The completely evaluation of Dragon 1 T bitcoin miner from china

[QuestionTime]

Looks fishy!

The miner or the previous post? The miner looks legit.

We received several reports about unauthorized individuals or companies claiming to be selling CoinCraft-based products, please pay extreme attention when purchasing from an unauthorized distributor because most probably they’re a scam or a reseller of lower-grade, non-working or counterfeit ASICs.

so you have stolen the chips with them and built the miners?

not serious man

1. Anyone needs to pay 15 BTCs to bad mouth Bitmine? Seriously.

2. The CoinCraft chip that Bitmine claimed are NOT their products. They buought form a Chinese chip company.

What company, and what chip? We like detailed info, and pictures, you know, post some.

This is how A1looks

And this is from your flicker photo, seems to me that there is A1 written on chips.

Yes, that's A1.

Reseller of machines made from the stolen batch of Bitmine A1 chips?

As i know, the chip is A1 indeed, they buy it directly from the factory who produce them. bitmine is not the only company who have the right to sell A1, the factory of china who produce it also have the right to sell them, that is what happened now.

Interesting. As far as I know, the intellectual property belongs to bitmine and they have not given the Chinese packaging facility the rights to sell these chips.

From what your saying, the chips were not bought from Bitmine. Until the legality of the chips can be better ascertained, I would be very hesitant to make a purchase as being in possession of or receiving stolen goods is considered a criminal offence in most areas.

As I know, the factory who produce the chip not only produce these chip but also attend the design of the chip, and have deal with bitmine that they can sell chips to other people . i donot think that chip can be stolen in such a big amount without being find, let alone that can be sold openly.

You need to know the legal status of your chips. If they are counterfeit Bitmine could get a court order to request Customs seize and destroy your miners on import, ask Trading Standard to remove and destroy them from any business premises, and ask eBay to remove all listings for sale no matter who sells them!

I have one of these arriving soon and will post my review.

Did you get your miner yet beast?

What is the stated value of the item for customs? We have to pay a pretty hefty 20% import duty from China to the UK.

I usually try and host my miners with foreign companies as a result. Although it's hard to find someone reliable. I this case, I think pcfli is offering a hosting option in the group buys subforum, but I am not yet sufficiently convinced of his/her trustworthiness to jump in. Otherwise, it seems like a good deal imho.

Thanks gh2k,  sudoku have joined the host plan and paid me this morning after testing for 24 hours, i believe that honest person can make much more money than cheater. so if you have interest to join the host plan, tell me your btc address and i will let the miner mine for your in Eligius pool for 24 hours for test, then you can make the final decision, if you don't want to join the plan after test, feel free to tell me and  just send back the bitcoin mined.

[QuestionTime]

Responsible hosting providers should be very reluctant to host potentially stolen hardware as the authorities might seize all other hardware at the hosting facility as well until proof of legitimacy can be provided.

I don't want to spend too much time on that steal issue, i have confidence that my miner are bought from one professional factory, i don't think they can steal so much chips to built more than 1000 unit. We have the deal with factory and they will offer us 600 unit before 10 March, if he cannot hand the miner to us by then, he will pay us a large huge of money for compensate, do you still think that this person built the miner by stealing the chip?

The link you posted magically changed to available on March 15th.  Sold out it says

Also, the price dropped from $9500 to $6890.  Very sketchy to say the least.

Proceed with caution.
