Welp. That’s a solid 222,000 sats I’ll never see again 😥⚡️💸
Never been scammed before, but it feels kinda shitty. In hindsight, the high hashrate and final-settlement-only payment methods should have tipped me off. Seeing the .org website, I assumed maybe it was the foundation behind the company, or something. But should have dug deeper.
On the other hand, I get so many scam calls and social engineering attempts, I think I felt a false sense of security around knowing what to expect or look for. But that stuff is all “outbound” scamming, rather than standing up a WooCommerce site to take payment for something they never deliver.
Definite bummer. Definitely glad it wasn’t more money. Expensive lesson learned 😔🫡

Home mining pros, I need ya ✌️
There seems to be some general confusion (see thread for example) around Avalon and Canaan mining rigs.
The linked miner (Avalon Nano 3) below is from avalonasic.org and claims to offer very high (4-70) TH/s for a home miner.
Others have used Canaan.io to buy the “Avalon nano 3” model with a max of 4 TH/s.
Pretty sure I saw that the avalonasic website is linked somewhere to Canaan’s official Nasdaq:CAN listing so I don’t think it’s an impersonator/scam. Seems to perhaps be the Japanese branch of Avalon. But I ultimately can’t tell and am starting to wonder “have I been pwnd” 😬
That they only take bank transfer and crypto is a bit of a red flag. We bitcoiners are bred to be a bit paranoid, but I also feel I should have done a bit more verify before deciding to trust.
Cc Yo Tatey Watey (npub1hte…sw3d) any industry insight you might be able to offer on the brand(s)? 🙏
