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

[sinhand]

Thanks, sorry to bother you.

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.

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.

No worries.

Hello!

First of all, thanks for the reviews.

I'm about to buy some of these miners but I'm a little worried because it is too good to be true.

According to the calculator, IF (supposition) the bitcoin mining and difficulty remains the same until march/2018 (expected time to arrive). I'll earn about USD600/month. ROI of only 2 months!

Can you guys help me and tell what I'm not seeing?

Thanks!

I have the same sentiments too! 2 months ROI seems like a dream come true.

But I guess the 2 mths ROI is based on the assumption of current price holds or appreciate in Feb 2018. Its everyone's guess, but hey no risk no rewards!

Hello all I'm new to mining and I bought one this miners just not from www.pangolinminer.com. I used whatsminer.net... I used PayPal to pay and received a receipt and everything but after reading on here I am worried I just got scammed. Does anyone know if the whatsminer.net site is a scam? Thanks. Prompt reply would be appreciated so I can cancel the order and just get my miners from pangolinminer.com.

MAYBE they buy on the pangolinminer website and resell, IDK. If you paid with paypal, maybe your payment was not processed (**** PAYPAL HAS BEEN DISABLED AS PAYMENT METHOD AS OF 12/7/17. IF YOU MADE A PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL YOU ORDER IS FINE UNLESS YOU RECEIVE A EMAIL FROM SALES****FOR SHIPPING LOCATIONS NOT LISTED ON THE WEBSITE PLEASE EMAIL ---------- SALES @ WHATSMINER.NET) and you can cancel it and buy in the pangolin.

I'm buying 3 trusting in the (good) reviews of the elder members.

2 months ROI with curren5 diff. if I preorder now I basically receive the miner on march it SHOULD still be profitable if not 2months ROI it will be 3months. Am I right? What do you guys think?

Even if the ROI raise to 6 months I think it is a valid purchase. My problem is where to purchase. www.pangolinminer.com or whatsminer.net.

For now I'm going to buy from pangolin cause HagssFIN bought with them.

[KokiMiner]

Pangolin is the only official site afaik.

[Ssnider21]

Well from what everyone is saying it seems I have been scammed. Anybody else know anything about whatsminer.net?

I don't think so. They're just a reseller from what I see. Their prices are a tad higher than pangolinminer that's what makes me think they're a reseller.

[Ssnider21]

I hope they are a reseller. I thought I was doing a good thing by buying from an American website instead of Chinese. Thought it would be a little safer. Well does anybody know any real site to buy miners?

The address they list on the website is for a UPS store in Florida, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything bad.

Feb. batch sold out

[Ssnider21]

Is that sarcasm? Because having an address at a ups sounds terrible. I'm screwed.

No not at all. I know plenty of online businesses who use a UPS store as an address. Especially ones that ship high value merchandise. And if you used PayPal before the ban on preorder purchases through them, you should be covered.

Maybe next time ask the questions and do the research before paying? Just a thought.

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

Should you buy this

yes if you have a place for the sound it is really loud
yes if you have low cost power
yes if it ships quickly------- I got the demo fast

It has been moved to the solar array

here is the gear at nicehash

I have 220 volt power don't go the transformer route.


if you can have a 220 volt line put in  do it.

if you can't do not mine with s-9's or this miner.

both units are far too power hungry for 120 volt mining 24/7/365

[GbrilliantQ]

I uh had 9 M3's in my cart, went to get a drink and came back to them being sold out!!! blah blah blah. 

[Bighero76]

These were a steal at theiir original price! Now sold out, on ebay for $3000

[Halikin]

Same to me. I put 3 in my cart and while I was buying the required bitcoin to pay, it went out of stock.  

I'm just thinking in buy at whatsminer.net. It is $200 more, but the real issue is to know if it is not a scam.
