Hey folks, I’ve been checking out bitkern.com and I’m considering hosting my ASICs there since their pricing on kw/h looks pretty attractive.
Has anyone had experience with them or knows anything about the company? Is it a legit operation or just another scam? I can’t seem to find any reviews online.
Appreciate any info you can share!
Is BITKERN a trustworthy ASIC hosting option?

I've never used their services myself. However, over the years I've read a few posts on Reddit from users who said they were satisfied with the service (I can't tell if they were real legit users or just chillers tbh).
I quickly did some researches as I know the Swiss legislation, and I can confirm that they are properly registered. So if you have a problem, you could probably take advantage of Swiss consumer protection, which is pretty good.
I don't vouch for them, but seen from a distance, they look legit.
I hope you'll find some real user reviews before making your decision. Good luck!

Never heard of them not so popular but there are some people here on the forum who mention this you can check the link below.
- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5161520.20
It also mentioned in the Deutsch section here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5145391.0
I don't know if they are legit but their account and those who mention it are no longer active here on the forum.
Also, take note that the domain itself soon will expire so better not to use their service.

It seams they are legit, but it weird that they haven't much reviews in internet

Probably because it's not that popular or fewer people use it, but they could be legitimate. It's worth noting that not so many people know about the hosting service, even in the mining forums/communities, as seen in the responses on Reddit.

I got an email and they are hosting at a 100 unit limit if it is your gear.
Since i was looking to do 40 maybe 50 pieces. I am not going to use them.
I think they are legit, But I am not going to really research them so if you want to use them DYOR.
They are asic only.
Sounds good, even if I am surprised that they took care of handling some customer request/support on a Sunday.
I am also curious to know more about them.
I will give them a call tomorrow, and ask some info, will update my message once done
Sharing their answer, I think it can remove many doubts:
Some documents / proofs they linked with the message above:
