I want to start out with 4 741's then progress from there. I missed the pre-order sale on cryptouniverse today but I live in the US so Blokforge should have the same pre-order sale soon. I have heard great things about the reliability of the Avalons. How has your experience been so far?

Good.
2 of the units have been running nonstop since september and 2 since november.
No a single issue so far.

That's a great set up, with nice results so far, which mining pool do you mine with?

Incredible setup. Thank you for sharing your results with running those miners non-stop.

Just wondering why you never touched Bitmain's S9 Antminers when it is obviously more profitable (Bitmain's 13.5-14 TH at 1200watts vs Canaan's 7.3 TH at 110 watts)? Don't get me wrong i'm not telling you what to do or anything like that, i'm just curious about what you think.

I was under the impression that the 741's are no longer available to buy from distributors or canaan.

That's probably accurate. The new a761 and a8 series are supposed to be rolling out in 4-6 weeks (end of January they say, but they're always late).

They're a little underwhelming, honestly. Off the top of my head they're 9ish and 11t respectively. The new units from Ebit look a lot more exciting. E9++ and E10. The first one is 10nm running at 18t and I dunno about the other one. They're already available for pre-order. I'm getting mine for 32000CNY each.

I've only run Canaan machines up until now, but I'm definitely ready to move up!

0.46 btc since september, most of it already invested back in the venture with pre-orders (just ordered a couple more 741s from cryptouniverse december batch).

Nice! It's always encouraging to see results from enthusiasts, rather than just the large corporate mining operations. Which pool are you on?

Free electricity

"Free" as in rent-subsidized, I assume?

Anyway, earlier this year I rejoined the game and purchased a couple of Avalon 741, then a couple more a month later ... and now I am glad I made that decision.

How much BTC have you mined since? Do you think that Avalon 741 is better than Antminer S9 regarding the price/quality ratio (or rather regarding price/efficiency ratio)?

I have a few more Avalon units to be shipped in that December batch, and just recently purchased a few Whatsminer M3 units (March batch).

Please keep us updated. There are very few posts in the Mining section recently although many people around the world are interested in this kind of information.

I am running the miners off 240V 30amp lines.

Nice photos. 500 views in 5 days without sharing to the imgur community means there is an interest.

Do you pay a lot for electricity with all those miners running?

I never used the S9. But the decision to buy the Avalon 741 was based on the fact that it was easier to purchase, and all the reviews here said it was way more reliable than the s9 units.

What site did you buy the 741's from?

Hello,

Like a lot of other users, I've spent most of my time on this forum as guest user, but decided to create a user today to be more active.

I've been mining since 2013, started with a couple GPU rigs, mined a few LTC and Mintcoin (did it go to the moon ? lol) back in those days and sold the rigs a few months later when BTC was trading for $700, I believe ?

Follow some pictures of the setup I have going. The miners are blowing the heat inside the warehouse, which is around 15000sf, so the heat just dissipates. Even if it didnt, its winter now so it would work either way.

are you mining LTC on GPU?

I was, back in 2013 / 2014. Now I am only mining BTC at the moment.

As I read it, he is no longer is doing any GPU mining, and only using Avalon A7xx Bitcoin mining hardware.

Correct.
