lets face it coins shot way up and they are holding back gear due to the 4300 usd a coin price. It is no more complicated then that.
at least they do not have the coin and as coin goes up and up I have been cashing some I sold some today{.100} at 4287 a coin.
I'm still hoping that one day a manufacturer will stand up that is honourable. Canaan was the one with the best reputation, I put in my order before it shot up, I have an invoice for x usd, i want to pay with bank transfer, they should just honour the deal. The whole BTC scene has a reputation for being a scam because of this stuff. this is one more reason why I have a lot of gpus mining and asic miners mining. I ended up selling some coins buying 3x 1080ti and mining zec I can not wait for them and then have them say send me more . So I buy gpu's I mix mine due to the methods asic builders use to sell their product. |

zec are a few cards skunk are most cards eth is not worth mining if you have all 1080 ti's like i do |

No I have 4 radeon cards, RX 550 and one R9 280x making me an average of $4 a day on mutipool hub
that's why I do eth and not the others.
1080 are way over my budget to consider one, trying to get another 280x instead but prices keep going over 150 on ebay.

On a sidenote, I have a question for those of you who host your Avalon equipment. Do you get a controller for each miner? If not what do the hosting providers usually want? Also, what do you do for PSU's? How do the hosting companies prefer you handle that? FYI I use the Canadian based companies.
1 controller can manage up to 20 miners. For the rest I don't really understand your question. Don't know which colo you are using but in my case I decide how to set it up, the colo just provides power and ip connectivity to my router / firewall. Behind this router I have my mining rigs. Oh I understand the technical aspect of it, just wondering if colo's have put any special requirements to help them keep things organized. If I sent them 20 741's and 1 controller, that will only work assuming they have room to put 20 miners on the same shelf\rack. |

Thank you for letting us know. What BTC price did they use for calculating the final bill? |

My Avalon miner dont get above 36 degrees but 4800 RPM, is it possible to config the miner to set the degrees to 50 and lower the RPM for being less noisy? Its not necessary to set the fan rate so high and temperature so low I think.  |

It's times like these that I miss the days of an Israeli–Swedish–American–Chinese competitive asic market (damn, three years seems like a decade in this corner of technology)

Canaan responded to my ticket with the same automated text that they only take BTC and no wire transfer. I'm in contact with Ebang to see if they are interested in a $10k order for E9 miners. Its funny, i've been trying to spend 10k for the last week on miner hardware and nobody wants my money |

Finally got the Hi, thanks for your message. Once Steve is in the office he will handle this issue. He is in the office M-F 10Am-6pm Florida Time Zone UTC -5.
Thank you!
Lily han reply to my trying to get the BTC payment info for the order I placed on the 8th. Now hopefully 'Steve' will complete the loop so the miner -- and replacement fan for a 721 -- start heading my way... |
