I followed their group in telegrams, and there was information that this ASIC will be able to mine Ethereum until a certain time in August or September 2021, because they have limited memory for DAG.
I left this group because the manufacturer decided not to sell these ASICs.
Before making a prepayment, it is better to check the information in official sources.
That was with the 4k machines. What I thought I was ordering was an 8k machine which they were talking about extending the mining time.
Also, I gave the real factory my email address and asked them to notify me if a machine came available on the next run.
You are absolutely correct. I was STUPID not to check with the factory first before buying. But then again, their own web page SUCKS
so it's really hard to tell what's really going on with these machines.
I hell, I didn't even roll the dice. I just tossed them in the trash with this stupid move.
