Why would I buy from Itop, when Bitmain is selling them direct for $1000.00 cheaper? And even @ Bitmain price of $2307 + $75 shipping to USA...

It would take 122 days to ROI WITHOUT POWER COSTS NOR DIFFICULTY INCREASE. Add in power costs (approx 1/2 of daily earnings) and difficulty, This device WILL NEVER ROI.

Run away! You are throwing good money after bad on this folks.

You would Totally ROI on free electricity, why do you FUD so? Tongue

I'll just stick to S5 however.

The bigger thing I think besides paying more is the warranty. They have not answered my question how someone who is not a official seller can promise same warranty as manufacture - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1152746.msg12169075#msg12169075

Well he says they charge more to offer better customer services. So he says the same warranty is held by them by holding extra funds to replace damaged stuff. I don't know how they can be sure they wont run out of stock however...

Like the controller there is one per unit. I just don't see them having a ton of extra unit's. But I could be wrong.

And like bitmain warranty service there is a ticket system, phone number, email, US team, China Team. I just don't see how Itop can say they have same as that level. And to say they have better service then a almost 24 hour system.

They can offer different... but same seems to push to sound like official reseller and they are not. Again I could be crazy. I just think they need to list their TOS for warranty and make it clear they are not official and not the same warranty.

yeah and do you think that 1k justifies this "better" customer service and local warranty? i dont think it really does.. to each their own though, im sure itop has sold plenty

I am still trying to get them to say like warranty not same as - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1152746.msg12177661#msg12177661 they seem slow on request.... so I really don't see the better customer service.

Were talking a small company. They have not shown more then 1 miner in a picture so we don't know stock, or parts they have.

I think them saying "better" customer service is something hard to gauge. And as I said before how does a small company beat "And like bitmain warranty service there is a ticket system, phone number, email, US team, China Team. I just don't see how Itop can say they have same as that level. And to say they have better service then a almost 24 hour system. "

I don't see it happening but again I could be wrong.
