After it was clear there was no future and the monotony of warranty repair had worn me down, I quit ASIC Master. After the treatment I received for not spending more time on our new paying customer, there was simply no reason to stay. I decades of being an electronics technician I have never been told to stop speaking to a customer. This is when I learned what a hobby business was. Now I am a freelance ASIC repair instructor who does repair only on the side. I can be found on LinkedIn.

The writing was on the wall, you have a small company with a few repair folks, and then out of a sudden Bitmain sends out a couple of hundred thousand 17 series, 40-50% of them failed within a few weeks/months, they all needed repair at the same time, orders start coming in, you don't want to reject repair tickets, you keep bringing in more gears than you can repair, and then ka-boom.

You need up with dozen gears on the shelves, and thousands of angry clients as well as workers, a year later, that gear is worth little to nothing, no worth fixing, a complete mess created by Bitmain and made worse by all the greedy and incompetent repair centers, this isn't just ASIC Master, it's safe to assume that 90% of those repair companies made the same exact mistake.

I am also now trying out an association with Scott Offord. He has a five seat Wisconsin training center, I'll be teaching in(on site is my preference though). Also, if you have an S19 repair order with him, it will likely be me doing the work. And yes, his bots likely got him in trouble(if it was something else I'm all ears). Perhaps an admin could take a look at his account.

Good to hear you have patterned with Scott, we did all we could to lift the ban on his account, but alas, these things take forever to happen.
