But I suggest better buy a brand-new one from Canaan unit which is cheaper with higher hashrate.

why would you suggest a miner to anyone that has horrible customer service and equipment that breaks within a month of owning it and they units also will not run with 1 bad hashboard.

canaan is ripping people off plain and simple. i got no support with my unit it sat for a year i messed with it started working again then it stopped working again and now im ready to just beat the hell out of it with a hammer. its bad enough trying to break even as a small miner let alone take a total loss because canaan wants to sell the worst junk miners possible with the worst software and support possible.

also the canaan miners need to call home to china constantly why is that? i paid money for equipment i exepected to work that i did not abuse i replaced the contnrol board at my expense because they would not sell me one so i paid $300 on ebay for one 6 weeks after ownership and the unit still does not work.

TLDR; if you want to lose even more money in mining buy canaan products
