I heard the tech behind the A761 is similar to the A741, but with better parts and a stronger PSU. Any thoughts?

Exactly! The A761 has more A3212 chips and a different design, which is a big upgrade.

Interesting! I’m curious about their technician certification program. Seems way more customer-friendly than what Bitmain offers.

For real, Canaan is way more open about tech and training. It builds confidence for sure.

I'd love to get into miner repairs. Canaan's training might be a big deal.

Does anyone know if they’re still looking for trainers or techs? I've worked with tons of Avalons.

They probably are, but Canaan’s recruiting vibe is low-key. I doubt it’s as big as Bitmain’s program.

Bitmain seems to keep their training under wraps. I just heard about it through the grapevine.

If anyone's visiting China, it’d be cool to check out both Bitmain and Canaan.

Definitely! You’ll see some stark differences in how they operate. Canaan’s facilities look way cleaner.

True, I've been to both and it’s like night and day. Canaan feels more polished.

So many of us have been burnt by bad service. Glad Canaan is focused on support.

No kidding! After using Bitmain for ages, switching to Avalon feels like a breath of fresh air.

I've bought a lot from Bitmain too, and their service has been hit or miss.

Right? They don’t cater to smaller buyers well. You either get priority or you’re just another order.

Agreed. I’m hoping Canaan can keep improving their logistics to avoid that.

I want to see them stay transparent and grow this service network even more.
