(Review/Guide) WhatsMiner M3 11.5 Th/s, 2000W Bitcoin (SHA-256) ASIC miner

[KokiMiner]

whoa, 80celcius++ , from your opinion, is it a good temperature for long term survive?

New to ASIC-based miners I take it?
For a couple years now as general rule they prefer to run hot. 80C is actually rather low compared to Avalons or Bitemain's miners. They are typ 85-100C.

So you're saying the temps are OK?

Yes we are both saying temps are ok.

I think that subject has been discussed plenty now. 

Please don't ask one more time if the temps are ok.

Ahahahahahha. Thought they were like cpus run worse when hot.

Wondering what the power consumption would be with 240v?  Trying to decide how many I can run right now in my temp location.  Thanks for the review OP.

I just wanted to ask about the electricity bill you pay with this miner and would like to know what is good choice to buy if antminer or this whatsminer?
Honestly i planning to buy but after seeing the antminer s9 in bitmain almost sold out.. Now looking for alternative do you  think this might a good choice for alternative?
The electricity rate here in my country 0.20 usd per kwh

[KokiMiner]

Afaik with 9¢ per kwh it costs around 130-135$

The power consumption would be about the same, higher mains voltage makes from little to no difference.

You can only use bank transfer for orders valued 5000 USD or more.
You need to use Bitcoin for orders with lower amount than that.

You'll get the payment information from Pangolinminer when you go through the order process with them.

No you can't use Paypal unfortunately.
They had issues with Paypal and now only bank transfer, Bitcoin transaction or Bitcoin Cash transaction is accepted.

How safe is it? If something happens can i get money back

[Tszunami98]

Does anyone know where i can find the tool for this miner?
I have searched on the pangolian miner official website and i didnt find anything.
I have to say this is my first time setting up a miner and it is a little bit confusing for now

Do you mean the IPFound tool?
See this Twitter post by Pangolinminer.

You can download "Whatsminer tool" (IPFound)and find your miner's IP easily !

But you can also just check your network router web configuration page and see the miner IP address there.

And now they have issues with bank transfer too.

Interested in buying several. Any ideas about M3 reliability compared to S9? S7 were 28nm (same like M3)and were more reliable, so maybe same goes with M3? Read alot that S9's are breaking alot and their warranty support is really shitty.

Hey where did you get the info that they are having issues with the bank transfer? I legit just paid them about two hours ago. I had to re-order since they refunded my paypal payment two days ago.

I'm nervous as can be already about wiring money. Any input is appreciated.

[Spock83]

Just try to buy one. Option for payment is bitcoin and bitcoin cash only.

[joel794613]

Well I feel like I just got shafted out of $1200.

I paid earlier this morning before that warning was present.  I emailed their support so we'll see what comes of this.

[kevinchewy]

How did you get this to work in the US power wise? Can I use a transformer that steps up the voltage to 220v, or is it a little more complicated than that?

these are raw shot videos today no editing. this is intentional as transparency is a desired detail

So can someone 100% guarantee that www.pangolinminer.com is legit?

Yes.
It is the only official shop from which to buy the WhatsMiner M3.

It is exactly the same source from which I bought this review unit.
