Reading this thread leads me to the following suggestion ..
How about we ask the 'mods' to stickie a new thread in "hardware"
that lists all the hardware vendors that have been duly "vetted" by
the community ?? By "vetted" I mean an equipment vendor
that has infact delivered product .. It should include vendors for
SHA-256 and Scrypt miners .. The list can be edited going forward as new vendors
are vetted or old ones no longer qualify .. It would be a useful resource for
the thread regulars and anyone looking to buy equipment from proven suppliers
without having to spend days weeding thru the forums to get reliable info ..
Just an idea ..
Triff ..
That is an excellent suggestion form someone who is thinking of solutions. CTS Miner is certainly not "vetted", because they have shipped nothing. I just happen to think they will. Although I reserve the right to change my mind at ANY time.
KNC was not vetted until people actually started receiving hardware. Once they did, then all the people who played it safe, placed their orders. The people who took a risk were rewarded. This is a risk, and hopefully I will be rewarded and not totally shafted.
