I thought I would add this in here for anyone in the EU who decides to get a bitaxe at some point.

So, initially, I had been looking around this list to find the EU-based companies

https://bitaxe.org/buy

Picking one took a while because a lot of them are hit and miss on there product descriptions, so I had to sent out emails and make sure I knew what was included.

The cheapest offer by far for a gamma was on Bitronics
https://bitronics.store/product/bitaxe-gamma/

But they never responded to any mail, their inbuilt mail form doesn't work, and I couldn't find a company profile on socials.

Best I found was the npub of the CEO on nostr

Also, I didn't receive a response.

So while some other people said they ordered from them without issue, I don't want to spend a few hundred Euros and be left in limbo.

Eventually, after a bit more back and forth, I settled on https://solomining.de/
Prices looked good, and the kit came with everything included, including VAT. They answered my email very quickly to clarify. I know nothing about mining and don't want to mess things up.

While digging about, I also found a 10% discount code on nostr (wantclue) via this guy

Now hopefully, I actually get my order, at which point I will post a noob update here
