can someone just pay the $$$ and take bitcoin lol

I wish I could. 

I have not had any replies from them since yesterday more then  36 hours ago.
There is something going on with them that they won't tell me.
I do not know what it is, but I think  my group buy has died.

I am back to waiting on my order for 1 unit  placed on August 31st.

Here comes $20,000 741s...

Well, I have some bad news for you guys. I asked Canaan when they'll have a new batch of miners in stock and they told me they have stopped selling to retail customers directly. They are working on setting up distributors though and "in the near future" we'll be able to buy gear only from these distributors.

[HagssFIN]

Ouch. So Canaan is going to do exactly as BW.com is doing when it comes to selling miners. Large quantity orders only.

Wow...


Thanks for the communication, Canaan!

In their defense it's also the same thing I'm doing. Wrangling a billion nickel-and-dime customers (when half of them talk your ear off and then don't make the purchase anyway) burns up a heck of a lot of man-hours that could be used for building awesome stuff instead. My first batch of 2Pacs, 80% of customers were only 15% of units and, if you include no-sales, about 95% of communication. I can't even imagine how bad it'd be with the kind of volume Canaan puts out.

I hear ya... Unfortunately, I'm just an unlucky SOB that lost ~$300 trying to make sure I had my BTC ready, since everything I had read was that once I receive the address, I won't have time to wait for a bank transfer to come in.

It's just very frustrating trying to get into this. I don't want to buy these at the going reseller rate, only to have them become obsolete well before I could ever make what I spent on them

so  you purchased coins  at  the price of   x

and the coins dropped in price to           x-300

correct?

[Steamtyme]

I was in the same boat, but I did get that gut feeling to sell and pocket my 200$ gain, that way I just had the cash with my exchange until I got an address, in the meantime found a different hardware deal I'm hoping pans out.

RESELLER rates are like 1250? fuck that like 300 profit per and going with a 60 pallet they get a easy 18k which surely they will sellout 60 fast

No. The BTC I purchased for $2000 when I was ready to go is now worth $1700.

If you still holding it it could go up.

[Didley1JT]

Hopefully. But I'd much rather just get this mining thing underway.



Edit: Also, I sent you a PM if you have a minute.

Oh yeah... further insult to injury, I ordered the PSUs from Parallel Miner and they already shipped.

Group buy is best way to go.

Giving these resellers that extra premium is waste of money really.

In the coming months, even 60k,90k,100k bulk orders will be soon out of stock - IMHO, with the rate BTC is climbing and after all the China ban drama -- its clear signal to BTC=5k and beyond.

I dread the day, that small miners will have no more leeway to access BTC ASICS mining equipment because only large farms have mass purchasing power to manufacturers main inventory.

Sidehack is right..... Canaan, like Bitmain will always prioritize larger farm orders and they should in order to stay in business.... otherwise its easy to suffer the same fate like Spondoolies Tech and others.

BTW, shout-out to Allan and team for hosting my group's Asics miners. Satisfied customer since June 2016.

Appreciate the shout-out!

If anyone trustworthy in North America is thinking of putting together a group buy I'd be down for 10 units (no PSUs).

Same here ! Plus give me more power

[sidehack]

For all the good could come of it, I'm considering doing that. Probably should talk to Phil a bit more about all the runaround he's choosing to avoid by not doing it, to get an indication of how much suck will be involved.

[HerbPean]

I would glady buy a few units, but CryptoBoreas is full at the moment.

I cannot run more machines there.

All citronick fault !
