Math doesn't care what you believe.

I have ordered and paid via wire several times without issue. I usually add a little extra funds to cover banking fees on their end. I prefer paying with BTC when it is available.

Shipping into the US I have had best luck using DHL. When I use UPS I always get a bill for additional customs brokerage fees after delivery. I haven't had any additional fees due with DHL.

DHL is the way to go. I live in Canada and have no problems with DHL. Great service and they bill me after the fact for brokerage and duties. UPS screws up every delivery

Here in the mid-west USA I've had decent luck with Fed-Ex.  Their custom charges (for packages over $2500) are about half of what UPS rips me off for.

All May not be lost!  After long hold times w/the bank and email sessions w/bitmain I have gotten them to admit the fact that the problem COULD be on their end (the banks end).  This would be another lifetime first for me made possible by the crazy adventure that is bitcoin mining...MAN what a crazy business we got ourselves mixed up in hey?

The *sigh* is because at least 3-4x a month here and in other threads someone comes up with the same 'idea' of using a cooler. Would they ever think of using a cooler as a room air conditioner by leaving its door(s) open? Unlikely. Why? Because of their low BTU ratings it loses its cool rather fast before cooling off the room and yet the same thought never enters their minds when it comes to cooling miners...

I'll give an 'A' for them considering the idea but folks need to think things through a lot more...

OK, beer cooler might not be enough.  But when I find something I won't just leave them lay in there but rather duct the heat out. I have to have them outside as this is phoenix and it's now 105+ everyday. If I keep em in the house they use too much power to run my air and WE CAN'T HAVE THAT! It's a Mobile Park and my elec is included (no meter even) and I have a garage on a separate circuit but it gets hot in it by the afternoon. I have 5 S3s that I have a total of $150 (w/PSUs) so with them all running my ROI is within my lifetime. Think I wanna pay for em and eventually sell as a package. sort of a mini mining farm. Then buy something with more power and small electric usage that I can maybe just leave in a corner of my place. I have an upright freezer in the garage but I don't wanna cut it up as it's fulla food, but I think it WOULD work.

Swamp cooler might be enough to cool your intake air in the desert.

Don't wanna run that much moisture through them.

small note for those who were saying 7nm wasnt comming next . https://news.bitcoin.com/japans-gmo-specs-price-7nm-bitcoin-mining-rigs/  tomorrow is next.

With delivery in October it still isn't really official. Not worth the gamble imo

Yep, and drawing too much power.   It's still better than 2 s9's, but not by much.

Point taken. Seems I may haveta shut down during the heat of the day and resume at night.

there are passive radiators. If you have a small well, you can use underground well water to have it flow through, and cool the air towards your minders.
Quite cheap, only cost is a small electric well pump of 75-100 watts.

Keep us informed!  Sounds like there may be a good solution to this!

I always pay with Bitcoin.  Fast, easy, and I use coins I mined with.  Twas a bit of a pain when they only accepted Bitcoin Cash, but now things are back to normal.  Well.  Kind of.  I've stopped buying S9s in favor of Avalons.  Now the trick to only do that when Avalon pricing is compariable.  Seems those windows are pretty short.

WELL IT WOULD APPEAR that ship has sailed,  what became of my much loved usd?  Some lucky chinese fella got a nice payday cause I inputted his bank ACCT# instead of bitmain's?  I know I double checked the #s.  I'm not too stoopid to type, or copy paste am I?  If so paying w/BTC wouldn't have helped me, would it?

EDIT:  AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Angry

Ugh, sorry to hear.  Sad

Yea, me to.  I've never tried wiring money to buy miners.  Sorry to hear a horror story like this.

No, it won't for the same reason a refrigerator/cool does not work: Yes they all can get very cold but they do it by *slowly* removing the heat from inside the well insulated casing and what is stored inside. The food inside only has heat energy stored from when you put the food in and does not generate any additional heat.

In short, only air conditioning systems and fluid chillers are designed to continuously move large amounts of heat input - that is why they are so power hungry vs refrigerators/coolers/freezers.
