oh great man who used to run $99 laptops but is now a LEO - do explain how to get around tariff...

curious how do you get the tariff will be only $52? on my miner that was 1200 the tariff was close to $300 - do you get a lower rate somehow?

are you able to log into the gui?

not sure how they will issue it. I see nothing on my account as of now.

an issue I just noticed is that my miner was supposed to ship Dec 21 - Dec 31. That email they sent states my shipment date is now Jan 1st to Jan 31st...

I now have to wait 2 weeks to a month longer? Is that why they are giving me 150 credit? If so, that sucks. especially as I can order a T17 today and pay almost the exact same price and get it shipped in a week and have it before Dec 1st but the one I ordered and paid for a month ago, I may not see until Feb?

on a side note - I also got this scam email trying to sell me miners, their address was not even similar to bitmains... I hope no one fell for this email.

I got the same email - so for the T17 I ordered and paid 1075.30 for, it now shows the new price as 805 or 929.29 shipped - so I assume this means I will get a credit for 146.01 add that to the 150 coupon I have and may just buy another T17.

But I do not see the credit anywhere yet - do I have to wait for the Dec order to ship?

nice!

nice! wish I was making that big a purchase but I lack the reserves for that. after my initial purchase of quite a few miners, I can only do one or two at a time. I always recommend to use coupons if you can.  My first order I paid via bank wire --- I do not suggest that. The fees are retarded. Ever since then I paid in btc or bch. 

would you send me a miner to review and test? I would be willing to do so. I am always enthusiastic to see a possible competitor to Bitmain.

the current $150 coupons state minimum cost has to be $400

I gave no passport - Hell, I haven't had one for 20 years - since it was revoked lol

has anyone ever heard of or used honor knight miners?

I can find no prior mention of this company and/or their miners.


@OP - have you had anyone here review one of your miners? If so, who? If not, are you willing to allow someone to test one and provide a review?

i am liking the lower prices. and my T15 just sold for 960 on eBay add the coupon to that and adds up to another T17, that would put me at 3 T17's total and 2 S9's and put me around 150 TH total 5 machines pushing almost as much as when I had 13 S9's lol -- just sucks that the price for the T17 is the same price as the one I ordered a while back but have to wait till mid December for - and add in that they screwed me cost wise on that one, the December one is more costly than the one I could order and have shipped within 7 days.

I didnt say that they dont find blocks - I simply said I find it interesting that around they are pushing braiins os as a better firmware yet their pool is not doing so good - I am sure a large bit of that hash rate is theirs and is running their fw - and when they are on PPS or PPLNS pools it really doesn't matter if they hit they hit the block or not - all that matters is that the pool does. I wish all pools were transparent enough to show who actually hit the block. That is why I said I would like to know - I never said I knew anything definitively.

my issue with slush is a much simpler one - they are ripping off every miner plain and simple. They have gone almost 2 years without paying the merged mining and if I recall when they stopped NMC was at around $10-$13 a coin - almost a year ago they said it would be paid within a few weeks, still has not happened. They are liars and thieves, plain and simple and I have not used them since.

I dont know enough to comment on their "stratum 2.0" I just hope it doesn't make it worse for miners and hopefully only screws with their own pool and not the entire network.

I have one coupon for $150 - I plan on using it to order one more - not sure if it will be a T17 or S17 - but I will order one more

they have not responded to anything as of late - wonder if they got temp banned for spamming again?

as those are mostly - if not all - dead coins, that data is probably not worth .00000025 BTC, let alone .25 BTC

the only flashing you can do - as far as I know is to the controller - by "some life" do you mean some chips work and some do not? are some showing as 'X' or not as as all instead of as an '0' in the ui?

I wonder who would buy at these prices? do these guys actually get sales?

this one is the cheapest of the crazy prices that I saw today 1499

this one stepped it up to 4995

this one goes a bit further and wants 7000 with $100 to ship

and then this one was the most crazy price I saw today... 12,000
he added the following tidbit of information:

"1 Day Old.  Opened and Mining flawlessly at 13.7TH. Price is firm, These units are hard to get and profitable.  Will ship immediately upon receipt of payment."

while they can be profitable, that really depends on the users electricity cost - but it is not worth anywhere near 12k

If they find people willing to pay these prices, I sold all my S9's to the wrong folks then as I got 300 tops for the ones I sold and those were the S9J's

i am hoping my order comes that route too - less tax is better.
