Hello everyone,
We are a mining company based in Georgia Tbilisi, in the Free Economic zone, with low electricity cost and no taxes.
We are located next to Industry's Leader Bitfury's mining farm.
We just ordered 100 units of L3+ Miners and 60 units S9 Miners with PSU's from BITMAIN Technologies.
They issued us with a invoice of
284 000$. As we are a Holding company, we used Bank wire transfer as a payment method.
Today we went to the bank to make a transfer and completed it. After few hours bank calls us and asks for the invoice from BITMAIN technologies as this was a insured transfer by us that cost extra 6K.
So what happens is that, invoice from Bitmain clearly says "IMPORTANT: Please only include the order ID in the bank deposit message in order to credit your account. And do not mention BITCOIN, ANTMINER or any invalid messages in case the money will be returned by the Bank)So, as we didnt pay much attention to this message and send invoice to the Bank, and invoice says "Antminer costs" the bank has read this message and they refunded our payment asap, and they said there is no way they will make this transfer as basically we are telling bank just send it bank, but invoice clearly reads out ANTMINER costs.
All usd transfer goes through USA banks, so there is no way in world, that the bank ignores this message. How can we not mention these words, BITcoin or bitmain or Antminer if the invoice itself says so.
Some banks might ignore this message for transfers up to 10-15K, but our transfer is 284 000 USD, its more than a quarter of a million.
Company is not quite sure how to complete the order, we not even sure if we can trust this by paying 284K by bitcoins or litecoins.
What is the alternative guys ? Has anyone made such a big order from Bitmain and how did they proceed it with the bank ?
Do you guys think that sending this guys quarter of a million worth of bitcoins or litecoins is safe??
What happened is that Bank read the invoice, which says Dont mention it is transfer for Antminer, and invoice says Antminer costs,
Can you guys remove such a message from invoice?
You are basically saying to the bank, to lie to the bank and at the same time invoice itself does not lie
If anyone is from Bitmain at these forums, can they tell me whats happening? Why do you guys say not to Mention Antimner to bank when you clearly say it in the invoice that it is for 100 L3+ and 60 S9's?
Any help appriciated
I've done with them orders for 50k and above with wire transfer and with bitcoin also, in fact I'm dealing with them since S1s came out. They are not a perfect company to deal with, but 8/10 for sure. BTW my farms are located in Tbilisi too and I'm local, I'm running hosting business for only global customers and mining myself also as a full time job. Also consider that there are two biggest farms I've ever seen with 500+ S9s (I don't know who was their adviser and who did this stupid thing, they hired me after they ordered equipment) so be sure that it is possible to get what you want in Georgia from Bitmain without any issues.
