Hi Flying Hellfish,
Fair point, although the wording is wanting. I have deleted the post. Please understand I wasn't trying to hijack or sidetrack the thread. I see this thread as a group of people talking about Blokforge and about the batches released from them. My goal was to be a fair person trying to help the community without any profit by providing an option to get in on the Blokforge release. I apologize to anyone who thought my post was inappropriate.
Regards,
Matt

shame you jumped ship.. mining has never been a get rich quick play. It is more like buying stock in that you MAY get lucky and have great timing and go to the moon like some did this year but lots of times it is just a good way to convert your cash to bitcoin and hodl for a year or so the biggest worry on mining is getting good hardware at a decent price... Blokforge looks like they are doing the right things to bring good vibes back into the mining community |

I realize that the controller is a Pi but can I use any old Pi as long as I have the SD image from canaan? Or is there something special about their Pi? Is there a Pi version requirement?
I have a number of old Pi's sitting around, just wondering if I can repurpose one and save money on a controller.

You don't need their Pi, just their SD Card image. |

One thing you can do is to download the image you think you want, and then try it out on one of you Pi's. You don't need to have the Avalon connected, not even the little USB dongle. Some things won't work right, but you can most certainly get into the Wed based GUI just fine and configure stuff as you want. I found this particularly convenient to do away from the miner, before my A6 had even arrived. Assuming that all boots and runs OK, you shouldn't run into any problems when actually connected to the miner itself. |

Does anyone have a link to the controller image? I don't even see the controller images for the previous ones in github unless I am missing something. https://github.com/Canaan-Creative |

Dumb question. How do I check the version of my controller? I've just got one from parallel miner and it might be the latest version already.
I see "OpenWrt Designated Driver 50019 / LuCI trunk-38010-g851a890647 Release (git-17.114.43691-ffc1d59)" in the initial page of the controller but am not sure how to read this.

The Controller's firmware version number may be found at the top of its cgminer API log. |

Canaan is no longer having chips made for the A721/A741's and issued an EOL (End Of Life) statement for them here last Dec. Maybe a couple of the miners are hiding in a corner somewhere but is doubtful.
