Title: Trusted ASIC suppliers Post by: DaMMMM on March 19, 2021, 03:53:17 PM Hi Guys,
First time posting here but enjoying the forum a while now. I've been GPU mining for a while and wanted to expand the mining with some ASIC action. This brings me in a swarm of fraudulent websites claiming to be manufacturers themselves or certified resellers. I'm sure this has come up many times but is there an actual 'Trusted suppliers' list or something like that on this forum? If so, apologies in advance. Cheers all, keep on mining!

The most reliable seller is the one from whom you can check the ASIC on the spot and pay money. Do not settle for prepayment when buying ASICs from unknown sellers. And it is probably safer to buy video cards in stores in your city.

Use an escrow service for your purchase if possible, or use a credit card with fraud protection like you would for any other large purchase on credit.

1. Bitmain -----> https://www.bitmain.com 2. Innosilicon -----> http://www.innosilicon.com 3. Canaan -----> https://canaan.io 4. MicroBT -----> http://www.microbt.com Please keep an eye on the URL. So many scammers and phishing sites in the mining equipment manufacturer and supplier world.

I'm thinking about Innosilicon for some time now and they seem to have a solid reputation, communication isn't bad with them so far as well. If someone has experience with Innosilicon and willing to share, please do. I feel when it's all to shaky and expensive I'll just try to get a hold of a bunch of the nVidia CMP cards that are coming out soon.

True...but are any of them going to be in line to get any ASIC chips in the next year. I think I read that TSMC from Taiwan DID have 28% of chips in the world share in making such manufactured....and is still going full out. Heck, perhaps their share is rising. I know that Bitmain uses TSMC chips and was just accused of trying to 'poach' top engineers from TCMC in mass. https://wccftech.com/19-taiwanese-chip-engineers-detained-for-working-for-chinese-front-company/ The only way that would make sense is IF Bitmain planned to make its OWN ASIC mnfg plant in some manner...sounds dubious...but getting the technical folks to do such would only mean you are planning on somehow making ASIC chips ..or in this case, AI chips also. Heck, the trusted ASIC makers are fine, but small potatoes to places like TSMC in the realm of chip massive runs. Thus ASIC chips may be 'last' to recover. There may just plain not be any equipment this year, no matter what Bitmain says about pre-order dates...and unsure about the other ASIC makers on your above list are not in the same boat. Anyway, just an aside, on IF the legit boys/girls in the above ASIC makers list, can't get ASIC chips, then I'd be dubious indeed of anyplace claiming ASIC machines that are not on the above list being legit.

Brad Good point. I've asked both Innosilicon and Goldshell on possible delays in shipments, they say it's indeed a challenge but that they can deliver as promissed. It's pretty much all you can do right now but it's hard to go by someones word in these cases. |
