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.

Their website lists various hosting addresses in the US. Aren't there any mining communities in the US where you can get information about this?

I'm looking at their locations: 1-4 MW is very small. That's three to 10 small containers. I don't understand why they need so many locations in different states and different countries; it adds additional costs.
