if it's not scam, then it's a rip off at best case scenario, you going to pay 3100$ for a 44th miner ?

i understand you are in EU zone, so power price is well over 5 cents , you are looking at 1.5 years to roi.

let alone the bad quality these guys are known for.

please do some math before jumping in like that.

First of all, thank you for the answer, I have been years out of anything which can be called ''forum'' and I almost forgot how pleasant is to have the possibility to share experience and opinions with the other online.

Actually i would be to naive to buy at that price from them. Even if Ebang E11 ++ ''seems'' to have and efficiency around 50 J/TH.

My current price of electricity is 0,075 $/kWh for the first year starting from June 2019, so for me the efficiency rate of the hardware is the most important thing at the moment.

McGordy.

No one knows if these units ever shipped to anyone or if there will actually be a delivery on them. I would be checking with Ebang before anything, if for no other reason than to confirm you would have warranty for that gear if purchased through a reseller. Next how did you find these resellers you checked with? if you've never done business with them I would hold off and do more research on them before sending cash. During the last run there were "reseller" popping up every day looking super legit, ripping people off.

Mikeywith makes a great point about the price you were quoted as well. You would be much better off buying any of the current gear out there, even with the pre-order wait times. Check out this list for some gear you might want to take a look at.

So it's clear that I have to do more research about the manufacturers in this sector, and actually the best thing is try to buy directly from them as i understood.

All my doubts are given by the fact i always worked as a middle-man and ''sales manager'' when i used to own my smallish company, but from what i can learn day by day this sector seems to be poor from what concerns the ''entrepreneurial ethics''.

I will use your post as guideline, I don't want to jump to conclusions but seems, apart from Ebang, that my choices are between Innosilicon T3-39/43 and Bitmain S15.

Thanks again for your time guys!
