Still nothing for me either. But China is ending all of its exchanges and ICO's so the market is going to drop alot. The govern. over there is cracking down on BTC. So for me personally i will be cancelling my order regardless. If it continues on and gets stronger then good for BTC but that move has placed BTC in my eyes as a bigger risk and not worth buying new gear in my book.

It'll be interesting to see how the next 12 hours play out

I definitely agree with you there lol. You thinking the price will go back up over 5,000? I'm betting that it will shoot back up to 4700 by the end of tomorrow for sure.


Mine is in reference to Canaan just opened so orders will hopefully be going through to the payment phase.

Import pricing and shipping

As for the pi, you should do research on the product before buying.

Without research you may not have the circuit breaker to handle the units

I requested BTC address to pay few days ago, but still no response Sad
How long did you wait?

It's going to take a while. They got more orders than they were expecting. The last few pages have order numbers of a few people that have not received the payment info yet either. What is yours? Mine is #89619 and I have not received the payment information yet.

Can only be patient and wait... or pay 4-5x what we should on ebay/amazon.

My order is #89693, no word yet on payment info either.
Waiting patiently....

Order #89374 I'll post when I get mine. Provided I'm not asleep during the time

Well with BCC the balance should shift some since people will be mining one or other.
And little guys matter as much as the big in terms of moving product. It's easier to move bigger loads but every order matters.

Just be on standby when you get your order info. It's not your order number but how fast you pay.
First come first served.

Well, btc price is back down,  Grin I was hoping they would have sent out payments when it was high so the actual btc would be lower but looks like the spike is done. But still the weekend so still some days till we hear back on payments.

Also seems some people couldn't wait so won't be as many people finalizing their orders.


Yeah. I was up $200 after I put $2250 into the exchange... then it all tanked. Lol. I spread it out between BTC, ETH, LTC, DASH, and PART though so I wouldn't get crushed by any single drop. Down about $150 now, but it's been coming back up slowly.

I wonder if Canaan anticipated the drop so they decided to wait on sending the BTC payment info.

I keep mine in BCC, I have no idea why market has not realized its the better coin yet. Lower fees, faster transactions, plus they have a perm solution instead of a temp one. just a mater of time before the community stops attacking BCC and is forced to embrace it.

The biggest problem I have about the way hardware is sold is that. 1 of the biggest perks of bitcoin is its suppose to be a a financial system run by the people. I originally got into it because I loved the idea of a system away from the corruption and scheming of banks and government. But when you have a system that shits on the little guys and only rewards the people who can buy mass quantity, its no longer a system run by the people it is now a system run in majority by the rich. This basically makes BTC like every other currency where the few dictate everything. The only perk it has now is the Anonymity and that only depends on where you live and even then with all the scams and theft out their this causes as many problems as it does solutions.


Those rich were the ones who were early adopters and got it when everyone dropped out back in 2013.
I say kudos to them for risking it through.

As for BCC I see it as a valid coin and a good coin. But for someone like me that does cash payouts I still have to convert it to BTC or other crypto to make real currency off of it.

Even I anticipated the drop. It's  a smart business decision by waiting a work day they can save and make an extra $100 more or less each Miner. I bought my BTC over a week ago so I'm still in the positive return

Too expensive and unknown in terms of security. But maybe in time he will pay for itself. So it's better to buy not a new one but a supported one, it will somehow help reduce risks.

Umm... Anyone know what this is in reply to

Hmm I thought about if I got some to build a custom loop. Maybe custom drill some aluminum and order some ek parts for the loop.

Depending on the size of the chips maybe the new threadripper cpu blocks

I'm #89619.... nothing yet.

Decided to take the money I was going to use for the order and invest in a few different cryptos. Made some stupid mistakes on how to get money into my wallet and ended up paying way too much in fees.

Luckily, I'm currently +$80 after making back all the fees.
Cool. However, as I and others have said a lot here: Love the miners but the ordering back-end of their biz after placing the order well... Leaves a lot to be desired and I gather each order is verified/vetted/checked against stock ready to be shipped/etc manually before they send the BTC amount due and address.

End result is that it *will* get done.
  Eventually.
Longest I've waited was the last batch, ordered Aug 8 and got the canned order conf invoice and bit about Wire info (despite making it clear am using BTC when I ordered...) was about a week before they asked us 'still want?' and another 1-2 days before they sent the info. Shorted time I've waited was in Feb?, only 2-3 days before I got the amount due/address.

Er? http://www.sherv.net/cm/emo/word/wtf-smiley-emoticon.gif

They really need to get a decent accounting/stock status/web-ordering biz software.... Been available for decades, ya know?



So in the end it's a patience game if you want the best price possible.

If you want immediacy go to eBay and pay the premium price. Without the warranty.

I'm willing to wait some time just for the payment option and if I get back ordered a few weeks that's fine

Somebody who placed order on 31th August also paid for the order? Mine are #90193 and #90832.


No, and I'm #89374.

Well I'm at least 500 after you so I'm gonna have to wait a while if you haven't managed to pay yet.
With today's technology still find this strange regarding payment with eCommerce and all.
My first order with Canaan so a long wait it is.

It's a small company

Do you believe they had over 2000 units in stock? I think they had about 300 units. I suspect everything will be backordered.

I suspect there is out of 3000 orders place of which of 1200 are legit. Even I have duplicates I can't cancel yet
I think they have around 600-1000 available

Just personal guessing

I noticed they added bulk orders to their store - you can order a 60 pack (or a pallet, which is the same quantity but a higher price?!), but not a single miner.




Saw that earlier I think it's to ease the larger order people so they get their own pallet ordered just for them
And your math is flawed, it's cheaper. 43,000 for 60 units is something like 716 each unit

The pallet has power and controllers


@flameruk.   I'm 500 ahead of you, no. But it's night now there and they are closed. Plus its the weekend so I'm not sure if they will be open till Monday their time

Yay, mine's also made it to Memphis. Given the holiday, seems like delivery will be Tuesday Sad

I take it that using FedEx International Economy for a package is rather like a person flying standby. Cheap *if* space is available on flights otherwise the package gets to hang around the airport for a while... In this case 2 days in Taiwan, 2 days in Japan.


I ordered some circuit boards from China for a side robot project I'm doing at home and the first board will finally arrive after 27 days Cheesy but hey, free shipping lol

I think soon the things will get better. After all, there is NO COMPANY IN THE WORLD that likes disappointed customers. They definitely will take some measures to improve the customer service.

I am also waiting to receive the BTC addres, but I understand the bad situation they are into.
I've made order(#75834) of 2 miners + 1 controller on 13.08, when they still had everything in stock. I opened a ticket to receive the BTC address and while waiting to receive it they run out of stock. They asked me if I am still interested in buying and do I want to be informed when the new batch is availabel, so I could "preorder" before the main sell starts. I asked that I'm still interested and asked my order to be updated to 4 miners + 1 controller. My order was updated just like I wanted. And on 25.08(friday afternoon in my country) I finally received the BTC payment address, that was valid just for 2 days.

BUT, I had no bitcoins available, because the bitcoin price was changing so fast and I could lose a lot of money. I had account in bitcoin exchange, but there was no way I could make a bank wire transfer to the exchange site the same day. I've ordered it, but it was confirmed the late afternoon in this monday - 28.08, when the BTC payment address was already not valid Grin So now I'm just waiting with the guys from the last batch orders for updated BTC payment address.

But there is something more important I wanted to mention. If my order from the middle of the month is with number about 75000 and the last orders from the new batch are with numbers about 91000, this means that for 15 days thay had more than 15 000 orders. This is like more than 1000 orders every single day. And we have only Lily and Jasmine to deal with them, and Steve for the more complicated cases. So let's be a bit more patient!


Wow, my order is #89374

I'm sure alot of people are like me that have duplicate orders outside of our main ones like mine but can't cancel the other orders since the holds that we're placed.

So we are clogging up the list with unneeded information.

But my BTC clears in 13 hours so either way depending on their work schedule we may not hear anything for days if they have the weekends off to be with their families (although some people won't care and would say they should work)

I'll personally be happy as long as I hear something by Wednesday their time.
