*cough* SCAM *cough*

And just who the fuck are you?

Just another newbie, if you dont trust burning or dont trust this project please post in the newbie section.

1. You will order from an officially registered company in Germany, the order is a legal contract between the customer (you)
and the company (me) that both sides have to honor, or face legal consequences.
2. I won't receive any chips until July, and I will demonstrate a working Miner with the sample chips from Avalon by that time.
You are free to have your chips sent elsewhere if I don't.

Where in Germany are you located? in Hamburg

Some people in this threat are going to Hamburg this summer and public photos so shut up and wait.

PM: who the fuck are u?

I'm noob. A nobody...
But I've been buying Bitcoin since it was $5 and that makes me an elder compared to these fly-by-night scammers that are showing up.

jorgeantolini-
When you just copy+paste Burnin's text (like from this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=179769.msg1935789#msg1935789), it is really confusing. It's as if you are typing as Burnin himself.

Why won't he name his "officially registered company"?
Or at least the "Avionic and Military" companies in Germany he wants to contract?

Thats my point too. Nothing is shown till now by any developer. But i tend to klondike too. Im a bit unsure about burnin finally too because i contacted him via pm and twice in the thread to ask if i can visit him to check out his place and get a feeling about this all. He didnt react to this question. So being forced to pay without anything to ensure me... i doubt. On the other hand... if its only claiming interest in the miner without having to pay now would be another thing...

This is coming from SebastianJu. Not some nobody like you or me.
If the person organizing a huge group buy reaches out, you should answer.

He claims to want to keep his design closed-source initially. That I can understand.
But to stay quiet about his identity, exact location (there are bitcoiners that want to meet him), and company, when that information will soon be required anyways, is a huge red flag.

You guys should seriously considering waiting for (or asking for) more proof:
A video of the finished prototype hashing, some more plans or schematics that won't give away his work, or at least a friggin' resume...

Two other things to consider:
1. Why would he only accept BTC for his chips but both BTC+fiat for boards?
2. How come he hasn't disclosed how many chips he has bought from Zefir himself?
3. All his images are uploaded and hosted from Anonymouse.org

I may be paranoid, or he may be genuine.
In either case, one thing is certain-
You guys need to be vigilant and have a healthy skepticism when dealing with anything Bitcoin-related.

Burnin, can you chime in?
