So diffficulty wise we are not looking bad. I am happy with a low difficulty change. I still am surprised S7 sales did not have a bigger impact, but maybe next period. But I'm happy difficulty wise.
Value wise not huge but we did start in mid 420's and are now around 416. So lost some value but not a ton. So hopefully we see a little rise, seems slow going on this.
Less then 2% is really nice IMO. Two more weeks with just a small diff increase. 2 months of "stability" wasn't expected on my side. Now that the S7 price went quite down, we might see some uptrend tho ... This is interesting ... Bitmain seems to want to give a huge pressure on Bitfury pricing, if and when they come out with some products or just ship some chips at all. This silence radio is disturbing me. I was quite sure we would see a massive flood of the new gen just around the start of April. I'm not going to complain, I like the current Diff movement. If we could keep the same pace until the halving that would be epic. i'm just dreaming while i'm awake I guess I only wish we keep same pace, I agree 2 and under til having.... would be beautiful for miners. I think this S7 batch will do something. Either they are selling ton of racks for next gen, or selling a good amount of a new batch. Either way I see difficulty going up from bitmain. And big thing is next gen it scares me. I think if someone hit's specs we will see difficulty skyrocket as they pump out next gen chips. I don't think we can avoid the next gen difficulty wave that is coming (i think at least someday). The new Batch 16 of the S7 has one fan ... Not sure it's going to be a gold mine for them. I wanted to replace an S4 for a new S7 (used in fact) I will wait I think. |

Philip great review.
Honest question though, why are still promoting group buys of the Avalon 6 with the known issues. You have the connections and people to be able to get the necessary items to counter the issue but others don't unless it is being offered to others? The Avalon 6 is quiet but hashes under the S7 by 1ths and the S7 for the most part has been stable, even though loud, but doesn't have a known fire hazard. I am just thinking that unless additional connectors are added to the design, Avalon should be holding sales unless a solution is found or the issue is stated on the description. Just thinking out loud....
Phill is just saying that he had an issue with a breaking board AND the fact that the AV6 has only 2 PCI-E connectors per board. Each connector suck around 275w. 3 connectors would lower the power per connector and do not stress the PCI-E connector and cable as much as the current version of the hashing board. I looked into my 4K IBM breaking board for sign of overheating an I saw none but it is also getting hotter where I am, we shall see. That said, my overall confidence in the AV6 is way higher then the S7 ... Especially with the new 1 Fan version Batch 16. I wanted to change my old S4 with a new S7 but I guess I will wait or buy an older used version. |

I got one Antminer S4 to sell. The unit is in Montreal and shipping is an option but those are heavy. Shipping to Canada or US only (for now).
Just make me an offer if anyone is interested.
Escrow accepted at your expense

I sent a PM to Jabber about the 2880w breaking board problem you had Phil.
He didn't log since March 11, so I haven't receive an answer.
This is strange ... Jabber is usually active around here.

Thanks Phil !

Nope. I think CK's a bit out of my budget, and I don't have any hardware yet for Luke to work on. Once I have enough of the new controls set specified and some base code down (including workable firmware) maybe I can get him something.
Right now I'm hoping to have the Avalon test board prototype PCBs ordered by Friday. I should have the layout finished today, and tomorrow I'll do some verifying. I might also have a stickminer PCB prototype to add to the order; we'll see.
This is some EPIC news |

+4.2 = VirosaGITS I will tell you why not the pick is tooo high!! If its too high, i will be plenty happy. If i win i'd keep the prize, but i'm totally okay with taking a pick that has very little chance of winning. As long as its not higher than that, i'm going to be pretty Okay with the result. well what do i know not much really. But i do hope your pick is too high. It's 4-20, nothing can be wrong about his choice ! I'm still undecided on my guess, I will wait a bit |

Not sure what you mean by a double DPS2000 board from sidehack -
Sorry for the confusion it's the one from Jabber https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1308296.0EDIt: I edited my post and I took a look of each connector, no burning on my side with that breaking board. |

Suckssss, I have two hosting A6 using that breaking board....
Gotta need to find a better solution I guess. I'm running 3 on a double 2000DPS breaking board from Sidehack.
Do you think i'm gonna have the same issue with that breaking board ?
EDIT: Did Jabber gave you some feedback on this ?
EDIT2: I just checking most of my connectors on the double 2000DPS. They are all good. I did space all the connectors to make none of them is next to another one tho. To make sure I spread the heat.
