Digital Bitcoin mining without your own hardware. Higher risk — read the caveat.
Digital Bitcoin mining without your own hardware
Buy digital miners (NFT hashrate) and receive daily BTC payouts. An accessible alternative to owning hardware, but returns depend on BTC price, difficulty and service fees.
Mining returns are not guaranteed and can be negative; treat this as high-risk.

For ASIC miners, a unit that arrives dead must be reported within three days, with video evidence. Outside that, return shipping is at your own cost and the manufacturer's warranty terms apply.

Eleven hardware wallet brands, shipped from Nijmegen
Web shop run by Aurum Novum I B.V. in Nijmegen, which also trades as Cryptomaan: eleven hardware wallet brands from €59 to €359, plus metal seed backups, books, nodes and accessories. Note the difference with BTC Direct Europe B.V., the broker holding the MiCAR authorisation from the AFM — that is a separate legal entity. A shop selling devices does not need that authorisation and does not hold it.
Almost every item is listed as ‘new stock: 1-10 working days’, so same-day dispatch only applies to what is physically in stock. And once the seal on a hardware wallet is broken, returns are excluded.
