I see a new Avalong Testing firmware has been released. Is it safe to put Avalons on p2pool yet?

you guys realize that all pre-orders back in july had no power specs when originally announced
"BitForce SC Jalapeno: a USB powered coffee warmer providing 3.5 GH/s, priced at under $149" That "USB powered" sure looks like a power spec to me. |

5.3 GH/s @ 36 watts + 20 watts for laptop = 10.6 watts/ghps
68 GH/s @ 620 watts = 9.1 watts/ghps
Efficiency: Avalon
5.3 GH/s @ $149 = $28/ghps
68 GH/s @ $1500 = $22/ghps
Price: Avalon
June 2012 -> May+++ 2013 = 11+++ months
Sep 2012 -> Apr 2013 = 7 months
Time to market: Avalon
Triple crown goes to: Avalon!

You can't compare the wattage on a BFL with an Avalon. An Avalon is a self-contained mining device. Add in the wattage for the laptop and the BFL is less efficient than an Avalon! ROFLMAO.
You are probably wrong in a couple of asumptions. For starters you can use something smaller than a laptop, eg. a Raspberry Pi. Secondly you only need the one to talk to the 5GHs, 25GHs, or 50Ghs products, at the high end power consumption the controlling computer becomes insignificant. That's not what the demo showed, now was it? They showed the power draw minus the computer, which is not a fair comparison to a complete Avalon. |

We have made an announcement on our site and you can expect one to be made on their site to match shortly. We would ask that you still direct all questions to kncminer and not to ORSoC directly.
Why not? Because ORSoC isn't really on the project, are they? ORSoC AB Telephone: +46 8 24 84 04 Anyone want to give them a ring? |

It's a great hoppable chain. With the wild difficulty swings, you can hop on and mine a few blocks when it is low, and then hop off and let the less wise miners mine at the greatly increased difficulty.

Luke-Jr you have showed your true colors on this matter, and I hope you were coerced or bribed or something to at least make sense of your actions. If you did this for free, at Josh's bidding, well that's just a horrible decision. Greed is a comprehensible, if not admirable motive. If Luke-Jr did this for free, he is some kind of retard who should be protected from himself. What an argument for a nanny state! He got paid alright. BFL is running a prototype at their warehouse and letting Luke-jr have all the bitcoins generated by it. http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/1CdcYVP4T4hjHwt353pEnGHrigeDLvuvZL |

It would sure be nice if Avalon would release the PCB sources. The Avalon is built around a 10-chip module. That would be a great starting place.  |

I'm watching a ton of orphans (100's) coming in on my Terracoin server. Is there a block explorer website that will show what's going on?

I'm surprised this didn't happen with more systems. There needs to be top supports if they're going to ship them fully assembled.

Nope there's hope for BFL -- didn't you hear, Avalon is selling batches of 10,000 chips.
Latest inside rumor is that BFL is just going to buy a batch of these chips and get soldering. That way, they'll at least be able to ship something before September.
They are ready for full production!  |

First, I do not know, for a fact, if CoinHunter even owns 1. I've talked with him a lot about this, and I can't say he does or doesn't. Second, I do want to say that if he does own any of them, he started the process, ergo, he was exempt from the "must have 1 million coins rule." This makes since, only because the network needed to have a few nodes distributed across the network for DDoS protection.
So, he may control them (but I'm still not sure if he does) but it does not mean he owns 3.2 Million coins.
Of course he owns them. He created all the private keys used by the trusted nodes. |

This is pretty disgusting in my opinion.
Luke-JR used his standing within the community to boost BFL's status when it needed it most.
Fortunately most of us are smart enough to tell the difference between a rushed engineering sample and a shipped customer product.
In this case it's clear to me that Luke-JR receiving the first public BFL and his subsequent posting to be a calculated decision in an attempt to garner positive marketing around their unreleased product.
I can understand if they wanted to send him one for him to some technical work on the software/firmware to help them with their hashrate for example, but he should not have posted it up knowing full well that it's a pre-release item.
But BFL didn't ship anything! Luke-jr posted a picture taken by Josh at BFL factory. The device never left the factory. |

No, it does not exist. They are simply selling pre-orders. |

If you had 2 grand to spend, would you buy one? Would it be worth it?
If it actually existed, it would be a great buy right now. But there is no such product actually available. |

Who wastes and asic like that and why...riddle me that?
Someone obviously didn't like TRC very much. Why they didn't like TRC, that could be any number of reasons. Just the opposite. Someone is accumulating a ton of TRC with a small investment in hashing power. |

The problem is the difficulty adjustment algorithm is exploitable, and that's what someone is doing.
