Hey everyone, I just saw that a user named polargrid from Germany has dropped some news about new ASIC hardware (check out the links below). It's supposed to be 5nm tech with 75TH at 2800W. https://sbpblockchain.com/ https://polargrid.space/ Anyone got any info on this? For those interested in the German topics: https://here/topic1 https://here/topic2 Cheers, Willi

yes it really could be, but let's wait for the countdown first but could also be very interesting and a new (small) player. I would rather wish for the second one. but if we see crap / scam, so we shuld warn immediately Best regards, Willi

Scammer announce crap all over the planet regularly. Don't hold your breath, you'll be dead. If anyone announces something real with hardware to go with it, many other will see if before you do.

The Web UI looks just like the Bitmain one with a new logo sticker on it.

Well, the miner does have an original design, ignoring that it looks a bit like a used miner, it's funny that in the video on Twitter it shows 2980, does anyone know a miner who does 73Th at ~2920W?  90 days domain, Twitter account created in October...flags are starting to pile up.

nothing add up in this video, the Linux build for xilinx is from 2020, the cgminer Version 1.0.0, there is screen running in the background, Copyright 2013-2014 by xxx, and so on And a 50% - 70% Discount LOL and a swiss support number, OMFG It does not smell like a scam, it stinks!

got the message from Polargrid. No test will be possible and no distribution of hardware through the forum. too bad, I wanted to bring a little more light into the darkness, but not possible. so no answer of: is it scam or not? so watch out if you order something here. If so, I would be happy about a review...

As a Chinese miner and mining equipment supplier with 5 years of experience, I clearly tell you that this is a scam and there is no such machine. Please look for antminer and whatsminer when purchasing miners.
