I can answer three of your questions with some certainty:

#1 The Avalon hash rate is a 5 second average snapshot.  The summary hash rate is the average hash rate over the uptime of the box.  The summary hash rate will give you a better sense to how your Avalon is performing in terms of GH/s.

#4 NMW stands for "No Matching Work".  It appears that this is a count of the number of hardware errors.

#5 A hardware engineer told me recently that the Miner and Asic count is the description of the layout of chips in your box.  So 24x10 is 240 chips.  If you added another module or took out a module, those numbers would be modified.

Hi All,

Thank you for your interest.  Two of the Avalons have been sold.  The third Avalon is expected to be sold this Friday via wire transfer.

Thanks,

Hi there,

Sure give me a buzz.  I'm up now. 10:23PM PST.

Take care,

Will do.  Let's see what the market will bear.  Then I look for the simplest and most amicable transaction.

Hi Last2Stand,

Understood.  Folks have different methods and interests when calculating ROI.  Some mine btc and sell right away, others seem to mine and ride the market a bit then sell btc at a higher exchange rate, and others just mine to keep btc.

Regardless, I appreciate the offer and I would like to unlock the capital I have in these machines in the next few days, but 280btc is lower than what I would be comfortable with at this time.

Best regards,
Repiv

Hi All,

I'm selling my 3 Avalon asic miners that are in hand.  Two are Batch#1 and one is Batch#2.  I installed ckolivas’ firmware on all three Avalons about 3 weeks ago.  I have not OC'd over 335MHZ.  The Avalons have been mining quite well and stable at 335MHZ.  The GH range is between 77-91 looking at the 5sec avg on each Avalon individually. The average I have seen on slushs pool is around 240GH/s.

My asking price is 360BTC net for all 3 Avalons.  However I will insist on a in person transaction and local pickup.  I live in Glendale, CA 91206.

I have posted this on Ebay as well under vpetrossian.

Thanks,
Repiv

I would imagine some would.  The early pioneers of bitcoin mining may soon be irrelevant in the btc mining industry.  As btc mining starts going into a direction of industrialization, the folks who enjoyed mining will look towards other digital currencies.  However, the folks who are more interested in being part of a mainstream digital currency will put their efforts in pushing btc even further mainstream through a variety of means.  As for what is that next coin?  That is difficult to determine.  It would be a combination of the miners involved, community support, etc...

Mass psychology.  That is the biggest factor playing out on the rise and fall of BTC.

I've considered the "well above 1000 TH/s", but at some point there are lead times in play that even though well over 1000 TH/s have been sold, it takes quite a bit of time for them to come online.  Interesting to note is that in one of my models I have a 50,000 TH/s by end of next year that is based on multiple chip vendors using the 22nm chip fab process.  In many of my models the beyond 100k TH/s we start approaching saturation of the network and diminishing returns on profitability.  Basically it would cost more to harvest a bitcoin when we start hitting the 100k TH/s plus than a return for the co-op miners.

I've seen my share of predictions on network hash.  However, many of the predictions I have seen are based on gut feeling, guesses, and past performance.  Which in a sense are all valid since we probably have a better shot in predicting the weather than the hash-rate for a digital currency.

One of the better predictions I have seen are based on a combination of mainstream news stories, company announcements, and chip fabrication/delivery.  This has brought me to the prediction of a 750 TH/s by the end of the year.

One of the more concrete estimates based on facts was the identification of the blocks and the wallet address of some of these companies who are selling chips.  Then using the BTC transfer amount, the cost per chip, and date of the order combined with the lead time and estimate fabrication time to come up with some network hash numbers that are actually based on something.

So with whatever means you have come up with your network hash prediction, I like to hear what some of you think about its future.

I like to expand on the question a bit further to how many bitcoins do you plan to keep?  Lots of miners are just dumping the BTC for their favorite fiat currency.
