Isn't there anyone currently selling sticks (or even pods) in Europe?

Well. For the record. Nothing ever arrived. So I filed a case and that was decided in my favor today.

Nothing lost. An experience gained.

Now looking for some other way of generating bitcash.

For some completely unfathomable reason, I just got my registration info and order confirmation.

Now we could maybe start a poll or otherwise guess what will happen. Either 1) I will get 10 new U3 miners, 2) I will get 10 used but working U3 miners, 3) I will get 10, of which some or 4) all have failed somehow, 5) I will get less than 10, of which none, 6) some or 7) all are DOA or 8) this is the last thing I will hear from them.

Are you saying that I should not trust Paypal's buyer protections?

Maybe the hardest part now is to wait for six weeks and then file a case.

I bought the minimum amount of U3, which is 10 pieces. Five bucks for one, for a total of fifty will not crash the bank, but it's not a negligible amount either.

I thought I created an account onto the site while checking out, but it doesn't recognize my login details, and the only email I have received is from Paypal. I'll see what happens. But since I went through Paypal checkout, I think I am somehow under their protection.

I took the free shipping, which will take from 4 to 5 weeks.

Will keep everyone updated.

I started my original post by stating that I am not interested in profitability.

I am interested in just any nice device to generate whatever, even if small amount of bitcoins.

I have "free electricity" during winters, because I must heat the house electrically anyway.

I don't want anything more powerful or expensive than an U3. I already have a suitable power supply for an U3. It also looks nice. While the more powerful mining devices do not.

But well, it is a sad situation. U3 would have been nice enough, small enough and big enough at the same time.

Hello

Just to get into Bitcoin and try out some mining for fun, I plan to spend a little and see how things work out.

I have settled on Antminer U3 for hardware. But seems like it is available nowhere.

Except that a company in Indonesia seems to be selling it almost for too little to be credible.

See here: http://metrobitcoinminer.com/products/ANTMINER-U3.html

Can I trust them, and order the minimum amount? Does anyone have any experience with them? I know that if I pay via PayPal that I have some protection. But should I count on just that?
