Wait, what’s the price though?

If Bitcoin crashes, shouldn't fees drop? But who knows, it could just as easily lead to more transactions.

Don’t forget, you gotta run the April 4th firmware in LowPower mode for better performance. It really makes a difference.

Just wanted to drop my thoughts on the new Pi firmware and MMC update. So, here’s the deal: you gotta grab the firmware from the Canaan site. First things first, use system->flash firmware to update your Raspberry Pi…

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

Glad that info helped you! Feel free to share it around if you'd like.

We have an issue too with Blokforge. Ordered a few S19's and they shipped pretty smoothly. Last order in late Sept was fine, but now I ordered another one and it’s crickets after sending money.

Got it. Good to hear you got a reply. Maybe share what you find here? I think others would be interested.

Finally heard back from them. They said they are short-staffed, which isn’t my problem. But now my S19J Pros jumped in price from $10,250 to $12,000. They offered a measly $200 off, which still leaves a hefty price…

I’ve tried calling several times today, no one answers on the phone or online chat. Finally saw someone join the chat after hours. It’s Columbus Day, so maybe that’s messing things up.

"Due to high call volume, please email us or submit a ticket." Yeah, I’ve heard that one before, so annoying. Tried again and got the same dead end hours later.

Actually, yes. I handle most payments in BTC for tax reasons to keep it clean. Cash refunds mean I have to declare it for taxes, which is a pain.

I bought like 50 machines from them back in the day. Their support was awesome back then. Now? Not so much. I found a legit phone number and plan to call tomorrow. I’ll push for a credit on the BTC I paid, not the cash…

A month has passed. I've sent several emails, many begging for a response. It's like I keep getting a different support rep, and I have to start from scratch each time. Frustrated doesn’t begin to cover it. The ticket…

Just got an email from them. Their ticket system isn’t updating, though. DHL and FedEx are causing problems with weight limits. Still, if they say 2-14 days, that should be it. A month later is ridiculous.

I ordered two S19Pros on September 5. They said shipping would be 2-14 days, but now it’s been weeks and they’re backordered. I chatted with them earlier, and no clue when it’ll arrive. Thought they had stock since they…

Anyone know which companies will be using those new Intel chips? I saw that some big mining firms are set to get them first, but I didn't see any mention of options for home users. Seems like a missed opportunity...

Blokforge usually includes that 27% tax in their pricing, while Eastshore doesn't mention it. Just a heads-up. Oh, and I got about 50 Avalons from Blokforge way back in 2018. They were awesome to deal with.
