Yes : January, 5th

Yes, I received the fedex tracking number.
It takes 5 days from china to France

Hi guys.
Just received mine today !!
I’ve made an unboxing in video :

And a quick review on X. (A video is planed for tomorrow)

Have fun with yours !!

140W max  , so not much. A little lower than a goldshell box.

It is confirmed, the nano 3 will be compatible "out of the box" with solo pools !!

on coinwarz.com, you can calculate that, today, with 4TH/s you can earn ~700 sat /day. but it will turn to ~400sat/day after the halving in april.

you can use exchanges like crypto.com or Bybit that allow you to DCA with little amount. You can set the frequency, the amount, and the duration.

Now, 15bucks are approximately 35000 sats. it is better that 700x30 = 21000 sats with mining.

BUT, you can see things differently. If you run the nano 3 at 65W, on a "solo pool", it will cost you 8.22$/month, and you will earn zero. However, if you find a block (you are a very lucky man) it will be ~4BTC instant.(after halving).
It is a lottery ticket that run every 10 minutes.

I made some calculus. And for me, now, this tiny miner is super exciting

I bought 2 on indiegogo. But the delivery occur in a month

I totally agree. Moreover, in some cases, it allow to solo mine without worries

But i also consider that more powerful miners, in the 500-1500W range could be more effective in therms of price per TH/s
I have 2 KD-lite asic, with a 900W "low power" mode and 1300W "hashrate" mode. they are great !
Low power is very quiet.

maybe the loki plebs design are the correct way in this range at the end of the day.


I think both are great because they will allow many creative design for various usage

For Bitcoin home miners, imo, there is two schools that can coexist :

• Solo/lottery miners
• and Pool (regular) miners

These 2 types have different needs.
As canaan is working on another model for home mining, and hopefully, maybe other brands will consider working on it, it could be wise to explicit the waited specifications for both types isn't it ?
Even if its smell the wishfulthinking  

So, first, pleb miners doesn't have the industrial price for electricity. For example, in france, the common price is 22.7cts€/kwh (~0.21$us) and very good price is average 13cts€/kwh. And, if it seems high, it is one of the lower price in europe for everyday people.

Solo/lottery miners
In this context, the power consumption have to be kept low. 150W seems the maximum, because it keep the electric bill and heat production low, for 24/7/365 operation.
A special focus on the noise. It have to be extremely low, so you can run it wherever you want, even dormroom.
this kind of tiny miners have to be able to mine through a local node or a stratum. they should connect through wifi and remain cheap, regarding their tiny hashrate.
finaly, the efficiency is important. People are ok to fight, against swords, but not with a foam knife.

concerning the "classic" pool miners
the power should be in a range between 500-1500W.
It is a correct power to remain the noise below 50dB, and be able to heat an appartment in winter, without being a nightmare to cool on summer.
If people want more power, they just buy multiple devices.
In a sens, they should be "rain proof", because, during summer, many people leaves their asic outside (on a balcony for example) and rain can sometime be an issue.

Imo, design is not very revelant for things like that, but the price and efficiency (considering the additional cost to keep the noise low) remain the two major points.

What do you think about that ?
Do i forgot something ?
 

I got 2, so i will proceed to a teardown in photos and video with one of them as fast as i can.

For the moment, it seems that canaan is listening their customers. we will see in the next weeks if they do what they said, but for the moment, its a good point.

On the telegram, i've learned today that they are also working on a bigger version designed for home miners.

can't wait to see the "technological war" between canaan and the bitaxe hex community.

This is good for us.

It seems that, even if it was not initially considered, it will be possible to solo mine and change the pool. the software update should take several months to be released, according to the idiegogo discussion and the canaan shop telegram.
