(Review/Guide) WhatsMiner M10 33.0 Th/s, 2145W Bitcoin (SHA-256) ASIC miner

[NotFuzzyWarm]

Interesting, just ordered my 3rd 31T and while on Pangolin's site there is now no mention of the 33T model - not even an out-of-stock notice. Think Pangolin has just settled on the 1 model for now? They raised the 31T specs to now be 31-33THs which is fully in line with what I see from the 2 that I have.

Maybe create a group buy thread?

Might do one, but essentially we'd just ask people to use our website.

Yea, what I was saying a few posts back, no reason to have multiple models so close in spec.

I was contacted about getting a m10 31th  for 850-51 = 799  under the de minus(sp)

I was able to order one for 850 -51 = 799  + shipping

It is yet to ship and it is yet to be determined if I am going to avoid the trump tax legally if it was written up correctly I would avoid it.

 I am simply not sure that pangolin has correctly  written the invoice to pass usa customs.

I should know if it was done correctly by Monday the 18th of feb

worse comes to worse I am out the trump tax of 27.6%

best case  I legally avoid it.

I am waiting for shipping number from pangolinminer.com

if this works  you order from your account and use the 51 dollar coupon  to go to 799

this would be for 1 at a time  for each order spaced at least 1 week apart and is for usa buyers.

I am willing to give this a try  because  I order directly from pangolin  using the same account I have always used.

I am willing to be the test subject for USA buyers.

please wait just a while for updates.

I am not giving out the forum members name at the moment that approached me on this
Since I do not know this will work yet.

Thanks for the update Phil

What $51 coupon is this?

[minefarmbuy]

Thanks for the update Phil

Apparently dj here is associated with pango. I'd DM them.

Still invoicing has to be correct to be under de minimis. Would be much easier for consumers if pango just dropped the pricing back to 799USD.

this would be for 1 at a time  for each order spaced at least 1 week apart and is for usa buyers.

De minimis is one import under $800 per day. Any other imports on the same day would put you over this limit and duties would be due for all imports.

We'll be happy to apply dj's code for buyers but cannot guarantee invoicing is correct for de minimis status.

Waiting for results.  I think I'd pull the trigger on one of these if it were possible at the right price.

still waiting for tracking number  as the order is in processing.

[NotFuzzyWarm]

still waiting for tracking number  as the order is in processing.

Waiting with bated breath here as well. Despite being over de minimis I finally broke down 2 days ago and have another 31T ordered that should ship tomorrow.

I take it DHL will want a check upon delivery to pay the tariff?

[philipma1957]

okay  some good news I got tracking number yeah

As for  a taxable item When I got all the T1's + psu's from Yoshi/MyRig

DHL froze  shipment for a little bit of time. (2-3 hours)

I called help phone they gave me  a secure link to pay with a CC I paid with my Discover Card

Item was then released I think I lost a day maybe not.

when I get a tracking number I put it in and click on the sign up for shipment notifications



i add a cell phone and an email here

[philipma1957]

Gear is moving along  no bad news about customs and or fees.

Nice, if your contact details are included on your shipping label they will typically notify for customs/delivery to a consumer without this process when signature is already required. Still a good practice.

[OgNasty]

How can I get my hands on one of those $51 coupons?

PM'ed

[philipma1957]

Yeah  so far dhl has not told me I owe more for trump tax. So I would guess  it is okay to get a coupon and use it.  Still not perfectly sure.

I was able to use my account with pangolinminer  so it is nice in that you should not be at any extra risk  then an order  without the coupon.

As you use your own account.

edit :

update my gear is on the truck and no one has asked for tax.

so sending a pm to dj_wldwst

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1163591

mention this thread  and ask for coupon details  seems to be okay.

I was able to use my pangolinminer account to place order.

Same account I used for the other orders.

I space my orders by a week or at least until I get one.

Ie: I ordered Fri. I get it Monday  next order of 1 would be on tuesday.

Well waddayaknow -- my 3rd M10 31T that I ordered last week just came in and despite being over $800 de minimis no bill from DHL re tariff due! Got a feeling one will show up later...

yeah looks like they are efforting to protect us from trump tax.

Mine came and with 51 usd coupon I was clearly marked under de minimis

I am making an effort to order the next one  3 days after delivery to have zero issues.

thanks to dj_wldwst for coupon.  I don't know have many he has left.  Since I am up to 7 m10's I will wait until thurs and decide with buysolar if we get one or two  more.

miner just fired up  at mmpool.org for testing.

edit

looks like there is an issue with 1 board

does not seem to fire up

I will let it settle a bit.

seems to work now

[NotFuzzyWarm]

I initially ran into that as well with my 2nd one but like yours, after a good warmup all 3 boards came to life and have been doing just fine for over 5 days now.

The autotune does set different speeds as needed for the boards and interestingly, the board that initially did not show up runs at a lower speed than the other 2 boards do: Hmm, just looked and checking the 2, my 1st one all three boards are centered around 500MHz +/- 4, number-2 oth are all over the map! 499, 468 and 562MHz... Definitely some variation in chips there... Still, considering it holds a steady 31.6THs - werks fer me!

Yeah today’s is say 470 560 470

30.9 th

[Steamtyme]

That's what I had noticed when my first 2 arrived. I'm not near them at the moment but over the last 3 weeks (Since my back to back power outage days) the underperformer has risen to 30.9 TH/S. Well within the specs when I ordered. That unit is very similar to your NotFuzzyWarm, Something like a 90 spread between the lowest and highest. The unit pulling 31.7 TH/S has a spread of 50-60 IIRC. I'll double check tomorrow.

I'm not about to open mine up but it would be interesting to see if there is a noticeable difference between the boards. I say this because when I was talking to them about the 2 models previously being offered they said it was due to chip batches. So I wondered if maybe they were mixing and matching boards to level out the performance stats, instead of having lame duck batch. Something like 2 great boards and an underperformer.

Yeah didn't that happen to a bunch of people last year when the tarrifs were rolling out, good old bills in the mail. I know DHL hits me with anything incoming before it arrives, I get an email but that's for the provincial and federal sales taxes.
