Has anyone bought or run the Avalon Nano 3? Basically a desktop space heater / Bitcoin miner… Range from 4 to 70 TH/s and decently priced for the hash rate I think I’m gonna plug it in under my desk at the office and enjoy the free electricity. Is that bad? Any experience with the device or with Avalon in general? Thoughts, recommendations, concerns? #asknostr #homemining #nokyc

That’s awesome to hear! Between the Avalon, BitAxe, and NerdMiner, I guess I’ve gone all-in on the lottery mining 😂 I don’t even care if they never find a block (I mean it would be life-changing, but I have zero expectation of that happening lol). It’s just a great learning experience and a chance to play a tiny part of this movement that so inspires me 🫡 At 20 TH/s I might even point the Avalon at a pool and mine a few sats per day, rather than the one-in-fifty-million chance of finding each block.
Hm, I could have sworn the one I was looking at had a range from 4TH to 70TH (and price from ~$100 to $500) but now I’m not seeing it. I thought I was on the “Avalon” website at the time, but now googling it I’m only finding “Canaan-Avalon” although I thought they were distinct. Gonna have to look a little deeper when I get home 🤷‍♂️ but regardless, still stoked lol
I have never seen that before and I also found this, apparently it’s the same machine, with slightly different wording ? I know for a fact that the real company is called Canaan Creative Inc and it’s Chinese, the miners series with many models is the Avalon series and Nano 3 is the 4ths lottery miner I’m confused and I would be weary of the claim, but I don’t know anything about them canaanavalon.org/product/avalon-nano-3-4th-s/
Yeah I’m wondering if I started with a little too much trust and not quite enough verify 😬 I’m hopeful it’s just like a Japanese branch of the company since they have a few different international offices… and not an impersonator or something… it’s one of those times where one remembers the value of credit card’s ability to run a chargeback, if needed 🤦‍♂️ Gonna cross my fingers and hope for the best, I guess
