What's the rumor?

Went all the way up to 2BTC on Polo https://www.poloniex.com/exchange/btc_sync   Someone knows something.  This is good!

Someone needs to make alarms bell ring when they log on to teh Internets so that they git directed right here.  Genius I say.  Nice work.

Can I help at all? Take it off your hands? (where r u? Postage might be an issue but let me know?)

Thanks Dogie,

Much kudos for sharing the knowledge and responding.  You're a good person (pats on the head 

Guess what?? I GOT IT WORKING! I cannot believe that I did this, it's like a high that seriously I'm waiting to end.

Geez these things are loud though, going to have to find a way to make it quieter.

What I had to do to get it working under ubuntu 12.04 without needing a tplink was use cgminer 4.0.0 - the latest cgminer (currently 4.2.3) when compiled with --enable-avalon2 comes up with an error on compiling which relates to the Avalon2 driver.  Apparently this is enough for it not to be able to use the ttyUSB port.  So, I compiled v.4.0.0 and lo, all of a sudden it started up.

Now to figure out how to get the noise down a notch 'cause this is in my room and wow! It moves some serious air.

No worries, so I'd plug the ethernet into my ethernet port on the laptop.  The laptop is connected to my hotspot.  I'd need to set up some how so that the tplink can 'talk' through my laptop to get traffic from the hotspot.  Cannot plug the tp directly into a router.  Am I stuffed?

by the way, the --enable-avalon2 you mentioned before, I think you mean enable that when compiling the miner.  Did that and I get an error on compiling. might be worth getting an earlier version and compiling that perhaps?

ok, with the TPlink, I can hook up a hub and run two modules I assume, shouldn't be a problem.

Problem is, I'm using a laptop anyway with other miners and have a wireless 4g hotspot serving ip addresses to devices that I connect.  I'll likely be plugging in the TPlink to my laptop anyway and assigning the tplink a manual ip adress.  Sounds like it's not going to work already.

How does everyone else get their TPlink to connect to another wireless network?

Yep, I do.  Happy to host a meeting.

Would be interested to hear if you have had any success with the single modular Avalon2s. I'm trying to get two running, one in Ubuntu, the other in Windows and am not have any luck at all.  Do you absolutely need to use wrt to mine with these things? Surely you can plug them in to Ubuntu and use them nativley by now.  I can see the single modulars in /dev/ttyUSB0 and 1, just can't get them recognised in CG or BFG miner...

 

Just taken ownership of 2 * Avalon2 singular modulars (105ghz ea).  Having read all the documentation and forum posts that I can, it looks like these devices *can not* be recognised natively on a laptop using unbuntu 12.04 and compiling cgminer or bfgminer with support to see them. 

Is that correct?

I've seen one post which mentions how to compile cgminer with the avalon2 driver, and I can see that my avalon2 is registering at /dev/ttyUSB1 but when I run cgminer with "sudo ./cgminer -S /dev/ttyUSB1 -o stratum+tcp://globe.suprnova.cc:3333 -u [my miner] -p [my password] --avalon2-voltage 10000 --avalon2-freq 1500 --avalon2-fan 100" then I get a detection that an avalon 2 device is present, but no communication with it.

Just want to confirm that you can or cannot connect avalon2 single modulars directly to a laptop via USB and run a miner that way, or do I need to fork out more $ for something else in order to use these devices?

No offense intended Bob, but that reply seems disingenuous to me. 

Here's the exact response to my request:

"Matt (Minersource.net)
Mar 09 10:31

We can swap out your order of U1 for U2 for the price difference if you would like.

Matt
Minersource.net"

Telling me that "We never said you would receive U2 instead of U1, only that we would do our best." does not seem correct to me, those words have not been exchanged. 

On the face of it, the language used by Matt is plain.  I then responded thanking Matt and saying that yes, I would like that.  In plain terms - that's offer and acceptance.  Consideration has already been given, I have every right to make a reasonable assumption that Matt had both the authority and capability to make an offer on behalf on Minersource.net and it was accepted and I had every intention of entering into a contract for sale - it's reasonable to expect that Minersource.net did too.  It's a contract and is likely to be regarded as a promise under the legal definition of such by any court that will look at the evidence.

Offering a refund is putting me at a disadvantage because I will need to ship these back, at your expense, to your site and I have reasonable expectations that a refund will not be given as Minersource.net has both been unresponsive (until I started posting on forums) and there is evidence of refunds not being provided for other purchasers, there seems to me to be a body of evidence building that suggests trust and confidence in service and supply from minersource.net is falling below what would be expected by a reasonable person, acting reasonably, through the purchase of goods under international contract. 

In short, thank you for the offer but I doubt the validity and seriousness with which it was made and I do not want to put myself in a position of being at a total loss for this transaction.

First up, I'm disappointed at how long my order took to come to me.  Matt told me on March 12 that my order was shipping that night and it didn't go out until close to 10 days afterwards.  USPS records show that.

Second, they didn't ship U2 miners as we agreed, they shipped U1 miners.  We had agreed that U2 miners would be shipped, given the reduction in price for the U1 miners while I was waiting for the deposit to be confirmed.

What's most disappointing is that they responded to me while the money was pending but now that they have my money they are silent and did not ship what I asked for.

I won't be using their store again and I will be spreading the news that they are unreliable.  Not that it makes any difference to them at all as they don't seem to be responding to me.

If this were Paypal I would be asking for my money back.  It's stores like minersource.net that make dealing over the Internet a risky one.  Their store doesn't give people like me any confidence in doing business with Bitcoin.

Add to that, gawminers are great, they communicate well and sent me exactly what I had ordered.

Very disappointing minersource.net.  Angry

I don't recommend minersource.net. 

First up, I'm disappointed that it has close to A MONTH for my order to come to me.  Matt @ minersource told me on March 12 that my order was shipping that night and it didn't go out until close to 10 days afterwards.  USPS records show that.

If this were Paypal I would be asking for my money back.  It's stores like this that make dealing over the Internet a risky one, and probably why Bitcoin isn't going to succeed as a currency.  Their store doesn't give people like me any confidence in doing business with Bitcoin.

Very disappointing. 

Good man, this fixed it perfectly.  Thanks.

I'm still showing v0.8.3.0-g0673e64-beta after downloading the v0.4 wallet.   Should that be happening? Along with that, still not getting synchronisation with the network:
