Just to confirm with everyone about the power cable and antenna missing; this is the response I got back from Avalon Support:
---
Oct 23 8:38pm
Avalon Support replied
minis do not ship with antennas due to more issues with customs, power cables are not included.
---
I say no worries as you can get a decent Wifi 8dBi antenna if you shop around for very little. $8 CAD.

Hi guys,
I'm just curious how many bitcoins in total you are currently holding and when did u buy it?
Please don't troll.. like "4832482384 bitcoins"
I'm Currently holding 43.3 Bitcoins bought them when they were 125$
Considering buying again for big amount for investment
Starting to hold on to everyone I generate as the price of BTC is starting to go through the roof!  |

Just got an Avalon Mini.
2 cards running at 375Mhz.
Its supposed to do 60GH but I am only getting 49 to 50GH.
The other ones I have do 60.
Any suggestions on how to fix it?
check cgminerapi log [match_work_count1] => 1312 [match_work_count2] => 1238 [match_work_count3] => 1330 [match_work_count4] => 1325 [match_work_count5] => 1286 [match_work_count6] => 1301 [match_work_count7] => 1263 [match_work_count8] => 1310 [match_work_count9] => 1270 [match_work_count10] => 1229 [match_work_count11] => 1314 [match_work_count12] => 1269 [match_work_count13] => 1255 [match_work_count14] => 1282 [match_work_count15] => 1294 [match_work_count16] => 1284 [match_work_count17] => 0 [match_work_count18] => 0 [match_work_count19] => 0 [match_work_count20] => 0 [match_work_count21] => 0 [match_work_count22] => 0 [match_work_count23] => 0 [match_work_count24] => 0 some chips wont work and stay at 0 same problem for 2 mini avalon and i have 2 other box not open I see the same in mine 17 to 24 are 0 which leads me to believe they don't work. Someone told me that these mini's only have 16 chips in them, which would make sense. 2 modules = 16, 3 modules = 24, and 4 modules = 32. So I am still not sure if I should reduce the 24 miner count to 16. My mini gets 59008.84 MH/s which isn't the full 60GH/s but I am not complaining! Inside /etc/config/cgminer you have an option named "miner_count" which I think is at 24 right now, try to change it to 16, it should fix your issue. Mind you, I have not tested this change and I don't have a mini. spiccioli I suspect this might be a firmware issue, I know the guy said who I bought the mini from that he's updated the firmware on it. I suspect with the mini's you need to select the option to not backup/restore the settings when you update the firmware. I will need to take some screen shots tonight and perform this process. Also looking at the pictures of the Avalon Mini it looks like YiFU uses the B1 Avalon boards, the grey square components in the pictures are what is on the B1 boards, the B2's use a different (black) component. I know this because I recently bought an extra module for my B1 and B2 Avalon and after comparing them to the other modules I noticed that this was the physical difference. Btw does anyone know what YiFU means? I was thinking the other and came up with Y i FU  |

I would recommend you try a different CAT5e or CAT6 cable and see if the cable(s) you have tired with it are causing the problem or not. If I change the number from 24 to 16 my MH/s drop to 35k. I haven't tired increasing it to see if that makes it worse or better but maybe I will. |

This is with the cgminer output I see on the Jupiter.
Unfortunately I can only do getwork now. Stratum will require me to cover electrical bills. Anyway it has been better for the past few hours. Thanks Doc.
Oh, and please don't decomm getwork for the future.
If you are worried about your power bills then don't mine or rent yourself a small apartment where hydro is included in the monthly rent and plug your mining gear in there. |

you can split it in 2 units , oc to 370 -375 with no hw modification is possible
I`ve splinted 2x3 modules units in 3x2 modules at about 60gh unit with speed from 365 up to 375 , found out that if you do not connect them to port 1 has better speed and lower hw
I may have an answer to hw% by the end of the week. |

Using a 1200w PSU I am successfully running at 350mhs
What is the max that someone has seen running at 1200w? 375mhs? Had the PSU already so it just made sense.
This is a 4 module system purchased recently.
Your only getting 350MH/s or are running at 350Mhz? I get 107GH/s at 335Mhz using 860w PSUs. I just don't see any reason to install a 1200w to go higher unless your not paying for power! Sorry you are correct, using 350mhz. I am gettting ~110ghs...I am using the 1200w because I already had it and ya I don't pay for power it is a set fee in my rent. I'd love to see this thing hit 115-120gh/s Also, just to note, I've noticed overclocking to 375mhz actually seems to reduce my overall hash rate. I've read this is a possibility but I was wondering why. I really love this piece of hardware, its very interesting, educational and fun to mess with. Also, I should get a good amount of my money back overtime since I paid with USD for it. Someone here told me it really wasn't worth the effort or cost to OC the Avalon 4 module past 107GH/s as you get so little reward for doing it. So I have never brothered. But if you really want 120GH/s buy two Avalon Mini's! |

The namecoin daemon stopped propagating our namecoin blocks, that's why we have a string of "stale" blocks. Should be OK again now (for future blocks).
Apologies for this. Namecoin was abandoned by its developers in a state where it was full of bugs and nearly unusable. You don't notice it but it is actually crashing frequently and being automatically restarted on the server.
I'll have a look at whether the new "namecoinq" is more stable.
That's too bad!  |

Got two of them and have to say they are fucking loud.
People please is there any option to reduce the fan noise ?
This really drives me horrible crazy.
--avalon-fan 20 for example does not work. the fan is at min around 2560RPM and still loud as shit. Temps are inside 46 - 49 °C Radius.
regards
You must have fans from the B1 avy's! My mini's fan is the same that is in the my B2 avy which is more quiet. |

So far ... running 2 days now at 60GH with no problems. Went straight for the Ethernet configuration instead of the wireless.
Someone who lives locally to me sold me one of his auctioned units; I know he's on this site and is likely reading this, so far so good with the 60GH/s unit he sold me but I noticed in the cgminer log that it only uses 16 of the 24 work counters, I wonder if because he's said he's updated the firmware on this thing (I think) if it's reset the minercount to 24 from 16? Anyone has thoughts on this? I am mining using the wireless, no real issues. Looking forward though to getting a second one, hopefully. |

avalon wifi works well ?. or is it better to use network with RJ45
to reduce the temperature I have to use wifi for 4 avalons
wifi works fine, on some units. It all depends on the flakey TP-LINK TL-WR703N you got I have units that work fine with wifi, I have others that would not If you need to spread out the units to reduce temperature, just buy or make a few long ethernet cables, much more reliable than wifi If you have signal problems in your house the cheapest way to fix that is to buy open-mesh.com devices. They work great!! The other option if you are a good lier is to see if Cisco is still giving away their Meraki wifi access point and sign up for that, you will have to lie to get it. Either way these are two very good solutions and they are 100 times better than your mickey mouse home wireless routers and access points that you buy at the local electronics store. With a mickey mouse access point in my den I can barely get any bandwidth to my living room, with my meraki in my den I get amazing bandwidth on all my devices in my living room and other places of my house too. At work we have several clients who don't have more than 20 people at any one given time using the WiFi so we have set them up on the open-mesh system which works really well, some levels are below ground in older builds, no issues that we have tested with the open-mesh. I would need a amplifier with external antenna I guess. I am in the country on a large farm. I do not know if it is possible for an amplifier wifi network exist Well if you have buildings instead of trying to cover the entire area you should be covering the inside and out of each building, you can do this by light of sight and then Wifi devices inside to cover the insides. |

I see why people use fee based pools vs non-fee based.
I colleague of mine suggested I switch to a non-fee based pool and give it a try. So I did, I pointed all my miners at this one site, the fee base site before paid out on average 0.4x BTC's to me on average (fees included), sometimes it was little bit more one day and a little bit less the next but it averages out to what 226GH/s would get on the current difficulty.
So far with the non-fee based pool I have lots a lot of bitcoins. I haven't come close to the 0.4x BTC's I am used to getting with the fee based system. Sadly with switching back to the fee based system I have to let things ramp up a bit before I start seeing my normal take.
I am not trying to start a war, but I am sharing my opinion so that if other people who are wondering which pool they should go with can read this and decide for themselves.
Thanks,
|
