May want to add some capital letters to the thread title here so people see it.
Kind of how I got drawn into it, was from their initial posts to. Some were just a little skeptical at first and seemed routine now it's pretty clear legendary accounts likely compromised.
Not that this is funny at all but I would have loved to have read sidehacks post.
Topic: WARNING WARNING WARNING about asgard sales something is up - page 2. (Read 822 times)
@ 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.
Sidehack posted in the self mod thread last night as well (I merited his post). He made a comment about notfuzzy being notskeptical which made him (sidehack) more skeptical!
And now haggsfin... WTF is going on indeed
The OP of that thread is sitting online and deleting almost everything, hes not interested in any discussion, he's sitting and waiting for BTC to hit his wallet, fucking scamming cunt!
Also note that suchmoon found a stolen picture of an ibelink hash board that scamgard used on their site.
How in fucks name did the two biggest Avalon supporters on the forum jump into bed with this scammer. Either those accounts are compromised or those two guys have lost their minds...

So far, besides the normal red lights (better, faster, cheaper from a company nobody has heard about - posted by newbie accounts), I've seen 2 other red flags:
1) Someone Google imaged search one of the executives and found an exact match for a guy in Odessa, Urkraine with a different name. Faking photos is not something a legitamate company would do.
2) The other thread on this in this section is self moderated and HIGHLY edited. Ask about demo units for review purposes and your post gets deleted.

I really like this manufacturer, I mean this must be the most perfect thing ever.
For a start - wrong area folks! That is hardware - not software... Requested the mods to move this to Mining Speculation for now.
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.
Went to their site and in Chat asked the all-important question: Can these run on any sha256D pool or is asicboost support required. Answer is they run on ANY sha256d pool. Damn fine start.
Seriously thinking about ordering one to try out/review.

They had requested more information about mfb about 3am PST. Seems they accessed our site from inside the UK which is a bit suspicious since the company is supposed to be located in Sweden or the Netherlands (?). I think we all agree anyone sending BTC to them is more than likely a bad idea.
Lol...
By the way, that wasn't moderation, that was cloudflare getting absurdly twitchy, it even wouldn't let us moderators post so... yeah unless Asgard themselves hacked btctalk just for the sake of that thread, then no.
Phil's wasn't moderation but my posts were Moderated by the asgard thread starter.

No shit, this was my initial response to NotFuzzyWarm which then got moderated 3 times.

Lol they moderated my post, that won't do them any favours.
Deleted my post twice now...
Anyway, surely same rules apply right? Until there is verifiable proof that the miner exists and can hash at the expected speed then its just vaporware.
So where's the video? Wheres the demo model sent to someone reputable on the forum. Phil or yourself or HaggsFin.. hell even I'd do one
Its dangerous for you to give quasi credence to them at such an early stage, and sort of unexpected to be honest mate.
I posted the same thing to their chat on the web site.

The scammer also has an ebay listing for a 46ths unit for $500... It is a scam
