How do I add a pic to my account? When I go into the profile page and select the btc picture then click on change the site reverts it back to no picture. So using the Windows 7 snipping tool I create saved the btc picture to my computer and selected I want to upload a picture, again when I click on the change button it reverted back to no picture.

This is very frustrating!

Asking $750 or OBO (before shipping)

I will of course accept bitcoin but will calculated it at the time of the sale.

I am not sure if these the correct forum to write this in?

I have noticed there is a huge gap that I call the bitcoin divide between the people who want to get into Bitcoin mining and the people who have been bitcoin mining for a long time that it makes it very difficult for people to jump in and get their feet wet, as well I finding there isn't a lot of good information out there to help new investors so they, like me, make silly and stupid mistakes along the way.

One of which is I sunk $15k of my own money into buying gear from local people where if I had known more about the possibilities and process to buying bitcoins at exchanges first I would have been far better off now. Right now I still see people selling Avalon ASIC B2/B3 four module miners on eBay and locally here (where I live) for 5 to $10k. Yet we all know buying them new cost 3.5B ($3500 or less) and that's shipped to your. Back when I got involved bitcoins were worth $143 and a anvy miner would costs me between $1800 and $2100 each. I believe that the resell market is driving away the potential and stability of bitcoin, people have to understand hardware is hardware it doesn't keep it's value it loses it over time.

Stop whining! Bitcoin will behave like this until all 21 million coins are available, it's still going to be alternative currency for a very long time that goes up and own in price.

I am curious is there anyway to flash these suckers on a Windows box? I am not a *nix or iMac person.

Thanks,

Does anyone know if these miners will work on a Vantec 10 port USB 2.0 hub or will have I scale them back to 6 per hub like I had to do with the 335MH/s miners?

What do I need to power say 24 USB keys, the 2.2GH/s Blue Fury, how big does the PSU need to be in Amps?

Thanks

Thanks for that update but I was talking about PeerCoin or PPCoin not NameCoin.

Have you looked the exchange like btc-e to see if on converting them to BTC that you'd get double the bitcoins compared to just mining bitcoins only?

Sorry, I still don't fully understand how to use the exchanges, I am not a stock type/exchange type of guy. LOL

Do you guys mine PPcoin as well with your Avalons?

I have found some local twit who says that he mines PPcoin with his Avalons then trades them for Bitcoin getting double the amount of bitcoins then if he just mined bitcoins. He's a twit because he's selling his batch 3 Avalons for 12,000$ CAD each and sites because he they can mine PPcoin they are worth that much!

I did explain just now that avalon-asic.com does have batch 3 four module Avalons in stock for 3.5BTC's which is about $3500 CAD (new and shipped) and that regardless what he uses them for to mine the price on the actual hardware doesn't change.

What do you expect when buying from a person with the name of Y-i-FU!

I see that YiFU has put the B3 4 module Avalon instock. But I am not going to buy one until the price comes down. Back when the where selling for 12 BTC the conversation to CAD was $1800, now that the conversation is about $1100 per BTC now, 3.5BTC for a 4 module Avalon new is too much money.

Cool thanks!

Does anyone know if the Avalon PSU's auto switch to 240v, I don't see any switches on the back of them like the old PC PSU's had.

My B1 and B2 are the same size.

Does anyone know the dimensions of a Avalon in foot and inches?

I am looking at putting mine into a colo and don't know what the measurements are off hand.

I am waiting until BTC hit's $100,000 CAD before I think about spending even 1 of my BTC's.

This is a great idea but since you are doing it digitally may I and others see your charity or non-profit registration number? Every non-profit and or charity is given one of these by their local government to help others verify their legitimacy.

What happens is something happens to the Wifi and you can't get back in?

I set my LAN to be a different network than my Wifi, this way I can plug into the LAN with my Lappy if something goes wrong, but I haven't had to so far.

Did you read what I wrote?

If you are referring to paying $1000 for the 2 Avalon modules, I actually gave YiFU about 7BTC but back then the price was much lower per BTC. Now that it's higher and so it the difficulty buying a 5GH/s BFI  for 1BTC or an Avalon for 3.5BTC is simply not worth it when I do the conversion back to dollars.
