Hey people, I just finished stabilizing power supply to my 10 Avalon 741s, looking forward to mining some blocks for Kano.

Mine on!

Welcome to the party!! Let's do this!! KANO-SAN runs a good pool and the community is great. Mine On

Mine on!

Nice another 73TH isn't bad! You have more than I do! Grumble. If I had electricity to power more lol. Plus Bitmain stopped selling them for anything other than BCC. I HATE that. If for nothing other than forcing me to use a currency I don't want to. It's the reason I started mining crypto in the first place. Now a main hardware manufacturer for BTC is forcing me to use a different crypto-currency. Does that not bother anyone else or I am just a weirdo?

The nonce server for the few miners with asicminer tubes, was dead to the world for about 22 minutes from UTC 22:14 to 22:36
Was some 'upstream network routing' problem, all resolved now.
Mine on.

It's also why they're slower than normal to release more miners...when an used miner can fetch 4-5X Face Value on ebay/amazon...they'd rather keep it in-house and mine for themselves (while keeping the transaction fees).   Can't wait for Canaan to release their new stuff.

Me too! Hopefully there's enough A8's at launch that I can grab some and replace some of my 741s with them.

I was browsing Canaan, Minerwarez, and Blokforge and saw they were offering an Avalon 761. It looks like it has a 8.8THash rate with a slightly more efficient joules per hash figure.
Has anyone seen or ordered one of these units?  Both Winerwarez and BlokForge are out of stock for almost everything bitcoin wise.

Looks like Canaan put up a page on these: https://canaan.io/product/avalonminer-761/

Not sure if this is the new product or if they have an A8 also in the works

It says it has the same chip in it as the 741

Thanks, Kano! Maybe this is their way to clear out their old chips while also releasing the new miner on the new chip.

What would be the reason that one would purchase this unit over the S9? Reliability is much better or so I have read, but power consumption is not. Would it be the fact that bitmain is not months behind and paying the scalper prices on ebay is absurd? Not trying to start anything here. Just attempting to confirm what I believe the reasons are based on my research. All in all given the retail pricing of both units wouldn't the S9 be the better machine 9 (not considering reliability).

Bitmain's been ahead but they have horrible customer support and warranty that exists but also sucks. I remember having to ship miners back to China for repairs, etc. Bitmainwarranty in Colorado does repairs now too but they are paid IIRC. Reliability really is a killer for the S9. Avalon units are rock-solid as well and you're paying for a quality product instead of one from a company that is trying to destroy Bitcoin for their own profits (see S2X, Bitcoin Cash). The A7 is also available for cheaper and actually in stock in some places, Parallelminer has the A7 in stock for ~$1800 which isn't a horrible deal the way things are right now.

Well with Bitmain where you have to pay 3 months in advance for an S9 ... that's 3 months of lost mining ... which is a VERY long time.

If instead you can get a miner much faster ... then that also needs to be factored in.

At the moment neither of them can supply miners quickly, but a few months back most people ignored the fact you could get an A7 when you couldn't get an S9.

We'll see what happens when the A8 is released ...

Then of course, as mentioned above, the RMA on an S9 is pretty much a joke ... so you gotta hope your S9 never fails ...

I must say my buying experience @ minerwarez was good, so if/when I buy more miners it would be from them or another official distributor

Knock on wood, my one s9 got repaired in Colorado fairly quickly.  Wasn't going to complain about it, have had much worse service from other industries.   
A new miner needs to come out soon, and I'm betting that quite a few of them have received some quality burn time here at kano's pool.   We will know very very soon!

Does Miner/Warez have the same policy as Caanan for purchase. I was reading from Caanan that I need an import license and a business license. I am essentially a hobby miner, this is not even close to my main business. Can anyone share their experience with Minerwarez and their requirements? Thanks and we are @100% of DIFF, Come On Block!!! The Bitcoin Kabookie Dance Session was performed in support of this next block. Mine On.

What line 2 says, is that we expect, on average, 1 in 2.7 blocks, to be over 100%
What line 5 says, is that we expect, on average, 1 in 20.1 blocks, to be over 300%
etc.

It's something that a lot of people don't realise about the expected results when finding blocks
Just thought I'd post it again for the newer members

[rifleman74]

Ok, we're right at the 100% mark, time to do some limbo!!!
