I'm in for a bulk buy depending on the cost. I'm thinking of doing 2 maybe 4.

Too expensive and unknown in terms of security. But maybe in time he will pay for itself. So it's better to buy not a new one but a supported one, it will somehow help reduce risks.

Umm... Anyone know what this is in reply to

Does anyone have a picture of what it looks like without the housing?

Hmm I thought about if I got some to build a custom loop. Maybe custom drill some aluminum and order some ek parts for the loop.

Depending on the size of the chips maybe the new threadripper cpu blocks

I was asking the other day why I haven't seen any watercooled options. I get that it might be a little difficult to set up, but if you could make it work...

Well the fins on the avalons look like these from the A1 miner (Dragon clone) I got from AMT
so could be easy to bend some copper tubing into loops and press between the fins on the existing sinks...


Hmmm... I need a better idea of what the whole things looks like, but you could find a way to extend those fins to sit in a very shallow pool of cycling water. Better heat transmission applying the water directly to a larger area of the heat sinks. Obviously... water + electricity = danger... but there are always ways.

On that eBay thing....
With Canaan now offering miners-by-the-pallet I assume that the Resellers is who they are targeting along with large miners.

If that's the case (resellers) then would be nice if Canaan worked with them as Authorized Distributors ya know? Do a little Brand Marketing with them? Let the resellers make their markup and handle the holding stock/holding it/reshipping/etc costs -- AND -- allow for customers of the Authorized resellers to have the normal Factory Warranty.

That rather is how it works no?  Wink

edit: They are built like a tank Cheesy Only weak point is that it is air-cooled and has a fan that *will* fail eventually. To be honest -- since the Avalons use just 4 monolithic heatsinks (1 on each side of each board) these could be lairly easily changed to liquid cooling.... Hmm....

I think they have solved the customer service/ordering problem.

No more orders are possible for less than 60 units!

Who's in for a bulk buy?

I'm in! But only for 1 of the three controllers.   Cheesy

I was rather impressed as the sink fins have tiny fins. Nice touch which doubles the surface area with virtually no change in air resistance..

I'm #89619.... nothing yet.

Decided to take the money I was going to use for the order and invest in a few different cryptos. Made some stupid mistakes on how to get money into my wallet and ended up paying way too much in fees.

Luckily, I'm currently +$80 after making back all the fees.
Cool. However, as I and others have said a lot here: Love the miners but the ordering back-end of their biz after placing the order well... Leaves a lot to be desired and I gather each order is verified/vetted/checked against stock ready to be shipped/etc manually before they send the BTC amount due and address.

End result is that it *will* get done.
  Eventually.
Longest I've waited was the last batch, ordered Aug 8 and got the canned order conf invoice and bit about Wire info (despite making it clear am using BTC when I ordered...) was about a week before they asked us 'still want?' and another 1-2 days before they sent the info. Shorted time I've waited was in Feb?, only 2-3 days before I got the amount due/address.

Er?

They really need to get a decent accounting/stock status/web-ordering biz software.... Been available for decades, ya know?



I hear ya there... I certainly hope it does not take weeks. If there happened to be a Canaan.io employee reading this thread and wanted a random order number to expedite, MY ORDER IS #89619!


Honestly, they seem like a normal company that has faced explosive growth due to a very popular line of products. Unfortunately, it has resulted in their issues with order and production backlog. Hopefully the only negative will be the slow process and wait. I am hoping they don't develop the problems Bitmain is experiencing with quality (S9 and R4)...

The only thing worse than waiting months for a miner is waiting months for a miner and then having it quickly die.

So in the end it's a patience game if you want the best price possible.

If you want immediacy go to eBay and pay the premium price. Without the warranty.

I'm willing to wait some time just for the payment option and if I get back ordered a few weeks that's fine

Somebody who placed order on 31th August also paid for the order? Mine are #90193 and #90832.


No, and I'm #89374.

I'm 89356 and i have not received a payment addy yet, but thats ok. As long as they get one to me within a week i'll be alright. Their products are so much higher quality than BITMAIN... i'll wait patiently.

It's the quality I'm looking for. The hash power of the S9 is nice, but problems are not so good.
I'm replacing my last 2 S7's and where I would normally have had S9's, I'm going for Avalons.
I only read good things about them so I'm sure the wait will be worth it.

They run better and they break less.  easier to clean and you can wait far longer to clean them.

I just cleaned all my gear  and after 8 months the 721's were not dirty the s-9's were filthy.

Yeah I complained a lot about my aug 6th order  but I still put in an order on august 31st.

Well I'm at least 500 after you so I'm gonna have to wait a while if you haven't managed to pay yet.
With today's technology still find this strange regarding payment with eCommerce and all.
My first order with Canaan so a long wait it is.

It's a small company

Do you believe they had over 2000 units in stock? I think they had about 300 units. I suspect everything will be backordered.

I suspect there is out of 3000 orders place of which of 1200 are legit. Even I have duplicates I can't cancel yet
I think they have around 600-1000 available

Just personal guessing

I wouldnt doubt it. They have alot of stock, the issue was not available product. The issue according to Steve from Canaan is that they did not have enough product stocked in their consumer warehouse in HK. Their main commercial warehouse is in beijing if i am not mistaken. Hopefully they have worked out the availability issue.
