Hey guys, I want to get into Bitcoin mining but I can't find any ASIC miners. Help!

Before you jump in, make sure you're ready for the noise and heat. These machines guzzle power, like over 3kW each. So ask yourself: do you have cheap electricity? Can you keep them cool with good airflow? And the last one, can you handle the loudness without annoying your neighbors?

Exactly, those factors are the real deal before even thinking about the budget or where to buy.

If you're good on all those fronts, I can share some places to buy ASICs. Just be careful with some vendors who are sketchy. Check out this list:

Big prices from some, so watch out.

Doing your homework on brokers is key to avoid scams. Had a good run with KaboomRacks last time. They’re legit, found them on Twitter too.

Lol right, like some newbie finding them on Alibaba or something where it's all banned now...

A lot of folks are flocking to eBay and Amazon for ASICs, but the prices are through the roof. Bitmain's official site sometimes has better deals.

But even eBay and Amazon? Those could be faulty too, just like Alibaba. Most miners are sold out on official sites anyways.

#11 Aug 12, 2024, 12:12 AM Not sure about your sources but I got scammed searching for a lower price. Learned to buy from trusted places now, snagged about 40 ASICs, mostly new.

#15 Aug 13, 2024, 08:12 PM Really? Just check the guy’s product list, looks like he copied it all. Ugh, scammers can just disappear.
