has anyone purchased from https://shop.canaan.io/? also, can anyone suggest some reliable vendors? I'm thinking of grabbing around 30 or so ASICs, but there's a ton of scam sites out there. I'm mainly looking for the best USD/TH ratio and I’m not too fussed about power consumption, which is why this shop seems decent.

This has been answered several times over the past few months in different posts so if you would simply take the time to look around this area of the Forum you would find that yes, that is Canaan's official store site...

Can't say I know of any that are Official distributors and as is also true with Bitmain, Innosilicon, and microBT (Whatsminers), you REALLY need to buy ONLY directly from the manufacturer or through any Official distributors that those manufacturers list on their websites. Why? Primary reason is that the miner warranty is valid only with the entity that 1st purchased it from the manufacturer. It is NOT transferable. That means that when buying from some random 3rd party all warranty service MUST be handled through who you bought it from. That is most likely going to be a big problem... Only the Authorized distributors are allowed to have you directly have you get the miner repaired under Warranty though do still have to start the Warranty process with the distributor 1st to keep the paperwork straight. .

The link of the store in the OP is legit and safe. When dealing with online official stores or distributors, pay very close attention to the URLs (So many are just phishing/clone/scam links that end up tricking so many buyers) More of the official distributors 1. https://shop.bitmain.com/product/ 2. https://www.innosilicon.com/ 3. http://www.microbt.com ---> https://www.whatsminer.com/src/views/product.html

If all you care about is $/th then you should not be looking at the official websites, those stuff listed there are always the latest generations, the best $/th are those 5 old years miners, like the S9s and the Avalon 841 and their brothers. If you know which model you actually want, I can help you, also where do you want them to be shipped?

shiped to portugal well not entirly not caring about power becouse even if is free power is not unlimited and i have around 150kva of power to use . and the s9 generation consumes half the power of  new generations  for 14th only plus the shiping fees is amost the same so trying to get some balance here since i plan to drain about 130-140 kva leaving a few marging error for air circulation and lights some advices are welcome

So roughly 120kw, i believe the best balance would be something in the 40-60 w/th, maybe m21s or m20s, each needs about 3.3kw, the m20s is about 62th on average, m21s is 52th on average. So you can squeeze in about 35 of them 35*52 = 1820th or 35*62 = 2170th Of course the m21s will be slightly cheaper , both will consume roughly the same amount of power. Keep in mind those will be used, brand new will be m30s, same power with an average of 82th instead.

Is it the 150kw monthly or daily? Because if its daily the suggestion would be great option but if its monthly basis then you could only run only one miner because the suggested above m21s or m30 will consumed around 100kw every month if you run it 24/7. And take note don't deal to any newbie pretending to be a supplier like the one posted above because the links posted by Bitcoin_Arena don't have other verified distributor or supplier.

so derate to 120 maybe even 115kwatt constant. since it is free but only 115 kwatt you have a few choices. mikeywith mentions  the whatminer 20s i have had bad luck with my whats miners but my asic space gets beastly hot in the summer. you want 35 to 50 watt gear that does not break is your space roomy and can you cool the gear. if you can i would get the whatsminers

Um, welcome to the world of economics? Resellers have to pay for the miner + import taxes/VAT, shipping, etc. + make some money otherwise what's the point? Since you don't live in China that's just how the world works.

I can get a pallet of 24 t15s sent to me in New Jersey for only 4200 which is only 175 a unit. They do 19 th and 1150 watts they would be good for the op but I am sure that by the time they ship to 🇵🇹 Portugal 🇵🇹 Say two per box 📦 They would mark up to 175+175+175=525 with vat of 125 say 650 for 2 and I would make zero dollars to do it. Shipping a pallet  would be complex I would be afraid to try it. I have shipped from NJ to Spain and to Portugal more than a few times. And many times they get held in customs a long time.

hehe funy guy . i bought a few s17 myself from china the seller includes DDP on shiping price 170 USD per unit that means no vat or costumes fees  not that im agains ppl making profit but 3x the price seems kinda overpriced. just hated the s17+ shiping brokes aloot of chips/heatsinks was mess ended up with 1/4 of working machines thats why im trying to avoid bitmain s17+

The logic is indeed correct, but making a 2300$ profit on a $700 investment is unreal, not with the given market condition. OP, you need to make up your mind on what gears do you actually want, that is the first step, the rest is easy, the Chinese resller i deal with provides DDP shipping which takes care of all custom and stuff, if they happen to have the gear you want at the price you like I will connect you both to deal directly.
