Avoid purchasing from this company… I purchased a Goldshell Doge Miner in July and it arrived in an unusable condition.
After sending hundreds of emails to both Goldshell and Asicmarketplace with both companies refusing to accept responsibility, I am left with a useless expensive aluminium box and $1,200 USD out of pocket.
Companies in China do not operate to the same professional standard as the rest of the world so I would advise anyone to avoid these companies and only purchase from European or American Companies where a warranty is honoured and any faulty item is exchanged.
I removed my original negative feedback from here under the illusion that this problem was going to be resolved… dishonesty knows no bounds with these companies!

Brett - What’s the issue that you’re having? Is it a function of the mini-DOGE not hashing or is it a power supply issue? If the power supply, this is easily remedied (though at an extra cost to you if the vendor or Goldshell won’t honor the warranty). If not the power supply, does the miner power up or not? If it does, did you check your ethernet connection? If ethernet connection is good (I had problems with a defective Cat6 cable once), did you try to upload the latest firmware? Some basic questions, but . . .

Brett, … did you check the network switch? that can easy be replaced, did you check the firmware? that caused problems to many of us, did you check if there are any loos items inside the device before you turned it on for the firast time? had a loose heatsink that could be glued for only a few bucks.

If you want good custom service you may think twice before you buy from China. But think about, probably all the mining devices come (came) from China. No matter who is selling it.

Unfortunately Yes, Almost all computer chips are manufactured in eastern Asia. Which means all the asics are also assembled over there as well. Given the political climate in china, from slave labor to talks of war, its uncertain to say whether or not that will be the case a decade from now. Even if a US company could start producing computer chips here, there’s absolutely no way they could compete on price since China uses forced(slave) labor in a lot of the manufacturing sector. Free labor makes up for extra shipping costs hands down.

Hello, how has the hardware worked out?

So far so good I’ve been running it for two days now with no issues

Hey everyone! New to the forum. If anyone reads this I’d love to join the discord. So if you can share a link I’d appreciate it!

Stumbled here as I’m looking to buy some KD-box miners as my first experience in mining and I’m looking where to buy. It’s sold out on gold shell. So y’all have any other trustworthy recommendations?

I’ve seen asicmarketplace but I really haven’t seen any trustworthy reviews. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This user also created his account the same day he’s commenting, beware!

I see a lot of ambiguity with AsicMarketplace, not enough information. They change prices when you place an order, they also add shipping costs but have it all over their website that shipping is free… Shady to say the least… Need a lot more information, and now after reading all the fake reviews made here by brand new users and also on TrustPilot, I wont be making my test order with them, sorry guys can’t vouch for them at all! I’d even suggest staying away

I know this place looks shady I can personally say I purchased from them and received my miner about a week from ordering. I felt the same way and took a chance and ordered anyway, pay almost double the price from what goldshell was selling them for which I think was around $750 usd but I pay 1300 for mine. I felt robbed as I purchased it but I wasn’t sure if goldshelll was going to have any In stock so I took a chance.

Here is where I am at with asicmarketplace. On sept 2,21 my wired payment was received for a mini doge miner. The miner was received about a week later, in good condition and is currently mining. I ordered the mini doge as a test to see if they were a valid company.

So the next step was to order a Bitman S19J, what I really wanted. The order was placed on Sept 29, money wired on sept 30th. Unfortunately oct 1-7 was a national Chinese holiday. And my funds were not acknowledged to of been received until oct 12th. It is Oct 15th and still the order is labeled as processing. This delay seriously puts in doubt whether they will be used again.

When/if it arrives I’ll update this post

Did your order ship yet? I placed an order on sept 29th and it still shows processing.

Hey Dudes, I’m looking for a Bitmain Antminer S17 should I wait for asicminermarketplace to restock, or does anyone recommend another company to order from I would like not to pay more than $2,500 if possible.

Thanks

Still waiting, but expected shipping date is end of october. Will post once received (or not received)

Just recieved an email notice that as of today, Oct 19 2021, the miner has shipped.
