Topic: [$2,650] 1THs Coincraft A1 28nm ASIC miner shipping from China - page 3. (Read 9457 times)

Package arrived ! Will see how she performs later today when I get a chance to set it up. No documentation. This is going to be fun !




EDIT: It's alive !

Well your boss sounds like a thieving asshole.

Here is a sample of how other companies (your companies competitors) distribute source code:
https://github.com/bitsyncom
https://github.com/KnCMiner/cgminer
https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1
https://github.com/luke-jr/BitForce_SC (note that even BFL has released source)
https://github.com/gridseed

I could go on, but hopefully you get the point.

I sent BTC to Qiangminer and got a DHL tacking number last Saturday.

He is very kind and sent my miner quickly.

But, my miner doesn't have pick-up message.

It just [Shipment information received] state.

It mean, he reserved DHL delivery and DHL didn't got package.

Qiangminer didn't reply to my mail from yesterday.

So, I can't get any update from Qiangminer and DHL.


If you consider this Group Buy, be careful.


I can see picked-up message in my tacking information. :-)

Sorry that I don't have enough power to push the factory sharing the source code.
I'm only a sales agent not the factory owner and the owner he doesn't care about share this modification
and spread them online. and I think another provider do same things like me.
Could anyone show up about dragon miner or other asic factories who share?

But what is the reason for having it locked?

Doesn't it make it suspicious?

 I can't say that I support this stance. IMO, if you can't publish your changes to cgminer, then you should not be using cgminer to begin with. It's against the agreement included with the CGMiner source code.

 It's poor form and disrespectful to the hard work done by the authors of the software.

We really can't sell at $2,500, we apologize about that. However, we can ship out on the next day after we confirm payment as well.
If we reach the gathering order of 51+ miners after group buy closing date. we will refund $50 back.

I think DHL should update your miner movement today too,
because I send it by the fastest express service of DHL (with high charge to me so).
From my export experience, sometimes DHL HK warehouse was overloaded with parcel posts so it maybe lil late.
I will pursue your express situation from my logistics service this morning and update you soon.

Thanks for the link, hadn't seen that.

A few questions about the miner that I answer the customer:

- source code for cgminer modifications is available where?

We can’t provide you source code for cgminer modifications. For my opnion, others factories are the same.

- circuit schematics will be provided to customers? His is required for maintenance and/or repair

We can’t provide circuit schematics as a secret of our factory. In case, it’s need to repair, pls send its back to us.

- what is required to 'unlock' a miner to allow overclocking?

For A1 chip, it is locked from the factory and highly recommended to do not unlock.
We had pretested and tried out in every ways and found out this miner is very stable
at 1TH with our spec of material. If you want to unlock for overclock, we recommend
to use AVALON GEN3 chip which is designed for overclock miner.
However, our factory still do not release the AVALON GEN3 miner, sorry about that.

- with several manufacturers producing these clones why should I choose qiang?
Web GUI is in Chinese, unproven, no LCD screen, 1kw PSU only (lketc dragons are now shipped with 1.2kw PSU)
and price is essentially the same.

We are 100% brand new and first hand product. We don’t mine with them waiting for customers come to pick them up.
We can provide a translation of Web GUI for our customers.
No LCD to reduce a cost because LCD don’t help to mine BTC ,just show stat.

For PSU, the factory has changed them to 1300kw PSU within box of 1100kw PSU,
because these PSU spec we special order from a PSU factory,
but they don’t have 1,300 kw box for a while. However you can prove by open the box or use meter.


For the price, we try to lower its as much as we can. We guarantee our good quality, good after sale service,
good material with reasonable price. We extremely cannot reduce price anymore.
It’s up to the customers to choose what product and service are suitable for them.
The only thing we can say is we really try our best.


Best regards
Qiangminer

i see an advantage here: Paypal - lets you use your credit card

Can you please specify " Considering 1tH/s rigs just became available for $2500 from competitors,"  ??

Who are they?

 Considering 1tH/s rigs just became available for $2500 from competitors, shipping out tomorrow, I can see your point. However, lacking a LCD is not a deal-breaker as I'm mostly monitoring these via web interface anyway.

 Still waiting on some movement of my DHL tracking number, and can only hope the lack of movement is due to it being Sunday.

Yes, and I ask you again, what is your advantage compared to LKETC?

You dont have a better price, neither an LCD display, nor reputation, nor a website.

Question again, why should I buy from you?

Dear, our customers

I'm going to answer every questions which are in this post, PM or Email.
Please kindly wait and be patience. Thank you very much.

Best regards

No, I mean $2,950 for 1 unit
but when I gather orders from every customers reaching 51+ units
the price will reduce to $2,900

Sorry for my poor English to make you confuse.

It says $2,950 for group buy of 6 miners minimum?

I can buy a single directly from LKETC for the same price.

You mean you you bought it for $2600?

Dragon is $3000.

Sent you a PM!

 How do you figure ? I've seen hosting deals for $2600, but could you direct me to a cheaper source for physical 1tH/s rigs ?
