if you think you can do better there are many open sources that you can improve on and where you could make your contribution.
that would be a worthwhile suggestion if my 25 year contribution wasn't already out there.
as for Canaan's shipments, we just have to compliment them on the excellent logistical work they are doing with thousands of orders in a short time!
you may compliment them if you like. i found the 22 email "updates" each containing excuses like "we were on holiday" or "we will do better this week", not to be compliment worthy. for me, they fell more into the underwhelming category. i'll save my compliments for people who keep or exceed the promises they make. companies that already have a successful manufacturing and distribution network, but choose to launch a new product on a crowdfunding platform where late delivery excuses are the norm, are not in a category that warrants compliments from me.
- the shipping logistics are sub-par.
- shipping devices that all have the same factory root password in 2024 is lazy at best, willfully negligent is more likely.
- a "factory reset" that does not reset the pool configuration is sub-par.
- the firmware's tendency to change or corrupt the root password frequently, is unacceptably sub-par. i've had both of mine for a week. their credentials have each become corrupted 3 times in that short timespan. that's just pathetic.
- when i buy a device that has an ssh server set up and running on it from the very first boot, i want to have access to the credentials that ssh server accepts and i want to be able to lock people who are not me, out of that device which i own and which runs on my network. i don't want unknown persons to retain valid credentials for that device. nano 3s are shipped with a running ssh server whose credentials are not provided in the device documentation. there is no conceivable explanation for this arrangement that puts canaan in a positive light
i have no praise for anyone who delivers sub-par, but as i said, anyone can compliment them if they're happy to spend their money on sub-par.
i think deliberate mischief on canaan's part is unlikely. my own experience of these devices is that a higher than acceptable amount of stupidity went into their production. i agree with hanlon. they're not malicious, they're stupid.
well, i think this might be currently being abused. my units was hashing for months just fine. i have it at a cousins house. it went down 3 days ago, but i was traveling and wasn't able to get to it quickly. i had them power cycle it to see if that fixed it but it didn't do anything. finally was able to check on it today and the miner had completely different pool credentials.
LTC:LRpX79sC9o8DVRoDX5PUtKY65pw6VZ8LeS.av6
stratum+tcp://sha256.unmineable.com:3333
i would never mine litecoin and never used unmineable. it seems like they have 130 TH/s of SHA256 hash online and get paid out in LTC. not sure if that's 2 individual "regular" mining rigs that are hacked or if there's a 30-80 hacked nano 3's out there & the hash is being grouped together.
the worker name on my unit was change to "av6". the one's on the unmineable page are av1 and av4
i had always kept the default password as root/root. but when i tried logging in via the IP address, it did not work. i was able to change the pool info in the app but could not get access via the IP to reset the password. so I did a factory reset & also changed the default password.
I had to factory reset it twice, after one of the factory resets, the credentials somehow went back to the LTC address above & mineable pool, despite me entering my pool info to braiins. above after i tried changing the password. at first i thought maybe it was some sort of bot but after reading the posts, maybe it could have 'retained' the bad pool info & re-corrupted the password.
in any case, this is wild stuff. if you have this rig, you should definitely check your miners & we need to make this a bigger deal to canaan.
