BLOKFORGE- Official Canaan Distributor

[CryptoHodler30]

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


 

i agree with this i feel that even if im only making enough bitcoin to cover electricity and my initial investment i am okay because then i dont have to worry about sending money through coinbase to buy my bitcoin. obviously id like to make more, but im okay until im losing money by mining.

Awesome that people ended up getting some 741's finally. Can't wait to see if the March batch of 821's are a little cheaper. It'd be great if they were under 3000 with shipping.

[CryptoHodler30]

I think they will be. I bet around 2500. I saw another distributor is selling march batch for 2800 or so and they always charge more than what blokforge does.

I missed out on getting those 741s but was able to get a Feb 821 which is about $600 more than I wanted to pay but Blokforge is pretty legit so I don't mind too much supporting the good guys if I have to overpay... and perhaps it isn't overpaying if bitcoin goes back over the moon again

I just asked Blokforge if I can cancel my pre-order and what fees, if any, would be charged.  If Blokforge agrees to cancel my order without penalty, there will be one more first batch 821 available.

Anyone know if the 741 controller will work with the 821? Also would a 1500w power supply be sufficient on 110v?

For the umptheenth time here in the Forum, yes the the same controller can be used with the 721/741/821 all at the same time.
Just don't update the Firmware with them like that because Firmware updates are applied to all miners on a controller and the Firmware is miner-specific.

As long as the PSU will put out 1,500w when fed 110v sure. Check the ratings on its label...

[Toughit]

Any chance you will accept XMR (Monero) on the next batch?

[allinvain]

Any chance they can accept pogs or chuck e cheese tokens in their next batch?

yeah he should check what the watts on the rails list as.. in the past the other voltage rails (non 12volts) would be added to the total amount listed so you'd have a bit less than 1500W for the rails you need.

I plan to just use a pair of 1000w PSUs to power my 821. One for each board.  I have a few lying around from my jupiters.. you can go lower but I rather make sure the PSUs aren't being pushed to the max.  A pair of 850s might work too.

I feel sad for you, lol

On the other hand that means you didn't lose friends over metal slammers, lol 90's kids

Mr. GreenJeans and Capt. Kangaroo were the best.

And I still have no clue what a pog is.

Yes, Mr. Frodo...  all work and no play.

But back on Topic.  Nick, would you contemplate vile non Bitcoin like XMR for payment?  If not I have to begin some kind of conversion.

As a one time payment, possibly we can accept it, cant add it to the site, much is involved with cart integrations, rather not get yelled at if any new issues with different integration.  We offer litecoin and bch, only had one btc payment ever, and no bch payments event though had tons of requests.

[lrowland21093]

Wow only one?!?  I guess that must have been me! 

[Bob-Bit]

LTC, wow thats awesome! That will come in handy in March when the next batch of 821's come out. I bought some LTC at 22.50 when they first put it on Coinbase, and mined some more along the way. Perfect way to spend it!

[NotFuzzyWarm]

Only one BTC payment?
Um check yer sales, This month I've gotten 2x Bitmain APW PSU's, 2x of the Feb 7 A821's, and 1 of your controllers for them. All different orders and all paid in BTC.

[Flying Hellfish]

I just asked Blokforge if I can cancel my pre-order and what fees, if any, would be charged.  If Blokforge agrees to cancel my order without penalty, there will be one more first batch 821 available.

Nick at Blokforge got back to and agreed to cancel my Avalon 821 first batch pre-order for a 10% fee ($355). On principle, I could never pay such a fee to stop an order that has not shipped.  So I have put it up on eBay at

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F232638317514

However, if any forum member wants the unit, I will sell it for my cost plus any accrued transaction fees.  Depending on how you would like to complete the transaction, the transaction fees vary.

If you would like to use coins (BTC, BCH, ETH, and LTC accepted) then the cost is $3580 (the forum price plus the $30 for my original wire transfer) plus shipping
If you would like to use PayPal there is an extra 3% for the transaction fee so $3687 plus shipping
If you would like to use ebay there is an extra $250 on top of the PayPal so the cost is $3937 plus shipping.

I live in Iowa and will only ship to within the US. The options for shipping are:
Overnight - $150
2 Day - $75
Ground - $30

If interested, send me an email at matt@eematt.com

Thanks,
Matt

A forum member has reached out to me and the miner is sold pending payment verification.

Thanks,
Matt

The forum member backed out after talking to his or her partner and now the unit is available again.

Matt

Kind of a douchey move to try and jack the thread to sell your unwanted gear...

You should think about deleting and making a post in the marketplace.
