Cold enough this morning to fire up the Avalon Nano. The miner itself started fine but the app struggled both to find it and maintain connection to it a few minutes later. Public Pool did confirm that it's hashing even when the app couldn't find it.
You can type the displayed IP address on the miner into a browser but all that does is display a QR code for you to scan with the app. AxeOS web interface is definitely the better experience for beginners.
Unfortunately, it seems like the Bitaxe community is focused more on efficiency so if USD-per-watt initial investment cost is your main concern, the Avalon wins. I don't think it's currently possible to get 131W of heat from a collection of Bitaxes for anywhere close to the price of the Avalon Nano.
