Gold model miner

Bigkahuna

Am I right in assuming that if I bought a gold model phase 1 from someone that I won't be able to mine with it, (or at least not be able to register it/earn tokens with it), because it is linked to the whitelisted staking account that received the miner originally?

Anyone out there with any knowledge on this? Would be much appreciated. Thanks

do not buy a gold miner. nobody will sell theirs and lose on great rewards.
and yes you will have so many things to worry about its not worth it. the person can clearly just get your earnings

Ernestoxx thanks for getting back. Person selling isn't the person who initially received it I think. They said the link could be disassociated by DN, but that sounded either far fetched or too much of a ball ache. I bought a silver one now. Will the silver be linked to anyone who staked in Phase 2 or will I be ale to register it for organic earnings?

when you stake you get a deeper chain wallet. and then you receive your miner and connect that wallet to your miner.\
if that person that sold it to you gives you that wallet then you are fine. but he has the 12 seed phrase so he can hack you anytime.
i would cancel the order and get a mini.

You can ask the deeper team by contacting them at tech.support@deeper.network if they can change your wallet but i think that is not possible.

Thanks again for the detailed response Ernesto. I just bought a mini. It was advertised as mining enabled. Then after buying I read some other seller description that mentions that not all minis are enabled for mining and to be careful what you buy... how can I check whether the one I just bought is indeed miner ready? I would have thought the mining ability is if anything a firmware thing, so even if the one I have isn't enabled yet then a firmware upgrade could sort this? If not I will have to return my one if it turns out to not be enabled. Thanks again in advance for any insights.
