Cannot login anymore on technobit...
Maybe the RDBMS is not working, or my account has been deleted...

I just had to do password recovery because I couldn't remember what it was too. 

I do remember my password.
When i enter the "good" password, the login page simply reloads, and do not say i'm logged in.
When i enter a "bad" password, then the login page warn me with "Authentication failed".

I have wait 3 month for a board that never came, but i've been refunded. Now i want to use my refund to buy this, and i can't log in...

I think god himself don't want me to mine...

If you later manage to get higher hashrate with just a different firmware - will that firmware be available for those who buy the pre-production versions?

Same with hardware modifications - if replacing some component leads to higher hashrate will you tell me what to replace (which then I could do voiding the warranty)?

It was not out of stock , just before putting the 30 pcs pre production run.
Soon we'll lunch End of February batch with bigger quantity.

End of Feb batch, same price or lower?

Well I bought one 2.5167 BTC after DPD Economy delivery is added.

I know I'm gonna regret ROI so please Martin no delivery delays like my Dec Batch 1 orders I need to mine these BTC back!  

If the later batch are closer to €1000 ($3/GH + 20%VAT) I'll order more.



I'll post everyone a review after it arrives.

All the best.

Before you consider to order from Technobit look around the forum:

Thats how Technobit is working....

Well I've ordered €3000 worth (6x Hex16B) end Nov for Dec batch 1 delivery.
They were late, last one is actually still in the mail, but I've got 5x mining.
I'll take the risk to get another 260GH for half the price.

[bitcoiner49er]

So, 180-200 GH/s now for 1.9BTC or 260 GH/s (maybe 320?) in Feb for 2.5BTC  

I don't get it...

[EDIT] Power savings MIGHT make it worthwhile. But only 30 pcs shipping on Feb 10. When do the rest ship?

[Pentium100]

I was debating whether to order 1 or 2, but decided to order 1. Maybe the next batch will be faster or cheaper or both. I did not have problems with my Hex16Bs, hopefully I will not have problems with these, though 2.5553BTC will be difficult to ROI, but should be doable.

AntMiner uses much more power (about 1kW), so it may stop being profitable sooner.
Also I would have to pay 21% VAT and probably import taxes on the AntMiner. And I would have to explain BTC to the customs (especially if the price increases while I wait for the miner).
Also, "Shipping Date: January 23, 2014 (+-1 business day)", so, later than the HEX8A1.

260GH for 260W (1GH/1W) and I'm hoping it's as quiet as the Hex16B are.

You will reach the limits of your home power ring 2x as fast with AntMiners, they're inefficient chips (0.5GH/W), give off more heat and noise.

200GH/1.9BTC x 260GH = 2.47BTC anyway so no difference in $/GH with an AntMiner.

Antminer does not use 1 kw. And its availiable now. It use araund 420w for 190 ghs.This marto product are still in prototype stage and chips are still not delivered. Further, it may be shipped from 10. February.
There is no import tax, only vat on declared value.

[marto74]

HI, All,
These on the website are only the pre-production run of 30 boards.
The are with FIXED shipping on 10-th of February.
Everything is ordered including the ASICs. So We'll have 3 weeks to finish them.
Soon We'll put on the website first production batch with end of February shipment with different pricing.

The announced 260 GHs rate is what we got until now. If We do better the pricing will remain .
As for later HW or FW upgrades we'll do it for free of course.


Best Martin

Great, i can login again, thanks marto!!

[whiteEAGLE]

I hope lot of people order this new miner, so Martin can send refund for older undelivered miners.

[lucazane]

website down?

Antminer does not use 1 kw. And its availiable now. It use araund 420w for 190 ghs.
There is no import tax, only vat on declared value.

However, since it is shipping from the US (or China) it will take longer to arrive and the customs can hold it up for a week. In addition to that, if it is send using regular mail (USPS etc), then the customs do not believe the declared value and ask me to send an invoice. I can do that preemptively if I have the tracking umber, but if I don't, I have to wait for their letter (takes a few days). Then I would have to tell them that I paid 1.9BTC for it and could have problems if they don't know what BTC is or if BTC has risen in value since then.

And hopefully the HEX8A1 will get higher hashrate with newer FW (because chips can do up to 40GH/s or so Bitmine claims).

That being said, I am quite tempted to buy one Antminer...

I am one of the earliest antminer buyers, bought for 4.5 btc. Costoms worried me very much and my eu country has 25% vat.
But nobody can prove you that you did not preorddred it at low priceor buy it for credit.
Bitmain sent me ups general inovice and declared 120$ with free shipping. That was imo too low and costly ups can not be free.
So i have made myown inovice and beside 120$ added150$ for shipping.
Bitmain sent antminer from china on saturday and all clearence and shipping took 4 days, got it wednesday. Paid around 100 $ for vat and brokerage.

You just to have inovice (pdf) with good description, price and shipping, also paying method included. Actual prove of paymant is required only if something does not add up. On inovice i placed antminer logo and make it looking good.

Till now i mined 3.7 btc if anybody want to know.

As for marto miner, he show sadly very shipping delays and many complaints. Wish you luck though.

Do you realize your web site says everything is "out of stock" except the Hex8A1? Are you stopping making all other miner now?

The Hex8A1 always says 1 in stock, even the limited 30x per-production run. How many left? Maybe you sold more than 30 already?

Does the TP-Link software support the Hex8A1?

Thanks.

Thanks.

I just check on website , miner is available but no remaining stock data there.
I guess from now, technobit order page won't show remaining stock anymore

10x for that. We made major update of the shop server today and all products quantities went to 0.
HEX8A1 was added later.
This is not what  is left but the minimum order quantity .
The site shows left products when they go under 10 pieces.

If you insist I can rollover this option for you.
But the problem is that it is only possible to be " in stock" that some customers read as in hand and this is kind of misleading .
Look now
I'll turn it off again in 10 minutes
