Its not really that much new, it was announced one day later after Bitmain has announce their A3 miner, something seems fishy, like they are trying to compete with them...

I think they have a hidden connection.  And are far more related to each other then we know.


But that is my own conspiracy theory. Grin

Well, to make it more interesting, I bet there is some kind of a triangle connection between Halong-Innosilicon-Bitmain   Cheesy

Gotta love them consiparicy theories.

But seriously, I think Inno is somehow involved in this Dragonmint project.

Kind of a Bermuda Triangle but  based in Asia instead.  Cool

Who in their right mind would conduct business under a sole proprietorship when they are the sole distributor of a major manufacturer? They would be personally held liable for any issues if it came to court and put all their personal possessions at risk. Your presumptions on my lack of knowledge hold no water here. I asked for a tax I’d state and federal under the presumption they were not dumb enough to operate under a sole proprietorship. Also if you look at my email I asked both Scott and Yoshi about the ids.


Once again  here is a very large sole proprietorship

https://www.reference.com/business-finance/famous-sole-proprietors-eb31c3cfaaf62fe3


The problem is I do have an IRS background and I am certain that you do not know much  about what you are saying here.

While I do.  Just say Phil I might be right  but I have to say you could be correct and my conversation with them  does not mean for sure I am correct they are scamming.



I will say exactly  this I don't think they are scamming  and  I will find out in Late March/ early April what is true.

There's no doubt that one could operate as a sole proprietorship legally and not want to divulge their SSN in the US, but if they were making any kind of decent profits , would they not have to pay the additional 15% self employment tax on top of income taxes (fed and state) ?   Why would anyone do this and give up 15% of their profits?


well  at one time  there was a cap  off the top of my head say 175,000  and  the 15%  is really 7.5 + 7.5

since you pay 7.5 with a salary.  So 84 lumber was paying  and extra 7.5 on  say 175,000 or 13,125  extra  which is partially deducted some times.

I think  he feels the total control is worth it.

Also  as a schedule c filer my self that  is primarily doing sales  you can shift tax burden forward.

Lets say it was Jan 1 2017  and I have 10,000 in ending inventory  when coins went mad last fall.  and I made more mining then selling for s short time Nov + Dec.  I can decide  to  push all profits into inventory  and I did purchase 40-50 k in gear in those 2 months.

So when my  tax year ended in dec 2017  my ending inventory  for jan 2018  was  close to 60 k.  vs 10 k   So I shifted profits legally from last year to this year.  I sold a lot of gear in January 2018  .  So the tax return will not be due until april 2019 rather then april 2018.

All legal.


   Yoshi  is me at a bigger scale so I would imagine he could be doing this.  Also he does have a Japanese connection.  I do not know  enough about his  passport etc to say  what he does  about taxes and my  tax work  was collection for the IRS.  My wife did individual returns as did my mom.  My mom retired in 1987  my wife retired a few years ago.


Now does all this mean  this is not a scam  nope it could be.

This is why I lie in wait  for late March  to see if Yoshi does deliver what he promised to me.
I hope it is good gear.  As  bitmain has tired me out a lot.

 I do more GPUS  by far then asics  as I get decent service. From them.

 The only reason I still have any asics is Yoshi  more then any other reason.

If you are in the market for 1600 watt PSU, the Bitmain APW3++ PSUs are available on Amazon.  And here is the interesting thing: you can buy a 4 year warranty for... $4.15, or a $1 a year to insure your PSU.

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B075QN6V9W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Normally, these aftermarket warranties are a rip-off.  But I like the this one.    Smiley

Not accurate so I deleted it

prices are based on gear price so for the antminer psu it costs   more like 16-18 bucks not 4

Okay to be clear  I deleted the post because it reads the warranty is only$4.15

When I check the link and the warranty price I got $16.00

I believe the warranty is based on price of gear.  So it may have erred and not r0mi  but as far as I can tell the 4 year warranty will cost about $16 not $4.
21309  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 13 x GTX 1060 PSU Advice on: February 03, 2018, 05:36:07 PM
Hello everyone , the question is simple . I am planning to build a 13 GPU with 13xGTX 1060 . What PSU will you recommend?

2 x 750W will be fine ? or 2 x 1000w?

Thanks

I own one  so  I can tell you  you need 26 pcie cables and about 1600 watts of power.

2 of these  have 7 + 8 = 15 jacks  and each can hold this cable

http://www.corsair.com/en-us/type-3-flat-black-ribbon-cable-pcie-6-2-pin-dual-connectors-compatible-with-all-type-3-pin-out-psu

so you could do up to 15 gpus

but the psu is expensive

All this talk about myrig/bitmainwarranty having been in business for years and therefore lending credence to this miner....

For those who have been around a while, this reminds me of minersource, they too were in business a long time both as resellers and for hosting miners and had an excellent reputation, and then they went rogue.

I stick to my original assessment, the miniscule gains that this miner may offer over bitmain equipment, are not sufficient for the risk that it's not legit / delayed / made obsolete by a new Bitmain miner.

It is why  I have always said wait do not open your wallets.

My birthday was lasr week I am 61  the single biggest thing I learned  by sticking around for a decent amount of years is don't rush to be first in line.

Somewhere I mentioned in this 60 page thread that by the time this drops  to ship bitmain may issue  a 22th 1400 watt miner.

I have purchased

5 s-9s
1 pangolian
35 1080tis
12 1070tis
8  moonlander usb sticks
and the 13 card beast miner from autominer.at

about 40000 in gear.  Since the Black Friday sale when this offered.

I sold ⅔ of that gear gor 30k and mined 15000 in coin. 

getting 45000 which is 5000 profit.

I have 1 ⅔ s-9s
18 1080tis
8 moonlander sticks

And the people that purchased  on black friday have zero.

I am going to sell 1 s-9  adding to the 5000 profit  and roll that into my late march purchase of this.

It is the major reason I kept an eye out on this thread. Since it is efficient  only once it mines for me.

It looks like any of the meters with the 'Intertek' branding on the back works, while the other ones don't.


All of my p4460.01 meters were bought within the past year from various places, all have the intertek branding on them and read 240v accurately.



And this thread has solved the 240 volt meter issues I had.  You were very helpful thanks.
21314  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: How to get a 220-240 k-watt-meter in the usa on: February 03, 2018, 05:03:16 AM
So the p4400 doesn't work and the p4460 does, Undecided

no really weird

but I found all three usa ones.

one is model p3 4400  it does not work

one is model p3 4400.01 it works a little low but works.

I found an intek  looks just like the UK model but usa plugs and it is spot on

I am uploading 2nd video.

So it shows us some usa work some don't.


Your video will be live at: https://youtu.be/qmPwbXRORaA

so testing  shows this to work best


https://www.amazon.com/Voltage-Display-Monitor-Analyzer-Electricity/dp/B0755FFLP1/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_4?

within ½ volt of my UK model and of my DMM

A good money saver for all to know that want to measure 240 volts.

Okay first video up. Your video will be live at: https://youtu.be/ytQZXXviQZw


I found a second usa meter  same label  it does  240 volts and 120 volts

wait for second video
21316  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: How to get a 220-240 k-watt-meter in the usa on: February 03, 2018, 04:30:10 AM
Standard USA spec Kill-A-Watts read 220v just fine. Just dont try to pull more than 8 amp through them.

They work fine on 240v up to 12+a...

Kill-a-watt's on page shows the operating range is 115v-125v:

http://www.p3international.com/products/p4400.html

I looked at all their other 'energy saver' products, none support > 130v.  Philip is on the money - plus he wouldn't have gone through all that effort to get EU ones if he could easily get US ones.

Some people are just that simple.

I have 4 p4460s that have been used for over 6 months on 240v without issue.

Post pictures when your shit burns to the ground.  Lol ... Kidding, but I'm not joking when I say that I would take Phillip's word over most people who post in this forum.


Okay. I am good but why would someone say his work?

I am looking for all my USA meters.
I have a few of them.

So far the I have from reads normal for 120 volts and reads crazy dumb numbers using 240 volts.

With no load it gets 173 volts. The Uk reads 238 .

Under load it gets more screwed up but it works fine for 120 volts.

I need to find other USA meters. I have them.

is it possible yoshi is being correct..ie....they are just acting as a 'pass thru' on this pre-order equipment that they too have pre-ordered?

then the japanese company comment reads as true? (in other words, the yoshi group is under risk as well as any others on this product)

unclear, just tossing it out there as a possiblity...in that I'VE acted as pass thru on items...on group buys that I have not had a lot to do with on

how/who/what to pay... (not a full escrow thing...more of a shipping thing)

Could be Yoshi is at risk but I have dealt with him  a long time I would think he knows the gear is real.  As to how many get built has fast they ship he could be at risk as much as anyone else.   A big concern for me is  I send 5x via paypal  on March 25  and get gear on April 3  and freaking bitmain drops a 22th unit pulling  1400 watts.

I can mitigate it since I have the solar array but it would hurt.

Here is my annoyance more clearly shown
He asks the none owner of the business the question and makes a statement that is false.

Since Yoshi may be doing a schedule c with a social security number   which he will not reveal for security issues.




21320  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: DragonMint 16TH/S halongmining.com on: February 02, 2018, 09:27:59 PM
 The problem is not that  he  did what he did. The problem is he drew erroneous conclusions about Company ID numbers .

Here is one example of why a company will not reveal it Tx ID

the  company is a sole proprietorship and the owner uses his social security number as the tx id.

My ebay business is filed with a schedule C  using my SSN  my sales here are on the same  schedule C.

I am a company  that will not give  its TX ID  out.


This is my ebay name same as here.

https://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=philipma1957

Frankly  his research only proves he has no understanding of privacy rules  that may be followed  by a company.

And as I have stated I have not spent 1 dime  on 1 unit  at this time.  As for those that have sent a lot of BTC to this company they have far more

courage then I do.

I would advise krisgt30  to not state conclusions about a company based on misunderstanding of tax laws and privacy concerns.

here is his post that makes  the conclusions :

Several screenshots incoming after speaking to Scott and Yoshi directly. This backpedaling is really bad. This is sadly a 100% confirmed scam based on the contradictory speaking and refusal of simple business information. I sent an email to Yoshi asking for the address of the Colorado warehouse and for their state and federal tax ID for that location and the email is the response I got from Yoshi.

...
