Title: Where can I buy decent miners online?
Post by: crazypaul007 on June 25, 2021, 07:43:08 AM
Not sure if I'm allowed to ask, but I'm looking to buy some more miners.

I've had a major issue with buying some S17's from Alibaba.  They were advertised with good working tests but when I received them they work for 30 minutes then the chips start failing and hashrate drops to nearly nothing.   Alibaba wouldn't accept my return and sided with the seller, so I'm $7500 out of pocket.

Is it possible to order new miners online?  I've seen a few sites online in China selling Canaan Avalon miners and showing stock, but not sure if it's a scam?

Tia, Paul

It would greatly help if you told where you are located as that makes one helluva difference...
If you are in USA the I'd recommend using Blokforge.com who does have stock of Canaan miners. They also happen to be an Authorized distributor for Canaan.

Reddit + Bitcointalk will answer to you, you just have to search and to take time to read reviews and feedbacks

We are all in the same basket

If you can casually throw $7.5k just like that, it means you are quite rich already.

I would suggest you to buy coins instead of miners unless you found a way to get free ;) electricity.

If you are going to pay for the electricity, just buy coins instead and save yourself from a headache.

I personally don't trust most traders in Alibaba. If their Trade assurance didn't even help you when discovered that the equipment was faulty and sided with the seller then it's time to completely avoid them

What site are talking about you saw selling Canaan Avalon Miners?
Be very careful, there are so many scam site pretending to be official stores of canaan.io like this one canaanavalonminers.com <<<< SCAM

You can make purchases through their official site - https://canaan.io/products/avalonminer
Email for inquiries  - Sales@canaan.io

If you are buying used miners, many of them don't transport well after a certain age.

I have been able to successfully buy both new and used miners from vendors on Alibaba.  I posted several in another thread or go to http://seaturtlemining.com and look under mining operations.  The company names are there too.

You can also try to buy directly from the manufacturer, I got T2T-26Th from Innosilicon and they showed up fine.  New ones travel better.

Bitmain has some non-BTC miners on Pre-order.  Innosilicon may have that 26Th still open. 

If BTC miners, the S19J 100Th's just came in for June and there may be some available.  Price varies when you in the secondary market especially as BTC moves up.
