FAQs about Pangolinminer and Whatsminer

Hey everyone, it's Bill from the Pangolinminer team. So, I stumbled upon some negative feedback regarding Pangolinminer and Whatsminer today. We’ve been pretty swamped with selling our new miners, which is why we haven’t responded sooner. I’d like to clear up some confusion and share more about Whatsminer. Feel free to ask me anything about Whatsminer, and I’ll do my best to answer. We’re also planning a livestream to showcase the miner, and if needed, we might send some units to members here for testing and reviews. (Might not be free, but we’re looking for folks who can give us good feedback in this community.) But there are a few topics we won’t discuss: 1. Anything related to BITMAIN. 2. Details about product development (like new tapeouts, etc.). 3. Specific individuals within the company. Before I dive in, I want to clarify a couple of things. 1. Whatsminer isn’t the same as Antminer, but our engineer comes from BITMAIN. 2. Pangolinminer is a shareholder in the Whatsminer company and handles overseas sales.

It's a bit late in china now, i will come back tomorrow. If you guys have any question, please let me know. I will check it and try to answer you tomorrow BTW, for those new to this topic. You can go to www.pangolinminer.com for finding out more about Whatsminer. Briefly, the specs will be like below Hashpower : 11.5~12.0th/s Power Consumption : 1800~2100W Price is around 1k USD. And it look very similar to Antminer. You can see below the video from us. https://youtu.be/M4of-rFbptA

I'd be happy to buy one and do a thorough review. I sent you e-mail to sales@pangolinminer.com

Would love to take you up on that offer. But I'll need a 110v power supply.

@ Pangolinminer: One person here I highly recommend as a reviewer is philipma1957. He has done several high-quality reviews, has exceeding good Trust and would be an excellent person to contact.

Yeah, it would be great if Phil is also interested in making a review.

Yes, many of us would trust a review from philipma1957 and/or HaggsFin.

We sealed the deal today with Pangolinminer and one Whatsminer 11.5 Th/s miner with power supply is on the way. Should take about a week for it to arrive here in Finland.

Can wait for your review. Please keep us posted on the progress.

Keep us updated, love to hear about new miners and more obscure miners too. Price looks very good, would consider buying one if things look smooth. Glad to hear you guys at Pangolin actually gave out a review sample instead of just posting a buy link like most vaporware companies.

Hello Guys, We will also invite philipma1957 for evaluating our products.

Thank you I just got a pm. I will send you  my address in  moment or two.  I would like to read the thread. Read the thread.  Lots of good names here. I will review it. I did a few videos on youtube for other gear. I would be happy to add yours. On this site and on youtube. This is the youtube it shows how to build a soundproof setup to mine with an avalon https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-K1Sokgy3-4CdV_uZF8ubw?view_as=subscriber I will put this miner in the same sound proof tunnel and discuss pros and cons of it. Plus post a thread here.

This is great! Thank you Phil for joining, two reviews are better than one. I just got today the tracking number for DHL, so it should be about a week and I have the miner.

@ Pangolinminer, Some of us are interested in your GPU miner too: http://pangolinminer.com/index_eth.html What motherboard does it use? Could you send one for review by philipma1957 or HaggsFin or other trusted members?

I did do a review on the original panda miner  about jan of 2018. I am now reviewing some empty motherboards . I would not mind reviewing your complete solution for gpu mining.

Sounds like double fun  Would be great.

Hopefully he replies to my pm.

Got a hunch they will. Since you also mine alts, query: Ballpark opinion on what their scrypt miner specs sound like vs DIY? Time traveling again are ya?

I sent their sales team an email and have been waiting to hear back. I can attest to the quality of the M1 miner which seems to be the same miner as the M3. The efficiency is worse than an S9 but I suspect with availability and this lower price that you’d still do just fine with an M3.

Considering the fact that the Pangolin miners are based off of the older 28nm process I'm actually quite surprised there's still room for improvement in ASICs. Of course efficiency's going to be lower than the S9 on an older node but if these guys deliver by chance it's going to be pretty nice. Hope 14nm is great from these guys too if their 28nm miner is actually legit.
