Title: cheap bitcoin miner hw from the china crackdown? any deals out there? Post by: btc-room101 on June 22, 2021, 08:13:30 AM I get kids asking me here in asia, if anybody is selling, IMHO I say no, because I think they're just moving out of certain regions of china, boxing the equipment and finding a new home,
Trouble in recent years is everybody was mining in one place, where they had cheap coal, the water is real low, so hydro ain't avail anymore cheap Anybody see anything? So I can tell these kids? Sure I can go on alibaba.com and there is a ton of 'used crap' like 5+ year old s-12's that do 20th, but generally the stuff is smoked out, and 90% of the time it never ship's and alibaba still gets paid, whether it ships or not, or even if it gets shipped its usually not what was described an return shipping costs more than it cost to buy in the first place, and then they just deny they ever got it back, virtually impossible to 'correct' Title: Re: cheap bitcoin miner hw from the china crackdown? any deals out there?

Mining gear prices did drop compared to say 3 months ago when bitcoin was at 60k and mining was ok in China, but nothing too crazy, S19 pro still trades between 8-9k in China, used S9s are back above $200 (most clean gears will be in the 250-300 dollar range), Used M20s are 3k each, M21s is anywhere between 2 to 2.5k depending on the hashrate, so if your "kids" can pay these prices, they can buy all the gears they want.

I agree, its all FUD, I'm here in ASIA, and I see no deals, on anything, even old S12's are still selling top $$$ BTC miners are the golden-goose, nobody gives it away cheap, u have a golden-goose you take it home and lay golden eggs. |
