I bought one S15 from this batch to test it out,
not sure if I will have a place for it in long term.  

Maybe my friend who lives in a student apartment can help me out,
if it is not too loud in the low power mode.

But what I've seen in videos so far,
it seems that the psu can be quite loud.

The changelog says following thing about the new MM firmware version -->

I've noticed that the fan speed keeps revving up and down a little,
though I have set it at manual speed 15 %.

Very cool find!

So my inital guess was right.

@philipma1957

That's a great result

Btw I can see in the graphic user interface this thing --> Work Mode - Normal

Is there a way to choose a performance mode in this new firmware version?

Like for example Eco, Normal, Turbo etc.

It seems that the final version of the steel tube case is built differently than the one in the pictures
and power rails are inside the case. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L30Huk-6WNg

Cool, nice and fast shipping. 

Blokforge has them for sale,
but I guess they only take cryptos and bank wire transfer.

Thanks for the great work, jstefanop

I found a great place for the pod.
It is in my kitchen, on top of the fridge.
It was kind of tricky to get the power cord pulled inside the closet where the electrical socket is located,
but I managed to pull it through by using a measuring tape as a tool. 

And I managed to get the wifi working,
so no ethernet cable is needed for my setup.



Occassionally, after some time I'm not able to reach the miner web UI.
But I think the miner network connection to the AP remains ok.

I forgot to look at the pool stats while this happened to me.

I will look more closely at this if it happens again.

It would be interesting to test out the S15 and see the performance,
but I'm not sure if I want to buy one...

VRobb, please keep us updated on your S15 results. 

Their website seems to be up and running again.

Yeah, it seems that you need to have a ICP license
to have a right to operate your China -based  website in China.

This information on their website is new,
it was not visible during the time I posted earlier.

Yeah I'm not sure if there is a typo or few in the A920 technical specs.

Nice digging.

That's a quite simple if-function they have there for the signature check.

And yet another Avalon 9 series model appears in the web shop!

Unfortunately no.

I have asked Steven Mosher (the Head of Sales & Marketing) the very same thing,
but he has not mentioned a release date yet.

You might want to wait and have a look at the new Canaan Creative Mining Warmer when it is available! (also known as model A851H)

It might just be what you are looking for.

Wow, even though I have not heard anything from Cassie,
it seems that they are out there making miners.

Quite interesting!

I can see Fusion Silicon X1, X6 and X7 miner models at their website.

The X6 miner product page is here: http://www.fusionsilicon.com/#/goodsDetails?productId=6

I sent Cassie one more email,
I'll see if I'd get a reply.

Great! Maybe they remembered me mentioning about that in my review.
