Yeah....I saw that on ebay by, i'm guessing a scammer. Did a little research and it seems to be talked about, but i've not heard of anyone having or seeing one!

If it exists and takes away from Bitmain, I can see them coming out with a new miner as they've been pretty relaxed on Sha256 for a while as why max out a market when you're doing nicely at the top of the market and have no competition anyway, which is why the S9 has done SOOOOO well rather than being at the mercy of an arms race and obsolete within months, arguably like the D3 was......I mean *WHY* rapidly up the difficulty as the networks balances an increase in hashing power etc
