Topic: IN STOCK in LOS ANGELES. Scrypt Asic Miner Gridseed (Read 9437 times)

Hi!

I have placed an order for Zeusminer Blizzard 1.2Mh/s @ Hash-master.com on May 15th. I payed instantly via PayPal and in my account log it is still marked as awaiting payment. They do not answer to my e-mail regarding this status.
I also see, they have moved this exact miner from their main page, although is still accessible via this link http://hash-master.com/zeusminer-blizzard-1-2mh-s-s-flex-portable-pro-scrypt-asic-miner/.
They stated they will start delivering it latest May 31st. Now I know it is only 250$ (worldwide shipping included), but still I don't shit money.
Do you think I have a chance of getting this? I will claim a dispute about 3 days after their promised date of dispatching if there is no news from them or proof of shipping.

Would buying it from here be more reliable? http://zoomhash.com/collections/top-sellers/products/the-wolf-6-chips-1-26mh-s-45w
The description and site format is exactly the same, word to word, as Hash-Master so I think this is the same BS, probably even the same people..

What do you think?
Thanks.

BUYER BEWARE - HASH-MASTER BIG HUGE RIPOFF. The best thing that could be said about them is that they are terrible at business. Unless you enjoy never getting a response to your purchase, then waiting around for weeks to get reimbursed from Paypal, go with a reputable distributor. Not Hash-Master-Disaster.

Made an order on 5/5 as they dropped the price lower than ZoomHash. Wish I would have read this thread first. I guess I'll keep you guys updated. So far no confirmation email and one email sent about the order and my account no longer being recognized by their site. Glad I paid with PayPal because they'll defiantly refund me if needed.
UPDATE 5/14:
I received my blade exactly 8 shipping days after my order. Although they waited until the last minute, I still received it within the 8 day period they advertised. However, the order was shipped incomplete as it is missing the PCI-e molex cable that I had purchased to power the unit.
UPDATE 5/16:
Cable arrived. Unit live.

Scary.  I placed an order on 04/29.  They processed my credit card the same day.  I asked to cancel the order on the same day....and no response.  I just sent another email to them and if they do not respond again, I guess I will just have to file a dispute with my credit card company.

Wish I would've done more research before giving them $1600.

Yeah, that about sums it up.  Buy from Zoomhash, JustASIC, or any other trusted vendor.

So the conclusion of this thread is buy from "Zoomhash" whos actually in LA area, rather then some unknown valley address, who lacks on delivering what is promised.

Who is spreading rumors that we are related to hash-master?

Where did people hear that we are related?

We are absolutely positively not related to hash-master what so ever.

FINAL UPDATE

Like forum member Bulform, my experience with www.Hash-Master.com has NOT been very pleasant.

March 12th - I placed my order for the "in stock" Package D for $4,835 (or ~7.55 BTC at the time) via a Coinbase transaction.
                  This package contained 20 Gridseed miners plus ALL the accessories to get you up and running.

March 13th - I did not receive any confirmation of my order so I wrote an email to [email protected] asking for assistance.

                - Hash-Master responded and stated that my order would be processed the following day.

March 14th - I sent Hash-Master another email inquiring if my order was place as I, still, had not received any confirmation.

                - Hash-Master CC'd me on an email to somebody named Cruz asking him to send me my tracking info.

March 15th - Cruz sent me a UPS Tracking Number.  The UPS website stated that the items associated to this tracking number should arrive by Friday, March 21st.

March 19th - I sent another email to Hash-Master to inquire about my order.  The UPS Tracking Number status still stated that the shipping label had been created but nothing sent.

                - Cruz sent a reply stating that he would "look into that."

March 25th - The UPS Tracking Number status changed to "Pickup Scan" for the two packages with a delivery date of March 31st.

March 27th - Another UPS Tracking Number is created for a third package and sent to me by email.

March 31st - Two packages arrive.  They contain everything except for the power supplies and controllers.

April 1st     - Another UPS Tracking Number is created for an Express Envelop with a next-day priority.

April 2nd    - The third package arrives.  It contains the power supplies but no controllers.

April 3rd   - The UPS Express Envelop arrives.  It contained...NOTHING, NADA, ZIP!!!  WTF?    
                   Yes, they sent me an empty envelop.  It even states on the label that it weighs 0.0 LBS.
                   I don't get it.  Why send me all but about $300 worth of hardware.  Unfortunately for me, hardware that I need.

               - I sent a polite email to Hash-Master ask for them to please send me my missing controllers.

April 5th    - Still no reply from Hash-Master.

April 7th    - No reply from Hash-Master.


Sigh.  Lesson learned.  DON'T BUY FROM HASH-MASTER.COM!

I will not buy anything more from Hash-Master.com and I would suggest anyone reading this to avoid them as well.  I tried to give them the benefit of doubt but they abused it at every turn.  If you want Gridseeds try someone else.  I have purchased from http://ZoomHash.com with no problems at all and numerous friends have purchased from https://JustASIC.com with good results.  But use your own judgement.

who suggests we are the same company? We definitely have nothing to do with Hashmaster

UPDATE

My Package D order has begun to arrive, albeit in multiple parts.  Yesterday,  I received two packages from UPS.  These included the Gridseeds, USB hubs, USB cables, and barrel connectors with pre-stripped ends.  No power supplies or controllers but otherwise the item counts seem correct.  The items were well wrapped in foam, bubble wrap, and air packs.

Two more packages are due Wednesday.  Hopefully these will complete my order so I can get hashing.

I want to provide a follow up on my Hash-Master.com experience.

March 18th - I placed my order for the in stock gridseed
March 20th - Not shipped and the price dropped. I emailed asking status and if I can get a credit for the difference. Was told the credit would be issued and my order will ship tomorrow (March 21st).
March 22nd - Still didn't ship and I haven't seen a credit to my account. I started reading up on this company and I wasn't seeing positive things. So I sent an email asking to cancel my order. They responded that day that my order will ship Monday, March 24th. I immediately replied and said to not ship and to cancel the order. I never received a response. Side note: I went to Zoomhash.com and placed an order with them.
March 24th - Received an email that my order was shipped but it was just a tracking number that was generated. It was not physically shipped. Still no credit to my account. However, my Zoomhash.com order was delivered! 2 days from California and the order was placed on a Saturday!
March 25th - I'm just pissed. Still wasn't shipped when I checked that morning and still no credit. I sent another email (it was 4am their time) stating that this is my 3rd request to cancel. I stated that I will open a dispute with Paypal if they ship anyway. Well, that evening (after 5pm) it was actually shipped and I never heard a response.
March 26th - They responded to my last cancellation email asking if I tracked the package. That was it. They need to throw a tent over that damn circus.
March 27th - Initiated a dispute with Paypal. Still waiting to hear back.
March 31st - Per the tracking number, it will be delivered on Monday.

Bottom line, avoid hash-master.com and do NOT pay them with BTC. I'm glad I (may) have some protection with PayPal. Instead, use zoomhash.com. Some people have suggested that they are the same company, and maybe they are, but it's obviously run in two different ways. My zoomhash order showed up with a power plug that had screw terminals and a USB cable. It's not much, but more than I was expecting and it was helpful to have both of those.

I'm done venting now. Thank you for listening.

I'm looking to order a complete kit, but was wanting a power supply that could handle 5 Miners running Dual Mode.
1 X 12 volt 5 amp DC power supply is what comes with the single miner combo.
Would only be enough for 1 Miner, correct?

I already have a computer I will be using, though it runs CGminer for a Radeon card.  Can I launch a 2nd CGMiner just for the ASIC?

How loud are the fans and can they be tuned(low RPM for night time)

Whoa you actually got 1 USB cable?!?!  I didn't get anything... just the Gridseed lol...

I had to call them before they actually shipped and I paid by Bitcoin...

Looks like my Hash Master order hit the road yesterday. UPS says I should have it on Monday.

Can you pay with credit/pre paid debit cards for them?
What is the current cost for 2?
My friend ordered one a while back, and actually got theirs.  I had told them "there is no such thing"
I got served.

Today the tracking shows that the parcel is picked up and already in DHL LA depot.

Andy

I checked UPS again and, to my surprise, one of the two packages in my order was picked up today with a delivery date of 03/31.  Oh well, it will be just shy of two weeks since I ordered a product supposedly "in-hand".  No idea why the other package was not sent.  Also, absolutely no communication from Hash Master.  I guess I'm lucky to get anything for my money.  I hope that they get their act together.

My order took forever to ship - when it finally did, I was missing some items.  Ordered 2x Gridseeds, received only 1 USB cable.

360W "industrial" PSU came bare - no power cable, no DC barrel cables to connect to the Gridseeds.  The item description has changed on their website.  Previously, when I ordered, the description said 6x Gridseed power cables were included.  Plus, something is broken inside the PSU - when I shake, it sounds like it's full of nickels.

The Zoom Hash Gridseed just arrived (I opted for Express).

Hoping I see some movement tonight or tomorrow on the tracking from Hash Master.

Wrote them to their contact address, and they got back to me in a few hours time with an apparently working DHL tracking code. I don't know if it has anything to do with that, but I also started a PayPal item not received claim... 

Andy

I just received a shipping notification email for a single Gridseed I ordered from hash master on Thursday. I'll post back when I see movement on the UPS tracking.

After reading this thread over the weekend I placed an order for another Gridseed from zoom-hash, just in case. I got tracking on that a few hours ago. Still too soon to see any movement on that yet.

I emailed these people and asked how long shipping is.

They never responded.

Wrote from two different email accounts.

I would not buy from them.

I'm having a similar experience. Received a tracking number on 3/20/14 but they haven't actually given the package to UPS yet. Have you heard anything further?

If that is the case, they did not make that clear.  Nor have they replied to me with any information at all.  All they need to say is that it's on it way from China.  At least I would have a status.

Also, as an aside to this over on the Zoom Hash forum, apparently the full set combos are shipped directly from the factory in China, not the L.A. warehouse.  This has to be why the full set orders have no feedback while the single units go out straight away.  Or so I hope, as I placed 2 orders, 1 with each.

Hey, wait a second.

I think Hash Master and Zoom Hash are the same.
According to my online Banking, my purchase from Hash Master and Zoom Hash come from ISO BEAUTY INC.

3rd day so far after they said I would get tracking #...  still waiting on these jokers... friend of mine actually got his in 3 days...

Same story here. I purchased an "In Stock" gridseed. After 3 days of waiting for it to ship I emailed them and I was told that it would ship today. Nope. So I emailed to cancel my order and went with Zoomhash. Not a good operation at hash-disaster

I made a purchase of just one Gridseed unit, to just check it out and test it.  Hash-Masters delivered, but they are horrible at communication.  I had to email them twice and call them once just to find out if and when my order was shipping.  I did finally receive my product about 1.5 weeks after I made my purchase.

Unit works, though I'm having issues getting my Scripta to recognize the Gridseed Miner when installed using my Raspberry Pi.  Works fine on my Window's 8.1 machine using CGMiner 3.7.2 made for Gridseed units, though you have to toy with it, to get CGMiner to recognize the device itself, I find I have to start CGMiner, Unplug the device, plug it back in, and then restart CGMiner, before it will even register that there is a Gridseed hooked up.  Annoying to say the least.  Hopefully I can figure out what is wrong with my Pi.

Overall I'm happy with my purchase, and glad I made it through Hash-Masters, aside from their communication issues, they do delivery their product and are super friendly on the phone when you have questions.

I just noticed that zoomhash uses a raspberry pi controller in English, so I'll know what's going on.
These Wiibox's are worrysome to me.
I replied to cancel my order, we'll see how that goes, luckily I used  Visa.

Same story here. I ordered package D on 13th. Payed with BTC. Phoned to give them my shipping address and they said they were shipping same day or next day and that i'd get my tracking number. After further email, I received the DHL tracking number on saturday 15th and was happy, but day after day the status was the same "Shipment Information Received". Phoned DHL and they say they haven't still shipped anything with that tracking number. I've just emailed them again. Let's see what happens now.

But it should work automatically, instead of having to ring the owner to have one's order fixed... If everyone rings the owner, the whole thing will be just as f*cked up as it is now (or even worse, though).

Andy

I was about to trash this company due to lack of response regarding my concerns in my previous post, however, I spoke to the owner on the phone yesterday and all seems to be resolved.  My order was being held up due to one part missing (10-port USB hub), but shipped today and I have a valid tracking# now.

The owner was very helpful over the phone and definitely wanted to make sure I was happy with my purchase.  Assuming everything arrives in good working order, I will do business with them again.

Aren't these scrypt miners (and the coming KnC miners) going to totally destroy mining scrypt coins? There are entire networks that could be easily 50% attacked and annihilated with just a couple of these rigs (or one KnC miner) FUUUUCK!

These guys are SEVERELY DISORGANIZED!!!

I ordered and payed via coinbase and then had to e-mail them after not hearing from them a full day...
took them another full day to even find the order after asking me what the address I payed with was...
then they said tracking number would come but it's been 2 days since they've said that and nothing yet...

If you are going to order from these yahoos better to order through paypal and not pay directly with BTC so you can cancel and get your money back if they take too long...

Ordered from zoomhash and got tracking next day

I ordered Package D 20x on March 12th.  I paid with BTC through Coinbase and got a Confirmation #.  I never received an Order # through the Hash Master site for some reason.  The next day I contacted their support email and asked for assistance.  They promptly replied and said that I would receive a UPS Tracking number shortly.

On March 15th, I was sent a UPS Tracking number with the status "A UPS shipping label has been created." and a delivery date of March 21st.  I felt satisfied and left the order at that.

Yesterday, March 19th, I checked the UPS Tracking number to see the status of the shipment.  To my surprise, it has not changed.  The label was printed but nothing given to UPS.  I contacted support again and they are "looking into it."

The package that I purchase was supposedly in-stock.  I ordered it because it had all of the accessory items that I would need to plug-n-play.  If it wasn't in-stock, it would have been nice to let me know.  I would have still placed the order.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt...for now.

Just be Aware everyone the warranty for this product is poor, if one of your miner fails after 60 days they do not offer replacements. Surprising hence most computer hardware Manufacturers offer it least a minimum of 6-12 month warranty.
If you buying packs of x10, x20, you most likely to get 3-5 failing on you in the long run.
Another problem, there is so much cables you will need to do some serious cable management.
They could have it least included a nice frame/case to make thing easier to run several miners.

Good luck my friend.
I thought that package D 20X was in-stock, well that is what states on the www site.

Mine was no pre-order at discount price for the next batch, but in-stock items for the full price, which should be delivered at once.

Andy

Sorry for late reply we are so busy at the warehouse 
for all the pre order's it takes 2 weeks.
i will keep you updated with your tracking number.

Got all my Gridseed miners working and all seems to be going well with them. Hash rate and power consumption are per other postings in the forum.

I ended up not using the power cables supplied by Hash Master as they did not use ground. This is just personal preference and I have plenty of old power cables sitting around that I was able to re-purpose.

I also did not use the Wii Box controller. I tried to get it running, but it just would not work. I suppose I could have got it working if I put more time into it. I have a few spare rPIs and I was able to use one of them to install the cpuminer software. Works great.

Mr. Hash Master.

I am curious to the timing of order to delivery?
I am assuming you were flooded with orders and are scrambling?

#3771

Mine is #3113, as per the confirmation E-mail.

Andy

Also had same issue with website. No confirmation, apart from PayPal receipt.

Account says no orders ?

It was # order 3706

Thanks
Mark

I'm having the same problem.  Received email to create account, I did, but said I cannot access the page when I try to view my order history.

Now, when I try to login, it says account does not exist.

Received UPS tracking# two days ago but when I view status it just says the label has been printed.  Tried calling the phone# but it's just a recording that the voicemail is full.  I'd like to order about 8 more of these but so far I'm not impressed.  Order# 2032

Hey andy sorry for late reply we're so busy in the warehouse. what's your order number?
and also we making a new website it's probably messing up with the log in.

Ordered 4 pieces Sunday on their website, received link in E-mail to the order.

Had to ask for new password though, as login details have not been provided. It worked yesterday OK, could log in, but the website insisted, that I don't have right to access that page of my order.

Today I don't even have my account, all gone, E-mail address is not recognized...

What happened?

Andy

Yeah I would like to see those Asics runing

Can anyone who has purchased from Hash Master post pictures of what you received? Thanks!

Just to update, I received my Gridseed units from this company on Friday.  Have proof if necessary, since some users claimed this company was a scam.  While I appreciate the due diligence of other bitcointalk members trying to help users not get scammed, I feel that some go overboard in accusations and it becomes a witchhunt. It also seems to be the case that competing members, selling the same machines as this OP and or other members, try to defame each other, inorder to gain customers and limit competition.  As a normal member not selling any services or goods, these tactics are sad and end up confusing other members.  To each is own, no finger pointing at anyone, and without any skin in the game it really does not effect me.      

Just got my DHL tracking for the 20 unit package...

I ordered Package C (10 miners + accessories) from Hash Master on Saturday.

My order got split into 2 shipments and I received the first package by UPS today. I should get the next shipment in a couple of days or so.

Hash Master have product, are shipping and have been very responsive and friendly when I have contacted them.

I'll post an update once I get everything running.

Wow, I was just made aware of this thread otherwise I would have posted earlier.

I purchased 20 miners from their web site and picked them up in person last week (Tuesday I think). Unfortunately I did not get to meet Hash-Master himself but his warehouse staff were very friendly. We spoke shop for about an hour.

They are a legitimate business with (what appears to be) strong distribution relationships in China. I do not think they are very active on the board so it may be best to deal with them by phone or email.

Regardless of who other member may think I am, I said I would update.   So I just received my tracking number and my package was picked up from California, should get it in 3-4 days.

Will you do Escrow? Assuming I pay for it? I'm talking about a large purchase.

I ordered a gridseed 5 device PSU for $45 and will post when i receive it.

Just recently bought some units from Hash-master, will update when I receive tracking and when I receive the unit.  The communication so far has been great and with the payment protection provided by Paypal I felt safe to purchase from them.  As of this moment I am satisfied, and will let other members know when I get the goods.

Hair styling tools isn't the only product that is being distributed from the warehouse address located on the map posted.

Dude...read the thread...even worse...read the PART OF THE THREAD YOU QUOTED.

It's a scam.  Proven.

I live in downtown Los Angeles. This place is located in the valley about 30 minutes from my place. Are you guys open on the weekends? Website only states 9-5 but not what days.... SAD

Also, why does Hash Master use a Northern California telephone number instead of a SoCAL area code? I'd love to come by and pay in person and pickup a few units this weekend.

Pretty sure Hashra is Gridseeds biggest customer right now...

I just got off the phone with ISO's customer service. They still occupy the address you gave as yours, and the warehouse is theirs.  Nice try though.  

/thead.

Edit: If anyone else wants to confirm this, their number is (818) 771 9359.  Customer service is option #6.

Greetings,
And thank you. If you look closely at the map, you'll see a huge warehouse located in the ISO Beauty Professional building. We are the Master Distributor of Gridseed for the United States, Europe and Hong Kong.  Please contact sales@gridseed to verify the claim.

He then proceeded to abandon this thread and start a new one, hoping no one would notice it was the same guy.

What a tool.

Even more fishy.  Look at the OP

Now look at this post over at litecointalk.org from Zoom Hash who seem to be very reputable https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=16187.0

He just copy pasted that post pretty much.  That was posted Feb 24th so 3 days before this thread.

Further inconsistency

Sounds like they're still in business, too (the beauty supply co.)

Tagged both alt accounts with negative feedback until shown that this is not a scam.

This is a scam.  If you look on google maps at this address there is a beauty shop.

First person to receive an order please post! 

I'm in LA, can I pick up in person?

I believe you may be mistaken Hash Master Tech with another company, our supplies were never seized.

We are currently out of stock on 2nd shipment, 3rd shipment will be in tomorrow for sales on Monday.

We are one of two Master Distributors in the United States and EUR. You may confirm this with Gridseed themselves. [email protected]

We just release some ready to ship out tomorrow. We were originally going to receive 400 but most of the shipments got seized by customs Sad. Those of you that ordered from China, be careful!

Limited quantity. Good luck!
