FAQ: Buy ASIC miners, shipping, statutory warranty, PV mining, electricity costs – all answers about Bitcoin mining hardware in Germany, Austria & Switzerland

Common questions before buying

  • How fast is delivery? Stocked units leave our warehouse in Bavaria within 2–4 business days; different lead times are stated per item.
  • Are there customs fees? No. The hardware is already imported into Germany and you receive an invoice showing VAT.
  • Is there a warranty? New miners are covered by statutory warranty; used units are tested and shipped with a logged hashrate.
  • Can businesses buy net? Yes. With a valid EU VAT ID we invoice at 0 % under reverse charge.
  • How loud is a miner? Air-cooled units run at 70–75 dB. For living spaces, Bitcoin heaters such as the Avalon Q are suitable.
  • What power connection do I need? Usually 230 V on a dedicated, properly fused circuit; units above 3.5 kW need an adequately rated feed.

Questions about operation

A miner needs a wired LAN connection, a pool account and a wallet address. Setup takes a few minutes through the web interface, and on request we configure the unit before shipping. For continuous operation the key points are dust-free intake air, unobstructed exhaust and cleaning every six months.

For alternative firmware such as Braiins OS please read our separate notice — changing firmware can affect any warranty claims you may have against the manufacturer and is done at your own risk.
