Good, there are some in the USA backup for repair service(Texas warehouse), no worries~

However, someone on my pool bought a miner from them and was rejected due to the 'coins being risky'

So apparently canaan keeps some unknown list of addresses to filter the payments and won't accept all BTC payments.

Clearly canaan's new leadership has some delusion about what Bitcoin is.

Hello, our company is a listed company with strict audits, so we have to filter Bitcoin and ensure legality.

Yet those strict audits don't care that you violate the cgminer license in your more recent miners

If your software is still using cgminer then per-license the source code MUST be made public. Canaan did that for the A6xx, A7xx, A8xx, and A9xx series. After that they started using FMS for the user interface instead of LuCI. Is FMS also a re-write of the actual miner code as well?

Main question is: Does FMS still contain cgminer code? If it does then it is supposed to be made public.

Advice for Canaan sales.

Stop running scams.

The BTC price jumped to around $21k on the 14th

On the 15th (at least a day later) I was indirectly given a price for the newer A13 miners.
When we got back to the sales guy, less than 12 hours later (due to sleep times) his reply was:

"That price is for your next order, this order will be X" where X was higher.

Full on scam bait and switch.

Edit: FYI X was around 1000 more per miner

Thanks for the information, well, there are many scammers on Telegram or SNS platforms, please never trust those who convince you to pay with BTC or USDT. Our online shop team didn't change prices on Jan 15th.
BTW, you can always contact us by Email customerservice@canaan.io or leaving us a message on our online shop.

It was a Canaan sales rep.

That's the reason for my comment you quoted.

Pity that the original FMS devs told me it was in there - hey
Also fun that the API information that Canaan provides shows it also.

Here are some issues we'd like to see at my company.

We have 1166 Pro and 1246 Avalons that just randomly shut off and have to be power cycled to turn back on. Why?

Can we have a list of all the ascset parameters for Avalons?

Is there ever going to be updated firmware for those miners?

The FMS tool is extremely laggy and would be nice to have it fixed to run as well as Whatsminer tool or BTC Tool.

i have reached out again to canaan support for a firmware that works. I don't think these miners should be advertised here without some firmware that works maybe braiins can make support for it?
