Just wondering why you never touched Bitmain's S9 Antminers when it is obviously more profitable (Bitmain's 13.5-14 TH at 1200watts vs Canaan's 7.3 TH at 110 watts)? Don't get me wrong i'm not telling you what to do or anything like that, i'm just curious about what you think.

I missed the chance to buy them in november when I had the funds.

I want to start out with 4 741's then progress from there. I missed the pre-order sale on cryptouniverse today but I live in the US so Blokforge should have the same pre-order sale soon. I have heard great things about the reliability of the Avalons. How has your experience been so far?

I was under the impression that the 741's are no longer available to buy from distributors or canaan.
That's probably accurate. The new a761 and a8 series are supposed to be rolling out in 4-6 weeks (end of January they say, but they're always late).

They're a little underwhelming, honestly. Off the top of my head they're 9ish and 11t respectively.  The new units from Ebit look a lot more exciting. E9++ and E10. The first one is 10nm running at 18t and I dunno about the other one. They're already available for pre-order. I'm getting mine for 32000CNY each.

I've only run Canaan machines up until now, but I'm definitely ready to move up!

Same here.
