Title: iBelink DM11G - Group Buy - Cancelled
Post by: kilo17 on May 02, 2017, 07:03:39 PM
Obviously I have issues with the other group buy and so do my friends that were involved with them as well.  I will lay this out very simple.

I have a contract to purchase 100 units and our group was at 80 units.  We have changed our mind about taking the entire risk with $500,000.

If the community wants to purchase 50+ units then we will proceed with the order and purchase the other 50 units.  Here is what would be needed for that to happen.

1 - Someone like philipma1957 would need to be involved as escrow.

2 - Escrow would need to have the entire amount for 50+ units in his hand by Friday.  

3 - Escrow would be sending the money directly to the manufacturer.  50% on Friday and the balance when the miners are going to ship.

4 - The cost per unit would be $5700.  That breaks down to $5000/unit.  $300 to cover shipping to the USA and from our data center to the buyer.  $300 for us for our time and $100 for escrow.

5 - The units would be shipped to our data center and then shipped out within 48 hours of arrival.  Any shipping costs above $300 would be paid by the buyer BEFORE shipping.

6 - We would not be held responsible for the units until they arrive to us from the manufacturer.

7 - Names and addresses would need to be in BOTH my hands and escrows hands when payment is made.  

NO EXCEPTIONS TO THE ABOVE - I do not want to be involved in the handling of the money.  There is always potential for things to not work out with the manufacturer like delays, inability to produce the item etc.  Neither escrow or our group are responsible for that, the buyer will assume ALL of those risks.

I think that covers it.   If 50+ units are not 100% paid for by Friday the deal will be canceled and money refunded to the buyers.

Our group is 5 guys and if someone from our group backs out then it is possible the deal would not go through as well.  Although unlikely.

Edited to add the following:
Wire transfer to escrow would be the most appropriate to avoid any problems with exchange rates on bitcoin, dash etc

- We could potentially do bitcoin but we would need an agreement of sorts with escrow

Edited again to add the following:
I WILL NOT BE COLLECTING ANY MONEY AT ANYTIME.  ANYONE ASKING FOR MONEY OR BITCOIN IS A SCAMMER

It would be 100% to escrow and then escrow would send the other 50% at shipping time.  That avoids trying to collect money from 50+ people 2-3 months from now.  It would suck if the miners are ready and a bunch of people have not paid the second portion.

Why are these purchasing contracts for these so short on time?

From what I know the manufacturer is ready to start the production of units and have given any Batch 1 customers a deadline to show up in Beijing in person and sign contracts.

From what I know the manufacturer is ready to start the production of units and have given any Batch 1 customers a deadline to show up in Beijing in person and sign contracts.

There are several groups that are buying miners from the first production batch. The terms are the same for all groups, and one of the requirements is 100 units minimum order quantity. That's it.

I want to say 1 tentatively for me - the challenge I have right now is I just made some large purchases and to do a wire transfer of that much cash is a bit more difficult than transferring that amount of crypto.

I suppose this would be up to what payment methods that the manufacturer supports and the person doing escrow is willing to handle.

If the person doing escrow can't do wire transfer that would rule them out.

Only way would be to liquidate the BTC @ market price instantly on receipt OR send 100% of payment up-front to iBelink for them to liquidate. 'Playing the market' with $500k (Leaving it in Crypto, while purchasing a fiat denominated product) makes it something different entirely.

Correct, also all the buyers need to be protected from fluctuations in crypto as pointed out.  That is why I suggest Wire but ultimately escrow can make that decision with the community if this comes together.

I want to be 100% transparent.  As per the OP I have offered philipma1957 $100/unit or $5000 to do the escrow service for this deal.  If he accepts he will post here himself.  DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY OR BITCOIN TO ME OR ANYONE ELSE.  If you receive any correspondence asking for money it is a  scammer

Prefer Wire, as I don't have 4 BTC handy currently. Localbitcoins takes a while to convert... Would need some advance warning if I had to do BTC by Friday...
I might be able to swing 2 rigs though, wife will kill me, but if I can get ROI fairly quickly, perhaps I will be out of the doghouse...

Just guessing here, but my bet is that we have over 50, and there will have to be a queue of buyers for any rigs which don't get paid for from the first-50. They will have to jump in quickly to fill any gaps.
Perhaps an spreadsheet with the 50 slots filled in the the same order as paid? Refund anyone who's on the outside looking in? IDK...

Well here are the phases I see.

Phase 1 -- we have to identify a willing escrow account holder who can manage wire transfers. I don't know how many out there willing to escrow $285K in USD in a bank account somewhere. That shit could throw all kinds of IRS flags later on not to mention be an epic test of the escrow account holders trustworthiness

Phase 2 -- Identify 50 people to make the purchase

Phase 3 -- Get those 50 people to pay the escrow account holder on time, this means they'd have to make their payments by Thursday to clear by Friday most likely

Phase 4 -- Escrow account holder pays $125k to the manufacturer on Friday, sits on the rest until shipment.

I don't know about you but I think the biggest hinge here is the escrow account holder. Second being payment on time.

I have some room personally to pickup extra units. I simply don't want to over commit to something that is 2+ months out in time but rather only book what I am 100% certain that I can pay for. That said, from the forum response to the miner so far it would seem exceptionally unlikely that it would be hard to resell a unit or two if needed to cover any 'late dropouts'.

It would be 100% to escrow and then escrow would send the other 50% at shipping time.  That avoids trying to collect money from 50+ people 2-3 months from now.  It would suck if the miners are ready and a bunch of people have not paid the second portion.

Sounds reasonable, thanks for the concise answer.  Put me down for 1.

Just so everyone is aware, i've been monitoring the miner at the pool and the hashrate has dropped today to 7.2-7.5 ghs, its been like this for the last 3-4 hours.
Right now its currently hashrate is @ 7.31 GH/s, something to watch for! ::)

Just so everyone is aware, i've been monitoring the miner at the pool and the hashrate has dropped today to 7.2-7.5 ghs, its been like this for the last 3-4 hours.
Right now its currently hashrate is @ 7.31 GH/s, something to watch for! ::)
http://prnt.sc/f3f1nn


1 of the 4 boards died/turned off maybe? Does look odd. At least we know iBeLink made a similar, yet slower miner last year so that makes it a bit less likely that this one is iffy

  Just got home from a real world event. (Funeral)
 Jeese 500,000   my gut says do this but  let me think this over and get more details  as that  is 10x  what I have ever held or done.

At kilo17  please pm some extra info.

As to how the seller/builder wants payment sent to their company.

No promises as to me doing this  as it is quite  a bit of  $$$

Taking my wife and son out.  I will PM the actual contract to you as well as additional info.  You would only need to do the community side for a total of 50 units or $250,000.   We will handle the other 50 from our side.  

Sorry about your loss. :'(

You are the most trustworthy person on the forum and I have complete faith and trust.

Can you elaborate on why the Friday deadline?

Why are these purchasing contracts for these so short on time?

From what I know the manufacturer is ready to start the production of units and have given any Batch 1 customers a deadline to show up in Beijing in person and sign contracts.

There are several groups that are buying miners from the first production batch. The terms are the same for all groups, and one of the requirements is 100 units minimum order quantity. That's it.

If there are several groups and the minimum is 100 units, imagine the nuclear difficulty that it's going have on DASH.

Network hashrate for DASH is about 3TH, so if each iBelink DM11G does 10GH x 100 units = 1TH x 2 Group Buys = 2TH.

So that is more than half of the network hash added that is going be online. Anyone know how to calculate profits with the difficulty when that much is added? Lol

It seems pretty unrealistic to me that with current calculations, it says ROI is 30 days or less even at 0.30c kilowatt.

On that note, I'm down for this unicorn ride. Count me in as 1 if only philipma1957 is escrow, I trust him with my money. Did group buys with him before. I can only send bank wire. Hope you got a good tax accountant philipma1957, lol. Let me think for now. LOL

Damn, i need to see here how liquid i am before i can commit, but i just wanna say i think the way your handling this is much more honest and that users will be in better hands with you (and Phil IF he holds the money)
its a bit concerning personally i have not seen the pool info live over around 8GH, but damn, if they announced "8GH 760 watts" i would STILL be as interested.
why no contact on the forum from them? maybe their account got hacked in one of the old database robberies and they ashamed to/cant recover it haha

Forgot to mention, is anyone from the group going to see the actual product in person to verify? None of the videos show that it is getting a constant 10+ GH or am I not seeing it somewhere and just not spikes?

Edit: Originally the Baikal only did x11 also, and then later, it was able to do X11, X13, X14, X15, Qubit, Quark through an update. Would this iBelink DM11G be able to achieve the same thing? Would hate that it's only limited to just 1 algorithm.

So far watching this miner online it is not hashing anywhere near the advertised 10.8gh.  http://106.120.52.201:7903/static/

Also this isn't iBelink's first miner.  They had a previous model that only supported X11 and that has not changed.  Baikal is just several steps ahead of the iBelink folks in their miner development.  So I don't know that I would count on the iBelink supporting additional protocols.

You are welcome- btw- The $300/unit that is shown for me will remain in escrow until all units are received by the buyers.  It will also be used to cover any expenses like taxes, duties etc.  and maybe a few dollars left over.

I know they were having software issues.  Any concerns will be addressed PRIOR to money being transferred.  I will address those with the manufacturer after we hit the 50 unit mark

I read both threads just now. I commented that I may do the escrow on kilo17's thread before I realized this thread was first.
I was away from home Sunday Monday Tuesday attending an Aunt's funeral.

Okay passing no judgement on bittawm or kilo17

Passing no judgement on the builder.

 Just doing  math  I need an answer to one Question


pretend I pay this friday 5th of may 6700 here.

pretend I pay this friday 5th of may 2500 to kilo17 escrow and then 2500 when item ships.

I need to know lead time  from payment this 5th of may to ship time  are we at a lead-time of 60 days July 5th  or 75 days July 20th  what is that promised time. for ship.

note I am posting this in kilo's thread.

Right now I see 2 people I like and have done deals with good deals.
I see 2 people fighting.

all due to a builder that is asking for a lot of  $$$ upfront.

I don't like to see this.

I don't like seeing us played against on another.

So could some one give me promised date for shipping.

I believe ship dates are prior to July 31.  All of the details are in the contract that I would like to send you to look at (PM sent  ;)) - I will post all the details if you accept being the Escrow.  Without you there really is not much reason to proceed because I am not comfortable with anyone else.

I've sent an e-mail to the manufactory and address the following topics below.
If they respond i will post it here.

Hi
I have been thinking about a proposal for you to make the mining community.
There has been a lot of speculation regarding your product, trust issues with your company and all.
I think the main concern of everyone that wants to buy your product are:

1-) Is the machine really able to do 10ghs?
2-) Who is the manufactory?
3-) Can we see credentials for the factory?
4-) Who is the CEO and what are his credentials?
5-) Why only sell in lots of 100 and require immediate payment?

Here are my suggestions to you

1- I've seen video of the machine working, i would suggest you setup a time and date and do a live feed, where people can ask questions and the machine be fully tested, that would solve trust issues with the product.

2-) I would suggest you put up your company information, certifications and all so people can see you have a real and trusted company.

3-) Allow an audit so we everyone can know from a third-party company that you have capability of producing these machines.

4-) I've seen some linkedin accounts linked to your name, if it's you I think people would know you are a trusted person because you have worked in big companies before.

5-) Looks like all buyers that signed or wanted to sign contract with you, most of them don't have funds to back it up by themselves, you are selling at 4999 and people are trying to sell at 6750 7500 so they have enough funds to pay you. This has caused MAJOR conflict with the community.
I would think would be MUCH MUCH easier if you opened for single orders or at least lower the minimum to 2-5 units and charged a higher price, this way people would be able to purchase directly from you and not having to go thru the hassle of buying from resellers.

I'm sure if you can take care of those 5 topics above, things will go much smooth and everyone will be happy.
You can start production on the machine.
People can buy your product at reasonable price and not having to worry about it.

In the end EVERYONE IS HAPPY!!!

Well, their response was pretty damn quick.
I quote below

Thank you for your suggestions. We will address all those concerns when it comes that point. We will open our official web sales to address smaller orders, which is only a matter of time. I hope everyone could wait until we are ready. At this age of information transparency, if anyone tries to just reselling with huge profits without any value added service, I think the chance is pretty small.

Can you elaborate on why the Friday deadline?

Why are these purchasing contracts for these so short on time?

From what I know the manufacturer is ready to start the production of units and have given any Batch 1 customers a deadline to show up in Beijing in person and sign contracts.

There are several groups that are buying miners from the first production batch. The terms are the same for all groups, and one of the requirements is 100 units minimum order quantity. That's it.

If there are several groups and the minimum is 100 units, imagine the nuclear difficulty that it's going have on DASH.

Network hashrate for DASH is about 3TH, so if each iBelink DM11G does 10GH x 100 units = 1TH x 2 Group Buys = 2TH.

So that is more than half of the network hash added that is going be online. Anyone know how to calculate profits with the difficulty when that much is added? Lol

It seems pretty unrealistic to me that with current calculations, it says ROI is 30 days or less even at 0.30c kilowatt.

On that note, I'm down for this unicorn ride. Count me in as 1 if only philipma1957 is escrow, I trust him with my money. Did group buys with him before. I can only send bank wire. Hope you got a good tax accountant philipma1957, lol. Let me think for now. LOL

Difficulty is going to skyrocket if 500+ of these units go online. Which will in turn hurt the profitability as time goes on, thats crypto though.

Kilo: I may be down for one of these be right now I'm on the no side. Seems like the only proof we have is one video and tracking hashrate that seems to be dropping or not maintaining the 10GH rating. Having escrow through phil is great and I 100% trust you and the other guys in the group buy, I'm just a little afraid of vaporwaring $5700 down the drain. Is there anything else out there to give a little more confidence in iBelink?

This is how I understand it as well, which makes it much more appealing than other group buy options.  If it doesn't pan out, at least escrow will send us our remaining 50% back.

LOL, too good to be true.

Kilo, I just made some calculation and seems that this is very profitable based on calculation here: https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/dash?HashingPower=10.8&HashingUnit=GH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=850&CostPerkWh=

This is ROI within a month (by not calculation the electricity), or there is a mistake here?

If in any case there is only one left then I will re-think and maybe order one.

If iBelink really is building and shipping 3000 units you can throw out all all the calculations for ROI.  Diff is going to the moon, profitability is going to crash.  The only thing you can do is guesstimate what might happen.  

If we were to get some of the first units and started mining like crazy we might see an ROI in 6-8mths IF we are lucky.  I suspect it will quickly go out beyond a year and will be like trying to mine BTC.  Only shot is to get one of these early.  If you pick up one later the chances of ROI look pretty grim.  

Of course that all assumes that these units hash at the advertised rate, which so far the limited look at the one that was online was quite a ways off from the advertised rate.  I am not so sure this thing is ready for prime time.  I would like to see some more data from the miner.

I didn't think about hash difficulty that would be increased automatically because of this, and it's absurd for them to sell these asics if the ROI is 1 month.

If it becames like mining bitcoin then dash mining would be dropped a bit and especially from those that have mining for a long time with small asics.

Of course the diff will get higher.
More miners = higher difficulty=tougher to ROI.It applies to all the cryptocurrency out there.

This is how I feel as well.  So many users wanting miners on both group buys have been low post accounts. I would love a few of these miners I just don't know how I feel about the situations.  :-\

I have reason to believe some of the established accounts that are heavily active in the marketplace threads are the same individual, manipulating other members, cornering the market on collectibles, etc

I guess it may not matter for this group buy since Phil has decided not to escrow.  But probably still a good idea for the other group buy to know who is who...  We haven't heard from Kilo yet, but I can't imagine this purchase can go forward without Phil.

I have corresponded with Philip and under these circumstances I think it would be best to not hold this Group Buy.  This is for a number of reasons but suffice it to say that it is to risky for all parties involved.  I have a great history doing Group Buys as well as other transactions with philipma1957 and take his advice seriously. 

Good luck to those looking to purchase the miner in getting one safely.  I hope it turns out well for everyone.

I did a long hard look at this and the minimum 90 days from payment to shipping seems to make it a deal breaker.

I went in the direction of some more nvidia gpus. I am close to 8000 h and will soon be at 8700 then 9100h.

I independently calculated ROI to be the same two days ago and based on this amazing return I concluded that the manufacturers must have rocks in their head to sell devices that pay back in perhaps 15 days if only their costs were involved, don't need to add their profit to that calc.
Why the hell would you sell miners that you would be better off keeping with those sorts of returns. Are they really trying to be that kind to the world ?

Good luck !

This is why at the very least there will be a delay shipping these miners... You know the manufacturer needs to make sure that you don't get a bad miner so they will have to do some "burn in tests" for you just to be sure... May delay shipment 30 days or more... But your miner will be assured to not be DOA! LOL

These things never ship on time if they ship at all.  So it will be fun watching what happens to those who jump in on the preorder.  And you can't rule Baikal and others out either.  So it will be fun to watch.

I think I am going to take Phil's advise and mine some more GPU's and set aside a little to invest in the next wave if it is still profitable to even do so.   ;D

dear phil,

sorry to ask this OOT question.
but why choose nvidia gpus over the amd like rx470s?
afaik rx series has better speed and thus better ROI.

If you check out some of Phil's threads you will see he has quite a farm going.  He has AMD rigs, ASIC miners, but recently started jumping into the Nvidia mining.  So he has all of the bases covered!   ;D  Great reading and a good education for anyone just getting into mining.  Phil's got a solar farm thing going on as well.  Just amazing fun stuff.

basically I am diverse.

I have stable power in the solar farm

my limits are not as much power as I want.  heat control and   

 asic gear sucks

 s-9's break - can not down clock any more.  need to for heat issues .
r-4's  break---- I  don't need to down clock but both that I have have issues running  in proper temps with proper power.
avalon's are great  they  just run but they burn power.
 I could not get new x11 gear,
l3 was held up by bitmain

this leaves nvidia and or amd.gpus
I can down clock and I have the ability to sell gear to gamers - the nvidia or miners the amd.
once you have 11 mobos paid off you can pick and choose the gpu's to use.
