I was missed to.
I can feel your pain... Guess we all can take a zip of the last bottle.. Last bottle should be a keg ... I need more than a sip. |

Finally got my Jalapeno in the mail today. Paid a total of $163 USD on Sep 1 including shipping, no upgrades, running at 5.1 GH/s. Even came with a mug. Seems like a good deal compared to what ASICs are going for today. The batch 1 Avalon underneath the Jalapeno also turned out to be a really good deal. https://i.imgur.com/fRMD6Xt.jpgLooks lik you got a fair amount of rigs there  Block Exploders to the left and BFL FPGAs in the background? What are you hashing at? Pretty much what you see in the picture - 102 GH/s all clustered around that A/C. I have another 10 Gh/s of odds and ends (GPUs, USB Erupters) scattered at other locations. |

Its easier to predict the global hash rate than difficulty. Predicting difficulty is wasting of time.
Huh? The relationship between the two is very simple. Global Hash Rate = 7,158,388 * Difficulty |

Here is the spreadsheet.
Did you really just use a 62 billion difficulty prediction within 12 months.... Use a more conservative number. Use 1%, then 2%. etc http://dot-bit.org/tools/nextDifficulty.phpIf you want to make the curves on your own you can change the table at the right. The next difficulty is 24%. Far higher than what my chart shows. That means you are about to lose 24% of everything you would have made in the next year if difficulty remained absolutely flat. What do you think it will be next week? 2%? Each successive 15% is a smaller proportion of the pie than the last. So it should be a good median start. The 15% or 24% increase every difficulty change will not sustain for an entire year. At some point it will start tapering off well before we hit 62 billion. In parts of the world with expensive electricity, ASIC miners and Avalons will start becoming unprofitable to operate at around the 500 million difficulty mark (at current exchange rates). People would have to be really stupid to keep buying when we get close to that point. |

tickets getting resolved? well, it's miracle, my ticket #954 is not resolved as previous ones.
Neither is mine (#967). I think I submitted it about 5 hours after receiving the email from Avalon telling us to resubmit tickets for missing orders. |

Forget what you paid for the miner. The only important things about the miner are: - Its potential future earnings, in BTC and in fiat. This requires estimating difficulty and exchange rate at various points in time in the future
- What people are willing to pay for the miner now. You might get a good deal selling it to someone.

Why does everyone think/assume so?!
Congnitive bias. |

What am I looking at? Is that ASIC?
Looks like FPGA dev boards to me. |
|
|
|

I still have unused game codes that came with 7970's that blew up almost a year ago.

Don't compare to GPUs. A 2% HW error rate is not uncommon with ASICs.
|
|
|
|
|
It is also easy to start tripping the breakers in a regular home when you start spending upwards of $10K on GPUs.
How many amps of free electricity can you practically get anyway?

Ken;
Zhang always say they should be left horizontal not vertical.
congrats. I should be posting my arrival pics right after santa claus drops them off....
I really think it takes big balls for Yifu to be upset that someone woke him up when he basically had the power to stop it himself by providing updates in a timely manner after he knew the information in his last update was WRONG. Take some responsibility on why all these people are "bothering" you, it is because you are LATE and have been completely unresponsive, NOT because the people are "assholes" to interupt your slumber.
I will be furious if the chips ship before the batch IIIs
Batch 2 is much better than batch 1. They are shipping, there are notifications and tracking numbers. That's all we asked for. Well, I would say that it is also reasonable to ask for shipping in the order of pay date. |

I just checked the Trader's Book. What's up with the partial quantities shipped for some June 5 and June 6 shipments?

Guys, how do I set up my backup pool to use stratum?
The first one is easy. I have stratum proxy running on my computer. But if I want my backup pool to also use stratum, would I enter the same ip and just have a separate instance of stratum that is running all the time, not doing anything until the first pool fails? Or would itbe better to have it running on a different computer, and thus a different ip in case there is some kind of "interference"? I am afraid to test this until I get some guidance lol... Every second of mining counts especially with the difficulty hike coming up. :/
You can have multiple instances of stratum proxies running on the same computer. The default getwork listening port is 8332, but only 1 instance can use that port. The second instance must use a different port, and this can be specified using the -gp option. Edit: Oh yeah. The stratum proxy also listens on port 3333 for stratum clients, although blade users don't care about this. For multiple instances, you also need to set this to something different (use the -sp option) to avoid an error message. I usually use "-gp 18332 -sp 13333" for the second instance, "-gp 28332 -sp 23333" for the third instance, etc. |

At least they were smart enough to remove the audio jacks. |

They are real, but I wouldn't buy anything from them.
A) They were overpriced to begin with.
B) Tom moved his MMQ business and started "developing" ASICs, and was selling a 72GH/s bASIC. The project flopped, Tom went off the deep end, and all of his customers basically got screwed.
C) ASICs from ASICMiner, Avalon, and even BFL are starting to pour in, making this useless.
What exactly happened? How'd he screw everyone over? Just curious He took a bunch of pre-orders for his bASIC product line and tied up people's money for 5-6 months or more. I don't think everyone was equally screwed over though. Most of the people who paid with credit cards were quickly refunded. I had several CC orders and every penny of every one of them was refunded. For those people who paid in BTC it was a different story. The refunds were a lot slower, and to make things worse because the USD value of BTC had gone up they got a lot less BTC back. It is also not clear to me whether everyone got paid back fully. |

How about those Feb 2 or Feb 3 orders that are still missing from the Avalon store. Has anyone with such an order heard anything in the past few days?

Yes, I ran mine in 192.168.0/24 just fine - didn't try any other netmask though.
Has anyone successfully operated these blades in a subnet other than 192.168.1.0/24?
I was unable to switch to other subnets (tried 192.168.15.0/24 and 172.25.100.0/16), so I am just assuming that this is another one of the quirks of the communications firmware.
I run it on other than default subnet with /24 mask. OK, thanks. I must have missed something. |
