Glad you got to play around with it.  How are the heat and noise levels?

As it is the same cooling solution is, more or less the same. Sch
Have the feeling that the fan is more constant. No up/down spinning, thereby it appears slightly quieter
But the ambient temperature is also quite low...



I assume thats 2 A7's in the cgminer webgui pic? Its showing 12TH/s avg...
Yes, it shows two devices A711-S-0-1 and A711-S-0-2.

right


Uh oh...I dont see a section in the GUI for error codes anymore. Those were so helpful with the A6

wow, I have not noticed that, thanks for the hint.
I will ask them to bring it back/for the reasons

I have 12 Avalon 6 hashing now. They are all controlled by one Rpi, will this controller still work on the Avalon 7s? Or do I have to buy their controller as well?

You only need to update the Software  Smiley
If you upgrade the software does it still run the A6?
Or, I should ask, can you run the A6 and A7 from the same Pi?


Good question, I guess yes
I'll check at the weekend

Luckily I have been able to play with the new A721 for a few days.
I do not have much time right now. Therefore only a quick overview.
Let me know what you want to know.

It comes in a nice  card box.
unboxing video: https://youtu.be/aFzLT7yx1aM

Packing content:
- Thank you card / quick start guide
- Avalon 721
- USB Converter 3 (AUC3)
- AUC3 I2C 5PIN cable

first impressions:
- Very good build quality, as we are used from the A6.
- works stable with 6 Th/s
- same webinterface as the A6

I measured the power consumption with slightly <1000W.
But this will may change with the next/final firmware. They working hard on it Smiley
I have measured with an Enermax Platimax EPM1000EWT as PSU and an intermediate plug, not with a fluke.
So it is only a good approximation  ;-)


Yes, the efficiency is currently not as good as that of Bitmain.
But since the 16nm hardware lifetime will be longer, I rate the build quality and customer service as more important.
And hope for a firmware update.



useful links:
https://github.com/Canaan-Creative/avalon7-docs/wiki
https://canaan.io/downloads/software/avalon7/

You will be able to buy them from within the EU soon.
check asicminer-shop.de for that... (down for maintance at the moment)


Anyone who gets an A7, I would suggest a change on the advanced web configuration page:
More Options: --avalon7-nonce-mask 26
It should speed up the hash rate ramp up.

some quick pictures:

I have a business relation with canaan, but neither got the A7 or anything else for the review.

That's a lot of A6...Asking price for a single miner shipped to the states?

shipping oversea takes time or is expensive,
not sure if it make sense, pm me you address and I can get a price quote from DHL Express.

But I don't want to sell them all individually
846  Local / Biete / ~300x Avalon A6 on: November 14, 2016, 01:08:50 PM
Habe ca 300 Avalon A6 die ich gerne verkaufen würde.
Preis ist verhandelbar, am liebsten würde ich natürlich alle zusammen verkaufen.

Hi,

I have ~300 Avalon A6 for sale.
Shipped from Germany
Price is negotiable depending on quantity

EDIT: all sold
848  Local / Deutsch (German) / Re: qu on: November 12, 2016, 12:33:41 PM
Wenn die Gewinne versteuert werden, gibt es doch keinen Grund anonym zu handeln.

ob 15% fair sind sei auch mal dahingestellt
849  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon A7 announced on: November 09, 2016, 10:56:57 AM
nope, pretty much the same as the A6
850  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Avalon 7 on: November 09, 2016, 08:20:39 AM
I know that  Wink

88 chips wouldn't be double anything... 721 has 72x A3212 asics

There are much more complaints about the S9 than previous devices, although they were sold significantly more often. S9 quality seems not very good. But that is OT here
852  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Avalon 7 on: November 09, 2016, 03:20:45 AM
there is no 100 MOQ


... do you still work with Yang of block_c in San Francisco ?

Or must we order direct from China?

Lastly  if I buy 2 or 3 or 4 and something breaks will I need to do warranty with China?

I am in NJ  and shipping to China is costly.

I had bad luck with the S9 and would like to load up with your gear.  I just do not want to have same issues of breakdowns and have to send gear to China for warranty service.

I don't know about blockC
But A7 is much more reliable than the S9

Because Altcoins are like straw fire.
854  Local / Mining (Deutsch) / Re: Neue Mining Hardware? on: November 08, 2016, 01:26:47 PM
bitmain macht doch schon seit geraumer Zeit keine Angaben mehr ;-)
Und die S9 B1 haben nicht gehalten, was versprochen wurde.
Abgesehen davon sind die S9 absolut unzuverlässig.
Lieber minimal schlechtere Effizienz, ~0.13 vs 0.15 und dafür haltbar

Was soll denn heißen, Bitmain macht keine Angaben mehr?
Und die Effizienz ist deutlicher schlechter (und das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis nebenbei erwähnt auch).

Und die S9 sind sehr zuverlässig.

Auf den Artikelseiten im neuen Shop gibt es keine Angaben mehr zur Leistungsaufnahme und Effizienz.

Klar sind die S9 effizienter, aber die 50% sehe ich nur auf dem Papier

Die S9 sind sicherlich nicht sehr zuverlässig, muss man sich nur im englischen Teil umsehen.
Bei den S5 und S7 gab es deutlich weniger Beschwerden.
Aber kannst gerne meine 4 S9 B1 kaufen, ich tausche gegen A7.

Vor allem jetzt mit 16nm, wenn die Geräte eine deutlich längere angenommene Nutzungsdauer haben
ist Langlebigkeit und Qualität wichtig, da dreht sich dann ganz schnell auch das P/L Verhältnis

...
2: The controller shuts off at 45c yet its inside a metal shell sitting on top of a giant heatsink radiating 75c heat. This means over about 30c-32c ambient the controller shuts down due to heat issues.
...


update the firmware, than it shut down only if the board temps gets to high, not on the "intake air".
So you can cool them with warm/hot air, but of course need more airflow.
