Auction Deposits for Bitdeer’s Antminer Machines Accepted in USDT
Deposits to the auction were to be in USDT, with the recommendation that payments be made at least one business day before the payment date so as not to be delayed. This implies that people who were unsuccessful in their attempts would have their deposits fully refunded, though it can take some time.
These were 2,132 of the Antminer S19-95T and 748 of the Antminer S19-90T machines bought and installed between December 2020 and May 2021. However, one ought to understand that these machines do not come with power cords, and there is no warranty or after-sales service. They anticipate dispatching the machines in mid-October 2024, and the buyers can either pick the machines up from the mining farm or make their own arrangements.
Candidates are warned that existing machines may not look like the ones shown in promotional material and that the range’s efficiency may be affected by variables such as the price of cryptocurrencies and network issues. Therefore, necessary research before bidding is advised in order to get a clearer idea of the machines’ performance and reliability.
