Hello Xian01, and what happens with your S3's when they have issues and need to RMA'ed? The question is not if BitMainTech will replace your Antminer that has a hardware issue but it is more about logistics.
When you have hardware failures from overclocking, good luck with losing a lot of mining time when you have to wait for your S3 to be shipped back to China, inspected, and then a replacement unit to be shipped back to you. To/From mainland China and the USA + RMA process can easily take 2 weeks.
"Xian" as a handle really does make me think that you are a shill for Antminers in some way. Please stop taking our thread off topic. This thread was started by our customers and for customers only. We can start another thread that just focuses on our prices but it is off-topic for this thread. Hope you can understand and stop your shills here. Plenty of other much bigger competition to Antminer to shill than us. Heck, at this point we are much smaller than most resellers who do not even know how to check the voltages on an A1 chip to see if it is burnt out or not. The resellers can just ship more unstable "A1 clones" and or other dirt cheap Can't-miners though so what do they care.
All we said is that we provide better RMA service and support than others. We are not as cheap as them because we can deliver inside the USA much faster (added value) and we can replace any possible problem units much faster (add-value).
Again, go build your own miners if you think it is so easy! Would love to see you try and report back on this forum so I can waste your time complaining about stuff that is out of your control. We do not make A1 chips nor set the market prices. We do not control the value of BTC or the difficulty. nTek Computers is a small business and we are happy with just having a small amount of customers that are loyal and that we can provide amazing support to. Good luck communicating to China buddy. Or wait you are most likely in China so you have no clue what you are talking about anyways. OFF TOPIC!!!
Don't buy from us if you do not want to, but also please stop being an Antminer shill and saying your not. BECAUSE YOU OBVIOUSLY ARE!!! OFF TOPIC!! Please go away!
Thanks!!!
