Deleting a moderator's post was not smart and I've taken the liberty of correcting their post for them.

This thread is Great!!! It's absolutely wonderful, that everyone can come together like this, to help protect others. Even though,
we may bust eachother's balls at times, for whatever reasons, the true nature of this community shines through.

Kudos to everyone, who took the time to help shed some light on this shameful situation!!! Thanx!!!

I've also taken the liberty of replacing the link to their website with a link to the Scam Accusations thread.

My god, I spit up my beer reading this.

Even better, they've deleted my follow-up post explaining that I personally edited their post but haven't been able to further edit their opening post making it look like they personally wrote the post that way.

I just woke up and saw "New Scam miners" a highlight already. Looks like they cleaned house there.

Electrical engineer. Mining since 2014.
To all of you wondering about my post: I was trying to be sarcastic.
I have now edited my post a little, hope it is more understandable now.
I'm sorry that I failed with the sarcasm.

I DO BELIEVE AFTER ALL THIS THAT THEY ARE SCAMMERS.

DO NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY TO THEM.

As I replied in a pm, after finally having time to read through these counter threads, deleted my post from their thread. The ebay sales clinched that.

Thanks for update

As I replied in a pm, after finally having time to read through these counter threads, deleted my post from their thread. The ebay sales clinched that. It was never meant as any sort of endorsement -- more of a 'how curious and not *immediately suspicious'. And yes at the price - perhaps interested in purchase IF things continue to look right.

They blew that right out of the water.

edit: as as for the query about PM's, It is not often that I respond to them but DO at least read them. Most are dealing with topics that should be stated in public (tech questions) and that is where I prefer to reply.

And now NFW has deleted his post (or it was the OP deleting it, seems unlikely though) from the SM thread...

I was drunk "af" when I made the post on their thread. Maybe an excuse, but maybe not. It is the weekend but most users here seem pretty active.

I'm told all our conversations have been cordial with who ever is on the other end of this  but have been asked to not visit their site till dust settles.

Soo very intrigued on how this plays.

"Common rogue from Russia with a bare ass."

Which means one of the below
a fuzzy changed it
b fuzzy was hacked password not changed and only that edit was done
c someone that has privileges to edit did it
d fuzzy has sold out.
E something else

I do think hags was sarcastic.

I don’t like that neither of them has posted here.

I think it was obvious sarcasm too. Invisible on the Internet to some people, apparently.

You guys know NFW best, does he usually reply to pm's?
I realize he doesn't know me, does he ignore ppl he doesn't know?

I sent him two headed "ASGARD", no reply, the first one way back, when my "he's not who he says he is" post was deleted and he posted the original 'positive' message.
Strangely 19 minutes after I sent that, he went to the post and edited it into a fucking eulogy, by adding the bolded bit.


So far gotta say this looks promising. Aside from being a company no one has heard of before I do not get any red flags yet -- and as folks who know me here will testify that is a VERY rare statement for me to make. edit: This may change of course as more info comes out.



And then, after my second message basically asking "WTF?", he added the visible edit, winding his neck in a bit.

And, in the middle of it all, we had that Cloudflare weirdness. (And ironically ended up with Theymos, who allegedly wouldn't know how to plug a miner in, multiple quoting a self modded thread by a [probable] scammer.)
Given the hilarity of it all, my vote from Phillip's list
A weak suggestion for option
E ?
NFW was pissed up when he made the first post. I understand that there's lots of hopes for new toys soon in the mining world and maybe he posted a bit indiscreetly.
Some jumped up "scam buster" pisses him off by pm'ing, out of the blue, with a picture of a guy on a Russian dating site, so he thinks "I'll make it clear I think that's FUD, not a red flag" and edits to "Yey, suckers, I know what I'm talking about." level.
Gets second pm from me and reads the circling vulture posts (thanks QS) and thinks "Oh, fuck I wish I hadn't had that second bottle" and edits yet again, to back peddle.
Currently not daring to come on line for 24 hours (although it is Sunday), thinking "Oooops....how do I get myself out of this?"

Or maybe not.

Except that their efficiency claims are so much better than the current leading edge of technology as to be highly improbable.

Which is something NotFuzzy would normally be the first to call out.

It's weird to say, but NotFuzzy being suddenly NotSkeptical has made me more so than usual.



As for HaggsFinn, it reads to me as thick sarcasm.

In a self-moderated thread, can the moderator edit posts or just delete them?

In my self mod threads I can only Delete them not edit them.

a fuzzy changed it
b fuzzy was hacked password not changed and only that edit was done

Not that this is funny at all but I would have loved to have read sidehacks post.

So would I.

Thanks for responding, I do appreciate that.  I would have preferred actually if you marked it bad if you didn't agree with it.

1) I did not report NFW's because I completely agree it is not spam (ie it did not break forum rules) and the onus is always on the customer to do their own dd
2)  I did not report the Self Mod'd thread as I did not see it as breaking any rules.
3)  I reported Hagssfin post because it looks like another "great project" one line shit post we have all deleted hundreds of times.  I actually thought there was sufficient rule being broken to warrant deleting it.
4)  I did not ask to remove the post to stoop down to the OP's level or have it removed because it's an endorsement of sorts.  I asked for it to be removed as Spam or breaking the rules the side effect being it was not their anymore.  I asked for the post to be removed because it violates forum rules IMO, if you don't agree I can and will respect that.

Honestly man I am not looking for a fight I respect your decision and I will leave it at that!

Understood, and thanks. I nevertheless remain of the opinion that HagssFIN was merely being sarcastic, until proven beyond a reasonable doubt to be otherwise. His post therefore currently does not qualify as spam in my opinion.

@ mods  WTF  is going on here?

I don't know. I'm just as puzzled about this whole thing as any of you currently are.

I'm going to report haggsfins post in the sm thread as spam (because it actually is LOL) hopefully ck or frodocooper agree and remove it at least we wont have a ringing endorsement there.

I disagree. While it is indeed out of character for both NotFuzzyWarm and HagssFIN to be seemingly endorsing Asgard Mining this prematurely (whether explicitly or implicitly), deleting their posts would amount to censorship. We already have Asgard Mining censoring their own thread; I would very much like to avoid stooping to their level.

Also, the onus is on any potential customer to conduct their own due diligence before purchasing from Asgard Mining. The most that can reasonably be expected of us in this situation is simply to provide sufficient warning regarding the risks of purchasing from Asgard Mining. I'm convinced that this thread and the one in Scam Accusations constitute adequate warning.

There is therefore no reason, in my opinion, for -ck and myself to begin censoring asgardmint's thread, even if for the benevolent purpose of removing questionable endorsements from NotFuzzyWarm and HagssFIN.

I nevertheless marked your report as Handled as a concession. The appropriate action to be taken would have been to mark it as a Bad report.

On that note, there may be a remote possibility that HagssFIN was merely being sarcastic.

I also thought this could be true.
I also thought that both fuzzy and hags had compromised accounts.
I also thought  that both of them were paid off.
I also thought that were are held hostage and being told to write that.

I finally thought that I simply do not know WTF is up with the thread.

I TAGGED HIM AS A SCAMMER SO I WILL NOT REQUEST A DEMO MINER FROM HIM AS THAT IS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

However if the op offers some demos to others and shows he has a 0.052 watt miner to sell I will remove my tag.

OP has yet to send me any pm's or emails so I simply say to all
