AvalonMiner: Canaan's miners in FARMGOD
Canaan builds the AvalonMiner for farms and the Avalon Nano, Mini and Q for the home. Which of them FARMGOD supports, and what each one lets you do.
Canaan is one of the oldest names in ASIC mining. Its machines mine SHA-256 and come in two very different sizes.
For the farm: AvalonMiner
The full-size AvalonMiners, from the A10 series (such as the 1066) through the A11, A12, A13 and A14 series to the A15 and A16.
For the home: Nano, Mini and Q
The Avalon Nano 3 and Nano 3S, the Avalon Mini 3 and the Avalon Q: small machines for home mining.
