L3+ is reliable at the moment, with pretty consistent returns. I think the S9 will earning will come down a tad from next year, but still better than that pos D3 **spit**

Can't stress that enough
 
Well just got a mail back, somehow $1000 for a L3+ with PSU with free shipping.. seems a little suspect lol
 
So Alibaba has a thing called Trade Assurance, sounds similar to Gumtree's Sherperd payment. Basically covers buyers to build up reputation.

Also have an option to send out requests to all sellers of what you are looking for.

Needless to say, sent request for one unit with more in the near future

I can tell you off hand a lot, if not most of the guys on Ali, is going to tell you they don't deal with TA, and will only accept wire transfer a la Western Union, etc. I had a long fight with most all of them at the time, and didn't come out on top.

You have a certain level of assurance with wire transfers like that, and to be honest, I don't feel this is an issue. As long as it is an Ali-verified vendor, and a physical inspection has been done on premise, etc., then you should be good to go.

This is not RSA, they not out to shaft everyone around every second turn.
 
Thanks for the heads up, the ones that seem to tick all the boxes are asking $2000 a unit. Same price as Bitmain though stock on hand

Ebay is big against Western Union and direct transfers and won't cover you for anything but PayPal. Usually it's a big red flag, but don't know the Alibaba market in that sense. I've only bought through AliExpress.

Yeah AliExpress is good too, bought some stuff, and usual delay aside, been good.
 
AliExpress is a little on the expensive side. Well with miners it is, not sure about the rest

Yes - no bargains there. Other stuff can be cheap - if you don't mind waiting you can buy phone covers for $2 including shipping... don't ask how lol.

Thoughts on BTCChina for LTC pool mining?

So been running for around 12 hours, and quick mathemematics puts me at just over R195- against Altcoin price. Not disappointed. Will check what the 24-hour mark gives me.
 
Looks like a beast!

Not bad, with Litecoinpool it shows my last 24 hours as R417 (at R4999) so not so much between the two.
