Hey there,
Can you post photo of the miner with your forum name and the date. This has become a necessity with all the scams around here. Paypal is a good start, do you accept trusted forum escrow, if the buyer pays the fees?

He can still easily go it alone, but the odds are not in his favor. I'll only speak to Bitcoin, the easiest way to go it alone here would be to mine towards CK solo Pool. Here is a link to the thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=763510.0You can check the alt coin section for ideas on where to mine those coins solo. Awesome Miner isn't a pool, so they may still want to check that out as an option of managing the farm if it won't be accessible through his home network. Good luck |

The only reason you even need 1 computer is to access the controller of the miner. They will each be assigned an IP address once hooked up to your Ethernet. Some people with remote farms have a computer set up there so they can remotely access it to monitor their mine. I haven't done this or had the need for it myself. When you log into the controller this is where you tell the miner what pool/coin to mine. Research this because you will have to have an account setup with whatever pool you are choosing. He can only mine the SHA-256 algorithm coins. A quick google search brought up this site for coin prices. https://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrencyThis is taking you off topic of BTC, so feel free to ask more questions about that in the alt coin section of the forum. Your friend might want to look into miner management software like awesome miner. You can also read through the S9 thread for some of your answers Good luck |

You can definitely run 2 PSU's to power 1 machine. The biggie here is that you only hook up 1 PSU to 1 board, I think that's how it is actually shown on the Canaan site for 741 hook up. If 1 PSU dies only the board it is attached to shuts down. That looks nice! great to see you make use of the server PSUs which can be had pretty cheap on the secondary market
Are you running them on the same circuit in the home or splitting them up? Probably just 13-15amp load right?
You can run them on 1 circuit as long as the circuit is big enough, which all will be if you only have 1 unit. for 110V you can have 1 741 on a 15 amp circuit, or 1 821. 1150w/110v= 10.45A , 1200W/110V= 10.9 If you are going to be running multiple machines I suggest going with 240v circuits. I have been trying for months to get help setting up their new version of AMS. The instructions from their own github are incomplete and I have yet to receive a single answer in their official IRC support channel.
That sucks about the Canaan AMS, but you could look into awesome miner, you pay for it but I've heard good things. I myself don't have the problem of managing that large of an operation... mini mine, lol |

Hey guys, posted this in the AntPool thread, but wanted to share with you guys as well. I have decided to switch pools to SlushPool three days ago, throughout my time on AntPool I kept all of the stats for my income: | Date | Hashrate | BTC difficulty | BTC | | 14.12.2017 | - | 1590896927258 | 0.00458683 | | 15.12.2017 | ~42 TH/s | - | 0.00765807 | | 16.12.2017 | ~42 TH/s | - | 0.00783433 | | 17.12.2017 | ~42 TH/s | - | 0.0080511 | | 18.12.2017 | 40.74 TH/s | 1873105475222 | 0.007267 | | 19.12.2017 | 41.89 TH/s | - | 0.010563606 | | 20.12.2017 | 40.93 TH/s | - | 0.00801721 | | 21.12.2017 | 41.7 TH/s | - | 0.00783261 | | 22.12.2017 | 42.27 TH/s | - | 0.00749809 | | 23.12.2017 | 41.62 TH/s | - | 0.00867202 | | 24.12.2017 | 42.35 TH/s | - | 0.00851488 | | 25.12.2017 | 42.02 TH/s | - | 0.00669819 | | 26.12.2017 | 41.98 TH/s | - | 0.007558254 | | 27.12.2017 | 41.85 TH/s | - | 0.007531699 | | 28.12.2017 | 41.43 TH/s | - | 0.007961783 | | 29.12.2017 | 41.7 TH/s | - | 0.008477448 | | 30.12.2017 | 41.68 TH/s | - | 0.007881523 | | 31.12.2017 | 38.05 TH/s | 1931136454488 | 0.00651293 | | 01.01.2018 | 41.23 TH/s | - | 0.00658068 | | 02.01.2018 | 41.53 TH/s | - | 0.00743069 | | 03.01.2018 | 41.93 TH/s | - | 0.00752624 | | 04.01.2018 | 37.03 TH/s | - | 0.0072694 | | 05.01.2018 | 40.47 TH/s | - | 0.0063245 | | 06.01.2018 | 37.99 TH/s | - | 0.00664168 | | 07.01.2018 | 41.49 TH/s | - | 0.00589908 | | 08.01.2018 | 41.63 TH/s | - | 0.00732839 | | 09.01.2018 | 39.93 TH/s | - | 0.0071378 | | 10.01.2018 | 41.52 TH/s | - | 0.00690108 | | 11.01.2018 | 41.72 TH/s | - | 0.0064799 | | 12.01.2018 | 45.12 TH/s | - | 0.00710947 | | 13.01.2018 | 51.39 TH/s | 2227847638504 | 0.00741469 | | 14.01.2018 | 49.93 TH/s | - | 0.006221 | | 15.01.2018 | 18.29 TH/s | - | 0.002851 |
| 30day | Average Hashrate | Average Daily Yield | | 41.9 | 0.007445011 |
Average TH/s per day isn't available for the first 4 days of mining, but assume it was around 42TH/s. Green is when I was mining BTC, purple was me mining BCH and converting it to BTC on the exchange, usually I did this as soon as I got the BCH transferred to my exchange(linked AntPool to pay it out directly to the exchange I use). My goal, as is of any miner, was to maximize BTC per day. I was mining on AntPool with 3 S9's most of the time, on the evening of the 12th I hooked up another E9+ (9.5 TH/s), which just about compensated for the difficulty increase the next day. I switched to SlushPool after reading these forums, and people giving a figure of AntPool paying about 20% less than Slush and Kano. Unfortunately the first full day mining on Slush (16.01) I got 0.00597, which is the second worst payout I've ever had, the worst came on the (07.01) due to dead ports on AntPool, and me averaging 38 TH/s. But as I've come to understand Slush has a lot more variability, so it was just probably unlucky to hit one of the worst days at the beginning. Wanted to ask if anyone could give their figure on Average Daily Yield per Terahash for the previous month on SlushPool, just to compare. I will make a new chart, for SlushPool this time, and post it in a month, also accounting for difficulty change. That should be enough to account for variability and provide a good comparison between the two pools. It would have been a lot better if you had done it the other way around; my reasoning there is that during December the miner fees in blocks was huge. That is where the real payout difference is noticed. I don't have the exact details but if you check the blocks from 12/20/2017 to 12/25/2017, the size of blocks I think averaged 17.5 or better. that extra 5 BTC per block was a huge bonus, and was a huge help in offsetting difficulty increases. |

He has posted more information regarding his dealings with Halong on the other thread. You can find it by clicking on his profile and going to his only other post.
Keep in mind these are his only 2 posts, and if everything is true, it's nice to try and help everyone out by being transparent.
Either way this whole product scenario has my spidey senses tingling, and until they get out the batches they have taken pre orders for I wouldn't touch it with someone else's 10 foot pole.
EDIT: Sorry misread didn't realize that his first post was in this thread. If there is new information it would be great to see it.

I can't say for sure but I did reach out to Canaan on this when i was thinking of grabbing a few 821's
They answered that the machines ran on different Firmware. Not being super tech savy, I took that to mean grab a second controller. I know that people were able to run 721's and 741's together but that for any firmware updates, the other miners had to be off the chain while it was applied.
I don't know if anyone ran A6's with 721's; as that would be a similar concept.
If it were me I would just get one of the controller off of Blokforge, as I noticed Canaans model for a controller has gone up in price and theirs are less expensive and will do the same thing. I would send them an email first though and just say you want the controller to come loaded with the 821 firmware.

This is the first coin I've ever bought into on speculation, I watched it after its shoot up and thought I grabbed it when it stabilized. Not so much, it's down about half but trending upwards.
The creators have done nothing to help themselves on this with all the provable shit news about them plagiarizing code and the whitepaper. The silver lining is that at it's head sits Justin Sun, who seems to hold some serious cred; and that's still worth banking on in my opinion. Let's just hope moving forward they can become more transparent and trustworthy. In the end I think the idea has a strong foundation and can prove to be a good investment.
Although it has taught me the next time I jump into a low buy coin, I need to do a better job searching through the negative news.

It kinda depends on what your plans are.
I don't think you will find anyone who is going to sell you BTC at a low enough price for you to benefit from going directly to an exchange and selling it right away. Also if you are having trouble depositing to an exchange you will probably have just as hard a time withdrawing funds from an exchange.
Where are you from? the odds are there is an exchange that services your country, and you could use them. You can also try and buy bitcoins using localbitcoins, again I've never used them so I can't say how well you will make out there, might catch a deal with people being scared at the moment.
I use QuadrigaCX being Canadian, but there are larger ones like Kraken and Poloniex, again I have not used either of those.

Sorry I don't use Binance, but I'm wondering why you don't just buy your BTC on the exchange?
I know in Canada the ATM's are cool but generally don't give you the best exchange when purchasing.
Also if you are planning on sending the funds to your exchange wallet anyways, why not send it direct to the exchange? This way you only have to pay the fee once. That's what I do with my mining rewards when it's time to cover monthly expenses.
Does the ATM not tell you what the fee would be when you are buying? I would think it would be part of the transaction.

I on the other hand was amazed to see they still have stock. Wonder how many pallets they got in? Anywho got 2x of the 821's to add to my farm and very glad to have them coming as 2 of the s9's in the farm are starting to act up... With BTC up a bit from where it was, werks fer me!  I always love your posts. I couldn't believe how long the 741's sat there. I pointed an Internet friend towards them and he scooped up the 2 they had. Congrats on your 821's I'm looking forward to hearing from people who bought them. Watching the last 2 links posted for forum users, it shows the difference between early, or earlier adopters and people like myself, who started in the last 9 months or so. I also think the recent drop in all coins really, helped keep those on the shelf for you guys. Can't wait for the march batch. |

The only difference so far is that you will need a PSU that has 8 - 6 pin connectors, and delivers more than 1200W. I think they are selling 1600W PSU's . Other than that it's the same setup as a 741
No reviews or how to guides yet. Best bet is to run your 821's on a new controller just for them.

Hey there.
You are I the wrong section. You need to post in the alt coin section for anything related to gpu mining.
There is a portrait looking button to post images but most people use an imgur link.
Mods will move your post

Will the Controller for Avalon Miner 741 work with the 821 and Will you be able to hook up an A8 to an existing A7?
A while back Canaan said yes you can. But... Caveat: As I found by mixing A721's and A741's, yes they work just fine together on 1 controller. BUT be very aware that if/when you apply firmware updates the update is specific to a particular model of Avalon and identified as being for 721,741, etc. Thing is, an update is applied to ALL miners on the controller. In my case the 721's did not like being told they were now 741's... Fortunately, easy to back out again. So, best to not mix models on 1 controller... Since RasPi's are cheap, painless to do. I sent them an email to see if you can mix and match 741's and 821's on 1 controller. The response was that they use different firmware. I take that to mean you won't be able to set the machines up on the same controller. Like Notfuzzy said you should just have a 2nd controller ready to go to avoid downtime. |
|
|
|
|
So I emailed Canaan to find out about mixing 741's and 821's. And it sounds to me like you need to run them on separate controllers.
They just said they run on different firmware.
I don't know much about how that all works but thought I would share.

Yeah my 741's shipped out on Friday. I don't know if everyone's did, but you can log into your account and check on the status of your order.
If it has shipped they will have tracking numbers there. I also got an email, so maybe check your junk folder

This would be a long shot but the only time I saw an error similar to that was because I had input pool information wrong.
I'm sure it's been covered but are you sure all pool information and worker information came back on?
|
|
|
|
|
Can you provide more detailed information such as your PSU, what type circuit you are running on. How many Avalons are you running? What are your temperatures? How long have you let it run?
The more info the better including any error codes you might have in your API log, I'm not near mine but I believe they would be found by the heading ECHU, and ECMM
Also did you buy this new or used? Are you sure it's a 741 as the 721 model was a 6 TH/S miner

It does sound like a nice farm, and I'm sure it's been good to you.
You could unload it in a heartbeat on ebay, people are throwing big money at these items currently.
You could either get the most bang for your buck or go in a little more reasonable, whatever you want.
Good luck
