Obviously, people are not rushing to buy bitcoin miners anymore. As there are loads available everywhere you look. If Canaan isn't competing with their distributors, then why are they listing the bulk orders below blokforge's pricing? They also list a single quantity, tho it's out of stock. Why even do that if they don't want to sell directly to the public?
1) you cannot and will not be able to buy a "single" unit from Canaan direct.
2) they will sell to the public if you buy 60 or more.
3) the price they show on the website is roughly what they charge Blokforge (not taking into account any volume or official distributor discounting.
So it makes sense the pricing at Blokforge would be higher considering they also pay shipping and import fees.
It really shouldn't be hard to understand a proper distribution chain.
Simply put 60+ units Canaan direct
59 - units Blokforge (or your nearest distributor)
