Spartak_1, you'll likely end up saving people some $$$ / grief here. Cheers!

I've had personal interest in their offer and it cost me nothing to share what I've found. People here must share their experience in order to make cryptocurrencies market a better place.

Cheers!

They were trying to act as a reseller.

As a business, if you buy computer parts, and then sell those parts to customers for a marked up price, you are a reseller.

I know what reseller means.. in my real life I am computer engineer for about 18 years now. I didn't said that they are scammers, but I think that there are a lot of fishy things in their offers.

I personally dont find it fishy at all. They are offering to sell someone elses products, nothing wrong with that. Too bad that project was cancelled and they havent removed it from their website which could potentially take money from others illegally.

...and therein is the smoke signal for a scam!

Noone running any sort of legitimate business allows those types of things to be, not even for a day. I woudn't trust them one iota because they (knowingly?) allowed(perpetuated?) statements about mining hardware on hand that are misleading at best and felonious at worst. If they'll do it with one, they'll do it with all of them.

I smell a scam-trap, especially after seeing that pic in the OP. Ya'll been warned!

I posted this thread in Hardware section first. One of my posts there is this one:

@OP: Have you cleared the situation with them? Did you ask them why isn't their company where it was supposed to be?

Well.. my indonesian friend said: "Don't buy!" and this is enough for me, but it seems that giveen is more familiar with them.

They arent a scam, but they do need to update their website.

They were trying to sell the ZeusMiner Volcano which is a cancelled project.

Why do you think they arent a scam? Because they are electronic store as they claimed or you have something other in mind?

Because their company name was not on the door where it was supposed to be. If you say that you are company XY at location Z, your shop/store better be there.

It is fine if you sell second-hand ASICs or resell original, new ASICs, but you have to mention this somewhere not to mislead potential customers.

Hello guys,

I am researching scrypt ASICs market for more than 1.5 years and recently decided to buy some new ASICs. I started to look for interesting offers and I found company (by receiving PM from user named rualpema... he probably saw that post) called Blessinghash. They have pretty good offer by selling 20 x 330MH ASICs for $18,127. Luckily, I am part of FAILCoin's takeover and FAILCoin have community managers from all over the world (including Indonesia where this company is located). In the past month I have found some friends from that country and I can say that they are extremely good and humble people! I asked one of them if he can visit Blessinghash and see if they are legit. He agreed, but he said that he will need 1-2 days, because the company is located 3 hours trip from his home (isn't he a good guy?!). About 1 hour ago he send me this:

There is a simple computer store/service at the address where Blessinghash is supposed to be located. My friend from Indonesia was ashamed that people from his country are shady in this case, and he asked me not to be too harsh when revealing them so I won't say that this is a scam. Will only ask you to decide for yourself!

Regards,
Spartak
