What do you guys think about this one? Check it out at halongmining.com.
And here’s their demo video: youtube.com/watch?v=SRCsQUyR7_I
Price tag is $1350.
Power supply unit costs $115.
It claims to run at 16TH/s.
Honestly, feels like they just copied the S9 and slapped their logo on it. Not sure how they're getting that 16TH/s speed on the dashboard though...
DragonMint T1 16TH/S from halongmining.com

I'm calling scam on this one, no info anywhere else whatsoever, you don't just make a chip like this out of nothing.
They can easily have a screen shot of slushpool or a copy of the site. You notice that the slush screen never refreshes?
Yea they can easily change data on their webpage :facepalm: i totally forgot on that

Who knows, maybe they can provide a unit for review by Haggsfin/Phillipma/Fuzzy etc?
i know that other new miner company did, and it almost instantly creates credibility.
It does seem quite a cheap price however - that for me has alarm bells ringing if this truly is the worlds most efficient miner!
Adam Back recently came out to support this.......thoughts?
got a link?
https://twitter.com/janbraiins/status/933353805470715904
Jan Braiins (CEO of Slushpool) says the video was taken in his office
Here is Adam Back's tweet:
https://twitter.com/adam3us/status/933348194062360577
Adam Back tweeted that he ordered $200K worth of these. It seems legit.
Site checkout down, you can't complete the order.
The DragonMint 16T is the worlds most efficient Bitcoin miner, operating at 16TH and runs 30% cooler.
30% cooler than sun?
Shipping begins in March 2018.... good news

I know the people that are behind this. I will be getting a demo. With that demo I will run through the complete product. Will keep you all posted.
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/bitcoin-developer-about-take-mining-hardware-industry/
Apparently core developer BTC Drak is involved as well.
Based on the twittersphere, this does look legit. If Adam back is willing to rekt his reputation on it, I'd buy a couple.
Adam confirmed on telegram "It's real"
Bitmain about to get rekt
Hmmm real?? Somehow I feel it isnt real. Just my gut feeling. It looks juz like my s9 lol
Imo, best is to depend on philipma.
I for one would NEVER trust anything read in a crypto blog.
If someone does a detailed hands-on review of it with pictures, etc -- maybe.
Fact is most crypto 'news' sites are simply pay-for-placement PR sites and have nothing to do with real reviews or facts.
I would be really careful at this stage, but I'm willing to give this a chance.
I have proposed them with a thorough review here at the forum.
Let's see if I'm able to buy a demo unit.
Hagssfin, fuzzy, or Phillipma on telegram?
I have proposed this idea to Drak and Adam on telegram as well
I'm on the Telegram, sending you PM now.
