borachinua   ------    has paid for 9 units to go to sidehack for hosting
tlhIlwI  ------------    has paid for 1 unit  he is in Tenn  same state as kilo17 most likely Kilo17 will send him one from his shipment of 60

https://blockchain.info/tx/8d8cfd6854ce5aa2125065440d6ab845304c8e46bae7cdae3650b8bdbc170bc7  for 9 + shipping

note that borachinua added 0.50  0.37 btc  for shipping and handing of the 9 units.


https://blockchain.info/tx/daca4b4d66a1a9ba83edcab7a4beec896ca0da2c8ae8bf5ec069de6090ac5bea  for 1 unit + shipping




what I am going to do is transfer the coins from the group buy to blockC btc addy

As holding large amounts of coins is not something I like to do.

So I have coins for 11 units.

I am waiting on the coins  to confirm.


https://blockchain.info/tx/f36c42c7e58d2e75c98ff5551864cfc6bb3292409de5ea3b21930c685a534b62



We are doing a second group buy:
You can get just 1  or order more.


I directly sent pm's to:

sloopy------------------------iffy

borachinua ---------------- has paid in for 9

valkir ---------------------- iffy
philipma1957 ------------- one or two more ----  this is me I paid for 1 unit
buysolar ------------------ iffy
jonnybravo0311 ---------- he will be getting some.

tlhIlwI ------------------------   paid for 1 unit
talks_cheep


Basically same as before.  1100 + small shipping added.  say 12 to 20 bucks

If you are west coast   direct from blockC
If your are center        Kilo17 will handle from his drop shipment of 60--- need a confirm.
If you are east coast   I will handle it

Payments will go here then to blockC

Avalon6 Group Buy - 1BHKKrAh5oTacQnmjfACXjE9cGyFRR8rV

match it to my profile I will send pm's out for quoting back pricing in btc.





https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=64507









From the last thread.
we may be doing a new order.

philipma1957    getting 1
sloopy              getting 2
borachinua        getting 7-9?
valkir                     ?   will reply by the 27th

looks like we may be able to do this.




https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=64507


Avalon6 Group Buy - 1BHKKrAh5oTacQnmjfACXjE9cGyFRR8rVD

will be same address

will be 1100 all parts plug n play
very small fee for shipping.

12 to 25 per unit  last time the highest fee for 1 unit was 20 bucks from NJ to FL

I directly sent pm's to:
sloopy------------------------  iffy
borachinua ---------------- has a strong interest in some more
valkir ---------------------- iffy
philipma1957 -------------  one or two more
buysolar ------------------ iffy
jonnybravo0311 ----------  no reply as of now

kilo17 is doing a large purchase and we will combine for the discount.

Do not send coins into address with out multiple pm's.


I think I need to break this out onto a second thread. From old thread.

I'm interested in this, for 2 units. Since I'm in California, can BlockC ship them directly to me?

This  is what we did last group buy  for 1 person in Cali and for 1 person in Oregon

Blockc shipped  3 units to west coast.  and 4 units  to center in Rolla, Mo

He then dropped shipped 10 to me in NJ

  I think he would handle west coast

I would handle east coast

This time kilo17 may do the center

I just want to mention that I was in on the last group buy and it was handled extremely well.  The unit I ordered arrived quickly and has been running great.

that's why I'm getting more.

Thanks for pulling this together again.

https://blockchain.info/tx/86ac9939ee02a134057acb472a6703251faba6a278219cfdfb6f86227e184045

https://blockchain.info/address/1BHKKrAh5oTacQnmjfACXjE9cGyFRR8rVD


Do not send in btc with out pm talks as I assign you a btc number.  with dust as a code.

so I was 2.79800000    last 4 numbers are 0000 no one else will pay exactly 2.79800000 for 1 piece.

i for one am certainly curious why these would hash better. what has changed?

Yan told me more then 1000 new machines arrived yesterday at his warehouse.

They are a new revision with a different chip arrangement they should give better gh

3600-3700  at 12 volts and 3800-3900 at 12.2 volts. (max)

So in theory  these are a little better. then last batch.

He did not give me watts per gh  info.

Did Yan indicate if the actual power consumption increased? Is it still "roughly 1000W" or what? It's really odd that Avalon would make this kind of change and not make a bigger deal about it.

  He is running around like mad setting up shipments just told me it will be a version 2.

If they use more watts I am not sure , but they will hash more at the 12 volt level and the 12.2 volt level.

more watts is okay if watts per gh is .30 at the 12 volt level  Ie

1000 for 3375

becomes

1060 for 3600 both are at .30 watts a gh.

As holding large amounts of coins is not something I like to do.

So I have coins for 11 units.

I am waiting on the coins  to confirm.

Phil,

The BTC went down during the night. Is the price still the same ? 2.798 ?

I will take a decision soon. I'm still undecided ... hard to ROI even with my low electricity cost.

Thanks :)

That's about how I felt about it too.  Last year I did really well (150% ROI when including hardware and electricity), but with halving just around the corner I can't make the numbers work at all unless the BTC price goes ridiculous.  At the same time, I've resorted to putting my SP20s right inside the HVAC return duct to not have to reduce them to minimal settings.  I'm going to be down completely by spring if I don't upgrade something!  I could only do one right now though.

Post by: nhando on January 28, 2016, 08:59:32 PM
i for one am certainly curious why these would hash better. what has changed?

Yan told me more then 1000 new machines arrived yesterday at his warehouse.

They are a new revision with a different chip arrangement they should give better gh

3600-3700  at 12 volts and 3800-3900 at 12.2 volts. (max)

So in theory  these are a little better. then last batch.

He did not give me watts per gh  info.

Did Yan indicate if the actual power consumption increased? Is it still "roughly 1000W" or what? It's really odd that Avalon would make this kind of change and not make a bigger deal about it.

Now this brings Avalon 6 back into the game!!  I LIKE THIS!  No need to kill it by too much overvolting.  12.2V is very safe.  Looking forward to seeing everyone's result especially wattage usage.  This is still my favorite miner with how quiet it is.

Grand total of 18 units.





Shipping

10 go to sidehack for hosting    9 are borachinua    1 is {bctmke+philipma1957}

6 go to me in NJ    1 philipma1957, 1 HerbPean, 2 TheSmokingMan, 2 jonnybravo0311



1 sloopy  in Ok needs drop ship
1 tlhIlwI  in TN needs drop ship


Okay

@ sloopy I will need a shipping address  ------ asap
@ tlhIlwI  I will need a shipping address ------ asap

@ borachinua  I have sidehack's shipping info
@ bctmke       I have sidehack's shipping info


   I will request full kits of rasp pi's wires etc.

  For all, but borachinua  you will get 1 rasp pi full kit and 9 four pin wires for a daisychain.

This will be pretty easy for yan as he will ship to 4 address's

Me
sidehack
sloopy
tlhIlwI

rather then 10 .

Yan has asked me to stream line orders as best as we can.
He has a small crew and they got a lot of gear in this week.

I bumped thread with my secondary account. judypug1956


I just got off the phone with Yan.

He will provide me with tracking this evening.

He is aware of our payments made for the 18 units total.

he said these should do 3600gh to  3700 gh at .3 watts per gh standard voltage.

So for those of you with an evga 1300 g2  these should be good to go.

now I have an interesting sidebar piece of info.

Kipper01  was nice enough to burn a mini sdcard that would work in the rasp pi model 2  the newest model.

I have been running my 2 ½ avalon 6's and  the fans and temps have been reworked with this  card.

What do you mean by fans and temps have been reworked on this version of software. The 3 I have I am running at 30%min fan to keep temps at 66-70. I thought the 72-77 was a little high with auto fan and 20% min setting. The metal brackets right around the fan were hot enough to cause a burn if held for more then 10-20 seconds. My ambient temp is 65f and miner reads incoming temp as 28-29.

So just curious what this custom version provides from what was shipped.

I think the mini sdcard for the new rasp pi  adjusts fan speed so you stay under 70f.  So far I can not find an other difference from the older rasp pi

I like you was getting 74 to 77 with the oem sdcard in the older model rasp pi.

Kipper01 told me he was coing to try the rasp pi model 2 and load the image from the website.  it does not work on the older rasp pi's

Thanks for getting me in on this Phil. Hello all.
If you ever need anything instantly just text me. For a new miner to play with I will always answer immediately haha.
 Phil, I would always get with you right away.
(By the way there is a list of addresses where you can text from your PC for all of the Cell Carriers on ZachM's Kano.IS CKPool site.)

I've wanted this Avalon miner but the cost was not working on paper, until I added a couple of other variables. The cost of RMAing parts with a-nother manufacturer has cost which must be factored in, time spent with hashboards going back and forth, time spent with hashboards going back and forth, time spent writing e-mails to go through 4 phases of life trying to get help, polite, stern, upset, pleading, passing out :)

Any tips for a new Avalon 6 user? I also haven't played with a pi, but I've played with all sorts of other similar components and I can scrape by in Linux. I do well when copying and pasting someone else's commands.
Where is the best underclock thread?
How are the failure rates? Anything special I should look out for when looking under the hood?
I checked the support section but didn't find the right manual yet. I'd like to see manufacturer specifications for power. Do you think this unit will be 1200?


Thanks all

I think it will use 1100 watts to do about 3700gh

So if you are a 120 volt guy the evga 1300 is pretty much spot on to run this gear.

Suggestions gear the room under 92f  I am setting my freq at 500 with my fans at 45%
My temps are steady at 66c  the room is about 82 f

don't get the room really hot don't over volt.

Every fail has been running boards with high volts 3 separate boards burned

at high volts like 12.7 or 12.8 input volts.

@ every one in on this buy I did not get the shipping info as of 1 am  I am going to crash.

 Yan should post them via pm to me on sat or sun

I like you was getting 74 to 77 with the oem sdcard in the older model rasp pi.

Kipper01 told me he was coing to try the rasp pi model 2 and load the image from the website.  it does not work on the older rasp pi's

I asked him to mail me a good mini sdcard for the rasp pi model 2  I tested it at  freq 500 and fan 20  and when the unit would get to temp of 70 fans ramp and cool back down. to 67 68.

Since I burned 1 hash board with  the 75-77 internals I prefer the 68-70 internals.

I since discovered if  set at 42% my temps stay flat at 65-66  and I  never ramp up the fans are steady at

That's interesting.  I am going to switch over to the older rasp pi model this evening.  I'll see if I get similar results.

Yan was crazy busy with the shipment that arrived but he did send out tracking.

all sent ups

The six to my house in NJ

1  for me
1  for HerbPean
2  for Jonnybravo0311
2 for  TheSmokingMan

Will Arrive in NJ on Weds. With luck they will all be sent out by Thurs.

the 10 to sidehack 9 for   and 1  for bctmke-philipma1957

Will arrive on Thurs in Rolla Mo

The 1 drop ship to sloopy will arrive on thur in OK

The final drop ship to tlhIlwI

will arrive on fri in TN



I want to thank Yan   for getting all gear shipped on the 29th
I want to thank Yan for sending out the replacement hash board to me.

All these tracking numbers are UPS I will post here as they move towards destination.

I do not like giving the numbers out because of redirect issues. This is why Yan sends me the numbers via email not PM.

At the risk of sounding repetitive, thanks phillipma1957 for yet another successful group buy.

I'm wondering if the new hash rate for the "version 2" Avalons has more to do with the firmware updates than the string design. Here is a screen cap of my "Version 1" Avalon with the latest version firmware (MM & Ras Pi B) at 12.2 volts.

http://imgur.com/QyHqL8q

Seems I'm achieving the same results as "version 2" with lower volts using Jabber's/Finksy 4k watt PSU

If that's not the case, if I'm pulling 3.9 THs from a version 1 that's rated at 3.5 THs, then I should pull 4.2-4.3 THs from a version 2 Avalon with 3.8-3.9 THs hashing average. Can't wait till these bad boys/girls arrive!

What exact versions are you running on both? Trying to decide if to update my version 1 miners to what you have running. My PSU is feeding 12.1 in most cases and running getting 3.4 on avg.

To be fair, the server PSUs are pushing out 12.55v measured by my multi-meter, but the GUI is reading 12.2v.

I'm going to voltage adjust the power supply for it (a HP server supply) tonight.  What voltage at the multimeter are you all seeing for the 12.2V safe reading at the GUI?

Hope this helps. Only thing I did was open the casing for both my REV1 DPS-2000BB and adjusted the pot an 1/8th of a turn to the left. This gave me the 12.55v at the highest setting using Jabbers dual board. It was only after I did this that I noticed the external pot on the bottom left hand side I could have used instead of opening my PSUs  >:( ;D

yeah the dual 2000/4000 on high can do 12.83 and kill off your hashing board. I think I figured out why it happens and why most of us have 1 board hotter then the other.

I will post the replacement of a board in the dead board thread..

I just finished doin it and I am running my dual 2000/4000 on low volts 11.8 for a day

I'm plenty safe then since it looks like my HSTNS-PL11 doesn't go past 12.45 without more extensive mods than turning a potentiometer.  The lower end is 11.5V-- it sounds like I may need that lower end just as much as the upper end to keep from killing things when the summer heat arrives.

yep that low number will help the unit to be cool


here is the rebuilt avalon6

running it with 11.7 shows 11.5 A tiny bit more efficient

Yeah just looking at the external sticker on the fans, the new Avalon's definitely have different ones. Since the RPM is almost double on the new ones vs old ones, I wonder if they have to run that high in order to provide the same static pressure as the old fans? If this is the case, I'll have to see if I can buy two of the old fan models and swap them out.

How louder is the new fan ?

I guess they needed the extra power since they hash a bit more then the Rev 1 ?

it is at least 5db more.

 I have one set at
 freq 500
 fan 55

it gives higher hash  and is louder.


I will do some fan tests the next weekend.

I just ordered x2 of the FFC1212DE fans from eBay and will post up once they arrive and I have them installed.

Phillima1957 - I just sent the last of the BTC to cover my 2nd Avalon. Please let me know if I owe additional and thank you for your kindness. It is greatly appreciated and definitely solidifies you as a class act and a true gentleman. Thank you sir!  ;D

 current value of the repayment is 1108
which is close enough to actual cost of 1115 with shipping.

I will give a trust to you since I sent  1 machine upfront on your word which does define trustworthiness in my book.

happy mining.

tlhIlwI should arrive fri ------------------------ 1

Excited!

I'm watching carefully the discussion about louder fans.  One of the big selling points for me (and my wife) was the quiet since right now I'm "winter mining" inside the house to squeeze some last profit out of my miners.  It is a little disappointing to hear the fan was revised, but at the same time I would much rather have a v2 model with a higher hash rate than a v1 with a quiet fan.  My miners will be moving back to the garage in less than two months anyway.  The new fan can't be any louder than my SP20s are right now (at least I hope not)!

Out of curiosity, what voltage and hash rate can I expect in the GUI with a multimeter reading of 12.42V?  The basic modification for my HP HSTNS-PL11 supply only goes to just a little below 12.45V, so I'm curious if it is worth additional reverse engineering of the supply to find another 0.1V range or if I'm only looking at 20GH or so difference at that end of the adjustment range.

BTW, I shot and edited some howto video for modifying the HSTNS-PL11 for use with an Avalon6 that I will upload to YouTube after I get one last shot with the supply attached to the miner.  Actually, I'm thinking about making it the first video of a mining channel if there is any interest.

leave it at 12.45 it is a safe voltage. you should be near 3650 with 12.45

 I am at 12.3 volts and 3506 gh on the newer unit.

down the road I am going to visit putting on new thermal paste as I have the one unit out of warranty.

Thanks very much Phil.
I know the package is safely in my home waiting for me.
I will be inspecting and firing up soon!

Yeah the new Fan is clearly not as good as the first one sound wise.

I'm going to replace it.

The pinch isn't cool (Not that bad but still) vs the Rev 1.

EDIT: Right off the bat (2 min only) but pushing 350 more GH

Yeah I got more gh with mine. I have quite a few fans will try some of them.

Actually, I had a surprise tonight while preparing things for tomorrow.  I had a poor probe connection when I took the reading (it shows up in the video too)-- the max voltage I was getting from the supply was really 12.62V, not 12.45V!  With a range from 11.5V to 12.6V these supplies are almost perfect for the application.  I'm annotating the video to correct the error.

I'm running shorter PCI-E leads (only 8 inches), so I'll probably not need the full 12.55 to get 12.2 in the UI (less loss in the cabling).  I'll see tomorrow.

My Rev 2 is showing 12.1-12.2 and my Rev 1 11.9-12 with the same 4K IBM PSU showing 12.13V at the voltmeter.

They made a change with the voltage control in the Rev 2, not sure i'm going to push the voltage anymore.

Rev1: 3419 GH/S
Rev2: 3784 GH/S

IMO, it's really a good miner.

Phil, Thanks again for both group by !  ;D

Good everyone has been delivered except for tlhIlwI

his is on the truck for delivery.


So with luck in a few hours all gear will be delivered and work.


I have interest in 4 more units so far.

2 to UK
1 to me
1 to New York

I may do a third buy:

I need the last one from buy two to arrive today.
I will need 10 units min.
I need to be paid for the loan on 1 avalon6.
I am hopefull to try to organize for the third buy.

Maybe this weekend

See if they are going to be dropping the price some to compete with batch 10 pricing & the 20% diff increase. I'm willing to wait if it means a few hundred savings.

Yeah  Me too.  I hope they will drop price.

I will need to make sure this one is wrapped up.

so when bctmke pays me for the loan on his
and when tlhIlwI's arrives.



I will ask kilo17 and Yan if there will be a price drop  for a group buy three. I should know what is going on soon.

Despite the noise, I'm liking the numbers on the Version 2 Avalons, so I could go for 2-4 if there is a decent price drop. If not, then I would likely be in for 1 more, as it's bugging me that I'm only a few THs away from breaking the 20THs barrier.

So far I'm getting roughly 11.5~7THs from my x1 v1 Avalon and x2 v2 Avalons. PDU says I'm pulling 16amps on 220v, so I believe that equates to 1173watts per Avalon. Not too bad for 3,900~4,000 GHs each
