Topic: BLOKFORGE- Official Canaan Distributor - page 4. (Read 24515 times)
Loved the video - but there is one small problem with the noise comparison:
With the Antminer, your test has the unit venting to the back, with the sound bouncing off the wall.
With the Avalon, your test has the unit venting into the room, with no sound bounce off that same wall.
Not that it matters, but it also twisted my mind a bit, making me confuse the front and back of the Avalon (since mine won't be delivered until Monday I didn't have any points of reference), since you show, and stack, the back of the Avalon to the front of the S9. Your views also start at the back of the Avalon and work towards the front, apparently with the grate removed?
Just wanted to post a "thumbs-up" from a happy customer - fast shipping, great customer service, great email notifications, and very generous back porting of current discounts to prior purchases. Thanks!!! 
My 4 new 841s can't come fast enough....

Great video!
Raises one question for me: Is there a longevity issue with running at +1? I have plenty of power, so that is not an issue for me. Hash is, of course!
@Blokforge .... send y'all an email. Im a bit confused on a few things.
Fed Ex is saying Tuesday, for Minnesota.....
I'm just a little disappointed that Fed-Ex has not received the shipment yet. The label was created on Monday with a Tuesday expected delivery to Fed-Ex, getting my gear here on Friday. Guessing next week now.
Just received the shipping notice from FedEx, Monday it is.

Currently fantasizing about possible reasons why - like some last minute bonus from Canaan in reaction to yesterdays price drop from Bitmain. Might as well think positive!

Yea it boggles my mind how people can complain about prices from a DISTRIBUTOR of a item from overseas. They need to get the inventory from a different country and charge more to make profit and offer customer service for state side transactions of these miners. Something you won't really get from Canaan. I have no issues dealing with blokforge. Literally the best in this business.
[And me. Not even going to complain about the price drop on the Canaan site - because I can't afford 60 of them!
Ok, got a bit of sleep after an all-nighter. Let me expand on this a bit:
I WANT BlokForge's prices to be a bit higher than Canaan's site. Perhaps they get a distributor discount, perhaps significant, perhaps not, but they have to make a profit to stay in business. Plus, by utilizing them I save the (admittedly small) hassles of working with Customs (Fed-Ex does 98% of that work for me), and they include shipping - something they paid for to get the units from China, and something they pay for to get the units to me. Nothing is free, so its only expected their prices will be somewhat higher than whatever Canaan is advertising.
Need some coffee... sorry if that is a bit garbled.
I'm glad you've have had a positive experience with Blokforge. But, I believe we all want to focus on making the most of our delivered hardware so we can make enough to buy more recent hardware. We don't want to be constantly monitoring my placed orders for the next deal. In that case I would join group buys, orders directly from manufacturers, etc. not buying from official distributors.
You are new to this game.. Blok is doing more good than all the the other sellers for the last 4 years combined
If you don't like presells, then just wait and buy what is shipping.
Can I just say WTF are you talking about? 1 post and you know everything? Perhaps you should read back through this thread and see what they have done, both for customers who bought 821's at a ridiculous price, for customers who bought 841's when they were released and then were surprised 2hrs later, and for customers who get consistent email offers from this distributor.
I have nothing but awe for the way they have treated me as a new customer buying my first Avalon in January. They have consistently gone above and beyond - within their means. Nowhere should a customer expect a seller to go out of business for them just because the customer perceives they know everything about a distributor and seller relationship.
Its just fascinating how some people think I guess....

I believe you must've misunderstood my comment, it's on me for a better explanation. Blokforge is a distributor for a product & should be compared to their peers. I know mining hardware is a tough business with sketchy alternatives. However, it's obvious it's transitioning to more reputable options. I want Blokforge to be part of that near future so we all don't just give up as smaller miners and let the big businesses completely control yet another market.
I didn't make it clear in the post, but I would never expect a price match for future batches or clearance sales, just between customer pre-orders prior to their initial delivery. Blokforge wouldn't have offered the $200 coupon if they would, "...go out of business..." because of it. They had to price match the European distributor(Cryptouniverse) since they were likely offered the same discount from Canaan. If you're fortunate like, NotFuzzyWarm and they've revised your order to be the same as or less than their latest promotion for the same batch, that's fantastic! But everyone has not had the same experience, and that easily leads to frustration. As an improvement I'd like for Blokforge to standardize the process, so every pre-order from the same batch receives the same deal and it's clearly communicated through the forums, e-mail, carrier pigeon, etc.

Schweet!!! Just received an email with my tracking number from Blokforge. Bring on the 841's!!!
Ditto. With any luck I'll have them and the rest Friday 
Probably about the same time for me. Arizona to Michigan in a Jiffy!

Which batch have you bought ? All I got is a coupon, bought the March batch at like almost twice as the 841 is at the moment
All I can say is send Blokforge an email asking about your 'early buyer' status and an additional possible discount for it.
Gotta agree with ya. +1 Merit for ya. Perhaps they just have never dealt with buying miner before...
Anywho, ref my latest purchase of 841's with Blockforge due to their active customer support. In short as reward for paying the high initial 821 pricing, I was able to get 2x 841's, 2x Sorcer PSU's, 1 controller w/ 5v wall wart, and 1 AUC3 dongle: all for less than the lower listed price for 2x 841's.
To top it off just got a $200 coupon towards any miner they have in stock inc s9, L3, A3.
All in all, excellent Customer Appreciation and Well Done Blokforge!

I sincerely appreciate the support via forum, email and phone from Blokforge. But, as others have said, why are early bird buyers being penalized for submitting orders and sending money, over late comers just looking because of a deal? There’s a reason well known distributors offer a pre-order, “price match guarantee.” This tactic teaches buyers to wait until the last moment to buy to avoid feeling slighted again, instead of promoting us to order as early into the process as possible.
Recommending people contact Blokforge to plead for something actively marketed to buyers who haven’t already ordered is demoralizing to current customers. I hope they’ll reconsider supporting us as well.
