The Asic thread

Well currently I'm logging in regularly so Ill also keep an eye out for you.
 
Has anyone bought a miner off Alibaba? I see they are currently running at roughly $1500 a piece.

I have a contact that ships from China, and she keeps sending me the prices and specials they have for various miners, L3+, D3, S9, etc. Prices vary on shipping date, and are usually comparable to Bitmain for the same delivery times. Sooner = more expensive. Never ordered though.
 
As far as I can see they new and in stock, shipping I have no idea about, always says contact supplier.

Will see what they say, worst thing that can happen is they spam my work email :whistle:

See they also have the Innosilicon A4s, originals for a few hundred dollars :wtf:

I'd stay away from those. With them running off of a Pi, I've heard people complain about them dropping network a lot.

I know one had to order batches of 3, so maybe people looking for upgrades.

Though the new one is $4500

Really? That sounds... too good to be true...
*EDIT* I see you said originals... not the efficient latest model I guess. What do they do at what cost regardless? Anyone know? Just curious.

Hmm... what does the Pi do that another piece of hardware can't do - any idea what OS that pi runs? My Pi's are rock solid on the network.

No more info than that, just what I've heard from 3 people I know that run those. I'll try find out exactly what.

Thanks, no rush - I'll google this weekend when I'm back in the land of normal internets.
