Now that the R4 is a bust for me based on price, I am definitely looking forward to the A7.

orange PI are a newer faster better cheaper PI then rasp pi. they have more support then some think . There is more of them as well in there product line. I had few Facebook messages with Canaan.io today, but only thing they could say is that news are coming soon.
That's all they keep telling me but I trust it will come ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . there sending me a free MCU for my out of warranty Avalon 6 , I messed up trying to update to the MM dated AUG 15th, all i have to do is tell others which, I'll do gladly not that they need me to but i will . to me the Avalon product line is the best miner so far but Ive said this before after owning 2 . even the A6 i thought was very quiet till i screwed up the MCU. Are they going to support RPi's as a controller as well? I have no experience with "Orange" Pi's.
In fact I hadn't heard of them before the related A7 posts. Had to google it.
my guess is yes !!! why not . orange pi's use the same OS as rpi, same command line etc .if you use a rpi then using a orange is the same.

Avalon actually beat Bitmain on price/hash?
That WOULD be a shock.
Close, though, might happen - and given Avalon's track record on reliability, close might just be good enough...

If Yang runs this with blockC from San Francisco at least parts and warranty will work better then bitmaintech. My take is the smaller chip size makes for a more delicate miner. My one and only burnt dead cpu was a i5 6600k from intel and they have had issues with the 14-16 nm chip size. So the idea that 14-16 asic mining chips are less robust seems plausible. So maybe the avalon 7 will service dead gear better then bitmaintech does.

The issues with the S9 are more the "glue on heatsink" + much higher thermal density than any previous miner Bitmain ever came up with - except the S7 which had similar issues.
The S5 was "small chips" and proved to be quite reliable as a general rule, while the KnC Titan was "large chips" that had a major issue with parts of the chip dying A LOT.

Who knows, the new owners may take a more competitive approach.

Me too! Do you know when the release is expected? Will the voltage of the chips be modifiable? I hope so it would make the miner way more useful in the long term I think. In all aspects it will be a good thing to bring some competitions back to bitmain ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) .

If they want people to buy it they need to at least match or come close to ETH probability with respect to electricity for those with 7970/280x technology GPUs.
Needs to be 1000Watts->100MH/s ETH->$7/day and needs 4-6 months ROI period like GPUs.
However this will probably cost 50% more than an S9.

Well looks like the 7th was a false source. here is the deal it needs to be quiet gear . it needs to have lower watts per gh 0.08 would be good a clear improvement over any other gear. it needs to be 600 to 800 watt max a 640 watt 8th miner would be really good. they could charge 1500 and it would sell---- but at 1500 I need a better warranty then bitmaintech say six months. I will say this the avalon 6 had good support for dead gear issues if you were in the USA Yang from blockC was very good on dead gear issues. I hope to work with him again if the avalon 7 lists soon. for sales.

They have a dilemma: going for a maximum return/miner or try to get more market share. Obviously, in the latter case they would have to undercut Bitmain on pricing, NOT price it at a premium. They were bought by a bigger player, so it is possible. Plus, 6 mo or even 1 year warranty could be an additional bonus.

If they put out a better quality machine for the same price, Avalon wins. But if they put out a lower TH machine with similar power consumption at a higher price, I won't be a buyer.

Hope they do it soon. I need more miners as soon as possible. It would be great to compare the two before I purchase.
