And all of us are lucky that Avalon / Canaan is shipping slowly if they were fast it would kill off all of the units above.

That’s a good point! You have to wonder why they are half-assing the sales. Is production just not ready yet? Is this a temporary, loss-leader product? Maybe a limited supply of chips? I guess we’ll find out. Margins have got to be razor thin with 10 chips in there.

I can assure you that none of the projects you listed are getting “killed off”. More like “super motivated” now.

They are using their garbage ASICs (literally ASICs they would throw away) to make these.

This is why they can charge 150 for them, even the parts probably costs more than 150 from some teardown ive seen.

This is not a sustainable volume product thats why they are not making a lot.

They certain went after all the small miner builders.

I have use a lot of small miners.

basically all of them except the newest Apollo and the Bitaxe.

I rate bit chimney best and nano 3 next.

both could turn a profit for people. if used in a 'free' power spot.

all the other items won't . (well you could hit a block and prove me wrong)

but 7th for 2 nano 3 one full speed and medium speed earn 35-36 cents a day with free power. about 1200 days to break even
a .5 th bitax earns 2-3 cents a day with free power. about 7000 days to break even
a 7th apollo II earns 35 cents a day. about 1800 days to break even

that's if you don't solo mine but have free power. and mine on viabtc or nicehash
