How to verify ASIC sellers

Scam. They are, without a shred of doubt in my mind, certifiably full of shit. There is zero chance that they have an E9 here in the US and would be willing to sell it to you for $13.2k. At $190/day theoretical yield after crypto’s recent tumble, it’d break even in ~9 weeks or so. I get that it’s an ETH miner, but c’mon.

They’re also showing an L7 9.5 for $10.84k when every legit reseller seems to be asking $23k-$26k - if you can get one. At $10.84k and in the immortal words of Don Vito Corleone, “to what do I owe this . . . generosity?”

I was just trying to do that. The 5111.store seems legit they’re listing it for $29,000 not in stock yet.

Yeah no doubt that’s a load of shit. Lol love the quote. 5111.store has a listed for 29,000 not in stock yet that seems a little more legit.

We’ll be listing it as soon as it comes out. The word is that it will be closer to Q1 or Q2 when it will be released.

Do you resell these?

Bigskyasics.com is our website. We have access to the S19 XP preorders, but no E9’s yet.

Fantastic Aaron! I’m in New York right now visiting my mother until December 13th, then I’m headed to Florida to visit some friends/investors and try to get them on this crazy crypto train with me. Hopefully we can do some business really soon. I don’t have to wait for the E9. I just like the idea of less equipment, less power and more money. I’ve been looking at the S19 Pro 110TH/s. and the S19-XP 140TH/s. Do you have these in stock or will you soon?

Aaron,
You said you run this business out of your house. Are you shipping everything from your house or are these shipping from manufacturer direct to customer?
Thanks

Edit: I see that you ship to the house/shop and test and ship.

For used equipment we receive them first to inspect. For new equipment its shipped direct to the customer. Everything originates in Hong Kong.

@TahoeTrader Yes we have both in stock. The 140th S19 XP is on pre-order first batch ships in July according to Bitmain.

That’s great! I’m open for suggestions. I was looking at the KD box,10 of those would be a pretty good setup. There are so many choices it’s making my brain hurt. I just want the best setup I can get. The only problem I see is the KD box only mines one coin and I’m not sure I like that. That’s why I like the E9, it can mine so many different coins which seems a little safer in the long run. What do you think?

My opinion, personally, is that Kadena is the most promising blockchain being developed. Ethereum on the other hand, I can’t say I see a future in it as a mineable algorithm. The developers of Kadena have made it clear that it will forever be a proof of work blockchain. Not to mention it has the backing of JP Morgan Chase.

For liability reasons I can’t outright recommend it, just as Vosk also has to disclaim “not financial advice”.

Good to know, I understand completely. I appreciate all your help and advice.

Aaron,
Any chance you will be getting any AntMiner D7s when they come back in stock? I’m looking for about 10 of them.

For 10 1157gh D7s I can offer them for $13,500 each. 12/2/21.

you still have any KDboxes? I am looking for one around the $5000 price point @Aaron_Raycove

@Aaron_Raycove nevermind, just had a chance to get on your site and saw you were asking $9600. Wasnt trying to low ball…

Hey Aaron, have you ever heard of Global Sources? I’m not sure if this is a scam site or not. They’ve got a ton of products on a pretty big website. It looks legit, but prices seem a little off. Let me know what you think brother, thanks. Patrick


@TahoeTrader Kd5’s MoQ of 1 (minimum order quantity) for $18,500 when they retail for near $65,000 to $75,000. Unfortunately I have to say its likely a scam.

Globalsources.com is much like Alibaba.com they are websites to connect you with suppliers. These sites don’t screen all sellers extensively, and many shady companies slip through the cracks. Also a common technique is to advertise a low price then hit you with a larger price when you inquire. However it’s very easy to get ripped off, without an agent in China there’s no way to properly vet the companies on here.

anything priced like that is either a scam, or a bait price to get you to contact them … plain and simple
