If you are in Europe you can fix them at Prague, At PcPraha

https://pcpraha.cz/en/product/repair-asic-mineru-cr-bitmaim/

or website link in English https://pcpraha.cz/en/produkt/antminer-s19-s19-pro-s19j-oprava-hashboardu/
They speak English there many other languages.
They are located in central Europe. So quite fast shipping and no hassle with custom clearances.

This is for after warranty repair.

Have you actually tested them or do you work with them or what? the website seems fishy to me, they have hosting in Czech Republic for 3.4 Koruna, that's about 4 cents per kWh, last I checked the average power rate there is above 15-20 cents ,something is not adding up about a mining repair center in Europe where people hardly mine Bitcoin.

Don't get me wrong, not saying they are scammers, I am just thinking out loud.

Alpha Asic is still here DBA as Dalton Asic Repair.

Is it Alpha Asic or Dalton Asic Repair, I take it that Alpha Miner sued you for using their name? or was it a friendly change you decided to take to avoid trouble?

Quote

Remember back in 2021 when you said I was a scam.

hmm, any quotes for me saying you were a scam?

All that I remember is that back in 2011 your website had a claim that says

Quote

We offer dedicated repair technicians with over 10 years of mining and repair experience.

So you claim to have been fixing mining gears before 2011 (long before anybody made a public ASIC miner IIRC) and nobody was there to vouch for you, and I simply stated

Quote

These are serious claims that need serious proof, I can't possibly add your service to the list with little to no information that I know about you, can anyone vouch for you? if not from this forum, have you done any deals with known people on major telegram mining groups? as it stands right now, you don't seem to be trustworthy, given the number of scams you should understand why everyone here would be skeptical.

At that point, you failed to provide any evidence of trustworthiness, and thus adding you to the list would have been a great risk, furthermore, there was and (still is) another company called Alpha Miner, I contacted them and that company said they don't know you, and have nothing to do with you so that added more reasons not to trust you, I try to maintain a "safe list" and I do my best to judge repair centers at the time they request an addition, sadly, I have no crystal ball, so back in 2021 I couldn't see what would you become 2 years in the future.

So do you really think I was wrong/unfair for not trusting you 2 years ago? I would hope for an honest answer.

Since then my team has slayed in repairs and even got a site up to 99.47 up time for a local 10mw site.

Since then my team has slayed in repairs and even got a site up to 99.47 up time for a local 10mw site. $250 is our average repair cost. We were a Canaan Warranty repair center in 2022. We thrive in niche units. Seeing a lot of Ice River rigs due warranty repair costing their clients $700 to ship back to China. www.daltonasic.com

Rather like Wack-A-Mole (TM). A newb using the same dl link & referral id did the same yesterday. Betcha it's the same person... Promptly reported to mods who seem to be very fast in dealing with them - like within minutes they're gone Grin

I still remember our old moderator "frodocooper", I hardly had to report any of these spam/scam posts, he was more of a bot than human, but ya, it's great that this link got deleted within minutes despite not having a moderator on this board, keep up the good work guys, report these scums, we should also use the trust system to tag these folks, we have a few DT members and if we all work collectively by reporting and tagging them -- the mining board will be clear.

For ASIC miner repairs or fixes, it's best to reach out to the manufacturer's official service centers or authorized repair providers. Many major ASIC manufacturers offer specific repair services for their products. Additionally, online forums and communities often provide recommendations for reliable repair options.

Only if it was this simple, in many cases, you can't just count on the manufacturer-authorized guys, these cases such as but not limited to

1- When you need a single hash board fixed and the manufacturer forces you to send the whole miner.
2- Long waiting times to get a miner fixed (happens during bull markets and when Bitmain launches a shit quality series where more miners need fixing than they can fix).
3- The nearest repair center is way too far and shipping alone would cost more than fixing it locally.

And the list goes on, if mining gear manufacturers offered a close to perfect repair service, none of this would have been needed.

After it was clear there was no future and the monotony of warranty repair had worn me down, I quit ASIC Master. After the treatment I received for not spending more time on our new paying customer, there was simply no reason to stay. I decades of being an electronics technician I have never been told to stop speaking to a customer. This is when I learned what a hobby business was. Now I am a freelance ASIC repair instructor who does repair only on the side. I can be found on LinkedIn.

The writing was on the wall, you have a small company with a few repair folks, and then out of a sudden Bitmain sends out a couple of hundred thousand 17 series, 40-50% of them failed within a few weeks/months, they all needed repair at the same time, orders start coming in, you don't want to reject repair tickets, you keep bringing in more gears than you can repair, and then ka-boom.

You need up with dozen gears on the shelves, and thousands of angry clients as well as workers, a year later, that gear is worth little to nothing, no worth fixing, a complete mess created by Bitmain and made worse by all the greedy and incompetent repair centers, this isn't just ASIC Master, it's safe to assume that 90% of those repair companies made the same exact mistake.

I am also now trying out an association with Scott Offord. He has a five seat Wisconsin training center, I'll be teaching in(on site is my preference though). Also, if you have an S19 repair order with him, it will likely be me doing the work. And yes, his bots likely got him in trouble(if it was something else I'm all ears). Perhaps an admin could take a look at his account.

Good to hear you have patterned with Scott, we did all we could to lift the ban on his account, but alas, these things take forever to happen.

I’ve begun contacting and fixing our small S17 series customers.

How long have those S17 gears been sitting in ASIC Master's warehouse? also, what measures did ASIC Master take to ensure the same long waits don't happen again? gaining trust is pretty difficult.

I understand you are not the owner nor the salesperson for ASIC Master, and you are doing a great job keeping forum members up to date, I do appreciate all the work you do here.

To answer your question, I don't know. Many may have been there since before I began Feb2022, and for a year I didn't pay any attention to the S&R desk.

If you have already communicated to him, then it's all good. I won't send a PM.

You are right, I just checked and he is indeed banned on the forum, I contact him on telegram to see if he has any idea about this, I have a feeling he was not aware about the ban at all, but let's see if he wants to come back, we can help him with the ban-appeal process, I don't want to jump to any speculation but I think his appeal will have a high chance of acceptance.

How did you know he was banned? He never mentioned anything to me so I am not aware, is it possible that he copied something from his own website and was a victim to one of the "bots" that screen the forum for plagiarism? I also doubt he would copy-paste something for the sake of posting, I'll see whats up with him and if he wants to come back and is willing to go through the process of appealing.

I saw the ban tag with the help of the Bpip extension

and the profile information - https://bpip.org/Profile?id=1449095

I wanted to send him a PM asking him whether he was open to the idea of making an appeal if he felt he still wanted to be part of the forum and the ban was unfair, but I wasn't sure yet if a permanently banned account can receive PMs a well.

If you have already communicated to him, then it's all good. I won't send a PM.

For those who don't know Scott, he owns a mining-related company in the U.S, he has a great reputation in the telegram's mining community, I have know him since 2019 IIRC, glad to see him offering repair services, hopefully, we get to read some good reviews on his service in this thread soon.

I am absolutely gutted to discover that Scott's account was permanently banned in Feb just today. He seemed genuine, and his service reputation was growing in this community.

To me, he doesn't come off as someone who would practice plagiarism for financial gain. Maybe if he was banned for another form of offense

I understand we can't be added to the list without someone on the forum vouching for us, though we can provide references from past customers upon request if needed.

It's going to take some vouching to be added for sure, but it takes some pictures/videos and any other proof for members actually to trust sending their gear to you, upon checking your website, I found nothing enduring, you seem to be using the same photo (not a real photo of some ASIC miner) floating on all the different pages.

I am not trying to tell you what to do, I am not the boss here, this is just friendly advice if you want to do business in the forum, the default/common belief around here is that "everyone is a scammer until proven otherwise" so please don't take anything I or anyone else say personal.
