam.
Miner Warehouse 2TH Bitcoin MinerTheir "Miner Warehouse 2TH Bitcoin Miner" has 5 images, 3 of which are lifted from Cointerra's early renders of their Terraminer IV unit (found
here). The other 2 images are from a Black 4U Steel Rackmount Server Case (found
here from StarTech.com)
This is a typical scam technique, creating a fake product using images stolen from legit websites. It is slightly bizarre how they have mixed images from different products together, but some scammers aren't great with attention to detail. Notice how they are offering an actual product (which they don't have): Bitmine Desk 1TH for $4,799, alongside their fake product (which doesn't exist): Miner Warehouse 2TH Bitcoin Miner for $5,199? Why would anyone buy 1TH for $4,799 when for just $400 more you could get 2TH?
Wow, sounds too good to be true! Conclusion: confirmed scam.
