$70 for a $12 PSU? meh..

for $348/hr, I'll spend 10 min soldering to get the same result.





If thats the PSU your using... wow

+1. good PSU type, but what is up with that plastic shrouding? it looks terrible and IMO serves no purpose
Have you ever accidentally caught your finger on a 6000RPM fan?

Scary thought...

Looks like a reseller or copy.  Buy directly from Bitmain instead. Everyone selling miners on Alibaba is trying to ripoff ignorant foreigners anyway.
Chinese market, clones and reselling everywhere
Yes but prices are too high anyway, so better to buy directly... the only thing you need to manage the custom taxes and invoice value for VAT...

"As soon as your payment is received in full you will receive email confirmation with order delivery details."

I'm not questioning Bitmain; I really do like them over all the others, but did anyone who ordered yesterday receive any email confirmations of their orders?

yes.  ordered/paid on the 10th.  confirmation email on the 12th, when it was shipped.   due to arrive in Southern California, tomorrow, Friday, March 14.

Just checked UPS tracking, and its in Ontario,CA.  right on schedule for tomorrow's delivery. Grin

Dang that's fast, just put my order in wed!

HI all,

I need a little help. This is the second antminer I am setting up. The first one went really smooth.
The second one I got today.

Here is the problem I am trying to solve.
1) antminer powers up ? does not start hashing
2) BTC guild sees it. but it is not hashing. ( I usually use Eligius)
3) when I boot it up the green light is flashing and the other one stays red.
4) I can log on to the miner in the web interface obviiousy...I have it set to DHCP just like the first miner.

any help would be appreciated.

Look like your psu is not strong enought.

Hi, In China they already sell SINOSIGMA-Ant-Miner-Bitcoin-Miner-180-GHs... have you heard about it? It is the same or better than first AntMiner?



Ordered one a few months ago just to see what will happen...... Got scammed

so bad i have lost all faith i bitcoin and am thinking of deleting my wallet with the btc in it and maybe a hammer to the miners all 700 ghs that is how bad it was

Please do this.  And, remember kids, pics or it didn't happen.  Wink

i want to see the bitcoin community's reaction to this before i decide so far i have been attacked by the  people that  have some thing to do with bitmaintech. the first 2 days  
getting attacked for loosing faith is not restoring my faith. not sure if this is how i feel or if this is a over reaction to bad costumer from bitmaintech/sushi the warranty department. and if i do this you can bet you ass i will make a video if i do this. that would have to go viral.
by the way i have not had any thing to do with the bitcoin community this warranty issue is my first look at the community from the inside that was not being aired as a news post so far i do not like the community i have seen. Hope this changes.
I am not a social media user this is a painful thing for me to do but trying to warn others is worth the pain.
bitmaitech is a scam do not use

I'm sorry for your one bad experience but the truth is microprocessors are complicated devices and tons of stuff can go wrong, maybe there's a short, maybe over volted, some logic gates go haywire etc.  I personally have no experience with RMA yet because all my ants are working great and once they stop mining, will just sell for scrape parts.

One bad experience shouldn't lead you to making sweeping generalizations. It's true the world of bitcoin mining is littered with manufacturers who never ship or aren't even real or keep you in pre-order limbo to ebay sellers who are just scam masters... in this entire wild wild west, bitmain for me at least has been the most reliable place to shop at. Probably not perfect but they are still the only ones who actually ship products out now and today. True, a KnC is probably nice and uses relatively low power but what good is it if I'll only get my 3TH in June at a much much higher difficulty

thank you for the warm and fuzzy
had i gotten something like this over the last 15 day it would not have been as bad a thing

I have decided to give away the 0.355 btc bitmaintech coupons (5 total 2.  0.100 btc and 3.  0.055 btc)
i will never do business with bitmaintech or sushi again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i would like to know. how should i offer them to get the most out of the giveaway?
better costumer service is the goal of the give away
have not decided on the hammer to the 3 antminers and the 3 bfl miners, or deleting the wallet......
the giveaway should help with the decision of the hammer and deleting.
going to sleep now should have a good idea on how to do this after a good nights sleep or from one of you.



I ordered at previous month.. bitmaintech good seller and fast ship.. no pre order..
today I order again.. Smiley

2% away from Bronze for 25% cheaper. I guess Bronze is good if you're buying one or two. But I have to stock up hehe.

Remember, you usually get what you pay for!!  And that 20% loss of efficiency stacks across PSUs.  ie, 3x430W = 1290W at 80% efficiency = wasting 258W of power continuously.  

I used to stack cheap bronze PSUs.  Not anymore..
