Price for 821s on Blokforge is $3600.

I just don’t get it. S9 all the way, I guess.

Wait until Bitmain releases the next batch...it won't be nearly as cheap.

Yeah right, I bet they release tonight at $2400. Just to undercut all presale with canaan

I feel like Canaan regrouped to make Bitmain look better. LOL!

Cryptouniverse.at selling bundles and single 821`s today...preorder and pretty stiff pricing. But got me one anyway:)

Joskor

If we get charged $3450 in the US with a PSU it's still pretty high. I'd like to pay at the most $3k.

Agreed. I want to assume they would be in the $25-2800 range but after seeing what crypto-universe charged... wind has been taking out of my sails a bit. Hopefully we hear some details today.

I like Blokforge. But I won’t order any Canaan products anymore.

I was quoted $2880 for a discounted Avalon 821 that I might receieve in March.(most likely I’d get three emails of delays notifications and then a refund)

$4000 for a 11TH asic miner lmfao. Smoking crack I see. So... more money.. for a product that generates LESS money than the competitors... a year ago. Yea, sure. I'd rather buy up a bunch of 741's than pay $4000 for a miner that is essentially mildly better than the 741.

The mining game has mostly been for the ones that can write off a business expense or worse, launder funds into buying miners. That is why you get those crazy 'never ROI' prices.
They aren't paying straight out of their hard earned pocket money like most people hoping to do here.

With the recent boom in bitcoin price all the old shennanigans are back

So what you're saying, is that those people are doing it "correctly". Write-off the miner expense, duh!

nah it's a bit more underhanded or you wouldn't see these prices.. someone can easily add a few miners as 'servers' as part of $200k budget where it should of only been $150k or less to get the job done. even without mining many people spend way more than what's needed on equipment since it isn't an exact science on capacity rollouts.

Basically creative theft.. I wouldn't bring this up here but all this talk about double the price of ROI makes it come up again

If what you describe is true (which I don't think), then it would be theft, not money laundering or writing off business expenses. Considering how most of the time these companies only accept cryptocurrency or wire transfers I don't see how this would be feasible. I could see over-ordering servers for cryptonight mining, but when you are ordering 150k worth of equipment, then suddenly wiring $50k to China, that raises red flags

Can blockforge reply and let us know the details on controller? If we have a controller currently running 741's.. can we just plug in the 821's and it'll work fine and recognize or do we need to buy a seperate new controller and run the 821's off them alone?

I was just looking at their webpage where it says "payment". About halfway down on the right side of the page.

I would bet that they are doing an update on their webpage, and the other forms of payments should come back up? Steam may be right in that they want to save a few bucks on the transaction fees from PP/CC.

Hey, that could be good for us as they are trying to lower the listed price as much as possible???

Ah, yeah, I see that too... But if you actually go to Checkout with something in the cart, those no longer show. Well we'll see soon enough I suppose.

Thanks for the pointout.

I am still seeing PayPal, and Stripe as forms of payments on their website.

What did you put in the cart? I added one of the only things I could find in stock, the controller for the Avalons and I only see BTC and wire.

Yeah not sure if that's a permanent switch or just for these small batches. I would say from their perspective it cuts down on PayPal and credit card fees.

Did this just change recently or did I just miss it before? Looks like the only forms of payment on their site as of now is either BTC or wire transfer - doesn't matter if you are in the US or not.

How does one get in on the "forum run" of the new 821s?

You have to know the secret pass phrase. A link will be provided at a random point in time (in this thread by Blokforge themselves), from now until Friday. You then must stand on your left foot while entering in the pass phrase "Mecca Lecca High Mecca Hiney Ho". If you are in the first ten to do this, (YOU'RE) IN!

Edit: Grammar Embarrassed

For a second there I thought you were going to tell him the real pass phrase

I think right now the premium is more based on getting the miners in hand, as opposed to waiting a couple of months; and it doesn't look like their were a lot of 821's released for this early batch between all the distributors.

I think the business model with Canaan has changed to allow the distributors more flexibility in setting their prices. Probably why you don't see the individual price on Canaan's page for the 821 in the way that you saw the 741 price.

So we'll just have to wait and see what they come up with for a price; either way we'll all know soon enough.
