From cryptominingblog:
The last part of our initial impressions that did not leave us very happy is the fact that there was quite a bit of dust buildup inside the miner, way more than there should be from a normal testing of new hardware before shipping to customer for example. The outside of the miner makes an impressions that it is new (cleaned well), but on the inside – the fans and the heatsinks of the blades with chips have dust that is hard to cleanup with just compressed air without taking the device apart. The amount of dust we should normally be associated with at least of few weeks of usage in normal everyday environment (non server room) and we don’t think that these devices are tested in a very dusty room. So it seems that they have been “tested” for some more time before being shipped to customers…
hehe!
if someone was still not convinced that they lie when they say "we do not mine" ;-)
There are two parts to that comment. Do they have their own farm with their own mining equipment and do they mine with
their customer inventory. The latter is assumed to be false while the former is likely the target of such a claim.
Miners don't seem more likely to be passed off as new when used than other electronics. It was probably a production
sample that had been stress-tested before shipping to be reviewed. Assuming they knew who they were shipping to
they would make sure the unit wouldn't die during the review tests. Either way the reviewer and the producer should
have been explicit about the unit's status. And not cleaning it was simply sloppy and unprofessional.
any of the machines are tested for two weeks before they are integrated into thefarm ... so even in our own farm - we test machines outside - before they are permanently placed inside the server room ...
even if the miners are sold - they are tested for two weeks ...
but there is NEVER that much dust buildup that would cause the dust to be 'stuck' to any parts of the inside of the machine ... that is a 'test' of large magnitude of time - and has only been seen in our systems after something like 6months worth of mining ( not 'testing' - as it were ) ...
but they can get away with lying - as no one can prove otherwise ...
its a trust factor - and so far - the factor for them is around 1 ( from a scale 1 - 7 ) ...
