Hashfast should not be a B.

F or D would be realistic. I would even dare to say they should be below bfl.

Changelog 03/10/2014
Company changes:
  • Bitmine demoted to C. Continuing delays and lack of communication both globally and with individual orders. Hire some PR and CS. Also preferring (openly) commercial partners in production. Review March 22.
  • AMT demoted to D+. Very delayed, no communication.
  • VMC demoted to F. The evidence suggests it is simply a scam. Avoid this company.
  • Bitmain promoted to A+. Continued market leading success.
  • Blackarrow not changed but promotion not activated. Although they have sorted all refunds, delivery is still a while away.
  • Avalon not changed but promotion not activated. Promotion to A if trade in order problems are dealt with.
  • Cointerra promoted to B+. Newer firmware is more stable and compensation is ongoing.
  • Lightning ASIC promoted to C+ due to good success. Promotion to B if no problems before March 22 [building reputation].
  • Drillbit review delayed, awaiting new products.
  • Redhash review delayed, awaiting new products.
  • Technobit not changed but promotion not activated. Too many units are failing in the wild, but are being dealt with.

Still newbs need to be aware that buying mining equipment is a seller's market. That fact can't be stressed out enough, most "consumers" today have a totally wrong expectation.
Also you won't regret reading up on import duties and procedure for your country before you order.

Don't expect your ASIC vendor to react to your inquiry for customs documents. For the EU you will have to pay at least import VAT and will be required to show an invoice which customs will believe. They sometimes are not totally dumb and simply open the package and confront you with the amazon or ebay price.

Hi Dogie,

As to the refunds being ignored I have no information on that, can you say how many people have reported that to you and out of that number how many have shown you evidence of their order? I only ask because the company is plagued by Trolls some of who have previously lied about having orders, having machines, having refunds refused etc.

Regards,
minerpart



I can attest to my refund requests to being ignored by VMC for the past 10 weeks.

I still haven't got my refund and they are now ignoring my requests. All 40 of them.

Kenneth slaughter has now resorted to removing all my posts and others in the official thread because we're all asking him what' he's going to do about the refunds. If you call this trolling then so be it. It doesn't remove him from the fact that he's effectively taken my money and will not give it back. Either he is committing a massive fraud or is genuinely an idiot. Both of which should not be tolerated.

I suggest demotion further down the list for VMC. If the time comes when I get my check in my hand and the check clears my bank then I will happily state so in here.

If you have any proof that you actually have an order, you can PM me it, or let me log into your store account.

They still have miners. The owner only didnt advertise them much in the last time. They want to sell more when BTCGarden gives them more. I dont know if other chips and miners are planned too.
This list is for current market miners, if I see active group buys or listings then I can add them.

They are current. Or do you mean they are too old?
Current as in hardware is being sold NOW. If they have nothing to offer, they don't need to be on the list.

I am still owed BTC1.43 that Technobit refuses to refund after they botched a group buy

serious ethical issues

Link or more info?

Looking for original link, was mid 2013

The salient details are that he ran a group buy for Avalon chips, 4 months into the buy when avalon decided to not deliver, instead of PMing all the buyers he made a single post in what was now a 5 month old thread, essentially saying "Send me a signed message by this date and time for a refund" half a dozen people didn't see this post (for obvious reasons) when I finally saw the post weeks later, his reaction was "too late" now when I get the chips I will ship them to you. Which he claims he did (like threw them in an envelope and put a 50 cent stamp on it in Bulgaria) and I have never received a refund or the chips, I have been literally pestering him for either for 6+ months as have others in the botched group buy. With no results.

He has no integrity in my opinion and his trust ratings reflect that. He takes 4 to 6 months to ship customers goods and reading any thread where he sells also reflects that.  

he is this much || better than BFL in my opinion.

But thats what i say. The hardware is being sold NOW. At https://starfire-x.com/ or the thread i linked to get more infos.

The thread you linked had been dead for other a month.

That's correct.  Hardware is available now, and so far every order has shipped less less then 12 hours after an order was paid.

Ok I'll add it. I'm not very happy about the claim in your sig... you say your miner is cheaper per GH than an Antminer, when in fact its ~2.5x more expensive?

Hmm, I think that was based on their old price, before they started shipping again (and taking shipping into account). It looks like they're a bit cheaper now, so I'll remove that.

I found you havent added starfire-x yet. They sell miners they build themself based on BTCGarden ASIC's and boards. See here: Starfire-X and here is a Review from Kushedout Click

Will take a look, thanks.
I'm going to say this company is too low volume as of yet to be added. They sold a small test batch and that was it.
