Re: Canaan Avalon mini 3, nano 3S & avalon Q [unofficial thread]
Anyone want to share their experience with the Mini 3 and Nano 3S?
I'm considering buying a few of these to replace heaters in rental houses, but I'm a bit concerned about stability.
I've seen several people posting about different issues, but I'm not sure if those are serious issues or not.
The houses in which they will be placed is far away from where I live (7 hour drive), so I can't be driving back and forth to fix minor issues, they need to be stable.
I saw that the app only works if you are on the local wifi (which is a shame and missed opportunity for customers like me), but I guess I can manage them through a VPN.
I assume they can be managed through browser on IP, in addition to through the app?
Any feedback is welcome, thanks!
PS: I've been locked out of my Bitcointalk account for years, finally got it back today!

Have the Mini 3 and it's an absolute tank size wise.
On Eco mode it produces a good amount of heat with just under 30TH to the pool.
In less than 2 weeks of running it the filter is already at 11% so keep that in mind since you'll have a distance to travel.
App and web browser are required to access the gui but you can only change the settings through the app so you will need to be on the local network and sounds like you'll need your VPN.
Most of the time with the Nano's when they act up a simple powering down and back up fixes the issue but haven't had that issue yet with the Mini 3.
Welcome back.
Thanks for feedback, its appreciated!
Good point about the airfilter filling up, maybe it would help mounting the miner on the wall and getting it up from the floor a bit, like a regular wall mounted heater. I will try to make some brackets for this.
Sad to hear I need to use the app to change settings, hopefully I can use Bluestacks android emulator + VPN to manage the miners through the app from home.
I was hoping Canaan had made some cloud service type of thing where the miner could "call home" to their cloud service, and I could manage them online.
If they've already put energy into an app, why not take it the extra step and make it more useful for people like me
If these miners are stable its a no brainer for me to buy more. Like, if I can replace existing heaters and electricity usage with these miners, and earn some money on the electricity I would use anyway, its basically free electricity in this scenario.
I ordered 3x Mini's yesterday, so I will post my experience when I get them in hand and have used them a bit.
And thanks, its good to be back!
