Safe buying guide

How to buy an ASIC safely in 2026

Before paying hundreds or thousands for an ASIC miner, verify the seller, hardware, payment path, installation constraints and after-sales terms. Use these 10 checks.

1. Verify the seller and the official domain

Start by checking that you are on the domain announced by the seller and that contact, terms of sale and legal-information pages are accessible and consistent.

For VoltASIC, the official domain is voltasic.com. Official external profiles are grouped in the Trust Center.

2. Confirm the exact model and specifications

ASICs with similar names can have very different power draw, voltage requirements or performance. Verify the exact reference, nominal hashrate, power consumption, voltage and installation constraints.

When a manufacturer source is available, compare it with the commercial listing.

3. For used hardware, ask for recent evidence

A chassis photo is not enough. When possible, request recent operating evidence showing hashrate, detected hashboards, temperatures and overall condition. Known history, serial number and detailed photos also help assess the unit.

See the used ASIC buying guide.

4. Calculate the total cost before paying

The machine price may not be the final cost. Depending on destination, include freight, VAT or sales taxes, import duties, brokerage and electrical installation where applicable.

A seller should explain what is included in the total and what remains payable by the recipient.

5. Check the electrical installation first

A modern ASIC can draw several kilowatts continuously. Confirm required voltage, available power, circuit protection, cabling and ventilation capacity before choosing the machine.

Use the VoltASIC calculator to estimate electricity consumption from nominal power.

6. Secure the payment

The payment should be linked to a clearly identified order. For crypto payments, verify the asset, network and address before sending. Blockchain transactions are generally irreversible.

Never give a seed phrase or private key to a seller. VoltASIC does not request them to verify incoming payments.

7. Check delivery conditions

Before payment, verify the announced dispatch time, transport method, insurance, signature requirement and how tracking will be provided.

At delivery, photograph visible package damage before opening and keep the packaging if a transport claim is needed.

8. Read warranty, returns and support terms

Warranty and return conditions should not be discovered only after a problem occurs. Review the terms for new or used hardware and the diagnostic/RMA process before ordering.

Use the Trust Center and Support Center to find the relevant policies.

9. Be cautious with profitability promises

ASIC revenue depends on network conditions, difficulty, rewards, asset price, fees and electricity cost. A point-in-time estimate is not guaranteed income.

Compare operating-cost scenarios before buying instead of relying on a return promise.

10. Keep transaction evidence

Archive the product listing, order summary, important communications, payment evidence, tracking and delivery photos. These records make later verification or support much easier.

For VoltASIC orders, use only the coordinates and references communicated from the official domain.
