To narrow the question down to OpenWRT, which is the router software running on the Avalon, I believe, but have not verified, that the MAC can be spoofed. So, then, when you say " The MAC address in the TP-Link 703n router is a hard coded serial number that is already in place", that doesn't necessarily imply there might be some way to establish identity of a router instance unambiguously? You can forge (spoof) an identity. You can use the existing MAC as a serial number to identify a specific router. You can forge a driver's license. You can use a driver's license to establish identity. |

The MAC address in the TP-Link 703n router is a hard coded serial number that is already in place. It can be published very easily. I suspect you are someone who knows the real answer to this: is not any MAC spoof-able at the firewall level? Or is it that at the router, it would actually have to entail firmware hacks that would be virtually impossible? To narrow the question down to OpenWRT, which is the router software running on the Avalon, I believe, but have not verified, that the MAC can be spoofed. I think this is a standard feature of any commercial "router" today. In a larger scope, I run lots of software inside a virtual machine. Those MACs can be easily spoofed. One of my VMs has completely cloned the original hardware environment, including the MAC addresses on the original hardware box. The Cisco and Linksys routers can spoof the MAC address of a LAN side computer. |

I doodle with different ideas of how I might change the design.
Some options that came to mind are:
1. A GPS unit that sends it's location to a well known database.
2. IPv6 with a MAC based address that puts it's identity into a well known ntp servers logs.
3. A "power on" log across the AC power, similar to what lots of high end lab equiptment has.
Agreed, it wouldn't even be particularly difficult to have a "hard-coded" serial number and encode it as part of transactions, including successful mining (so that the complete history of a hardware node would become transparent) - but it isn't really in the interest of vendors obviously, just think about how pissed customers are going to be if they were to learn that their hardware had been running for a couple of weeks and was responsible for >= $1M USD profits at a time when difficulty was comparatively low. The MAC address in the TP-Link 703n router is a hard coded serial number that is already in place. It can be published very easily. I think a vendor that supplies this level of transparency will attract quality customers, so I think it is in their interest. |

Today I finally received my units from Feb. 2 order. One unit was almost clean, while other one is moderate dusty. After checking all connections and desoldering F1 fuse, I started to configure units. First unit has been tuned to ozco.in and that is not surprise, cos same config was on my unit from batch one. Second unit has more interesting config: http://puu.sh/3hrak.pngAs you can see, first pool is eligius.st and most important is address: https://blockchain.info/address/1AYdAw8CcrQ2wx55LTbFHRn5bxgNZhaRLW?offset=0&filter=0716.40851602 BTC was mined from April 22 by various units. And only gods know, how much was mined on ozco.in. So, regardles what said Yifu, the answer is: YES, Team Avalon is mining with customer units.PS: I'm don't have any problems with fact, that Avalon is mining with my units, if this is burn test and not introducing shipment delays. Does your tracking information tell when the unit left Avalon's control? May 24 That seems like 3 weeks that are unaccounted for, when many units are able to ship in a matter of days. I don't have it together enough to compete at making Avalon clones with the chips they are selling. However, I doodle with different ideas of how I might change the design.

Seems like no need to find a "plausible explanation". sometimes the simplest is the truth. I've said this in other threads, people really need to re-evaluate their idea of a normal business interaction when it comes to ANY vendor in the bitcoin world. This is a cutthroat business of fast money, which brings out the worst in people.
This, this and only this. Haven't seen so big concentration of utter human failures anywhere for some looong time like it's the case with bitcoin and overall cryptocommunity. I have a feeling people would eat kids for few bitcoins sometimes. And yet everyone swear about network, new better free world, bla-bla-bla, lol Vendor: This device will make all the money you can ever spend. Bitcoiner: I need two. |

What do you mean?
If you know what headers the email has, you can start forging copies to lure people into clicking onto malware or other type of scams. Surely an email from Avalon with tracking would get my attention... That is why many of us don't reveal the exact order number or # of machines we ordered You could do it even without it. I just didn't know what that phrase mean. I think he means phish. To try to get enough information about an account to impersonate the true account holder. |

Correct, I will reformulate that: if batch #3 arrives with difficulty higher than lets say 35m, they won't even break-even IMO.
Even at 35 million they'd break even in 46 days (4-unit with extremely conservative power costs as well). You are calculating break even in USD... but the Avalon B3 was purchased in BTC. Looks like it would take about 90 days at 35M to break even with no power costs... those BTC, assuming the average difficultly over those 90 days is 35M (I bet it averages higher difficulty). If there was no risk... it wouldn't be any fun eh? Yea, if someone paid 101 BTC for a rig + PSU + shipping, then it wouldn't break even until they got 101 BTC back. How long does it take to make 101 BTC at current projections? (85Gh/s) The expected generation output, at 85000.0 Mhps, given difficulty of 15605632.6813, is 2.73920671912 BTC per day and 0.114133613296 BTC per hour. |

1. His last name is not Gallagher, way to make even a bigger ass of yourself.
2. Our family hasn't been in Texas for about a year, so again. Ass.
3. Comment like this again and you will be ignored.
Ok, why not post a link to the obituary yourself, instead of making people hunt for it?  Because I don't give a fuck if a bunch of trolls waste a little time before getting back to trolling me again. Nobody is trolling you. If you want people to donate money to your cause you had better well be able to provide them with some semblance of legitimacy for that cause, if they ask you for it. We eventually set up a 501(c)3 after my daughter and I were shot. There was a long period of not very clear thinking after the shooting. Chill out and give him some space. |

I am astonished at the ability of the bit-coin community to read negative interpretations outside of the actual words that were written.
You must be new here. It's so mean to type like that when I'm drinking coffee. |

Wait, so ICU is releasing confidential client information to you?

Yeah, I got my verification tonight, finally, and they are playing stupid, I tried to withdraw my BTC before I was verified, even though it said I could, the blockchain shows it was deposted into my wallet and then spent, which is impossible because it has double protection 2nd PIN to send BTC . I do not know what to do? They have stopped communicating via email, and my wallet provider hasn't responded since this all began, I am new to all of this, I am so sick and depressed, this is all of the money in the world I have, and if I loose it, I am ruined. I need help, please!?!?

Quite honestly Yifu is turning out to be an arrogant prick.
If I don't get my Feb 2nd Batch 2 avalon in the next 30 days, or my 75 BTC back, I am going to assume this is a complete scam, and that Yifu is a thief. 3.6 Will you sell your order for 75 BTC? Ah, the opportunists, always there waiting to make a buck on someone else's misfortune. You are the enemy, not my friend. It's this attitude that makes our world such a shitty place sometimes. J/ Let me see if I follow your posts correctly. You suggest that 75 BTC within 30 days will satisfy you, I ask you to affirm that and open the door for you to be satisfied no matter what Yifu does, and you view me as an enemy and the cause of trouble. I thought a more reasoned response would tell at what price would you sell your order, and in what timeframe? |

Well, I would say that it is also reasonable to ask for shipping in the order of pay date.
Nah, it does not work like that if there is chaos and stress. It's the first thing on the desk that gets handled so I guess due to the Walletbit screwup some of the Batch #2, wave 1 orders will be handled with at the end as they need manual intervention to get sorted out. I have Batch #2.1 and Batch 2.2 orders, I'm interested to see which ones arrive first. Let's be glad that in these circumstances (low production volumes due to not-working-new-installation) there is stuff getting shipped out in the first place. Sometimes I wonder how things would evolve if the 5 loudest complainers were running the show. |

But no one is mining.
You have the capability to mine. May I ask why you are not? |
