Hi, also interested in!
And how about warranty/rma when buying from a reseller?
Has anyone had problems with Bitmain, trying to get out of warranty work?
Very long story short. I bought a R4 back in December/Jan of 2016. Unit caught on Fire right after doing the ant-bleed patch on or around May 1.
Spoke to bitmain, for a week or more, They assured me the unit still had warranty on it until June 22-2017, and as long as I mailed it before then we'd be fine. . Fast forward a week Bitmain china stells me they have no r4 stock or items and I will need to work with Colorado. R4 is sent and received by June 9th. Today I get notification form Bitmain Colorado. that They were only able to salvage 1 of my boards, and it was going to be $600 to replace the other board.
If the device is under warranty then isn't the burden of the cost of repairs on the mfg? why even have warranty then? as of right now I am 2 months without any hash from the device.
