Thats pretty whack. I still have about 950 spare AUCs from my inital Avalon 741 order. Guess its good to have back stock if they arent going to give out many. It seems extra messed up because its forcing you to buy their overpriced RPi to get AUCs. Their controllers are even worse because they come in a metal housing that badly overheats in a warm datacenter environment.
edit: What the fuck is going on? $129 for an RPi you can get all day long from amazon for $35, why would anyone pay that much?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
edit2: $50 for an AUC3? These cost Canaan under $2 piece to produce. These prices are criminal.

I see more stock for the AVALON 821 (SHIPPING 3/26-4/6) batches now. But... $2900? Is Canaan fucking high?? Bitcoin is basically at $6000 and they want to charge $2800 for 1 asic miner? Now it's getting a little ridiculous in pricing. I understand when miners are high when bitcoin is high, but this is just brain dead marketing now.
Seriously?
Well they should still provide enough AUCs depending on the order quantity, if not then the idea doesn't make any sense at all.

That was my point, I need 2. So I have to add an extra 100$ + shipping.
Price will be coming down on these shortly, cannan changed strategy, so demand for AUC will be lower, therefore increase supply, and we can reduce cost. should have plenty in a few weeks.
Thanks for info !

What about price of miners?

I emailed Canaan to find out about the AUC's.
Essentially they've changed the way they are packaging the equipment. The 821's will come with a 5 pin cable.
The controllers will ship out with 4 AUC's.
Make sense for them seeing as they've designed the miners to only need 4 AUC for every 20 Avalons.
Edit- corrected # of AUC required, and number of AUC's included with a controller

Where did you get the 821? Blokforge ships the AUC with each order
"This product contains: 1 X AvalonMiner 821, 1 X AUC3 I2C 5PIN Cable, 1 X Micro-usb cable."
Well this is confusing, maybe they told me it wasn't 1 for 1 anymore but I will receive the 2 for the units I bought but from the next statement, I assume I need to buy them now. (March batch)
This is the answer I got from them => "Canaan used to include AUC with every miner, but no longer will. "

Any time frame for the restock of the AUC3 for the A821 ?
I don't need a pie, just 2 AUC.
Thanks

Are you looking for a AUC compatible with older model AvalonMiner, like maybe Avalon6?
Since older model AUCs are little hard to find, you could go with this method.
HOW TO RUN THE AVALON 6 MINER WITHOUT AN AUC2 CONVERTER?

This method uses the IIC interface of the Raspberry Pi directly.
The A821 comes with a AUC3 included.

Which I find greedy as hell for a 2-4K miner ...

Hi there,
What's the advantage over the S9? The Avalon 821 is slower, around the same power consumption/TH, and is quiet a bit more expensive than the S9 even when you factor in a 2-3 week earlier ship date.
Can someone fill me in? Thanks!
Also for me, I can fit 2 1200 watt units on each circuit in my shop but 2 S9's would use too much power to be on the same circuit. That could be a major consideration for some people. Also (with the 741's anyways) they are quieter, put off less heat, are extremely reliable, and hash above what they are rated at (My 741 hashes at 7.7, but is rated for 7.3). Pure speed isn't always the only thing that is important. What's the advantage over the S9?

FWIW the Canaan miners are also much quieter. I run six 741s and they are quieter than the two S9s they replaced.
Makes sense. thanks for the reply
ps, they look nicer also. seems more compact.

I think easier to manage as well but that could just be the cleaner design. It's a toss up. S9 gets better $$ for sure.. but if a board goes down on it within 2-6months and you have to send it back to china and be piss out of the miner for repair for 1-2months you have to figure if that is worth it over spending a little bit more, but then running for a year + and no issues for a avalon miner in general. It's USUALLY, key word "USUALLY", better to buy products when it comes to mining IMO based off longterm reliability and roi. My 741's might have been doing half the hash rate of a s9 the past few months, but in that time frame my friends s9's has had 2/10 fail to the point of needing repairs and I believe some chips or a board or something fried to lower the TH/S on a couple others now. Besides the loss of profit, it was a miserable headache to get the work done on them, he wound up ebaying them as is and ordering new ones. My avalons on the other hand, have been running flawlessly since and we both got them at same time (knock on wood).

Literally just reliability. S9 is better in every way except quality control and reliability. Boards go bad much more often and sooner than the avalon miners. That's at least, why I use avalons over bitmain miners.

Just a heads up!
Noticed the site today restocked the 821s
Both the February and March batch. Looks like there are 8 left of the feb batch and 6 left of the March batch.
Just wanted to let you all know --might be a few of you still trying to score! Only wire transfer or crypto payments though. Not sure if they're still allowing CC to US customers for purchases under 3k...
