We are legit   Tongue

That's cool. Would you happen to have any satisfied customers you can point our way, or links to bitcointalk threads that chronicle successful trades?

It's just "i am legit" isn't as concrete as what we usually go on...

i am a satisfied Deepinthemines customer Smiley
They built a rig for me, wonderfully done, few months ago, and recently i purchased a new BTC-pro250 from them, it came quickly and no problems, its operating as i type (the rig he built for me and the board i got from him) haha

UNKNOWN

AsicMinerMarket.com - Adding this site to the unknowns... they SEEM very legit, mainly because they sell out a LOT, so if they ARE scammers, they're missing out on a lot of fake sales. Right now, the only miner not sold out is a 3.6 T A6... which would make you about 5 dollars in profit a month, so it makes sense they'd have a surplus... BUT I've never bought from them personally.

Stay away from these guys I ordered something small through them and they never sent never replied even on paypal weeks waiting overtime for delivery so I got paypal to refund. Thank god I used paypal

Doe anyone know anything about bithardware.net I was looking through some stuff on ebay and in one of the ads on the bottom of the screen showed this company. I tried to google them but nothing really came up. I looked through BCT forum and didn't see anything listed about these guys if anyone know anything about them let me know what you know.

LEGIT or QUIT?

I think someone referenced possibly a thread with an official list maintained, or is this it?

Has anybody here successfully ordered from Hardware Bros?

They've been posting recently on Dash and Bitcointalk forums.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2015201.new#new

http://hardwarebros.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=66

They accept Paypal, and their prices seem a good mix of mark up and reasonable.

BUT they don't seem to have been around for very long, so it's hard to establish their legitimacy.

Any experience / insight wouldmbe greatly appreciated.

If your heart is set on the L3+, I suggest Eastshore.xyz
If you just want good hardware, I'd also suggest waiting for the next D3 batch to pop up on Bitmain (there was one last night that sold out in an hour, but I imagine there will be a lot more), or you could wait till Bitmain sells their next L3+ batch no idea when that'll be tho...

OR I think Bittawm (legendary bitcointalk member) may have some September batch D3s he'd be willing to sell.


Holy Crap!  I just ran the numbers on the D3.  It pays for itself in less than 2 weeks!  LOL.  My heart was set on the L3 because I thought it paid for itself the fastest.  I think my heart is set on the D3 now.

I also have a few Ibelink DM11gs arriving soon. I might consider selling one at a premium if you're interested. Bought them to mine with, were hard to get, and will be able to mine soon, before some of these other models effected the difficulty.

Still, I might consider if the price were right. PM me if you're interested.

Alibaba is listed as LEGIT.  BUT I don't know if just because they list on Alibaba, they're LEGIT.  I've sent out an RFQ and contacted many sellers directly and I have gotten a lot of responses that say they can get me an Antminer L3+ for $1200 - $1600 and have it in immediate stock.  But they'll only take T/T, Bank Transfer, Western Union, or MoneyGram.  I've asked if they would do the Alibaba Trade Assurance Order Protection, and they won't do it.  Could there be that many people out there just taking your money or do you think they are manufacturing knock-off miners?  China is the king of knock-offs.  Can I attach a file?  I got an e-mail from Ms.Jimi Huang from Hjm-Light Technology  Co,.Ltd, (website:hjm-light.com).  There was a nice PDF brochure attached for the Ants mineS9 13.5T, Ants mining machine L3 + 504M, and the Ants Mine S7 4.73T.  I wish I could attach the PDF.

Oh, and I want to thank anyone who had input.  You are all very helpful.

There really is no such thing as "knock off ASICs". It costs millions of dollars to produce... so like, there are different companies producing different models with their unique designs / hash rates / power draw / ship dates / profitability etc,

But it's too expensive / complicated to produce an ASIC, that there really can't be knock-offs. It's not like handbags, ya know?

You're right. I should've been clearer / more precise with my inclusion of Aliebaba on the Legit list.

Aliebaba does / can offer some levels of protection if you use it the right way, the Alibaba Trade Assurance Order being one of the ways. Another way is by the sellers rating (I believe their more trusted sellers are gold ranked. From what I remember, all (modt?) Gold rated sellers accepted the Trade  Assurance anyways...

Im sure people are getting scammed a bunch there, and there are no guarantees in life, but if you just deal with gold ranked members and use their TAO, I think you've mitigated a lot of your risks...

But ive actually never completed an order with them personally. Maybe somebody here would like to share their experience(?)

To avoid the huge increase to the X11 difficulty, you may want to consider the new Obelisk SC1 asic for Siacoin.


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1976753.20

Obelisk.tech

It's a long lead time, and they've never released an asic before (the obelisk asic company is comprised of Siacoin's development team), but the algo (blake2b) is much less likely to get saturated by competing asic companies.

Hash responsibly.

Yes, but once these miners hit the market they will blow up difficulty, and once you get yours in possibly the third batch difficulty will have risen likely to the point of L3+ profits or below. Not horrible but just keep in mind that difficulty is a big factor in these algos where hashrate and efficiency takes massive jumps.

Leowonderful is absolutely correct. 4 other asic manufacturers have come / will soon be coming out with New models over the next few months.

Forgive me while I shamelessly tout my other thread that breaks down the tradeoffs of each.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2042529.0;all

Whatever happens, it seems that the D3 is the best in breed,(esp for the price) and bitmain asics (esp first gen bitmain asics) tend to ROI and run for a bit... but Bitmain is  also known for mass producing asics like toasters.

Anyways, the problem is they sell out so quickly, Eastshore.xyz ( who just delivered my L3+s btw), don't even have them.

Right now, your best bet is either buying one from forum member Bittawm -- who I believe has 30 for sale, but expect a mark up for his troubles.

I might could sell u mine, but since I bought it to mine, I'd be looking for a major premium as well.

The other option is to try for the next batch from Bitmain, but those sell out very quickly and nobody knows when that'll be.

Has anyone dealt with this guy?:
Domain:  newasic.com
Skype:  msrv222
E-mail:  [email protected]
Phone:  +00-86-23-166-21770

When you go to place order, website says to call.  I've Skyped with him, and placed an order, but didn't realize the web site I was using would limit what I could convert and take up to 7 days for bank transfer.  Says he's holding Antminer L3+ & PSU until my transfer clears and I can send full payment.  I've already sent him 3 LTC & $10 USD as "test transfers", which was fine with me because this was the first time paying with cryptocurrency for me.   Is this the typical way you pay by the seller by him giving you just a long code to send to?

I contacted this guy and asked that he send the power supply with the funds I already transferred and that after that arrived I would transfer the rest for the L3+.  He did not want to do that but offered to send my money back.  He says he gets the L3+ from the factory for $750 USD & sells for $1250, or actually 30 LTC, but needs my payment before he can order from the factory and seems that they ship direct from factory.  I expressed my concerns about how no one had these units, and he maintained that he is paying the factory.  I don't know, can there be some knock-offs being sold?  I don't know, maybe if he could send me a picture of the unit with serial number that I could verify with the factory, of course he needs payment first.  He did refund my 3 LTC, or actually 2.9900, I guess that's minus the network fees?

So, I bought my bitcoins for this payment on Sunday for $2700 and before I even get them they're worth only $2500.  I don't want to be in the currency exchange business, I want to be in the mining business.

Even if he is getting them for $750 from the factory, he could be selling them for a lot more.

Also, if he had a reliable coonect from the factory, and wanted to price hardware to move... he would probably me more established / better known... He isn't.

He could also be selling regularly through Alibaba and Aliexpress...

Of course I don't know this person, so I could be wrong, but I seriously think this site is a scam. If you still want to mess with him, I would suggest using Paypal, since they offer buyer protection if the seller never delivers.

It would still take you a while to get your money back, and you gotta make a claim blahblahblah, but at least that's better than the tragic finality of a crypto transfer. My guess is he won't go for it because he doesnt plan on sending anything... you could also suggest using somebody to provide escrow, but he won't want that for the same reason.

If your heart is set on the L3+, I suggest Eastshore.xyz
If you just want good hardware, I'd also suggest waiting for the next D3 batch to pop up on Bitmain (there was one last night that sold out in an hour, but I imagine there will be a lot more), or you could wait till Bitmain sells their next L3+ batch no idea when that'll be tho...

OR I think Bittawm (legendary bitcointalk member) may have some September batch D3s he'd be willing to sell.

All those options would be more expensive than NewAsic's prices, but they're also a lot cheaper since you'd be guaranteed to actually receive hardware.

I hope this was helpful.
