Where would I look into buying miners?

[Bitcoininspace]

I am interested in opening a farm and purchasing a lot of miners.

Just wondering how my steps would be from here, are there any sites that actually work and send you your miners in time? Any trusted sites?

I wouldn't want my investment to go to scam so just wondering how the situation is nowadays and if there indeed are any trusted sites where you can buy miners from and actually get them in time.

create WTB thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=75.0 and wait/check for offers and maybe you will be lucky. anyway, what is you electricity price per kW?

There is not too many options for new equipment. Bitmain and Avalon is about it.  For used myself and various others can sell you equipment.

How many are you looking for?

This is probably the best answer. And you should only mine if your electricity is $0.05 or less per kw.

Anyways you can buy from bitmaintech, with their s5.


Or check out this list https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison to find more gadgets/hardware (also be careful of vaporware posts).

You should stick to spondoolies, bitmain, and avalon. That is just my personal opinion as KNC has had fire issues before... BFL scammed a ton out of their customers and many others did not deliver on time.



Maybe a better idea is to hold out as people speculate there might be new mining gear within the next couple of months.

As long as you have free or cheap electricity then get an old miner from the classified section. Avoid eBay and amazon. They are overpriced.

Yeah, there is at least one trusted site - bitmaintech.com. If you can say that there is an adequate customs in your country, then everything is usual OK when you order SHA-256 miners from Bitmain.

If you want to buy a lot of miners (here I mean really valuable quantuty of energy-efficient miners) - take a look at this: https://bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020150303100340162omIT01sg0693. Anyway you better talk with them via e-mail or by phone about possible discount even if you want to buy less than 1600 units.

Also you can buy some used S5s (or may be S4s too) from Chinese mining farms, but it appears to be very difficult to find such an offer, it can be found somewhere in Chinese Internet, so you need a Chinese friend or something... Once I saw such an offer at aliexpress.com, but suddenly the seller has disappeared...

What about other mining hardware than Bitmain? You can try to find some miners by Spondoolies.

Thanks for this. Will take a closer look at it.

Thanks, will do that when the time comes. I am not sure to be honest, I live in europe so they shouldn't be that expensive.

[zombie007]

What do you mean "lot of miners" ? 100? 1000?

From Europe you should try http://asicminer-shop.de
I've ordered some stuff from them, fair prices, quick shipping, sometimes have bulks of old gear, so it worths a try.

[jungle_dave]

Cheap power + low entry cost are the main factors.. I've never seen a good deal on Ebay or Amazon but you never know..


Best of luck!

[Finksy]

Do you mean that you do not know your electricity cost?

[toptek]

Let me see there is so many places on the Webb some i wouldn't send my worst friend to, some i would recommend to any one.


But start with


http://www.ebay.com/

 for the best prices .

or

http://www.amazon.com/

they may cost more but some times if your a lucky one you get some really nice deals there . but its rare there any more .

or do a Google search.

if you use Google be careful .

Bitmain

Rockminer

Spoondolies.



or Kijiji.  I would only buy direct from those three ASIC producers.  I have personally bought form Bitmain and Rockminer twice, each time arrived with in a week and preformed EXACTLY as advertised.
