Question about warranty countdown

[GEMIN_M4]

Of all the asic miners brands, which one do you think provides the more time of warranty the most?

You're asking the wrong question.
Even in my country, not all ASIC manufacturer service centers are available, even though Russia is the second-largest mining country in the world.

Warranties are very nuanced, and they vary greatly depending on the company's policies in each country.
You can send your ASIC directly to the manufacturer, but that can be very expensive. If you want to mine, you need to be on good terms with the service center.

It does matter where you live.

It does matter how close you are to a center

There may not be an authorized service center in your city.

There is no Russia here, but there are 3 authorized Bitmain service centers in Russia.

In terms of warranty length, it usually comes down to who’s selling the machine rather than the brand itself — many resellers tack on extended warranty plans, while the OEM baseline can be pretty standard (6–12 months). From what I’ve seen online, brands like Bitmain and MicroBT typically offer about a year factory warranty, and some vendors will extend that to two with service plans. At the end of the day, always check the RMA policy and parts support before you buy, because a longer warranty on paper doesn’t mean much if replacements and service turnaround are slow.

You should take all the points into account.
A US crackdown on Bitmain will leave miners scrambling as repair lines and deliveries seize up
Washington is stress-testing Bitmain, and the first failures will show up in US mining facilities, not Wall Street terminals.

Honestly, cloud mining sounds nice, but most of the time it’s not worth it. There are legit setups out there, but they’re rare, and once fees and difficulty increases kick in, profits are usually thin or nonexistent.

For most people, you’re better off just buying BTC or mining with your own hardware. And if a cloud mining site is advertising “guaranteed” returns, that’s usually a big red flag (for me atleast).

I like how you said that they are rare, a legit cloud mining running in 2026 is a lie, renting hash power is possible but that's rental services not cloud mining, it's almost impossible to come across a legit cloud mining today, they are impossible to bring profits this days, newbies are still falling for cloud mining that are scams because that's the only thing you are going to get if you keep looking for a legit cloud mining.

If any could mining is still out there today just know that they are scam, what they are running is not cloud mining but Ponzi schemes, getting some payout doesn't mean that they have real equipment, they will gladly pay you for a while so that you can advertise them to your friends.

There is never and will never be a guaranteed profit in mining. Profit depends primarily on the coin's price and your mining costs.
There is a rare case where electricity is free, but in most cases, this is illegal. All cloud services pay for electricity and have a mining cost.

That’s a fair point, and it actually reinforces the idea that warranty length alone is a weak signal if geopolitical and supply-chain risk aren’t factored in. Even a solid OEM warranty doesn’t help much if RMA channels, spare parts, or repair logistics get disrupted by regulatory pressure, especially in the US. So realistically, miners should be looking at jurisdictional risk, repair redundancy, and local service access, not just the number of months written on the warranty card.

I live in a country where half of the mining industry is underground, and Russia is the second-largest mining country. Much equipment is smuggled in, and a warranty for it can only be obtained in China. Most miners sign contracts with unauthorized services, which are much faster than authorized services.
Every extra day of downtime is a loss. It's more profitable to pay for repairs than to wait 45 days or more for an ASIC to be repaired for free.
