Hello guys, Im new to the bitcoin forums, and I am in need of your help. I am looking to buy a bitmain AntMiner S1 and the website looked a little suspicious. The first link ( https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison ) is to the bitcoin wiki mining hardware comparison, and if you click on the AntMiner S1 it takes you to another page ( https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/AntMiner ), then if you click on the link to the oficial website it brings up this https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/AntMiner which almost looks too good to be true, but since it was on the bitcoin wiki I want to trust it and not dismiss it out of hand. If anybody could provide any assistance, a response would be greatly appreciated by a younger mining enthusiast! Thank you, and may the hashes be ever in your favor xD. |

Is you question if the Antminer S1 is legit? Or did you find a seller your asking about. The S1 is legit for sure and most sites that sell them are legit. Ordering direct from bitmain is how I got mine but they are sold out right now. Where in the world are you? That will help you decide what reseller to use. https://bitmaintech.com/product.htm |

There was more than one geez thanks Tara's for fixing them all Guess that 0.00001 got you in front of the line XD Wonder if there was a user who did that in all cases then they should be flagged and deleted if its all one person putting up a fake site. |

Thats the problem with wiki: the author of the article was the "scammer" and included his own link. And they made alot of other articles too. |

The articles are now being used to describe the REAL products/services.  We've blocked the user from editing. |

Wow, I guess I stumbled upon something bigger than I though xD. However the case may be, I am still in the market for one or to antminer S1 asics, and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. Im happy I could provide some assistance with the Bitcoin community, and keep up the good work!
