Avalon A10 series announced

[minerguy255]

Hey Phillip what email are you sending this to? I don't think he will mind but his direct email is Devin@blokforge.com, I am local in arizona so I was able to actual pick up my last order locally and save on shipping. I did notice they are on Amazon now as well with free shipping and no tariff for miners.

Hi, Devin

I could use a psu. I may also take a few A1047 units if price is good.
I can pay with PayPal or CC or BTC.

Well at least he is trying to get me one.  I hope it happens.

I just got a response from Devin! Canaan is lacking in responses and it sounds like he just lost a family member. I was needing a single PSU and he did say that he would pull one off a machine if need be. It sounds like BF is trying to put a bulk order together for PSUs.

[philipma1957]

I got same response.  Which I appreciate Devin doing.

I know what it is like to have sick family members and to lose them. It is painful.

2020 has been a brutal year for a lot of us.

[minerguy255]

Not sure if you heard but they are trying to bring in a shipment of these PSUs and need them to land to calculate the final charges with shipping.

[philipma1957]

Yes I was told they are in route.

I've always been a bitmain guy, but I'm new to the canaan game and have a few questions I'm hoping you savy users can help me out on.  Tim was super helpful in the sale and setup, and I didn't want to bug him any more. I'm running the 1047 so here are my questions:

1.) Anyone have a favorite firmware?  They all seem to be very different and seem way more frequent than bitmain.  Why is that?

2.) anyone have a good exhaust system?  the fans pull air in, and then they just blow out the grate.  I have a fan shrouds but that wont help me vent in the summer. Would switching fan direction be possible or no due to heat sensor location?

3.) I've seen the "advanced api" mentioned.  I've messed with installing custom firmware and tweaking that way on bitmain miners, but these avalons don't have that. How do you access the machine?  I am thinking of tinkering with fan speeds to begin with and maybe eventually voltage s and frequencies.

Thanks in advance for any info you can give!

Is anyone still looking for 1047 or 1066 PSUs? I have been looking for a 1047 psu and finally got through to someone at Canaan that let me know they have some used 1047 and 1066 PSUs.  They quoted me $110 for the 1047 psu, but $150 for dhl shipping to northeast USA. If anyone is interested shoot me a PM and I'll give you the contact email.

Also, I'm trying to find out if shipping per unit will be significantly cheaper if multiple PSUs are ordered. If so it might make sense to coordinate a group order.

Ok, I'll get a quote and PM you.

If anyone else wants one let me know soon, I'm going to try to get an order placed within the next few days.

Hi wndsnb, I am in need of a 1047 psu and I was wondering If you were able to source any. Thanks, Best J

[philipma1957]

He got some a few weeks ago. My a1066 is back online.

[wndsnb]

I was able to get PSUs for a 1047 and a 1066. They might still have some, you can email sales@canaan.io and ask. Cost for a used 1047 psu was $115 + about $90 shipping.

It was a pain in the ass to order them ... had to sign contracts, wire $ to China, a lot of back and forth. Took a few weeks just to get the order placed.

If enough people wanted them I might consider being the middle man and placing another order, but not worth the time for only one unit.

If you have trouble getting in contact with someone, send me a PM and I'll get you in contact directly with the guy at Canaan I was dealing with.
