Where can I buy miners?

[kano]

Hello there. What can you say about ASIC Miners and their benefits? What devices are the best to buy in 2021 in your opinion?

This link is a good starting point

https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator/

Well since nicehash has always blatantly lied about their returns vs mining elsewhere, I'd suggest to look at a calculator elsewhere.

 i paid usdt and they didn't disappear. another guy from reddit received everything. looks legit. good prices.

The WeChat/Whatsapp, pay with crypto is a pretty big path to getting scammed (happened to me).

I source mine through Alibaba.  I have found 3 suppliers that have good prices and services.

Ningbo Zanboo International Trading Company - ask for Tracy - Bought many types both new and used from them.

Shenzen Letine Technology Company - ask for Shira - Bought alot of new BTC miners from them.

Shenzen Changcheng Technology Company - ask for Susanna - Bought a used miner from them.

I use Trade Assurance.  Ningbo seems to have the best prices.  Changcheng has the largest selection of used miners and is a decent price. 

Hope this helps folks.

I can vouch for HashExpert, I've used them several times with no problems:

Yup, Oleg is a fine gentleman. I had a few trades with him in 2019, all went smooth, not the best in terms of price if the order quantity is small, I can also vouch for https://t.me/minerexpertsales (graze), she is an honest seller and prices are ok for small quantities, so always check with both.

Grace has fairly good prices, I rolled the dice and ordered an S19 from her.  Fingers crossed!  Now to wire the 220v outlet..

This is how sellers on Alibaba/Aliexpress usually scam you, they don't just ignore you and walk away with your money as that will bring them troubles, instead, they send you a terrible product that usually just doesn't work as advertised, in many cases, they might just send you a different product.

The problem with buying mining gear is that the seller needs to be trusted, they all offer you a Video-Proof showing how the miner works perfectly, but these videos can be easily faked, and then they will blame the shipping company or anyone else and insist that they tested miner before shipping and that they have the video tape as a solid proof against your claims.

East Coast Mining (https://eastcoastmining.com/) offers very good prices, includes warranty on old and new miners, and fast shipping.

China continues to block cryptocurrencies in all directions, so from October 8, 2021, Alibaba will ban the sale of equipment for mining bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on its platform., the announcement was posted on their official website, the truth is that there were too many negative reviews earlier about buying equipment there. https://rule.alibaba.com/rule/detail/11004645.htm?spm=a271m.8038972.0.0.22286d82hvTv3v

Do you think we will see a rise in the stock levels of crypto mining hardware on eBay filling the gap now that alibaba is leaving the scene.

I think it is possible to conduct unsecured mining directly in the wallet. 720 computing power

Last night, China's Inner Mongolia seized a lot of mining machines. It is expected that the btc will continue to decline for some time in the future. This is a very unfavorable situation. As a miner, this is bad news. I hope that a better development method can be proposed.

well this is interesting but a link helps.

a lot of machines is ?

10 x s19 is 1ph not a lot
100x s19 is 10ph not a lot
1000x s19 is 100 ph not a lot
10000x s19 is 1 eh and while a lot still under 1%

15000x s19 is 1.5 eh and is 1% of the network

it would be 3.4 x 15 = a 51 mega watt plant I am thinking it was not that much.

Link would help.

10,100 mining gears that consumed 1,104 kWh according to "The Development and Reform Commission of Bayannur City in North China's Inner Mongolia", you can read more here

This can't be major if the numbers are right, 10k gears each consumes 1kw? what could it be? maybe an underclocked S9? so 12th per gear? 121ph or maybe 130ph at most? these are indeed a lot of gears for any individual, but is it worth being on the news given the size of the network and how tiny those 121ph seem? I don't think so.

yeah retired gear pulling 1 kwatts each would be s9s. but the math is off. i dont think it was what they write
10,100 x 1 kwatt would be 10,100 kwatts

a drop or two in the bucket 🪣


if only 1 kwatt a machine then it was 1100 machines doing the 1100 kwatts

which is 12100th or 12.1 ph which is really not much.
still would be nice to see

i think i got the math right but maybe not.

Your math is correct, not sure how i missed the mistake in that article, goes to show that you can not trust the media neither the government.

If its only 1104 kwh then it can't be 10100 unless those are GPUs.

Miners (Bitcoin Mining Machines) are supporting devices for miners to mine coins by solving algorithms of virtual money systems and earn corresponding coins.
Mining machines: Dedicated coin diggers and self-assembled diggers.
If you do not have a lot of knowledge and mining machines and need a company specializing in mining to advise and set up for you
Investing in virtual money in general or investing in mining machines in particular is considered a risky investment, but in return, its profits are very large. In cases of high volatility virtual currencies, becoming a billionaire is achievable for investors.

[NHop45]

I'd love to have a place to physically go buy miners. It would provide much more confidence for me. I'm looking to buy my first BTC miner.

[LITCOINMAXI]

I understand all those points but as i have learned most come to this conclusion assuming one pays utilities.

if you get free electricity is mining then worth the investment? or would you still advise just buying crypto.

Another plus i like is not needing to kyc to get my LTC/btc

You don't get any ltc in this part of the forum ...
