There are two types available now. One's brand new, the other looks refurbished. When I picked up mine, they were all fresh from the factory. Seems like it depends on the production line and what they have in stock.

Are you looking at used ones or new? Innosilicon has a fresh batch of T2T miners on their site. I know a guy who’s using several and swears by them. I prefer new gear for efficiency and the warranty. Just got some T2T…

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.

True, but I’ve bought a bunch from them recently without issues. Seems like I got lucky this time. With BTC down, I’ve noticed rig prices dropping too.

The one I found pretty useful is Ningbo Zanboo International Trading Co., Ltd. Their contact, Tracy, really helped me avoid some dodgy miners and had good prices on S19J and A10 Pro+. Also, Shenzhen Changcheng…

I've had some luck with Alibaba. Prices fluctuate a lot with BTC value. When BTC dips, miners do too, and vice versa. But beware, the secondary market can be a bit sketchy since a lot of sellers come from mining farms.…

I’ve got 20 of the S19J 100/104s. They can be a bit temperamental had a couple of reboots but only one PSU failed on me. Knock on wood, that’s not too bad. Others have had worse luck, so I count myself fortunate.

We started mining personally but soon formed an LLC. A couple of things to think about: 1. Section 179 deduction is a big deal, seriously. 2. Miner insurance is a must. Business liability is hard to find, but property…

But if BTC tanks to $8K, the gear's value drops too. It could be riskier than just holding BTC.

Bitcoin's been on a tear this year, and a lot of folks think it could hit $150K before the year wraps up. Is that even realistic or just a bunch of noise?

Talked to some hosts in green spots like Iceland and Canada, and they’re all full. It’s tough for smaller miners! Let’s hope El Salvador opens up fast.

I hope they hurry up, we need colo facilities for miners of all sizes. Big players might swoop in and take over if they move quickly.

Also, don’t forget, these miners are used, likely from some Chinese hosting farm. You need to factor in cleaning them too, because you sure don’t wanna dump a dirty miner into your immersion setup. Plus, have an ASIC…
