There is now pretty much only two companies that sell real miners to the public.
Bitmain and Canaan Creative.


 Actually, just Bitmain - though Canaan has announced they're working on a next-gen miner, and the Innosilicon A4 should be shipping real soon (dunno what happened to the A3 though, have heard NOTHING about that for months).

 In theory, BitFury and BW.com (LKEtc and co) could do so but they seem to be sticking with sales to "industrial" scale miners.


Canaan is selling A6's and are soon to be selling A7's to the public.

Bitfury and BW.com are only selling miners to industrial scale customers and they are also mining themselves.
Innosilicon A4 is an altcoin miner.
If we add altcoin miners into this then there is also Baikal Mini miner (X11), which I have four pcs. incoming.

I asked BW.com about the public release and at first it seemed like they were going to do it (my 1st e-mail conversation with them).
Then they suddenly cancelled and continued on the big scale road (my 2nd e-mail conversation much later after the first one).

Wow, so glad I came here first before buying....I saw the article today and was about to buy 2....


Relying solely on an online article for buying is a recipe for disaster.
Do your due diligence and go with established brands.

Exactly what I did don't you see? Wink

Always stick with trusted brands if you're buying a miner. I wouldn't even buy the first batch of a miner, you're taking a risk with even trusted brands. If this had stats like this, i doubt these guys would even be selling it. They'd be taking over the bitcoin network.

Using the Google picture search you will realise that the "miner" in picture is the same is than the Minerslab one, so definitely a scam.

See this thread about Minerslab.com https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=883534.100

Can you OP change the title to for example "THMiners is a SCAM!" before lots of people trust their money again in a scam company.
This shit has been losing people's money for too long.
yup..fixed!

Has to be a scam.  If you have a 65th miner pulling 6700 watts small in size why not just mine with it?

It earns 22.48 usd a day with 10 cent power
It earns 24.04 usd a day with  9 cent power
It earns 25.60 usd a day  with  8 cent power
It earns 27.16 usd a day  with  7 cent power
It earns 28.72  usd a day with  6 cent power
It earns 30.28 usd a day   with 5 cent power

Seems like a scam, there is no more detailed technical specifications and only one small picture.
I would wait at least that they give one miner for a trusted member here for a review and see how this company goes.
this is my opinion also..looks like a scam

a cointelegraph news article pointed them with new very powerfull mining rigs..what do you guys think?
Personally, I think it looks like a scam. The stock photo on their website looks awfully similar to some of the other 4U units that were fakes. I could be wrong, but 60TH definitely looks questionable especially being on the 20nm node at 0.102J/GH. I could be wrong though.

Correction. It is not a news article.
It is a press release. Published if you send a write up and 0.2 BTC.
