If you lived in NYC, would you walk into this office?

Hello everyone,

I saw that OneMiners is now promoting a New York office in Brooklyn as their U.S. hub for sales, hosting, and support.

• Facebook video showing it: 🚨 Brooklyn, crypto fam, your mining upgrade just dropped!

• Full article: New York Enters the Mining Era: OneMiners Opens Office in Brooklyn

• Short youtube clip: Brooklyn crypto fam!!

The blog says the New York office is:

• A walk-in spot for consultations
• A small showroom to see miners and demos
• A local place where U.S. clients can talk about ASIC purchases, hosting contracts, and account issues in person

To me that sounds like a good step toward accountability - at least there is a door, an address, and people you can confront if something goes wrong.

But I'm also thinking:

• It's still crypto - an office doesn't guarantee your funds or ROI
• Some companies use "nice offices" as a trust signal while the real problems are in the contracts or operations
• You still need to read the fine point, not just stare at the shop window

So I'm curious, especially from U.S. users:

• If you were in New York, would you actually go there and talk to them before buying or hosting?
• What questions would you ask them face to face about regulation, contracts, and payouts reliability?
• Would a physical office like this must be a must-have for you before you trust any long term hosting deal, or is online reputation more important?
• Has anyone here already visited the Brooklyn office? Was it a serious business environment or just a marketing showroom?

I'm trying to understand how much this kind of physical presence really matters to miners in 2026

I would go take a look.

I go to NYC and live about 55 miles from the store.


But frankly I need to feel some sense of security about letting them hold say s21xp miners.

An office would not be enough.
