Thank you for the offer Xian01 but that is not a comparison of a miner that is equivalent in specs to what we are offering. The (40) A1 chips can be over clocked "Turbo mode". They are designed to go up to 1600GH/s.

When you say designed to go up to 1600GH, do you mean you have a working unit at 1.6TH or is this just hypothetical. SHILL

If Antminer sells a miner that has the technical specifications to go all the way up to 1.6TH/s in one box then we will be happy to sell for $1 less than their offered price. I know this is a hard decision for people who are looking for the absolute best deal on the market....

No this is absolutely not a hard decision for anyone in the market. SHILL

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.

Have you actually bought something from china and/or had an RMA? I've had several items shipped to the USA and arrive within 2 days. SHILL

"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.

You are an embarrassment. You think anyone calling you out on your massive failure/shit-talking makes them a shill? SHILL

News flash: not everyone needs shills to promote their company. Bitmain does it just by having a good product at a good price. You should try it. SHILL

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!!!

If xian was a shill for bitmain wouldn't his company already have built miners?

Not sure why the prejudice against the Chinese. In my experience, communication with Chinese companies has far surpassed American ones.

A1 chips have been available for more than 6 months. Why is it that every other company could build miners in 1-3 months but you took 6 (assuming you've even built one yourself yet) SHILL

Feedback is much appreciated so we can refine our business to meet customers' needs.

My serious suggestion, call it quits and end this venture. Your company has demonstrated extreme incompetence that could even surpass BFL and HF. Your company is completely out of touch with the market and/or are just constantly lying. SHILL This is absurd!!! You are such a SHILLSHILLSHILL and a really big ugly TROLL!!! What bridge do you live under jimmothy?
