does bitmian still take bitcoins remember china was trying to stop the use of bitcoins or control it,a few weeks ago. might be why no bitcoins or only one form of payment, i guess cash is easy to hide or move or it's normal business there to pay some one off in cash in the GOV or not really illegal sense the gov controls every thing. or all they want is cash sells for now and don't want to deal with CC fees and bitcoin fees etc. they used to take bitcoins.last thought they need cash fast to pay off creditor because that merger deal really went bad thy lost a few bucks .who knows why, I'm guessing now .

im all for "quality" but whats the point when it will take 420 days to break even at todays difficulty (its going up by 10% in the next couple of hours so that number will be higher)?? thats with .10 per kwh too which in my state its about .15. with free power it will take 215 days to break even at the current diff but not everyone has power they dont pay for so when they can beat bitmain on price AND quality then i would buy some but until then i cant justify taking up twice as much space and using a bunch of extra power supplies to power the extra miners i would be running.

I have 12 Avalon 6 hashing now. They are all controlled by one Rpi, will this controller still work on the Avalon 7s? Or do I have to buy their controller as well?
You only need to update the Software  If you upgrade the software does it still run the A6? Or, I should ask, can you run the A6 and A7 from the same Pi? Good question, I guess yes I'll check at the weekend I also guess yes. We were always able to run older Avalons alongside current gen on the same controller and I'd be very surprised if they scrapped that legacy support. |

Finally received my invoice from Canaan. Confirming that only bank wire option was available for payment. Scheduled the wire. Shame that is the only option as I would have purchased more.

I notice Avalon does not have a power support for sale on their site. What are you using for a power supply for the AvalonMiner 721's?
Please forgive (or flame) me if this was discussed previously and I missed it.

The best price performance ratio you get with used server PSU. But you could also use one or two ATX PSU. Both boards can be powered independently |

yeah I can not be doing wire transfers. I talked with Wells Fargo and since it is a business product and not a personal sale paperwork is too intense.
Hey some good news I got a pm about a different thread and other gear.

The lack of BTC payment could have fatal consequences for A721 sales.
I think that they have not thought this through.

I would buy a reliable expensive miner rather than the shitty S9 even if I have to pay using paper money.
Maybe Canaan has obligations and need FIAT.

I am willing to use paypal and or cc and pay a service charge of 3-4% Bank transfer to China is a hassle and they told us this with almost no notice. If it was mentioned 60 days ago or even 30 days ago it would be easier to be ready. I would need to go to my bank Well Fargo and open a business account to do it since it is not a personal transfer. Wells Fargo is in the middle of a scandal so I know that they will be extra careful for it to be fully reported to the Gov. I don't need the hassle of that. It is unfortunate that : the gear costs more then the S9 Strike one uses more power then the S9 Strike two Plus needs special payment Strike three |

So I woke up to an updated invoice in my email, reducing my units from 2 to 1 and changing the total. Good thing the wire request triggered a fraud check with Chase and they didn't process until further review. Now I'm wondering if its even worth the trouble paying for shipping and wire fee for a single unit.

I don't know about anyone else, but that's getting a little old. This here is the bitcoin mining hardware board, not the "everything else" mining hardware board. If we wanted anything else we'd be over there.
GPUs don't get you bitcoins, they get you something else.
And yes I know you can trade that something else for bitcoins, but by doing so you're promoting the something else at least as much as you are bitcoin. And if you don't want to promote something else, you just mine bitcoins directly - with, get this, Bitcoin Mining Hardware - and a better variety of those is what we want.

For me, I can do bank transfer online since my bank allows it. I live in the GCC and process here does not require business bank accounts. |
