This thing is quiet, compact, and designed for home mining the Avalon Q (90 TH/s). Has anyone here given the new Canaan Avalon Q a shot? It’s a Bitcoin miner built for home use, cranking out 90 TH/s without being super loud finally, you can mine without it sounding like a jet taking off. Check out the specs and prices at this link. There’s even a full installation video online. Wondering if this could kick off a real home mining trend again?

If you don't mind spending $3,000 on the lottery, you can buy this model for solo mining and mine for more than 1 year. Buying this model to recoup your investment in 2 years or more makes no sense.

So basically, it's the modern and updated equivalent of the old Antminer R4? Not bad. Isn't it 18.6/Ths?

buying a miner like this only makes sense if you want a space heater. now you may need a space heater then this is okay. my 1 card / hashboard s19 pro s19xp t21 are better if you need a space heater as they are cheaper and can do 500 to 1000watts the pro does 28th. about 29 watts a th the xp does 35th.  about 23 watts a th the t21 does 50th. about 20watts a th

In my country this ASIC will cost 2000 dollars with shipping and another 1000 dollars will be spent on electricity for 14 months of solo mining This ASIC is profitable until new models come out in 2026

I've always like this Asic miner because of the power modes available, if you are on solar you can mine at the highest power mode when the sun is up and go Eco mode when running on battery, this is like a dream come true for someone like me. What's stopping me right now is this bull market, what will happen after Bitcoin is done making a new all time high? I am sure the daily reward won't be 7 or 8 dollars any more, it will take a year to make the money back and that's if Bitcoin maintain it's present Value for a year. It's always a better plan to buy Asic miners in a very bad market, the price will be cheaper and the return will be fair enough, it's better to make back your ROI first before considering using this device for solo mining.

This ASIC pays for itself in free electricity in one year now, but you need to consider the fact that mining difficulty grows by 20-30% per year. Solo mining luck gives a rate of 1 in 192 per year

From my personal experience these are the hashrates at around 30°C room temp (+/- 5%): Super: 95 TH/s Standard: 80 TH/s Eco: 55 TH/s

55 TH/s and 800 watts are not bad for home solo mining, but this ASIC is still too expensive

You're right, I still got myself one because I haven't found a better way to use the surplus energy from my PV setup meaningfully. Especially, since politics are planning to take additional fee's for selling them my "green energy". For my understanding, I paid extra for the great noise levels which makes it feasible to put it into my living room and save a bit on heating.

To hell with politicians, in a year you will recoup your investments and you can already play the mining lottery. You still won't be able to make a lot of profit with regular mining on such an ASIC.
