NO NONSENSE THREAD ON LEGIT MINERS AVAILABLE NOW!

[techgeek988]

Hello there fellow BTC geeks and nerds!
I am a computer engineer and devout crypto miner/investor from good old 'murica and create this thread for the sole purpose of informing as well as getting information on miners available for immediate sale through safe methods. I followed the forums for a while and sadly saw many here scam as well as get scammed. It's sad but true that a lot of perps as well as victims will be reading this post. I currently run 3 types of miners with over 10TH total and purchased all of them through reversible and safe payment methods (Credit Cards) as well as immediate shipment from sites such as eBay, Amazon or Alibaba.

I have heard good things about Spondoolies and Mining ASICS technologies but I will not comment as I have not had a personal experience yet and as we all know: "the proof of the pudding lies in eating it."

Please reply with good as well as bad experiences about your miners and I will keep on updating this thread with it as I am going to be investing 6 figures in SHA256 as well as SCRYPT based machines. This will make a great reference point for future purchases.

(1)Antminer S1 180GH (My first miners, got them around the start of 2014) - Bought on amazon, there are many sellers like Asicminers Direct, Bitcoin Rigs, Coin miners Direct. Payment method is reversible with Amazon protection so obviously great.

(2)Antminer S2 1000GH - Again bought on Amazon, there are many genuine sellers with good feedback on eBay too, just look.

(3)Dragon 1000GH - Alibaba is filled with Chinese suppliers.

Spondoolies

From my reading of the situation Spondoolies has put out a fair number of units that ship fast and have relatively low numbers of complaints and any complaints are IMMEDIATELY fixed by Spondoolies Tech people. Buy these in stock or when there is a good priced GB. Currently out of stock. June should see more SP10s. September for SP30s. Personally have 2 x SP30s coming from the August GB. 0.69$ per Gh/s for 12 Th/s.

Bitmain S2

Bitmain has quick delivery although you might be in for some hurt if the boards are loosened and bouncing about inside the case during shipping. There are small but significant numbers of damaged units. Repair and replacement is available. Available now. Check for GB's. Prices usually lower. Also check for $400 rebate coupons. I have purchased 2 x S2's and had minor damage from shipping both working at over 1 Th/s. Very solid machine delivered on time and a combined price of around $1.5 per Gh/s for 2 Th/s.

Immediate:

Bitmain

Mid-June:

Spondoolies

Check for Group Buys for either of these fabricators products and you will be even happier:

What Bick said.

Also I have personally have purchased and had a good experience with a Bitmain S2 and a Spondoolies-Tech SP10. As long as you can deal with the noise, the SP10 is my current favorite.

All antminers are in stock in a lot of places with reversible payment methods.
List is upto date, check my links

[techgeek988]

I have bought all my miners through reversible payment methods (just in case they are not delivered). Is anyone aware of any Spondoolies via a reversible payment method? Esp. through an interim site like Amazon or eBay which provide good protection?

No for spondoolies. No refunds as per the post in the GB thread right here:

If I preorder the SP30, will I am able to request a refund before the shipping date?

No

What I have seen though is that they will make you whole if you email them directly at @sales. I have not seen one complaint yet from people on price, etc go unanswered and unrectified to a customers satisfaction in these forums. None!

So no refunds... bad. Satisfied with compensation... good. That is about as good as you can get barring complete refund. If you want to take that up with Spondoolies I bet they will listen but given the other options I not sure that dealing with spondoolies to get "more" if you feel wronged is such a bad thing given the compensation we have seen so far people are very happy dealing with Spondoolies in emails to get compensation. It could change, it could go south as always Caveat Emptor.

www.amazon.com and www.ebay.com lol, I mentioned the names of some sellers with good feedback.
All you have to do is plug them into the search box. There are too many links to post but if you want I can post up a few.

Thanks for the info regarding SCRYPT miners, GAW is a Pre-Order it says June 16th lets see how it goes.
HASHRA 78MH consumption is 2.5KW and the GAW 54MH is 2KW so energy inefficient that is more than most ACs smh.
Cannot wait for some actual units of KNC Titan (300-400 MH) and mini Titan (150-200MH), I just hope KNC delivers this time, atleast they are trying -_-

Will definitely get in touch with Mr. Lee. In touch with a lot of Chinese suppliers for the Dragon miners. The A2 miners are good with power consumption, I heard. Not the biggest fan of paypal, I will ask him if he can take a CC payment or Alipay or something. Can you pm me his contact details if you can. Thanks.
