I’m curious if there’s a complete list of mining hardware providers out there. Like Bitmain and others. Anyone know of a good source?

Not really, not a solid one anyway. But there are some legit sellers. My guy in my signature has a bunch of suppliers.

What’s the deal with your guy? Is he US-based? I need a reliable source for BTC miners.

Yeah he’s based in the USA. Good for anyone looking for miners over here. He carries a variety.

Can you post that link? Trying to check out some options.

Sure, it’s altairtech.io. They have different miners listed, both commercial and home types. Pretty decent selection.

Awesome, thanks! Got any specific models you recommend?

Depends on what you’re looking at. The T21 is solid if you want decent TH/s for the price.

How does the T21 compare to others in its class? Is it efficient?

#10Dec 29, 2021, 10:27 PM It’s pretty efficient. In colder conditions, I get around 61 TH at about 987 watts. Not bad, right?

#11Dec 30, 2021, 03:49 AM What price range are we talking about for that T21?

#12Dec 30, 2021, 05:06 AM If you’re comparing it to Avalon’s offerings, I’d say around 800 shipped would be a fair price.

#13Dec 30, 2021, 05:56 AM A little steep but might be worth it. What’s the math like for profit on that?

#14Dec 30, 2021, 08:58 AM Well, if BTC stays around current prices, I calculated about 224 days to break even based on current earnings.

#15Dec 30, 2021, 10:54 AM Are you factoring in power costs? I know that can eat into profits.

#16Dec 30, 2021, 02:51 PM Of course, if you get free power, then both the Avalon and T21 can be good choices.

#17Dec 30, 2021, 07:30 PM Got it. Just to clarify though, can you mine anything other than BTC with the T21?

#18Dec 30, 2021, 09:05 PM You can also mine other coins, but BTC is where the real value is. I’ll send you a PM to discuss the sale.

#19Dec 30, 2021, 11:20 PM Sounds good, what payment methods do you take?

I can do PayPal, but friends and family works best for no fees.
