About us

A hardware shop that takes crypto

We are a small company in Hamburg that sells new, sealed computer hardware and takes cryptocurrency for it. If you hold coins, this is somewhere to spend them on something you will actually use — not another exchange, not another token.

Why crypto only

Plenty of people hold cryptocurrency. Rather fewer of them have anywhere sensible to spend it — and the places that do take it usually treat it as a novelty bolted onto a card checkout. We wanted to build the opposite: an ordinary hardware shop where paying in coins is the normal path, not the awkward one.

Taking crypto only is what makes that work. A shop that accepts cards as well still pays for card processing, fraud reserves and chargeback exposure on every order, and that cost lands in the shelf price whichever way you choose to pay. We dropped it entirely, so the saving stays where it belongs. On-chain settlement also clears in minutes and cannot be reversed after we have packed and shipped — which is why we can dispatch on the first confirmation instead of holding an order for days.

It costs us something too, and we would rather say so: no card means no impulse buyers, and a checkout that asks people to already own coins. We think it is a fair trade. If you disagree, there are a thousand shops that take Visa.

What we sell

Graphics cards, processors, motherboards, memory, storage, mining gear, cold wallets, complete systems and the boring parts that make them work.

New and sealed, from authorised European distribution. No used stock, no refurbished units sold as new, no grey imports with a warranty that dies at the border — the detail is on where the stock comes from.

Because the stock is EU stock, the 24-month warranty is a real one and we handle it here rather than sending you to a manufacturer.

How we keep it simple

  • No account required. Open one if you want your orders listed; skip it if you do not.
  • No e-mail, at all. No confirmations, no dispatch notices, no newsletter — your order page is the receipt, so keep the link.
  • No analytics and no ad trackers. Fewer moving parts, faster pages.
  • We do not sell or share customer data. It is not a line of business we are in.
  • We declare customs accurately. Under-declaring voids your insurance, and it is your name on the import.

The mechanics behind each of these are in the privacy policy, which lists the actual cookies and tables rather than describing a shop we would like to be.

How we got here

  1. It started as a side operation

    Two of us were building mining rigs and buying cards in volume. Paying suppliers was easy; getting paid by other builders, in 2021, was not.

  2. Card processing kept getting in the way

    Two acquirers dropped us inside a year — not for fraud, but because "mining hardware" sits in a risk category their models dislike. Meanwhile our customers were already asking whether they could just send coins.

  3. Crypto-only turned out to be the point

    What began as the only option left became the reason people came: somewhere to turn coins into hardware, priced without a processor taking a cut of every order.

  4. Now: 11 people and a warehouse

    Still small, still in Hamburg, still shipping every parcel ourselves. Big enough to hold stock and honour a warranty; small enough that the person who packs your order can tell you what is in it.

The company behind the shop

CryptoHardware is the trading name of Kernhardt Systems GmbH, registered at Amtsgericht Hamburg under HRB 184522. We are a registered German company with a VAT number, a WEEE registration and a packaging registration — the full set is on the legal notice.

We mention it because paying a stranger in crypto is a fair thing to be cautious about. You are buying from a registered company you can look up, with a VAT number, a warehouse and a 24-month warranty behind it — not from an address on a forum. That is what makes the rest of the site worth trusting.
