So ROI is about 750 days.
You're assuming no difficulty increases... the reality is never
Yea is the service fee in addition to the electricity costs?
The service fee translates to $0.14/kWh... so if you are paying both service fee + electricity, then you are paying $0.24/kWh...

No ones interested so i'll make an offer $500?
Dude I'm a fellow seller... You are selling below market! haha... Just include pictures + escrow + etc... Also listed on eBay... I've sold 8 units on eBay now at about $1950/each
They are $850 in stock through Canaan. Am I missing something?
They haven't sold direct to customers at that price since August -- your only option is a distributor, which are all sold out. At best, you can pre-order an Avalon 8 for March delivery. I think even those pre-sales are sold out.
I am not trying to charge $3k like some people but would like to recoup my investment + small profit for the fact that they are rare. I'm not trying to gouge the community though.
Tim is ok I suppose, he is just complaining about over pricing trend.
I'm not a fan of ASICs but I remember Avalon from days when I was looking for an alternative to Bitmain and became so disappointed, I'm sure they have not changed and won't change ever. So, Idk, but how is it possible to buy a miner from a failed brand, with half of the hash power of a s9 and almost the same power consumption , without psu without controller board (!) for a price comparable to s9?
No, I don't think Tim is the one who needs a bit help

Your first comment "not a fan of ASICs" is likely why you don't understand. For the small miners, you won't have 10 spare S9 hash boards lying around to swap out as boards fail. I'd take the 25-35% lower hashrate to never have to ship back units for repairs. As BTC prices rise, the extra hash rate gets washed away as well.
$1K USD, shipped using escrow?
Appreciate the offer but will have to pass
Might be a shot in the dark, but any chance of .4BTC for 3 of them? Looking to max out a 741 controller...
Don't mean to clutter up the thread, but I can't PM you bc of my newbie status.

We are close... I could probably do ~0.45 BTC but would like to get my money out of them... Looks like they are still selling for about $2k on eBay

Hi all,
I'm looking to sell Canaan Avalon 741s that I received about a month ago. Units are in great working condition and only cosmetic scratches on the casing. I'm now paying a commercial rate of about $0.15/kWh so I'm looking to sell.
Happy to use escrows from this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2439910.0).
Please PM me or post below.
Thanks
[Update Jan 29th] 12 working / "like new" units remaining @ 0.16 BTC / unit -- Includes AUM3 cables, generic Raspberry Pi 3 controller (i.e. official firmware but not the Canaan case) but NO power supply. Shipping included to USA. Can include a 1600W Chinese PSU for $125 (tested and work "like new" on 240V -- have not tested on 120V)
Total for Avalon 741 + controller = 0.16 BTC which includes ground shipping in USA
[Update Jan 31st] 8 units remaining
[Update Feb 1] 6 units left
[Update Feb 2] 5 units left
[Update Feb 3] All sold!

I know there is a co-location thread, but it seems like we are left with mostly (1) questionable hosts ie Gigawatt (2) prices well above $100 per S9, etc
Is there much interest in alternative options for co-location at ~$90/month ? I am looking at leasing some space to do a small scale farm (~100-200 machines) and wanted to see what the appetite would be for another hosting option in the US.

Re: [Dash Mining Pool] Unofficial List and Strategy Discussion
I just started a Dash pool. Is it possible to add to the list? I just fired it up yesterday so still looking for first miners.

The left wall of my garage is a shared wall with the master bedroom. It's currently insulated with fiberglass insulation. I can still hear the miners through the wall.
Has anyone tried soundproofing a garage wall where you have miners in the garage? I am looking at Roxul Safe'n'Sound, Green Glue, etc and wasn't sure if any of these products worked.

I always offer them to take a demo model and run a long thread.
After 2-3 weeks use I return it or buy it.

I really wish they would send you one to test out. Did you already contact them and did they reply or just straight up ignore you?
The emails are above.
To repeat less then a day of email contact and they opened presales two weeks early.
Read those emails and draw your own conclusion as to why they opened preorders early.
Also draw your own conclusion as to why they told me pay for the demo up front.
That seems questionable at best. They stand to make $10-100mm/year and can't sacrifice $500 (likely unit cost?) to etablish a reputation in the community?
I've been a fan of your reviews and purchased $10k worth of Avalon 741 (great units btw) based on your recommendation.
Syan seems penny wise and pound foolish.
Hi I'm just wondering which of your fans if any are being used for intake. You should be able to find a decent combination with what you have to bring air in low and exhaust air out higher up. Also mounting the units as low as possible to the ground will help keep their intake temperatures lower.
Depending on how things are mounted you could just duct the intake fan to ensure that you are bringing that air in close to ground level. Good luck

Right now, I've tried both as exhaust mode or 1 window fan as intake / 1 as exhaust
It may work to try sidehack's approach -- set both fans to intake and install 2 gable vents high up
I have about 12 ASICs going in my garage and thought I had enough ventilation to expand to ~20 but am struggling to maintain temperatures.
Outside: 70 F
Inside: 85-90 F
Fans:
2 x Window fan @ 3500 CFM
1 x drum fan @ 17000 CFM
1 Pedestal fan @ 3000 CFM
I've tried various combinations.. It works pretty well with garage wide open and window fans on high -- but that isn't very secure... I've tried cracking garage door but don't get enough airflow...
I didn't want to have flex duct running all over the place either and metal duct wouldn't care away enough heat (i.e. 22" duct is at most 2000 CFM?)
Could use help on what the most efficient way to ventilate the space to outside is... It never gets above 90 F outside-- usually 50-70 F

Re: [ANN] KRAKEN.COM - Exchange with USD EUR GBP JPY CAD BTC LTC XRP NMC XDG STR ETH
I'm in same boat as you... I have a Kraken Tier 4 verified account + business checking account. The names on both accounts match and all the documentation should be in order. I'm able to deposit BTC / sell BTC, but when I go to withdraw USD I receive the error "Failed" with no explanation.
I've opened tickets with support and tried escalating on Reddit / Bitcointalk but have not heard a single word from Kraken.

Let me know if you resolve it. I have never done a withdraw with Kraken but they verified all my details so it should work. I called my bank and they did not see an attempt to wire on their end.
Have you got it to work before?
I have not... I am opening an account with GDAX now and starting verification process... At this point, whoever can start making this happen first will get my business from here on out
Re: [ANN] KRAKEN.COM - Exchange with USD EUR GBP JPY CAD BTC LTC XRP NMC XDG STR ETH
Hmm anyone got any suggestions. I am Tier 4 and I did a small withdraw of a few thousand to make sure I set up everything correctly but both times I tried this the bank wire failed?
What country are you based in? If you are based in Europe, you shouldn´t have any problems
making a SEPA withdrawal.
In other countries, getting a successful wire transfer can be more difficult as you can read
in previous posts of other posters.
USA.

What reason did they give you?Nothing yet I put a ticket in the other day. Confused if it is something I forgot I just got my account fully configured earlier this week for tier 4 and opened my business bank account maybe 2 weeks prior so everything should be valid.

Still waiting on support ticket #708488... I have escalated here and using the reddit escalation link...
No issues getting money into Kraken, trading, etc. I am tier 4 verified... Go to withdraw, failure... no response from support... Does not make me feel good as a business having my money trapped at Kraken with no one to contact
