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)? 🙏

So this was the one I found 🤔 they have options up to 70 TH/s but it seems that Canaan & Avalon are intertwined companies but perhaps not perfectly identical?
