Because some of us DESPISE the garbage reliability level of recent Bitmain products.
In large scale deploys Bitmains failure rate is only around 7-8%. While its still on the high side its quite managable especially when you compare it to the 30% failure rate I experienced with Ebangs products. Avalon is still the king with a 1.7% failure rate on large deploys. |

Guys, I submitted my pre-order earlier this week for 5 mining units with power. Admittedly, it's a big risk, but one that I'm willing to take. I can only confirm that my BTC payment went through and I received a few confirmation emails from Halong. I don't have a ship date other than "April." I have an order number...let's just say that it's under #2000.
I've been mining ETH for the past several months just for fun and a few bucks on a GPU that I just happen to have, and I wanted to take a jump to BTC. I'll be glad to post some test results if/when I receive my order in 4 months. I take a little comfort in the quick responses that I received from Halong along with the notification that the April batch is sold out.
Assuming they work as advertised, I should be able to break even in 2-4 months (hopefully 2 months!) even with increased diff and BTC price fluctuations. Impossible to predict the future, but I'm comfortable with taking this kind of risk.
Good luck and happy mining, buying, selling, investing and hodling!

Your experience, another bitcoin talk tread, any third party analysis or report? Please elaborate. |

Avalon is still the king with a 1.7% failure rate on large deploys. Still 4-5 TIMES the failure rate on Avalon units even if those numbers are correct - and given how much it COSTS to deal with Bitmain when their units DO break too soon and how often they don't do SQUAT to fix issues, totally unacceptable. I also have to wonder what the failure rate on Innosilicon units are (and note they make a SERIOUS effort to fix issues when identified) or BW.COM units. |

You do the math. my avalon 741's are failing at a far greater rate then any avalon i ever had. my s-9's are worse but I am now 2 failed avalon 741's of 4 owned. my 721's were perfect 6 for 6 and ran for a year. my 6's were 20 of 21 and the one i killed was my fault. my 4.1's were 7 of 7. in general the avalon were good for me until the 741's. and to those that truly sent money to this company for vapour gear. where I guy swears he has one for testing in hand and does not show us jack shit good luck. Once again to the builds of this vaporware shoot me a pm and I will test it and do a long set of youtube videos showing it kicking the s-9's butt or just ignore me like the other vaporware companies do. vaporware till i have one in my house. |

These are the numbers I have personally experienced. I have deployed over 1000 of each miner this year. |
Stop buying industrial miners, running them at home, and then complaining about the noise.

I have personally had 17 failures out of 1000 devices. 5 were controller problems, the others were single board failures. If you consolidate the miners that becomes a total of 12 dead units out of the entire batch. |

With the caveat that its not the most informative conversation you'll be having today, theres a guy on here ( https://t.me/dragonmint ), claiming to be involved with Halong Mining. Still skeptical about this whole affair, but have a look if you like. |

Nothing so far, hopefully we will see it, i found his reply, its here, quote : No problem. I will do my best. After the review is complete; the rest is up for your own judgement call. I was questioning everything like yourselves. I asked for one and I got one. You folks will be the first to know when the pics/video come available sometime next week. Cheers.

Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:) |

I would be really careful at this stage, but I'm willing to give this a chance. I have proposed them with a thorough review here at the forum. Let's see if I'm able to buy a demo unit.  They will probably tell you that it is not possible to send a test unit |
