Hi Guys,

     We are currently working to secure a better price on all the products. I too think $325 is too much, however we pay around 5% to accept credit cards and protect our end from fraud and chargebacks. Not to mention overhead costs and etc. Still, I think we could do better with the price. Stay tuned...

@wolf_miner
We accept USD or bitcoins. Whichever works for you.

@Biffa
We are looking into accepting their coupons. It is possible that we can.

For a second I thought someone left Minersource and started their own thing.  Weird stuff man.

Bitcoin only...

That's how u making money son..

Not only that, but more expensive than us, and we are also in Denver

Dam, your store is expensive is hell!  

Ant S1 $325 in your store vs $245 from Bitmain or resellers.  Not good man.

Hi, S2 is quoted in dollars, but i have to pay in dollars or in Bitcoin like S1?

Thanks W_M

Are the coupon codes you accept bitmains coupon codes? Otherwise it seems like a $740 (inc delivery) penalty to purchase through you. ??

Hi Everyone,

     We have been working with Bitmain as a reseller to get a web store set up for customers to purchase their products with cred/debit card and have products shipped from Denver, CO. Check us out, we opened for business today! www.minerstore.com. We have the S2 in stock, ships ASAP from Denver. We also allow picking up in person, and you can pay in person too!

I posted it in another thread...but hope it's relevant here as well...

Why wouldn't it be fine to premine if you're buying hardware with a confirmed delivery date rather than a preorder? At least you know it works.

Yep, all included, same process as the S1.

Hi, shipping and handling are included in the S2 price?

W_M

You've obviously not seen the pics of what it looked like when it arrived and what I've done to get it up to 1TH/s 

In all fairness, for the amount of bashing the unit took, I'm still surprised that it works at all, props to bitmain for producing a tough miner in the end. A lot, if not most units seem to have arrived in working condition, even batch 1 units before the foam was added on the lid. I wouldn't blame the 'monkeys' that put it on the plane, it's more likely the local branches handling them badly or there would be a lot more pics up here.

I really think a "this side up" sticker could have made a difference for those of us who have received train-wrecks and I think it's a tiny extra cost for bitmain to pay for such an expensive, fragile item

GAW is nothing but a reseller...selling GRIDSEED products so wtf do they have to do with anything?  They also sell bitmain hardware but I guess since you love them soooo much it's OK for them to do it.  Maybe it's you who doesn't know as much as you think you do.

End of all: Show me an other company to order hardware now. Can you?

No quite the contrary, and I hope people here can read and see the real deal, and i think you are refering to GAW miners not gridseed.

I have nothing to do with gridseed or GAW miners , except that i bought some gear from them and have only praised their customer support and been a totally satisfied customer as most if not all Gawminers customers have....forgive me for giving someone props for being different than all the other crooks out there.

Unlike most people here who only compalin about the bad, i also praise the good. Whe some company does right by me whoever they are, then i will give them the respect they deserve, and when someone shits all over me, and sells me crap and wont budge on helping me sort it out, i will say F-U to them and "assault" them as you say.  It would be the same if it was Amazon or Newegg I am not biased, only honest.

I wish I owned Gawminers or even worked there, 1. because I would be rich as hell, and 2. cause then I could say I am part of something different from what seems to be the norm here with these vendors shitting all over their customers.

I've actually said in a bunch of my posts as a discalimer that i do not work for GAW but if they offered me a job i would take it in a heartbeat.

As far as licking nutsacks, Bitmain should be licking ours for giving him free money for crap that doesnt work instead of $400 coupons to buy more crap.

I would have bought the 1TH/s miner from Gaw they now have listed on their site if hey had it available before i bought the S2, as i wanted a 1TH/s miner and Bitmain seemed to have a good reputation, and since I also have 5 - S1 units running solid for a while now, and based on that i figured the product must be good.

I am actually ordering the 1TH/s miner from GAW and im sure if there are any issues with it, they would handle it 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 tiimes better and more proffesionaly than bitmains crapy support. (did i add enough zero's? not sure, i may need some more)

So dont assume you think you know something whe actually you know jack shit.

If you had a company and sold gear to people and everything worked well, or if a problem arose and you went out of your way to help get it resolved I guess I would "lick your nutsack" too.  well probably not, but would definetly say good things about you.

Can we all just admit that if the price of BTC went up a little bit we would all see the S2 as a great price?  The problem is you can't predict the future, and it is foolish to make a purchase when considering ROI in BTC, because if you are not thinking that way, instead of expanding your mining farm, buy and hold, IMHO.

As it stands, Batch 2 had a great BTC price (~5.5).  Even with the coupon you are still looking at 4.9 BTC right now.  And I'm sorry, I've had my S2 up and running for over 20 days now, and I've pulled down a little over 1.5 BTC so far.

So in my mind, the price of BTC would have to be slightly over $600 to make it about the same level of purchase.  The way I see it, the Batch 4 is for the people that missed out on Batch 1 and 2, which are already on their way to ROI'ing (even if its just barely in areas where power is moderate-high priced).

Personally, I am going to wait and see if I can buy in if the price of BTC goes way up in the next couple days.  My hedging strategy will be trade BTC (buy low - sell high), and if I miss the boat buying low and BTC price goes really high, I'll buy a miner .  Seems good, eh?

wow! impressive, you must have gotten one of the magical units then..I wish I got one of those

You are a lucky man!

Thank you.



Yes I have been scammed with KNC , 3 Neptunes = 39K.



Can you please blow mine also?




I am sorry for yelling. I wont yell again.

I understand that we dont have to react to any manufacturer's shit.
They understand themselves that there is a problem with their products and they resolve everything immediately.

Is that what you mean?
