[WORLDWIDE]Bitmine - 950 GH/S 1500 USD - Next day delivery.

[Xian01]

I have exactly the same problem like you !...
and i believe they dont expect return customers !...

 Really glad it's not just me. I was a repeat customer Asked if it was possible to pay a reasonable premium to receive a unit that does closer to 1THs, and the response I received was "we will select one our must stable machines" (Note: did not pay a premium, paid the same as everyone else)

 *sigh*

 Caveat Emptor I guess

[bcollan]

I'm happy with mine doing 900GH/s at the pool, especially for the $1500 shipped price I paid.
At that price I might be tempted to "roll the dice" again, but certainly NOT for $1750+ shipping.

[hanti]

im waiting for 1500$ with shipping again

[MWNinja]

Anyone have dox on these guys? Looks like I may need to take a trip to China.

[tzortz]

Did you try to email them?
Did they answer?

[MWNinja]

David says Ali is handling it (as Ali apparently took payment on his personal address), Ali doesn't respond to emails, been several days.  Thinking more and more that the whole operation is just a scam.

I am the guy that purchased 26 units from Ali aka Bit-tech. A link to the original post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=409701.msg6331451#msg6331451

The following is a transcript of the last conversation I had with him on Skype:

[6/5/2014 2:06:25 AM] Ali@Bittech.hk: hi
[6/5/2014 2:07:15 AM] Joe: Yo what's up
[6/5/2014 2:07:22 AM] Ali@Bittech.hk: Not much
[6/5/2014 2:07:27 AM] Ali@Bittech.hk: how about you
[6/5/2014 2:08:02 AM] Joe: Lol not much here either just working
[6/5/2014 2:08:19 AM] Ali@Bittech.hk: sounds good
[6/5/2014 2:08:26 AM] Ali@Bittech.hk: what about miners stopped interest?
[6/5/2014 2:08:53 AM] Joe: Nah I have interest ...
[6/5/2014 2:09:03 AM] Ali@Bittech.hk: Okay cause have cheap IC prices now
[6/5/2014 2:09:08 AM] Ali@Bittech.hk: to manufacture
[6/5/2014 2:09:18 AM] Ali@Bittech.hk: can build and ship a machine for 1400
[6/5/2014 2:10:19 AM] Joe: No offense bro but you aren't building and shipping anything you are selling used equipment
[6/5/2014 2:10:37 AM] Ali@Bittech.hk: Sure when i stock up i use them
[6/5/2014 2:10:51 AM] Ali@Bittech.hk: we do build
[6/5/2014 2:11:01 AM] Ali@Bittech.hk: pcb,assembly,components,ic
[6/5/2014 2:11:49 AM] Joe: The compensation unit you sent me had 3 cups of dirt in it, only had 3 blades, and was put together with wood screws
[6/5/2014 2:13:10 AM] Joe: I really don't see how you think you can stay in business ...
[6/5/2014 2:14:07 AM] Joe: The replacement blades you sent me had missing caps and don't hash
[6/5/2014 2:15:15 AM] Joe: You continued to mine for 10 days after I ordered before shipping the units out
[6/5/2014 2:16:29 AM] Joe: I can buy a brand new unit from lketc.com and it will arrive 2 days later for $1280 plus shipping
[6/5/2014 2:17:00 AM] Joe: You get my points?
[6/5/2014 2:19:21 AM] Joe: No comment huh
[6/5/2014 2:20:57 AM] Joe: That's why I didn't bother contacting you .... Unless someone is buying you ain't talking
[6/5/2014 2:22:16 AM] Joe: I suppose I should share my experience on the forums .... Others may find the story .... Useful
[6/5/2014 2:27:52 AM] Joe: I guess you must have thought I lacked the intelligence to notice that you pawned off third rate used garbage on me for brand new prices and you would have another opportunity to unload more of the same on me
[6/5/2014 2:28:33 AM] Ali@Bittech.hk: This is what we do with all miners, we stock up with the production we do and mine with them
[6/5/2014 2:28:35 AM] Ali@Bittech.hk: we don't let them idle
[6/5/2014 2:29:27 AM] Ali@Bittech.hk: No if i ship you we would make new production , won't send you used.
[6/5/2014 2:29:35 AM] Joe: You claimed that my order had to be built that's why you couldn't do escrow an why it took you 10 days to ship ... Try again man
[6/5/2014 2:30:00 AM] Ali@Bittech.hk: No i never said it was going to be built , i said the next order would be built
[6/5/2014 2:30:07 AM] Joe: Dude you flat out lied to me
[6/5/2014 2:30:13 AM] Ali@Bittech.hk: the stuff you bought we had in stock
[6/5/2014 2:31:14 AM] Joe: I lost big on the order .... Would you be willing to let me return them for refund?
[6/5/2014 2:31:57 AM] Joe: I'll pay the shipping back just return the btc I sent you
[6/5/2014 2:32:21 AM] Joe: And I'll place a new order for new equipment
[6/5/2014 2:32:24 AM] Ali@Bittech.hk: we can pay back but same cost we are selling them now
[6/5/2014 2:32:31 AM] Ali@Bittech.hk: on todays btc price
[6/5/2014 2:34:21 AM] Joe: That would put me out even worse than I am now ... No thanks
[6/5/2014 2:34:46 AM] Ali@Bittech.hk: I can compensate on cheaper miners
[6/5/2014 2:35:38 AM] Joe: I have a lot of bad blades can I return for replacement
[6/5/2014 3:09:10 AM] Joe: I need replacement parts give me a return address



He failed to even respond to my request for replacement on the bad blades I have and I have not heard from him since. Most of the 26 units I have do hash but at ~850 GH/s average. All were heavily used and full of dirt/dust. The hash modules have components that just "fall off" IE caps and data connectors. I was sent an extra unit as "compensation" for low has rates on the 26 units I bought. The unit arrive literally full of dirt/dust, only had 3 blades in it and the cover was put on with some wood screws. There was a 4th module that was wrapped in bubble wrap and when opened had missing caps and will not hash. He also sent me a replacement power supply that was also heavily used, had no cables and wont power on. Along with the power supply he also sent me out 2 replacement blades early on after receiving the order. They don't hash either.

Please use this information or not as you all see fit.

Everything in this post are just the facts.

[tzortz]

Thanks for all the info but you could have post it earlier to help here.

Yes, I could have posted the information here earlier however I wanted to give Ali an opportunity to correct the situation. I do not take airing dirty laundry lightly so my hesitation in posting. It is apparent that he will not at this time. Hence the post.

So, let me understand, Ali is not working for Bittech anymore?

As far as I know Ali is still the front-man for Bit-Tech

[Collider]

I received a pretty banged up unit yesterday.

Testing now wether reaching advertised hashrate.

[BitchImightbe]

I knew this would happen, so i took precautions 
Anyone want information/etc on Bit-Tech.se, send me a PM.

If you think it´s free, then move along and don´t contact me. 

[sikke]

I ordered from Lightningasic they held my btc 8days, before giving no ship status. Thankfully i got refund almost the same.

I placed order for this bit-tech, very smart move i paid trough escrow ognasty, after initial confirmation 1 week and they said no ship. Ognasty refunded.

Now my bet is with pcfli and waiting for shipping hes good guy.
What is common with all sellers here is they mine for good 1 week with clients equipment to increase profits. Every day delayed is 20$ pure profit for the seller.

Bit-tech seems outright scam right now.

[joyyen]

and yes they even send a faulty miner for me and no response to my email !

my 1tb unit only mines 400+ ghs only !

the hashrate keep fluctuating between 0-980ghs so the avg hashrate is 400+ ghs only and keep dropping !

[Xian01]

Does anyone know what type of ribbon cable is used to connect the RasPi to the A1's ?  Does not appear to be a GPIO cable as two pins appear to be swapped.

Looking for a replacement to see if it doesn't fix the low hash-rate.

Edit: Also, the silence from Bit-Tech after reporting these issues is concerning.

[Easy2Mine]

@Xian01

I am in one of the factories in Dongguan or Shenzhen next week to add new miners, depends who is giving me the best price.
I will ask what type of cable is used for you.
All the Dragons from different factories are identical.

 Most appreciated. Sent you a PM. Cheers.

It looks like my unit has more than damage on the case.

With one blade, 2 caps are broken off.

The unit only gets 900GH. That is way off the advertised spec. Dont buy at bit-tech.

On top of that the unit is considerably louder than the previous one i had.

[tzortz]

When did you receive it?

Can you please post pictures?
