Interested but before I spend 35 BTC on chips only, is your service 100% guaranteed to happen or 90%... or less? What happens if Avalon releases info that make your plans change and price rise (or lower)?
Not trying to shoot you down, I am really interested, but being completely incapable myself of doing PCB or building these, I am not willing to spend 35 BTC on chips if something happens making this project not viable and me ending sitting on 400 useless chips.
Dude, There is nothing guaranteed in life in general and you know it. However burnin seems qualified to do the job to the end. And most important he will make great contribution to the community also, So if you fill that you wanna safe bet go and get GPU it will mine 100%  |

The title explains most of it.
I am looking to buy a Rig to use ASAP. I am not worrying about Electricity since I get it free.
Willing to deal with Escrow.
You can have one right now for about 25K and it would not be mine  No joking look for FPGA rig or GPU rig and mine LTC |

ok ok So I have received 2/3 of my total avalon order. the last batch of 5 units, two of them were basically mutilated. all the modules were broken off the backplane, the screw holes stripped, the wifi wire disconnected and the TPLINK completetly dead. Of course this sucks in many many ways especially since I am still owed a number of units At any rate I can set the units on their sides and use them if I have good TPLINKS and I would like everyone's advise for using this as a replacement: http://www.cutedigi.com/robotics/tl-wr703n-clone-with-openwrt-usb-camera-support-ttl-uart.htmlI also ordered some regular TPLINK routers so I can rip the boards out and try to load openwrt onto them if I need to: http://dx.com/p/tp-link-tl-wr703n-mini-3g-2-4ghz-802-11b-g-n-150mbps-wireless-router-blue-158552it sucks to have 120gh/s sitting around doing nothing, but im doing the best I can, oh yeah and one of the modules was smashed so bad during shipping that two of the capacitors snapped off, so my plan is if I can get these tplink boards to work is to make a 4 module miner and a 1 module miner. also noticed they are putting 750watt 80 plus gold PSU's in the units some japanese off brand instead of the 650watts antec as before I will update my progress to this thread if I have any luck and any and all advice is appreciated. Aluminum is basically the softness metal they could of conceivably used for the module heat sinks and thats why they are snapping off and stripping the screw holes during shipping - you could of saved a lot of trouble and made a much better product by using copper. Just curious anyone experienced the same problems? Or have some advice? -JJ Dude, If a were you, amusing that All is good except tplink-routers i would setup a linux pc immediately and plug all that is working in there without hesitation. The key point your Controller to be fine not smashed (even if it is smashed) i see you have a lot of units and you can find healthy ones and use all four ASIC boards on a single controller with appropriate PSU |

I didn't declare the real value but still higher than zero Still, $30 is not a big deal, I wish they could just pay for it and deduct the cost from my rebate. That is bad dude it means that a lot of us will have same problem  PS: is there an option to pay to DHL instead for the customs. This will save us some trouble? |

DHL just called me and told me that there is a $30 import duty for my FPGAs and Yifo & co refuses to pay for that.
Avalon doesn't answer support questions so what do I do now? If I don't hear from them soon the package is returned to me!
What was declared value of your RMA? if it was to high shit can happen:) RMA means broken so 10 USD should be more than enough and duty free 10X |

Thanks Bogart, However these were samples only. As long as i know it would be a pain in the ass for PCB assembly (feeding the machine with chips) if Avalon ship the chips like this. Let us kindly wait for Avalon input on this. Best |

Dear Avalon team,
Would you be so kind to inform us how the 10K chips will be packed and shipped to us - on reel or tray?
Best

For what ever reason I've also the idea that on ozco.in i'm mining 'slower' than on BTCGuild / Slush.
However, I'm not sure if there is a way to 'prove' that.
Calc your hash rate based on diff1 shsares to be 100% sure what your speed is. Folow my posts and kano replies in Lancelot thread around page 21 |

Can anyone tell me, if these are normal values for the avalon. HW error seems still pretty high. Updated to 20130410 (next-testing) firmware recently. Cgminer runs at 282M(Advance): [Elapsed] => 41011 [MHS av] => 67092.46 [Found Blocks] => 0 [Getworks] => 1495 [Accepted] => 9909 [Rejected] => 52 [Hardware Errors] => 827 [Utility] => 14.50 [Discarded] => 2785 [Stale] => 0 [Get Failures] => 0 Can there be anything else done? Am I loosing lots of coins due to that high error-rate? Dude, Your utilty seems low as i see it.It is possible to have loose cable and one of your modules not to hash at all. Disasemble unit and check all cabels My utility is about 22 if i rember which makes sense you are mining with two modules only I've 15.7 and are mining with 71-78ghs with extreme mode, I suppose that's normal? It may be mistake. I can check it tomorow and i will let you know |

Zefir. Just to be clear. Are you reselling chips at the same cost you purchased them? Ifso, what is your motivation to buy 10,000 chips and distribute them at the same price (no profit)?
It is clearly explained in post. Please read it carefuly before you ask. 1. No he is not reselling the chips at same cost. He is adding extra which is quite normal and acceptable. Do you have 780 BTC to spend? And take all the risk for your investment alone? I guess no? Same as me.. |

Seems reasonable price. Can you consider the escrow with john as an option? 10X PS: Or john recommendation (vote) will be enough for me Just him PS: Zefir I am in. No time to wait john and i have cheeked my PM's. I missed some info there because of the excitement |

Since this "is" Avalon users thread let us poor people know how much money you guys have made that you have CASHED in, NOT how many bitcoins you have accumulated. I'm quite curious. Of course if you want to refrain from letting us know how much money you have made that is your liberty and don't need any nasty offending comments that I've offended you for asking. I just want to sulk and go into a deep depression from hearing all the numbers. you ask for it :p 20k$ in a month, my year's salary  And a happy pill 24x7 |

I wanted to help out one of my favorite pools so I made mine 5% my tiny 1.2Gh/s should still do a little good to help keep this pool up and running.
Thanks, that is much appreciated! We have a few users donating a lot and many users donating zero. That's why we're moving to a 1% fee. That will be more fair and you won't have to carry the users who don't donate. Doc, I do not want mess up with your decision about donations and fees. My feeling is the everyone shall donate. As you know there is no free lunch. And you work too much to make us happy. A starting minimum donation of 0.5% for everyone shall be fare. Who does not like it is free to go. You deserve more than that but it will be small portion at least. And it will be paid of from NMC income. Guys with 0.5% donation will still earn about 1.5% on top from NMC income Best |

What a dream, I wake up immediately.
