My only issue if it takes 3-4 weeks to get a BTC payment address is that I am just sitting with $10k in Bitcoin that I plan to use for paying for the Avalon... If I weren't about to purchase the miners, I wouldn't be worried about short term fluctuations... but the reality is Bitcoin could take 30% the day that I need to make payment of ~$800/unit...


I'm in the same boat as you. It is extremely uncomfortable especially with what happened this weekend. I lost 2k but it is gradually going back up. Its just part of it lol.

Geeezzz.....I'm surprised at how quiet these are...
As compared to the s9/t9, ja noticeable improvement, mainly no annoying siren-effect caused by the fan blades being just a few mm away from a wall of small vertical heat sink fins. Still far from quiet at default speed but much more of a typical fast fan sound and whooshing. As I've commented before, amazing what paying attention to minimizing turbulent airflow can do to reduce noise and fan power needed. Do remember that these only use 1 fan vs 2 on the s9/t9.

An other news, got the miner I ordered on Aug 8th today. Hashing happily away here at home until I move it to the inspection room at work. That rather depends on how quiet it is set to -2 vs the undervolted/underclocked s7 I want to replace...

On the HP power connectors, if you are referring to the 2 sets of large gold connector pads it really does not matter if all power is drawn off of one set. The pcb power planes and pads can take it just fine but -- if easy to split the load across the 2 sets of pads go for it.

Reality is they are still likely next units to go out even if Bitmain announced a batch tonight... I bet it could take 2 months to get through the Avalon backlog based on people in the 89300 range still not having a BTC address but very little info from Canaan on timing

Roughly how long will you guys think on receiving btc address for 31 Aug order......i have to order and yet to receive any response from support. I had an order for July and just cancel it off....how stupid of me after reading the problem they are facing. Thought they just ignore my July order or I have miss something.

I do have a question guys....the PSU I'm using, a 1200w from HP, has 10 6 pin connectors.  Does it matter which of the 5 on each side I use....

Pending orders for Aug 31st batch

#89374  Snow_Dragon
#89619  Didley1JT
#89842  flameruk
#90193 Logan4el
#90679 Marzanna


lol  Grin No need for such a list. My order is #75834(from 13.08.2017) and I'm waiting for BTC address update(because the first has expired) since 28.08. Even before the last batch has been ready for sale.


Is it safe to assume orders will be processed in order (ie., according to order id, ascending) ? 

my orders 90120. after that I wrote a letter  #92931. on my orders came the wrong account. another order #63498 (Huh??) was specified and another quantity (more than two times). given the numbers, the guys need to process at least 3000 letters and orders. how long is this time? difficult Vor.I know that everything will be fine and the "canaan" will do everything right

Has anyone received a btc address for the August 31st orders?

The right question could be "Will anyone receive a btc address?".
And if you have read some of the past few pages the answer is:
YES you will eventually get it. As repeatedly said here before this address delay is typical for Canaan.

I was merely wondering if btc addresses have even begun being sent out.

I really dont understand why they dont automate this, its crazy to think that some dude is sitting there generating new btc address and update order tickets

I started a group buy topic
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2147123.new#new

As I stated in it, I'm fairly new to the forums so I don't have to be the one to organize it completely,  id actually rather someone more well known to help lol

I would run a group buy    I have done them  last feb 2016

but they were out of san fran- usa  not  hong kong -china

60 for 43000 + 2000 + 1500 = 46500

 this is 775.

  I am in NJ ,USA

 reship  would be 25 to 50 in usa

maybe 125 to europe

so
 800-825  in the USA
900 in  europe

I can build rasp pi's  for 65

so  do the math

825 usa no rasp pi
900 europe no rasp pi


890 with a rasp pi usa

965 with a rasp pi europe


those are break even numbers > 

 I am not a greedy pig  and would not mark up  like ebay

but I would want to earn some money  as it is a lot of work.

we also run into  btc price up price  down issues.

I certainly  won't be doing  it  until  Sept 12th  or later.  I may write a thread  in group buy section on tues the 5th  once my aug 6 unit comes in.




Phillip if you are doing a group buy,  send me a mail  at [email protected]

I will do something special for you and the guys here.

I need to check on some details, but hit me up



It seems the priority for Canaan will be on the big orders... So sad for all of us, who are waiting for weeks just for BTC address... For almost a week after the last batch, I have not seen even a single guy to post here, on FB or Twitter, that he has received payment details(BTC address). Not a single guy!

my august 6th order  is due tomorrow.
my august 31st order does not have a btc address.

the group buy while it has attracted attention and has about 82 units or more has not reached the stage of exact pricing and it may never get off the ground.
my email talks with steve are moving along in the right direction but have not fully solidified.

I will see what happens with it but frankly it is really hard to buy gear for btc mining.

I'm sure everyone myself included appreciates the work you are putting in, who knows what will happen first. Half of us have orders in so maybe we get an address, or maybe they do what they did to you in August and jump a few people and try and get the 60 units sold. Either way thanks for trying to get us a 2nd option, in an industry that doesn't provide many. Personally I'm still rooting for my original order as I'm sure it will be a bit cheaper considering the reship from the US to Canada.



philipma --- I am definitely in for 20 units at the moment if you are still planning on doing the group buy.

my plans may change a bit here in the next couple of days (we might just try and purchase the 60 units directly). But please keep me posted on the group buy if that does have a chance of happening.
