I was contacted from pangolin today they want me to notify and describe customs to USA when it comes. They want to know the exact amounts charged to me. If any is charged at all. Not counting on beating the trump tax on this one but we shall see in about 49 days.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Interesting. I know the invoice attached to my M10 was ... ? ... what I paid. I think you can infer what they may be interested in knowing.
I deleted your post for some reasons I rather not mention. I then quoted it with an alteration in bold/blue All to protect you as that info about your purchase does not need to be revealed on this website. I can clearly state in my case all m10's I purchased after the trump tax was started were sold to me for under 800 usd a piece as I actually paid under 800 usd each. They were ordered more the 1 week apart one at a time so I truly avoided the trump tax legally. I can also say I did not ask pangolin to do about the m20 v1 72th 3312 watt demo unit. To be more clear about this please refer to this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdhAfMor9BM this is what I know and think about the trump tax on the m20 v1 demo purchase that I made. BTW she (Doris Day) is still alive at 96 soon to turn 97 on April 3rd.

Understood Phil. I will say that I did pay less than the de minimis for avoiding the tariff, but the invoice was (blank).

They opened it, and added a coupon: BESUTOMAINA delivery in August, 70TH 3360W (48W/T). Can't wait to see how much more efficient it can be tweaked into...

WELL for now I will wait for the Demo may 10 -20
Once it is setup I will be getting them mostly due to the 68-70th at 3300 watts. it is a big number for 1 box.
I wonder if the downclock is 50th at 2000 watts
August date is tough to buy a lot.
Trump tax = 500+ also a tough number to work with.
The trump tax really slowed hashrate growth.
One of these is 2190 add 27.6% and it is 2794.44 usd
does 70th at 3300 watts
5 s9's do 70 th at 7000 watts cost = 900 vs 2794 a 1894 cash savings
power saved = 3700 watts or 3.7 x 720 =
2664 kwatts a month at 10 cents 266.40 usd 7.10 months to make up the purchase price with power savings " " " " " 9 " 239.76 usd 7.89 months to make up " " " " " " " " " " " 8 " 213.12 usd 8.88 months to make up " " " " " " 2664 " " " " 7 " 186.48 usd 10.16 months to make up " " " " " " " " " " " 6 " " " " " " 5 " 133.20 Usd 14.21 months to make up the purchase price with power savings
I guess from 7 to 10 cent power cost you could argue getting a few.
but once you have 5 4 or 3 cent power you can still wait a bit.

4 month wait is risky. Almost identical pricing as S17 before coupons, while being less efficient. When they had a 3 month pre-order with the M3, prices were around 50% cheaper by the time they shipped and the cheaper batches shipped only a week or two after pre-order. I will wait until August and for Phil's review. I expect S17's coming online shortly will force these to become even cheaper.

Well here is a perfect call. My demo was due to ship:
may10-20 then may 20 then June 1 then June 5
as of now it has yet to ship. I am at least one of 3 people waiting on the demos and no shipping info.
I never say don't order from a company until I am sure they are bad.
I do say be careful with this gear and orders look like they will be further delayed. Until I don't know when.
I am fortunate as I did acquire :
1 s17 pro 53th
I have 2 t17's on order I have an innsilicon t3t 39th on order I have some avalon a1041's coming.
So this delay while frustrating is not a death blow.
Please be careful buying from anyone as times are very interesting for getting new mining gear.
In the meantime
my s17 s15 s 9's t15
along with my 8 m10's which is why I ordered my m20 demo
a921 a721 t2t 24th
all mine on.
So far in a world revolving around my dreams if I had my choice I would own all s17pro 53th gear.
I would love to see if the m20 is worthwhile maybe next week.

Yeah I was following them a bit on telegram and noticed they were taking a holiday for Friday, so I had already given up on this week. The last thing I received was an email asking to confirm information for customs, and that if I didn't respond within 48 hours they would use what they had on file. This was different from all other orders I had placed with them, so it made me wonder if they were shipping them differently, maybe direct from manufacturer. Still I had no other choices really at the time, with the potential 240V hardcaps I've seen in the specs of other miners. Upside is I did get my spare parts to play with the M10 this weekend.

I got my spare m10 psu it is dead.
Of my 8 m10s' I have the 1 shit one. and the psu does only 11.97 volts. it does run 3 boards on low okay but not on high.
So they sent a new one it came monday I hooked it up yesterday and it is fucking dead. 0.000 volts to the buss bars. it does power the 2 fans and the controller.
So I now have a dead psu which was not cheap a slightly crippled m10.
and waiting on the m20s.

Greater than or equal 20A amp rating would be in the safe zone.
So a 20 amp breaker will be good enough for this miner?

I was talking about the cable wire gauge. Answer to your question is that, with 220V voltage, yep.

no my guess is you need a 240 volt 30 amp. not a 240 20 amp. we have seen a demo of this gear pull 3417 watts. depending on your voltage level say 208 to 242 you will pull 16.42 amps to 14.12 amps. a 20 amp breaker doing 16.42 amps is not good for a 24/7/365 load. it is just over the limit. So yeah 1 unit in a cooler space you may do it. but 5 units or 10 units or 20 units on a warm spot and you are in trouble. time will tell how subject they are to this issue. there are not any in the field with regular miners. I really would have preferred them to use Bitmain's 2 plug design on the s17. Edit HaggsFin is correct that 220 volts is good just as I am correct that 208 volts will or may be short with a 20 amp fuse.
just got tracking!!!!!! yeah baby!!!!!

I know the feeling, i didn't get tracking information but was told I'd have it by Tuesday. We'll see, they said it was an issue with Chinese Customs but didn't elaborate any further.
