I built a price comparison site for EU ASIC miner shops. (Landed Price)

[kemoth00]

I wanted around 20 TH/s at home under 400W, and it took me two weeks of spreadsheets to even try to decide where to buy. The listed price was never what I'd actually pay: VAT differs by country, some shops show prices with VAT and some without, and new devices kept appearing so I kept starting over.

So I made https://minerdeals.eu/. It compares 7 EU shops, home and industrial miners, applies your country's VAT, and sorts by cost per TH and efficiency.

The weak spots, honestly: shipping estimates are rough because shop shipping rules are messy, there are only 7 shops so far, and nothing is verified against real buyer receipts yet.

I didn't build it to make a living. I built it because I couldn't decide where to buy, and if nobody else uses it, it already did its job for me. A couple of shops gave me affiliate links that I use, and they don't affect the ranking. At most it might pay for hosting.

If you try it and something is wrong, whether a missing shop, a wrong spec, or a shipping figure that was nowhere near what you paid, please tell me. That's more useful to me than traffic.

I think its pretty awesome that you actually coded something that helped you with your headache. Did you use any existing scripts or did you write the site entirely on your own?  Either way, the site seems quite straightforward and fast (especially sorting on cost per TH).  Good work!

Fwiw, dont worry too much about having only 7 shops right now.  Quality over quantity.  As long as the price data is accurate, people will use it.  Also, are the prices auto scraped from the shops, or do you have to enter them manually?

Actually, in my day job, I work as a web developer, so I built it myself—and of course, it involves the use of AI.
Yes, I automatically scrape the online stores every 6 hours.

With or without AI, I was really impressed with how your web app looks in the frontend.  Excellent work.  Building a custom scraper while keeping the user interface fast, clean and responsive is no small feat.

Curious if you be open to sharing the code or putting together a stripped-down version of it?  Definitely not looking to clone what you have built.  Im actually working on something in a totally different niche and looking to build a price comparison setup across a few different stores.  Even if it is just a rough, stripped-down version of the code, it would be super helpful to check out the backend.

It has a lot of potential if it weren't limited to European countries, but based on the domain extension and the points above, I don't think you have any expansion plans anytime soon.
^{- BTW, opening a few tabs led to a "This page couldn’t load (Reload to try again, or go back)" error, so you might already be hitting a limit with your current hosting plan.}

I'm still bookmarking it because of noise and efficiency filters
