Canaan Avalanche – Home Bitcoin Miner, Heater & Light Display
Recently connected with the team at Canaan who is coming out with a new home device - the Avalon Nano
I was sent one and it arrived quickly here in Thailand without much Thai customs (25 USD or about 800 thai baht to import to Thailand) and boy
So today I’d like to talk about this fun home bitcoin miner by the Canaan brand - Avalanche
It is truly plug and play - no setup at all needed.
Here are the steps I followed :
Some highlights I learned.
Finding your mining Pool login
Scan the QR code on the bottom of the miner.
Create an account - and you have it.
It is not earning too much - about 5 USD in a couple months of running it. But still a cool heater and LED light in my home office. And feels more connected to the Bitcoin network.
IS IT EASY TO SETUP.
Easiest miner I have ever plugged in.
The instructions are only a few pages (thicker booklet as it is in about 8 languages)
Here’s the steps:
Plug it in.
- Download the ios or Android app
- Connect your phone to the wifi of the Avalon Nano (you’ll see it on the wifi list)
- Open the Avalon app
- Add this miner
- It configures automatically
- It prompts you to connect the miner to the wifi network at your home / office. You then re-connect your phone to the same home / office wifi
And it is running!
You can use the app to change:
- Lighting system - so you have various light display modes - loop, constant, flicker
- You can remove the grill to change the lighting system
- Change the heating level - to keep you warmer.
You can change the miner settings - in advanced. I am still learning this.
The manufacturer tells me this for checking how much bitcoin you have mined:
It is a small miner but earns like 0.5 usd per day might be the best.
In the Braiins pool there can see the earnings.
Every miner has its own 4 digit number.
Customers can link their wallet with the pool, but sometimes there can be least limited amounts of money withdrawal.
