Topic: Avalon Nano 3 [unofficial thread] - page 4. (Read 2066 times)

If anyone cares this is the power supply / charger that came with the unit:



It does get nice and warm when running the unit at top speed:



I want to put a kill-a-watt unit on it to see what it's really pulling from the wall but have to run out to take care of some things.

yeah  i should have done that.

Yes, I got the power supply from them. $30 for a 140W USB power brick is not a bad deal.
There are some that are a bit cheaper but not enough to matter.

Not to mention, if something did go wrong or was not working properly, you now have Cannan blaming the adapter and whoever I got the adapter from blaming Canaan.
Buying theirs eliminated that possibility.

Thank you all for the info! I purchased mine in January. Still no tracking info on my indiegogo page - soon hopefully!

I did order them with PSUs.

my order was placed feb 4 . I can sign in and see the order but I can not see any shipping info

Dave did you buy the power supply from them?

I am looking into using a dell

If you ordered through the indiegogo page [I don't know if there is another way] and log into your indiegogo account the tracking information *should* be in there.
Just checked and mine is there. But, I ordered back when they were 1st announced, I don't know if anything changed or later orders are treated differently.

-Dave

says some of the black ones were shipped.

I have no info but my order was feb 2-4

Did you guys get any sort of tracking info? I ordered 2 black ones back in January and just saw yesterday they sent an email saying Black ones were shipping now, but no tracking info or anything from Canaan nor from Indiegogo. Just curious if you guys were just sort of surprised by FedEx or if you were expecting delivery when you got them?

Any coin (sha256) / any pool. You can change it from the app or the web.
The web interface is not as advanced as other Avalon miners, you do not have all the configuration / tweaking options but, the option to change pools is there.

-Dave

Reading the whole thread, I'm unclear. Can anyone tell.me if this is still stuck on braiins or if I can enter my own pools/stratums for any sha256 coin?

Thanks!

Edit; found their telegram and it looks like yes?

Where to order for EU?

thank you. I paid feb 4 so I will likely have to wait a month or so.

Yes : January, 5th

My unit arrived a few days ago and I recently started testing it (just the way it comes out of the box); everything's very positive so far. I'll write one of my typical detailed reviews once I have enough information and experience with it, later this month probably.

In the meantime you can check those out if you haven't already:
[Review] Apollo BTC - Full Node + Miner in a box
[Review] GekkoScience Terminus R909 home miner

I'm also planning to look into ways of tuning mining parameters; whether there's a binary that can take custom parameters or anything like that. There is an SSH server running on the unit, but I couldn't find working credentials yet.

So far, I found out from the log files (and the GUI options) that unlike the only other fully self-contained unit I tested (Apollo BTC), it doesn't seem to be based on a Raspberry Pi / similar 'full' single-board computer, but instead it runs some light Linux distro on a microcontroller. There are mentions of RISC-V in the syslog and there is no 'shutdown' option in the web UI.
The system doesn't act up or have any issues just pulling the power and plugging it back in, which is quite convenient if you want to use it as a space heater in different parts of your home (e.g. shed, basement, anywhere you quickly and temporarily need some warm air). In fact, it boots up and reconnects to WiFi / resumes hashing astonishingly quickly; something that couldn't be said about the Apollo unit.

I really love how compact it is, while having a very respectable hashrate of over 4TH/s. Keep in mind that it only costs $160 shipped, as of today!

In order to be able to have something relatable / baseline, I did get the 'full set' with their PSU, even though I have other high-power USB-C power supplies already. It's passively cooled, so heating up a bit is expected, but compared to USB-C laptop power supplies, I have the feeling that it gets warmer (lower efficiency). Last I checked, it was pulling about 138W from the wall, while showing me 126W on the device's built-in screen.
This results in a roughly estimated efficiency of 90%, which is not excellent, but totally decent for the price and not out of norm. For reference, a high-quality ATX power supply like a Seasonic Prime 850W Platinum tops out at 95% efficiency, but it costs over 200 bucks - more than the price of the whole Avalon Nano 3.

Just keep this in mind if you're calculating running costs, as always, do measure wall power and not just software-reported 'hashboard power'.
In this case we're talking about ~100kWh a year of PSU heat loss (about 10 to 30 bucks in total, depending on your electricity price).

nice do you remember the day you sent the coin in?

Yes, I received the fedex tracking number.
It takes 5 days from china to France
