Found a couple places to buy one of these Goldshell miners. All seem to be from China. Not sure which vendors are reputable. What vendor did you guys purchase your miners from? Recommendations?
I don’t know about these miners or any of the Chinese companies selling them (I am sure there are a few legit companies willing to sell from China if you’re willing to wait), but I would never buy any miner from any company I wasn’t already familiar with, who sells from the US. Too many companies out there who are either outright scams or will take your payment and make very little effort to ensure you receive a working miner (for instance, if it arrives broken, oh well). Another common scam is to sell miners that aren’t in stock and then make you wait forever since it generally takes 2-4 weeks to get anything from China anyway.
The chances of getting rugged increase exponentially if the only payment they take is bitcoin/crypto. Because the payment is final.
