Btw, I left a 741 in my cart from the 12/26 batch to speed up check out if I caught a restock. Would I be able to check out with that old listing or would I have to add a new 741 to cart through the new link? On the small chance of a restock, of course. There were more chances than I was expecting though.

No more after this, that was last 4 from last batch, unless some miracle canaan finds some extras in warehouse, not planning on it.

Ah, I figured. Was surprised that any restocks happened tbh.
I think the 741 in my cart is from before the reservation system was put in place.

Seems like they are OOS now. I appreciate your effort to distribute more units to members of the forum. Sad that BTC and most crypto had to drop right as these went on sale, though.

try again. Thanks! Was right on that and probably coulda grabbed one, but I'm not really liking the feel of this bounce so I held off. Appreciate the notification though.

2 821s on their website for $3600 I'll pay $3600, for 2 machines. ~9 month ROI in vacuum without a power supply, no thanks. When you guys set the price of these profitability was 25% higher than it was now. Hell, the price of bitcoin was at $14K, now its at $10K. Antminer uses BCH to price the S9, they cost 99% of 1 BCH which right now would be around $1550. I'm sure some fool will buy them, but it won't be me.

I on the other hand was amazed to see they still have stock. Wonder how many pallets they got in? Anywho got 2x of the 821's to add to my farm and very glad to have them coming as 2 of the s9's in the farm are starting to act up... With BTC up a bit from where it was, werks fer me!

I always love your posts. I couldn't believe how long the 741's sat there. I pointed an Internet friend towards them and he scooped up the 2 they had. Congrats on your 821's I'm looking forward to hearing from people who bought them. Watching the last 2 links posted for forum users, it shows the difference between early, or earlier adopters and people like myself, who started in the last 9 months or so. I also think the recent drop in all coins really, helped keep those on the shelf for you guys. Can't wait for the march batch.

quick question guys! Can the 741s and 821s all daisychain together on the same controller? or will they need different controllers? i have some 741s going now, and will have some 821s on the way---was planning on just adding the 821 to the chain of 741s---but it just dawned on me they may not be able to work on the same controller---figured you guys were the right people to ask!

I can't say for sure but I did reach out to Canaan on this when i was thinking of grabbing a few 821's
They answered that the machines ran on different Firmware. Not being super tech savy, I took that to mean grab a second controller. I know that people were able to run 721's and 741's together but that for any firmware updates, the other miners had to be off the chain while it was applied.
I don't know if anyone ran A6's with 721's; as that would be a similar concept.
If it were me I would just get one of the controller off of Blokforge, as I noticed Canaans model for a controller has gone up in price and theirs are less expensive and will do the same thing. I would send them an email first though and just say you want the controller to come loaded with the 821 firmware.

I very much doubt it. From my knowledge the A6 were not compatible with the A7 controller/firmware and I don't expect the A8s to be backwards compatible. That's why I have two spare Raspberry Pi Avalon controllers prepared for A8s - when they come down from their astronomical beyond mortal reach price!

I also think the recent drop in all coins really, helped keep those on the shelf for you guys. Can't wait for the march batch. Ya there certainly is an odd - fiscal disconnect - between them. The only fiat I have spent was a total of around $8k in early 2014 to get my initial gear. After that most BTC income was plowed back into expansion/upgrade to the current >255THs. The bigger the farm the faster you recoup the BTC spent for growing. In my case the farm will pay for the 2 new miners in a bit over 3 weeks and then back to pure profits... Point is, as yer BTC stockpile and farm grows it is easy to forget the actual $ value of miners. I just take it out of the earnings pile.

Another way to look at it for new people mining would be to ask themselves do they want to put a few $1000 into buying bitcoin via Coinbase or rather buy miners to turn your fiat into bitcoin away from prying eyes. There are a lot of factors that push the price past what a normal ROI equation would dictate. Lots of factors
