I feel pretty burnt here. I just bought a $6700~ miner and now you can get one for free through your order.
Is there any buyer protection or anything that can be done about this?
Not sure if anyone else is in the same boat but it sucks.
Buy 2 more + 2 more free to dollar cost average your purchases or take it as lesson learned and move on.
My only income is crypto, primarily mining with ASICs, and personally, I think $6700 for ANY ASIC is too high risk - even $2k is *usually* too much given the "shit happens" factor, but that's just my opinion.
