Seriously it is true.

Why cant someone be criticising the Avalon? I had this experience and I am def not out to hurt Canaan.

I do own exactly 2 of these miners. And it is my experience. Some things you say are completely untrue.

Calling me a troll and a hire, seriously. Getting posts deleted and stuff. Ehh?!

It seem to be yourself that is biased if anyone. The long lead.time is absolutely true as I inquired about buying their new model and they recommended me to order already 3 months in advance.

I do keep an open mind about the A1066 and look forward to hear how people experience this machine.

off topic the thread is not on the new model it is on the a1066 pro

at first you had 1 model
then it became 2 models.

So I detected multiple critical points that are not consistent.
As for reliability the four I own are reliable.

I have 90 day screen shots of them. They had outages only when my whole farm was turned down for cleaning and maintenance .

Show me real evidence you had constant down time on your 1 now 2 units. Or leave the thread alone. I notice you are plugging the s19 hard on the bitmain thread.

My Avalons all have been very good in a room under 35c temp 35 c = 95f

So if the room is under 35c it should be good.

when the rooms were warmer then that temp they did have issues.

When I get these I will test them in a room at about 90f or less.

My 2x 1041a beta models have worked non stop for quite a while I don't remember but close to a year. edit I Looked it up JULY 2019 so 8 good months runtime.

My 2x 1066 non pro have worked non stop for 4 months they are in Clifton NJ In a warm room over 80f most of the time but under 95 f most of the time.

I kept the trolling posts below. His info is wrong they do not have a long lead time and have gear in stock as type.
At first he claims 1 bad unit.
He then claims 2 different bad models.

If someone is out to get or hurt canaan hiring trolls is but one idea.

It is obvious that all asic builders will have a tough time. My belief is this person freddy2020 is lying about canaan to hurt sales. Note the bold type.

I also kept hearing how reliable the Avalons etc. So I purchased one to test.

It is a bad miner all around. 6 months old, when the weather is hot and it starts heating up in the data center it keeps going down, waiting for a reset over and over again.

Suddenly it started behaving badly and lost 10-15 % hash rate on average, annoying enough to keep it running rather than send it for repairs.

I sent it off for repairs and onto a very cold hosting location.

Spring is in the air and the Avalon miner have started acting up again, unexplained shutdowns, etc. I have some other associates with the same problems.

This company is a bit of a joke, they are releasing machines very late, they have a very long lead time and also a limited production. on top of that, they also have a higher price

Honestly, I don't understand what they are doing in the market, because they are seriously not competing with anyone that I know about.

If you buy a miner from this company, you better check in hourly that it is actually running or have a good hosting data center that monitors the machine 24/7, because it is like your toting a little baby

For me and my mining operations it is a big nono.

The 1066, sure will be interesting to see if there is a difference

so you tested one but in a later post you claim you tested both models

Interesting, what model did you get? Did you even talk to your distributor or Canaan about it?

I and many others have the exact opposite results. I *used* to run BM gear and up to the s4 they were great, come s5 on up lots of issues culminating with all 4 T9's and 15 S9's I had each losing multiple boards. Initially repair service from Bitmain and then through Denver-based BitmainWarrenty was decent but quickly went to hell in a hand basket.

Switched to Avalons starting with the A721 and have not looked back. Currently running just over 500TH of Avalons ranging from A841's to the A1047's and aside from losing 2 fans on my oldest and now retired 721's ZERO problems.

You will find that the few folks here who did report problems were taken care of quickly and in a professional manner either by the distributor or Canaan directly. The miners are modular and easy to troubleshoot, find the problem and Canaan will get replacement parts right out to you.

Both the last models,

As I mentioned i did send the machines on service.

Switched to Avalons and never looked back? even if their service is great what difference does it make? it doesn't change the facts on the table.
Any mining company will replace and repair things in a fast and good manner.

I understand that maybe I had a bad experience with some machines, similar to your bad experience with Bitmain.

Canaan is overpriced, has a long lead time, low stock and is not a competitive brand at the moment.

. I know this is not true. so i deleted your post.

My lone t17+ has a dead board.

More then 3 others have bad t17+ units.

So far it is an unreliable miner.

So the question is how reliable is the a1066 pro well we hope to find out when we get the samples.

Avalons have tended to work well over the years.

based on the above it is $196 more expensive than a T17+ at the same speed, and 500W more(ish) (realistically only 300).

I understand it is good to have competitors as it will advantage us as buyers with better prices, but same speed for more money and watts, why?

are they long-lasting?

'The right to privacy matters'

Buysolar, myself and another member may be getting some test models of the a1066 pro.

We have been sending emails back and forth with avalon. Steve Mosher is working with us

So far

my 2 A1041 beta models still work fine
my 2 A1066 models work fine.

They have worked well for six + months.

We did get a third one sent from Finland (HaggsFin) an a1041 beta model
US post office lost it for a while and when it came it was a dud as the packing had signs of rough handling.

So I blame the dud on US post office.

I am calling the older gear at 4 good of 4 .

2 A1041's
2 A1066's

The A1066 pro should be more powerful then the A1066
