I’d suggest checking out the Avalon A1246-96T. It’s pretty popular and priced at $3333.33 on their official site. No scams, I promise! Or just shoot me an email if you want more info.

Absolutely! Upgrading from 2GB to 4GB makes a big difference. And for older systems, consider using internal drives, not USBs. USB ports age badly.

Linux Mint sounds like a solid choice, feels close to Windows. Analogies help a ton, so thanks for that! Let’s see how it goes with the old laptop, maybe with 8GB RAM, that should help.

I just wanna try running a node for fun. Following guides from learnmeabitcoin, it seems simple enough for someone like me, not a dev. I want to chip in and run my own wallet eventually.

For Linux, I’ve seen good takes on Mint and Ubuntu. It’s just hard to choose as a total beginner. Sounds like you should think about adding more RAM, maybe 4GB at minimum.

Hey everyone, I'm eager to set up my own Bitcoin node and have some questions. 1. I’ve got an old Acer laptop from 2014 with 2GB of RAM and 500GB HDD but an extra 1TB external drive. Will this work for running a node?…

And let’s be real a lot of folks have heard of Bitcoin but still just sit there. I wish I’d found it sooner, but at least I’m learning now to keep my finances safe.

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!

Hey, nice to see you back! Congrats on starting a corporation! Your company name is your ID, right? I also launched a new affiliate program; shoot me an email if you’re interested!

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.

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

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.

Sorry to hear about the troubles! You can always reach out to avalonsupport@canaan.io or customerservice@canaan.io for help. If you're looking for an A1246, check our store; we have stock in the US.

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?

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