Is it louder than a 1st gen Avalon ?
In quiet, for now its about the same. The actual miner's fans are the same noise level as a few Antminers, but the PSU is crazily loud. Its way overcooling so they're going to figure out how to control it hopefully. Once the PSU gets sorted then it will be quieter than a gen 1 Avalon, louder than my cooling modded gen 1 Avalon but potentially the same noise level as an Antminer. |

 Just getting some sun in  But in all seriousness, turbo and 'normal' modes are way too loud edit: for now in a residential setting. The names are a bit misleading though and 'normal' is actually to run at a high ambient of 31C. Running 'normal' at normal room temp will get the same hash rates as turbo was designed to do. Working now at getting quiet mode even quieter (its the PSU which is very loud at the moment), but its promising. Also designing the real cooling mods which are looking promising at the moment - just want to get this PSU out of the way first. |

Curious, does anyone know what amperage the terminal connector block on each S1 blade is rated for?
The screw terminal? Newer units don't have them. |

He is on paper but he's not responded to the teams emails in months and months. As I said, the only people left (and running this company now) are the engineers, with little money. Yifu ran off to to work with the government about anonymity and took the millions with him.
He is the founder but he isn't the only owner.
Do you have some insider information? You are the OP and seemed to have some vested interested in this? I am not so sure Yifu not responding to emails is really proof that he is no longer associated with Avalon. It wasn't that long ago when he seemed to disappear from the face of this earth and not responding to any IM, email, forum posts for months while everybody is waiting for the B3 chips/miners. He was associated with Avalon at that time, No? So what's so different now when you don't see or hear from him? If anything else, it is typical Yifu behavior. It doesn't prove that he is not associated with Avalon and making money off new Avalon chips that I hope nobody is buying when there are so many more options available now. When I set out the conditions for promotion or demotion for companies in my manufacturer trustworthiness thread (see sig), I tell them. I tell them exactly what the community (as an average) feels about them, on going problems, what is required for the problem to be solved. In the case of Avalon it was the trade ins (never sorted) and the bad performance on B3. They can't solve B3 now, it happened. The other part of it was that Yifu was the figurehead/scapegoat/ringleader, whatever you want to refer to him as. But he's not there any more, he took large amounts of money (or the control of money) yet the engineers left behind are getting HIS flak. IIRC Yifu went AFK between B2 and B3 because he was just about starting this government work and he never checked the forums. Have a look at his profile on here, he's not been around for months and months and months. Lets all take a freaking moment and think about why he should even fix any of your problems. You guys go on and on, whining about how he "fucked you over" on purpose, and never said anything grateful because you're all greedy bastards who can only think of yourselves and not what people have done for the community. If he really wanted to screw his customers over he would just take all the money and never refund anything. He has REFUNDED TONS of people, in BTC while the BTC increased in value! I think he did what he can to do good for his customers and the community. 1 Year ago you would all be sucking his C**K for a miner, and now all you can do is talk crap. Show some gratitude and maybe something awesome will happen. Ya B*tches. He knew they fucked people over. His last post promised compensation for trade in and chip buyers and they still haven't done anything. Why would chip buyers receive anything? They were offered FULL refunds regardless if their order was late or not, its not Avalon's fault if people gambled and got it wrong. |

I'm getting really close now. I have CGminer installed and set up, the PSU and Avalon both power on for a brief moment when I plug in the TPLINK 703 router. However CGminer does not find the Avalon. Can't find any USB devices. What am I missing?
When I connect to the TL-wr703n, I do not have the user name and password to access the router controls to check the firmware or the other settings. I try the supposed default which is "root" for username and a variety of "password" or "admin" for password. No luck. Little help here.
CGminer says I'm connected to us1.eclipsemc.com with stratum. Just doesn't find my Avalon.
What do you mean cgminer, this is nothing to do with cgminer :/ |

Can't really base this on much, as apple to apple comparison shows that no doubt BITMAIN's S2 looks to be a great box, but I can't help the feeling that re-using the 55nm chip is a bit "old tech re-factored". While one S2 will generally be more effective than equivalent GH/s of S1 AntMiners, the S2 just feels a bit pricey at the current prices due to the chosen approach and position in the newly changed market (Spondoolies "ultra cool" form factor and Chinese A1 copycat manufacturers supposedly selling 1TH/s at $3000 now).
When comparing physical density 1.25U (Spondoolies) vs. 4U (BITMAIN) the newcomer takes a clear lead, but it will be interesting to see BITMAIN's 28nm setup as it becomes available.
I'd be surprised if BITMAIN wouldn't drop the S2 price to position themselves more favourably. Mature tech isn't neccesarily bad. For instance they've managed to provide a lot more chips for the same money and so are able to run them at low voltages to achieve similar W/GH as the next gen, but with the benefit of lower costs, ramped up production capacity and consistency. |

I like the one on your site a bit better.
It definitely has a marked improvement in readability which really may help new users. Good job. Thanks, I'll keep going. |

If you split across enough pools you can't ever have bad luck.
Well not exactly but you can reduce variance. But you also miss out on individual pool good luck streaks. but you can also miss out an individual pool bad luck streaks. The network isn't exactly a zero sum game. Every pool could have a bad luck streak at the same time, so you can't get away from it. True. I should have said you minimize your bad luck (and good luck as someone else pointed out) No you're not at all, you're still exposed to the same good or bad luck of mining. What you ARE reducing the exposure of is the 'bad performance' of the pool itself, ie mismanagement or issues or orphaned blocks. |

By the off chance have you set both connections as static IPs, and the same IP?
The LAN IP addresses are set up manually and are static, distinct and addressed in a range below where my router hands out dynamic IP addresses. Main router being an ASUS N16 running DD-WRT v24-sp2 (06/08/12) mega firmware which should be irrelevant AFAIK. For example miners are set 192.168.1.99 then 192.168.1.98 and so on down. The DHCP server handles the wifi addresses which come in at 192.168.1.100 and up. DD-WRT is pretty good with allowing the use of static IP addresses in conjunction with the DHCP server as long as the addresses are outside of the range the DHCP server is instructed to use which is the case. I can see the dynamic wifi IP addresses it issued through my router GUI and everything appears fine in that regard. Bitmain uses Paragon Technologies for their network adapters all having a MAC Address of 20:59:A0:B2:xx:xx (xx being variable to address the specific device) so they are easily identifiable on the network. Make it simple, if you're having such problems trying to run two IPs, set them both static and try again. You can't have so many variables and expect to get meaningful data. |

I'm having issues with wifi. I can get wifi to work if I have an Ethernet connection to start and then disconnect but occasionally wifi drops afterwards and they stop mining until I reestablish the Ethernet connection. For some inexplicable reason they will not initiate from wifi. I must establish a connection with Ethernet first and then disconnect the umbilical cord at which point they run on wifi until there's a problem with wifi.
I also have to configure units through the Ethernet connection as the GUI is unresponsive through wifi.
Is there a way to fix this?

Why don't you guys just rent another room in a larger flat, or an small flat? I've got 6KW of passive cooling in my flat - which I live in - for no additional rent?

FWIW..... if your going to use BFG miner's proxy your going to need the 32 bit....I tried the 64 and it won't work...the 32 works like a charm....plus initially I had to shutdown the Antivirus on my mining computer (AVG)....to get the proxy to work initially...once it was running I re enabled my Antivirus, and haven't encountered any problems since....
I'll have BFG instructions up in about two weeks, going through each guide and converting it to a new style as it goes up on the site (dogiecoin.com). |

I have a question.
The inquiry is about to BITMAIN.
I sent an e-mail inquiry to BITMAIN to 3 days ago.
I was sent two days before the inquiry by PM.
But, the reply does not come.
Reply so slowly it normal?
Please tell me.
Perhaps they are busy. Bitmain never reply in fast mode  Perhaps you just need to wait some more  Regards! What we don't realise is the sheer scale of Bitmain's operation. 20% of the network is their hardware, which is 660,000GH. Thats 37,000 S1s in 4 months. That's 315 a day. When you have problems with the payment system, that's 500 fresh emails PER DAY on top of the usual load. tldr, give them time, they're not scammers and they're not going anywhere. |

If order today when I will receive the miner?
Shipping in 7 days as the topic says No, it was said its no longer available for March, only April now. When should those test units be online and reviewed? Mine hopefully on Saturday midnight GMT |

$5,360.00 .. including shipping for $365.00...DHL...7-10 days...I guess...  Edit: Shipping to Florida, USA... Ouch. I can buy 8.7 BTC right now (Wednesday, March 19, 2014 at 4:24:16 PM UTC) for $5360 from Coinbase. Do you think this miner will generate more than 8.7? I don't. Me either...I am not buying ...not NOW...blind trust can be very expensive... Compared with a 1TH (possibly clocking a bit higher?) Antminer at 5.7BTC, this product actually fits into a certain niche for investors who use server racks and are willing to pay a 10-20% premum to run the same hashrate in 2 rack units as bitmain would require 12 rack units for Exactly. The density is insane, and I don't think "1.25U" does it justice. Its 5.5cm thick and 1100W, my MOUSE is thicker than that. |

UPDATEFirst sample unit was shipped to Dogie! (I will ask him to confirm it here) http://take.ms/GSbZV Confirmed, addresses match up. Once its made its first air leg I'll call in for an ETA. |

Don't bother with cabled antennas, a +8dba, 9" one will go through floors and rooms and entire houses.
