Title: My Avalon batch 3 on its way!
Post by: Tyger on July 20, 2013, 10:46:04 AM
So ive been waiting forever to get it here. now ive gotten a mail from customs to give my VAT and clearance instructions.
Not that i have those, so ive send that back.

Anyway, there is a pdf in the mail containing a package scan giving me the tracking number and all that (Clearance processing complete)

Just wondering if im the first ;D it was send on friday.

Welcome to the club :)

Here's to ROI by October.  I think a lot of that depends on KNC Miner, and by not requesting a refund, I am betting that KNC won't be able to keep the ambitious deadlines they've promised.  And the fallout from that will be fun to watch.

Do you not consider bitfury and 100TH (though projected 70TH) mine a threat to ROI more than KNC? 

Oh... Gratz Tyger!  Was it a 3 or 4 module model?
I am a bit jealous.

If 100TH were brought online that would take the hashrate from 221Th to 321Th, so that would take the difficulty to what, 41 mil? It's only about a 41% increase

Make sure to remove all plastic covering the Avalon, that way you have to open the Avalon because the screws need to be removed ;)

Here is a pic  :P

Check the Avalon Tab at the bottom.

I recommend using Google Chrome for it.

I would recommend to all that you shake the unit and keep turning it around over your head to listen for screws - after an external visual check.

You won't see a screw beneath a PCB.
