What newmars was saying is that TH is based out of the Bay area of Cali.
The ebay auction is from Portland, and doubtful to be terrahash's listing.

You can check whatever you want in your E-bay preferences.

And, it takes about 30 seconds to make your computer appear like it's from Portland, or Slovenia (nothing against Slovenia), or whatever location you want.

So, while your observation is noted, it still does not exonerate Terrahash.

I would like an official Terrahash response to the question of "Why are they selling nonworking Klondike 16 units on Ebay?", before I request a scammer tag in the proper forum.

The final design has not been finalized by the community designer, and there is no software (to my knowledge) which will run the unit right now.

Again, I'm not flaming anybody. I am simply requesting information and pointing out (potentially uncomfortable) inconsistencies (as a service to the community).

No you're not *simply* requesting information and pointing out inconsistencies. What you are doing is purposely kicking up sh*t and making accusations with absolutely no proof.
Yes, you can check whatever you want in ebay preferences. Yes you can make your computer look like it's coming from anywhere. And none of that in any way proves that it is Terrahash. Yet you state that it doesn't exonerate him. Last time I checked, it was supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until you prove yourself innocent just because one person decided to start throwing out wild accusations.

How many people are on ebay? How many people have been selling preorders on ebay? It could be any one of them. There's nothing to suggest that it is Terrahash, other than *your* assumption and accusation that it is.
"This order will be placed (and paid for) on Tuesday June 18th, 9AM PST. Ordering does not open to the public until 24 hours after this time, so this is a special place in line and will be one of the first orders shipped. Your order will ship via Fedex Overnight, insured, with a tracking number."

This statement alone actually suggests that it is someone who intends to place a preorder and resell it for a profit. Just like all the people who bought in on group buys of chips or the USB block erupter and resold them on eBay for profit. BTC mining right now is rife with people who have no interest in mining themselves and are only buying hardware because they've seen how much people desperate for hardware will pay. They've seen some of the miner auctions on ebay hit $30,000 and they're looking to make a quick buck. Many more people are buying more hardware than they need and reselling the surplus for profit to make back their money and get their hardware effectively cheap or free.

Now, until you actually have something substatial that suggests the auction is terrahash, why don't you take your unfounded allegations and keep them to yourself.
