Ordered five miners with Canaan on Aug 31st.  Exchanged emails with steve and lily about timing.  They were very helpful.  On Aug 15th lily suggested the ditributor would be faster.  I placed an order and emailed miner warez that day.  On the 18th a label was generated.  It shipped on the 19th as five boxes.  FedEx says arrival will be on the 22nd.  My price was same as canaans, shipping reasonable.  I'm in central US and my order number is between 1000 - 1025.

I'm happy with how it has worked out so far.

yep. Down in the ol' Bayou (Louisiana). I ordered just an hour or two after you messaged me last week. Are you in the U.S.?


No I'm in the Great White North, that's 2 people who ordered after me that got their confirmation lol. At least I know they got their money, now here's to hoping they just forgot to update me.

It's funny because I know I ordered the last controller, lol. I wanted 2 so I would have a spare, but there was only 1 so I snatched it up.

If you are still hunting I know the Rasp Pi kits are a decent price, and Philipma1957 has put out some pretty good advice on configuring them, He was going to set up a bunch for the group buy that never was.

Oh, so YOU took my controller... Well, karma I guess...  Cheesy

Phil is hooking me up with a rasp Pi. Should have everything just in time for me to go out of town for business for a week!

Still, feels good to finally be making progress.

give me a btc addy  you control  I will set it to mine at nicehash.  after a day of testing  you can change it a round.

I will mail it on weds.

Hi, MinerWares !

I hope you will read this thread. Why my order was canceled ?  Why you dont answer on e-mails ? When you start working normal ?

ORDER #1102
Your order has been canceled
Order #1102 was canceled because we suspect it is fraudulent and your payment has been refunded .

Steven had addressed this in a post, on the last page it is a shopify issue, they are pretty swamped and are  at least making some progress with orders, if you give them a little time I'm sure they will get back to you.

Nice glad to hear you will be all set. Progress is nice. It does seem most people who have been on here trying for the past few weeks were able to get most of what they wanted.

I'll treat that controller extra special, for yah, if it ever gets here.

In the meantime, I placed an order with the US distributor and have already received a FedEx tracking number (although it doesn't yet pull anything up). Unfortunately, the controllers weren't in stock when I placed that order, so I have to make other arrangements.


Where did you find your tracking number, I haven't received one yet, but have seen later orders with theirs

They sent an email that it had shipped. If you click "view order," it shows the tracking number.

Okay thanks for the update, My order still says that it's not fulfilled, hopefully someone just forgot to update it. Are you in the U.S, I'm wondering if that has had anything to do with who has received tracking info.

Once again could you share your business plan with newbie?

741 costs 926$ shipped to US
Power Consumption about 1220W (I have checked mine with Dell 94% PSU efficiency)
Cost per KW/h 0.1$

Profit per month 105.91$

Theoretical ROI 8.74 months



Who are you asking?

My business plan is this: Start mining and hope to make ROI back as soon as possible. Run miners as long as I can at least break even. Use funds generated to offset power bill and increase mining capacity.

My cost per kWh is around $.86 or .88.

ETA: Just noticed that the US distributor (Miner Warez) raised the price of 741s by $100 since my order. That sucks a bit... Website says a new batch will be available on their website on the 20th, though.


Looks like rule number 1 is out the window.
$100 more than they were  is *meh* and to me still seems on the low end of what from a standard resale business standpoint would be added as markup to a distributors cost. All in all, considering that Amazon and eBay scalpers have been seen to advertise them for over $1k more I'd hardly bitch all things considered. Do keep in mind that miners are not mass-produced on the typical Consumer electronics scale of several hundreds of k to millions of units per-month. They are very much Boutique items and priced as such.

In my biz (industrial lasers) standard markup on components is over 100%. Systems we build sell for well over 200% of component, labor and other overhead costs Cheesy In short, pricing is set by what the market supports.

The good part for us is that because Canaan is at least trying not doing regional exclusive distributorships they (the Official Distributors) will have have to keep that in mind as others are setup. The good old Competition Is Good thing ya know? Wink

Hello Steven , i would like to switch my order to your distributor.  May i have your email? I got a reply from Lily telling me my order are still valid and when i ask roughly when i can get a btc address and do a transfer.....no reply. My order number is 89561 and 89555.

Your best bet is to place the order with the Distributor the next time there stock goes up for sale. This will likely be in a week or 2. Once you are able to do that if you haven't heard from Lily in the mean time, send him an e-mail letting him know you have made other arrangements.

This way if Lily does get your order ready for processing before the new stock arrives you won't have to wait on the distributors stock.

Current distributor doesnt ship to my country. Any advise?

There are companies that offer reship services I've never used one but a quick google search should help you find one. You have a bit of time between now and when the next stock arrives to find the best one for your circumstances.

that's what I did..  shipping address is a transport company, they will send it to me (Europe).
but the order is still "Unfulfilled"

yeah quite high, I expected something in the 30$ range maybe. I was surprised and pleased that they were selling them at the Canaan price. I figure that was because they were getting a break on price by being an official distributor on top of the pallet priceing. Lets hope that price comes down in the future.

That bootstrapping idea Steve was floating out there is now looking like an even better idea.

I left my order from Canaan.io open and hope they can fulfill in due time.

In the meantime, I placed an order with the US distributor and have already received a FedEx tracking number (although it doesn't yet pull anything up). Unfortunately, the controllers weren't in stock when I placed that order, so I have to make other arrangements.

Frustrating process, to be sure. Thanks to Steve for doing what he can to keep us in the loop.
