Last year, the A1246 series dropped. It's Avalon’s 12th gen miner. What was the first Avalon miner you got?

I picked up an A721 like 2 months after release. Then got 2x 741s, 2x 821s, and 12x 841s as they rolled out. Also had 921s, 1041s, 1047s, and now the A1246 93TH.

Thanks for the support! Are you mining at home or using a farm? But honestly, those older models should be off since bitcoin's current prices, right?

Haven't tried one yet due to home mining issues. I'd love something as efficient as your 12th gen in a smaller size. Like, instead of $3,333 for 96TH and 3420W, how about $1600 for 48TH and 1710W? Or even $800 for 24TH at 850W? That would really compete with Apollo BTC but with way better hash rate.

I’ve got 40 Avalon 841s. They kinda suck if I'm being honest. Not stable at all compared to other gear. And I got them used, so maybe that’s on me.

My 1246 is working, my 1166 is fine, and 1066s are good too. Only 1 of 3 1046s works. My 921 burnt out, 851s were bad, but 841s did well. My 721 is still mining, and my 621 is the quietest when downclocked.

I have a 1066, but it's down at the moment. Would really help if Avalon released some manuals. There’s not enough maintenance info out there. I want to grab a 1246 but no schematics are available.

Wow, thanks for your support! I see you signed up in 2012, almost around when we launched our first miner! If we ever give awards for long-time users, you're a shoo-in.

Really appreciate that! Even though I'm not on the R&D team, I’ll pass your feedback along. Cheers!

That’s a bummer. A8 and A9 Series had pretty solid reputations for stability. Can’t guarantee used miners perform like new ones though. If you buy new, you get 360 days of service.

I checked my notes, turns out my first was an A421, not the A621. I'm eyeing those A1246 units when your new US store opens.

Anyone have experience with the A1126 Pro-S model? They’re cheaper than other models with similar hashrate. What's up with that?

The power efficiency is a bit higher than others. If you have solid power resources, it's a decent deal. Check out our store for more info!
