Topic: Avalon 7 (Read 22547 times)
I'm confused. What is with this "The shop is new" talk? Does this have something to do with Canaan's acquisition a few months ago? The company has been on and off the asic production scene for a long time; Avalon 6's were not difficult to get a hold of. So what's going on?
I am still efforting to get payment other then bank. I guess this is all about the new ownership.

No wonder this miner's not having good sales- one payment option that doesn't work for most people and a rushed 16nm chip with efficiency that barely beats the S7's. Not sure what Canaan is doing right now, they're digging themselves into a hole. Not like many people were going to buy this miner if they accepted BTC and other methods anyways. They're losing money either way, I would've preferred a better thought out miner and payment plan than this mess.
Well at least amazon and newegg send me gpus fast. I get 1 2 and 3 year warranties on the gear and I have a long return policy.
Not that I do this but I could order parts for an entire rig and return it to amazon in late Jan say it failed. And get a refund.
This is driving alt coins big time and hurting btc it has been happening since March about 7 months.
I have had more luck with alts then btc this year.

Has anyone been able to pay for the A721 with anything other than bank transfer?
I guess not. Phil didn't get a green light for his paypal proposal yet and btc payment has been a no go.I simply can not understand why Canaan is this way stabbing their own knee.
I will get an answer on Monday about paypal.
My request for any alternate payment method was politely denied.
Code:
right now our shop is new and we are only offering bank transfer for payment right now until we get the basics down.
As was mine
Sad as all this just pushes me to GPU mining of Alts.

They will sell only to big company or a person with a lot of money. They will probably lose a lot of sell. Strange call!

Yes one of the grounds is for the GPU's Sense connector to tell that "hey I'am a connected cable".
And as I said in most cases there is 3x +12V pins.
Official standard though indeed declares that one pin as an empty connection.
I haven't personally seen this in any PSUs but it is possible to find this situation.
My picture is for most cases, it is not the standard.

The issue that I was taking with your 6-pin depiction was the listing of 3x COM.And as I said in most cases there is 3x +12V pins.

The sense in the GPU is grounded and when that circuit so closes, the GPU knows that I got a cable.
You are right though that if we are totally official we should call it sense.

Interesting, I've never seen a PCI-E 6-pin connector that only used 2 wires though.
On the other hand, I stick with high quality PS that don't scrimp....

I think you misunderstand. The 6-pin connector only has two +12V lines according to the standard.On the other hand, I stick with high quality PS that don't scrimp....

So in most cases there is 3x +12V and 3x COM pins.
This is the case for most PSUs:
The official standard declares the pin number 2 as a "no connection".

PCIe 6-pin spec only requires two wires for power; 8-pin requires all 3. If you're only using 18AWG wire (which most consumer PSUs do), 150W is a practical upperbound for a 3-hots 6-pin.
