Introduction

CRYPTOWARE LTD is a dedicated supplier of hardware and accessories for the mining of crypto currencies such as Bitcoin and Litecoin. Incorporated in the UK, CRYPTOWARE offers a range of products which address a wide range of mining applications. The company sources its products from reliable manufacturers around the globe. Unlike many competitors, CRYPTOWARE holds the bulk of products in stock allowing for swift delivery to fulfil customer orders.  In instances where pre order or drop shipment is required the delivery status is highlighted on our website.

Successful mining requires accessories which support mining hardware. CRYPTOWARE is a one stop shop which gives consumers the ability to access a range of accessories required in the configuration of select miners. Even the affordable Asic USB can be run off USB hubs which accommodate multiple units.
CRYPTOWARE believes that Bitcoin mining is in its infancy and the industry is poised for growth. The company believes that the market price for Bitcoin may gyrate during this period of price discovery but the underlying scarcity inherent in the design of Bitcoin speaks to one attribute of inherent value which the company believes will continue to support higher valuations. The increasing popularity of using crpto currencies to fund online transactions absent transaction fees is also a powerful attribute of this medium of exchange. Today’s miner has an opportunity to build a position in the crypto currency of interest using the powerful hashing capacity of CRYPTOWARE'S mining hardware. We intend to be at the forefront of new mining hardware launches  and expect to be involved in new releases of hardware scheduled for release in 2014.
The CRYPTOWARE website displays the Operating Manuals for each miner on offer. However, should a customer encounter difficulties in configuring a particular miner, the company offers customer support so that you can begin hashing.  
CRYPTOWARE looks forward to fulfilling your mining hardware needs.

misc hardware only? strictly a resell gig?

reserved

Yes we only resell

Thank you Bitwhizz, for the introduction  :)

We are currently focused on reselling mining hardware and other related items in order to meet the growing demand in the UK and Europe. Long term however, we would love to expand the range of available products and become a trusted and reliable place for Bitcoiners to spend their coins. If anyone has any suggestions for things that they would like to be able to buy using BTC, please feel free to post here or drop us a message - If we get enough requests for something that we feel fits in alongside our product range, we will definitely try our best to add it to the inventory!


We are both very excited about this venture, and we look forward to hearing from you and answering any questions you might have.

 ;D  ;D  ;D

Very happy customer here - can recommend cryptoware.

user otsaku praising them as legit has registred on 03-Dec-2013

hmmmmmm...

Think you might need to do a bit more snooping than registration dates, to validate your suspicions...

so everything on your website is instock and can be posted out next day?

I was just posting a quick finding and expressing that it made me think about it..
No validation of any concerns or suspicions for sure, but an interesting coincidence you have to admit.

In order to prove that you are not a puppet and this company is real, you could post some pictures, stats, etc of your purchased hardware. And answer questions like:
When did you discover their offer and how ?
When did you order from them ?
When did it arrive?

The company itself could post infos about ppl involved, pictures of their storage, offices, offer an open-day, etc.


Please notice I do not really care whether it's legit or scam.
No need to convince me of anything as I'm sticking with KnCMiner.

I ordered 2 antminers, order was received here in Denmark 5 days later and to my surprise there were 3 antminers.

Contacted Cryptoware and was told I could keep the extra Antminer free of charge.

I have now ordered 4 red furys.


Maybe there are a lot of scammers out there but it has almost become a sport to see who can be the first to shout SCAM!

If I'm treated decently I make sure other people know about it and vice versa. Getting a free unit of anything is always a nice experience and deserves to be shared, especially when a new company in the bitcoin world is trying to build a reputation.

I choose trust before suspicion.  

Just wondering why you would spend £5000 on 2 ANTMiners when you would have saved nearly £2000 buying them directly from sushi or one of the official resellers?

That is our aim. However, due to high demand we cannot guarantee that we will always have stock for next day shipping. If you want to double check before placing your order, please email cryptowareteam@gmail.com

Price is due to be lowered. We have been very busy with the launch! The first units we ordered from BITMAIN cost us 4.25 BTC each, when BTC was over $1000

The problem is all you are is a reseller. There is nothing we can't just get cheaper directly from manufacturers.

We are predominantly a reseller at this stage, yes. We want to cater to the market who may not be as comfortable with obtaining a large amount of Bitcoins and then sending them to a foreign country. We also try to keep things in stock for immediate or next day shipping.

But for those of you who prefer to buy your hardware directly, we also want to build up an inventory of other things which Bitcoiners are likely to want, so that you can spend your mined coins directly with us. Unfortunately at this stage, there still aren't nearly as many places in the UK to spend BTC as we would like, so we're trying to change that. Post any suggestions here!

Received my four red furys last week. Buggers to get working but they are working now.


And for the curious; living in Denmark and shopping outside of the EU is expensive.

When importing from outside of the EU you have to pay import tax and vat.

Though there doesn't seem to be a set formular in practice ( I have varying amounts on identical shipments), the rule is that you pay 15 - 25% for import and then 25% vat.

So buying a nice cheap miner from the US or China can incur an extra charge from 37% upwards.

I've done business with people in Denmark who have paid 180% on imports.

Great system that helps pay for all the schools, hospitals and nursing homes they are closing down.


That aside, still a satisfied customer.

So you sold them at a loss?  :-X

Are you going to lower the price now? They are 2.2BTC and the exchange rate is around 550 so they shouldn't cost you more than £1250

And as you know (unlike the other guy) there is no import duty on computer parts into the EU or UK

Also I am sure that you would get a discount from them as an official reseller so your markup is covered, so thats £1500 after tax, but no you are not doing the VAT thing so they are being shipped direct from China to the customer.. so I shouldn't pay much more than 10% or so than buying direct from www.bitmaintech.com, 10% is reasonable given the amount of work and effort you guys have put into the web site :)

i contacted this guy wrt visiting him and received multiple borderline abusive posts back.

tbh i wouldn't touch him or his buy 2 get 1 free bullshit..

but im a bit jaded by all the b.s. artists among us, so call me names

your antminer is the equiv of 4.5 btc if priced at 800 usd per.  I could probably do what you're doing right now with my arsenal of hw running...how much would you offer me for a Gen1 batch 2 avalon at 80 GH?  I'd take 1800 GBP for it you could sell it for 2100 GBP.  I'll even cover shipping to you.

Edgar is offended that i didn't want to pay for his trip to the UK, to verify the legitimacy of this company

Yes, there were some units which we took a loss on. Its part of the business we're in. Yes we are VAT registered and no we don't get units shipped from China to the customer.

Whilst googling, saw this thread with lots of people slating Cryptoware for various reasons so thought I'd step in and say I've personally bought 3 U1 Antminers without any problems at all, most were delivered the next day. Several of my friends have also bought U1's and Red Fury's here in the UK for very decent prices and with very good service, communication and tracking numbers when requested, absolutely no reason to complain at all, and we look forward to dealing with Cryptoware more in the future! Here's mine and my friend's humble farm consisting entirely of miners bought from Cryptoware, been running a week now, several more miners in the post already! So stop being so mean everyone!

Thanks for the review, RoguePlank!

Really??

what compelled you to lie about that?

and now that its 100% clear that you lie and are therefore a liar, what else have you decided to lie about?

Is tirapon aware of your dishonesty?

Is he ok with it?

Hi edgar.

What seems to be the issue? There has obviously been a breakdown in communication between the 3 of us. At CRYPTOWARE we endeavour to provide excellent customer service, of course occasionally mistakes happen, as we are all human, but in such situations we would generally do our best to make things right. Lets see if we can sort this out here.

Hi Edgar

I don't really want to get into an argument over this, as its quite petty. I am more than happy to share the messages we exchanged for others to view, as I am not lying about anything nor being dishonest.


To which I responded:



I do not think this was rude, and I'm sorry if you were offended. We will not, however, be able to pay for your expenses to come and verify our existence.

I don't really see any dishonesty from Bitwhizz here.  ???

meh, posted a longer reply but it failed so....

didnt ask for nor expect a funded trip to the uk

i reside in asia and was referring to a trip to china.

good luck with whatever you're doing (unless its dishonest)

edgar you sound like a mug. cryptoware offer a top notch service for us customers in the UK and beyond!

No a mug is someone who pays £1150 for a product that costs £520 inc VAT and delivery from the manufacturer.

Taxes (in the EU) and business over head costs does inflate the price, but we are a EU based company where customers can come back too
 
We have revised the pricing of the S1, thank you for the pointing that out
