Notice in phillipma1957's video that the two outer pieces of tape were already sliced. Also the small piece of tape over the tab on the box flap goes over one of these outer, sliced, pieces of tape. That's the same as with the units I received. So clearly someone opened the box and resealed it, which I guess is what they told Steamtyme.
HOWEVER,did anyone else *smell* the machines they got from miner warez? Mine stink. The same musty smell of a computer that has been running without cleaning for too long. Inspecting a package doesn't explain that, unless it is the smell of Beijing smog? The inside of the cable bags doesn't smell.
The camera work in my video is terrible, I'll still upload it later, right now trying to figure out what to say to canaan/miner warez.
I sniffed the original fully new ------july 23 order
The replacement yesterday very little use kind of neutral
I sniffed the august 6 order ----- fully new
all of the above from chinathe one from minerwarz is not stinky running for weeks in a barn smell . do I think it ran a bit yeah but not much.

If it stops working I would return it.
Am I happy with canaan.io? I kind of I wish the service was better. In my case they shipped me a complete replacement for the unit that died in 48 days. I got the replacement in under 5 days. They let me keep the dead one I suspect that either 1 hash board died or the inside daughter board died.
that means it has at worst 1 good hash board in it and 1 good daughter board
at best 2 good hash boards.
So for me they have been better then they have been for others.
But to see photos of dusty gear is sad.
Now compare to my s-9 it is preordered comes in DEC
while this avalon miner will have mined for more then 50 days
my other s-9 dead board awaits a reply to send it in since august.
so canaan.io is far far far far better then bitmain with service.
