Where did you buy your nano3s from?

…just reposting this in case you don’t get notified of my response to weareallsatoshi.

I should have mentioned this in the post. There is a scam site that looks VERY legit. It allows you to choose different models of various hash rates. Nano 3 only comes in the 4TH/s model. That’s how I finally figured out the scam site was too good to be true.
The real Canaan site had lots of links to social media, including their telegram channel.
After shipping and handling, I paid $160 per unit to Ohio, USA.

I was thinking to buy one for my wife.
She's always complaining that is cold and want something to warm her feet. So one of these under her desk will be a fix.
reply
To be honest with you, the heating element has been the part that didn’t really meet my expectations. If you’re used to the blazing heat of an industrial miner, this is WAY more mild. It definitely pumps out heat, but you may either want to get her a couple or just use one of the crypto cloaks conversion kits for an old Bitmain model.
reply
Yes I want only for heating a single room.
So you think and old S9 with a nice box will be much better?
reply
I just ran this by my wife, who has one in her sewing room, and she says a single Nano 3 is warm enough if the primary concern is keeping her feet warm under the desk.
reply
It would be significantly warmer. I have an s9 without the box in my garage. It’s ugly and loud as hell, but that makes sense in that environment. I’ve never used the ones that use the crypto cloak thing, but if they aren’t under locked, they should be really warm.
Maybe the best bet is three or four Nano 3s? The upfront cost would be more, but you’d actually have enough hash and efficient enough hash that it’d start paying it off and heating her room for free.

Sincerely I am not interested in a ROI or to balance the cost of electricity with the earning sats.
I am more interested in warming my wife feet 😂😂😂 so she can shut up, meanwhile I am paying the same money for heating I am paying now.
As far I can see and calculated, I would pay around 10k-12k sats/month just to warm wife feet. So with a 4T hash rate I could make like 7-8k sats/month. It means I still have to put from my own pocket 2-5k sats/mo.
Keeping in mind that right now I am paying the same 10-12k sats/mo but nothing in return.
Am I right with my assumptions?
reply
Yeah, I think you are.

Awesome, thank you!
