Can it support IPv6?
OpenWrt does.

Is there an OpenWRT image we can start up in a VirtualBox and shorten the learning curve?
I think so.

I loaded the VirtualBox image from link on the Wiki page.
Comes up 192.168.1.1, no IPv6 address.
Most likely it needs to be configured...

I edited /etc/config/network from the console (option proto static --> option proto dhcp) and got basic IPv4 connectivity.
For the actual Avalon, I will have to have a 192.168.1.x subnet configured.

I installed IPv6 support.
    opkg install kmod-ipv6
    opkg install ip

OpenWRT picked up a global IPv6 address from radvd.

My DNS server also has entries that resolve to
    localnet.vima.austin.tx.us  fe00::0
    allnodes.vima.austin.tx.us  ff02::1
    allhosts.vima.austin.tx.us   ff02::3
and these are sometimes useful for troubleshooting.

It was indeed a static IP
I did say I needed "instructions from the mothership", which was simply the static IP address for which the machine was configured.

Once obtained -- as my review states -- you are able to access the box and set a root password.  Standard OpenWRT behavior and configuration in that regard.
is open wrt anything like dd wrt?
DD-Wrt is based on OpenWrt.

If you can configure a linksys router with a static ip and know how to gpu mine you will have it setup and running in 5 minutes.
As long as you know the ip addy, subnet, default user/pass, and maybe have a cross over eth cable handy for your pc to connectto it you will be just fine.

ETA: I called FedEx and they relatively quickly (though through many transfers) approved my claim and forwarded it to USPS for them to approve, since they're the ones who do the actual refund. If they approve the refund on their end, they'll refund the $87.35 in postage. I paid extra for it to be delivered via GXG because I didn't have it delivered the day I said. Since you're the one damaged by delayed shipment, it's reasonable for you to be refunded the entire amount via BTC once I've cashed their check, which should arrive in 1-6 weeks (pending USPS approval of the refund).

Cheers,
Ben

Given that you are the one doing most of the work and I'm the one missing 10 days of mining I propose you split the refund: half for you, half for me.
No objection from me.  Grin

I am so glad to see a civil and productive conversation.

Order 1440, what a pain in the arse walletbit was...!

Why do you say that?
IMHO except for the "secure card" walletbit was pretty smooth.

I lost several hours to the "secure card" issue.  However, I eventually found out what it was, printed it out, and completed the order.
Now that I know what it is, I think that keeping the secure card, but with an obvious link on the page, e.g., your secure card here, is the way to go.

I placed, an order and it said I don't have to pay through walletbit.  Is there an address on the Avalon store I am supposed to send payment to?

When I click on Pay for order on Avalon Store it takes me to walletbit.

Try to go back to the order, then to walletbit, then "pay as guest" and see what happens.
Perhaps someone else did this and can give better detail.


By the time I figured out to try it as a guest checkout it had gone out of stock (not sure how it removed my cart even though I had 9 minutes left).  Fuck it - it wasn't meant to be.  Three attempts to get Avalon - each a fail  Roll Eyes

Try going to the main page when you are logged in.  Then on the right hand side go to the My account link, and see if there are any unpaid orders that show up.


I see the order but it's not open, says cancelled even though I never clicked a cancel link on walletbit.

That is unfortunate you didn't get a chance to buy one. We are working on a new checkout process that won't involve integration with WalletBit Secure Card. This should prevent any such confusion in the future. If for some reason not all 600 were sold they may be released in a smaller sale at a time of Avalon's choosing. In other words there still might be a chance. If not, maybe you are right and it just wasn't meant to be.

I read in one of the threads that Yufi (BitSyncom) was hand cancelling orders that were not paid.  PM him, BitSyncom, and give him a Bitcoin address where he can see that you have 6-confirmed funds ready to pay, and request that he change your status back to pending.  If there is another unpaid order, he can simply restore yours before he cancels that one without generating that much more chaos.

You might include a user experience report as well, to help improve the future.

Hi everybody,

Does anyone use the FIX API of Bitfloor? I am unable to connect  Sad The port 5252 that was specified in the documentation appears not to be answering, I also checked it with programs like paping (this pings a specific port http://code.google.com/p/paping/). Was this API disabled or its port changed?

thanks a lot,
Bella

I can open a port and send a homebrew LogOn message through stunnel, but nothing returns.
1468  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon batch#2 Re-open 2/18 on: February 19, 2013, 03:35:01 AM
I attempted to buy one unit and ran into that security card issue. Where it kicked me out after a little bit of time. I did pick one up a bit later when more inventory came online.

But the 2 orders that were canceled are now pending. Does that mean I can purchase the 2 orders now? Has anybody else experienced the same thing? Any feedback would be great!
Regards,
Brian

If you have the funds, hit the pay button and then let us know.

Well, when you create a system from scratch it should be created fairly. they could also get 99% of the wealth and leave the 1 percent for the rest, would you still agree with that?
And people here talking about communism are mistaken. I'm talking about an equal starting point.
I know it may not be practical, but maybe it could have been thought.
It's like when you play monopoly, you give each one same amount of money.

So from what I understand the system is based on the idea that the earlier you start mining the richer you are going to be? and it decays exponentially?







That is a half truth.  The new coins from mining drops.  However, the revenue from currency trading will increase.  Also, the revenue from the miner's fee will increase as the volume of transactions increases and the rate of block mining stays the same.
1471  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Wouldn't it be more fair if the bitcoins were shared equally? on: February 18, 2013, 11:06:15 PM
between all the people?
I don't see the reason why a few people who were the first could gain a big share of the coins and people who want to buy coins now have to pay for them. and why would people will cooperate with such system.
I mean I only heard about this today, I would participate earlier if I knew about it.

This is pretty much the guns and gold crowd.  They won't share bitcoins.  It doesn't matter if sharing would make a better world or not.
I grew up in Dallas and have lots of experience with this mindset.  Trust me, I'm a doctor.

Success
Order #2997
Transaction 5268c88176f24dcaae4e862e9ec1ad696a6915a20f1de9a7fe7042ad9b2f3b9b


Procedure
I ordered from the http://store.avalon-asics.com/?product=avalon-asic-batch-2 order page, starting at exactly 9:00 AM Eastern.
There was inventory available!  I couldn't believe my luck!

I was logged into Walletbit.
I was short of funds in my Walletbit wallet.
I kept web pages open, went on a jaunt to the bank, which is closed for the holiday, thence to the ATM, and then the MoneyGram location.
Moved funds to my Walletbit account, waited for 6 confirmations.  Worried I would be an ASIC wannabe.

I returned to the shopping card, re-activated the "proceed to checkout" button.  
I did get the pesky message asking for the "Secure Card" digits.

On the Walletbit dashboard, I clicked on "three-factor" (secure card)
That took me to this page.
https://walletbit.com/businesstools/manage-account-and-personal-notifications#securecard

I both added this card to my bookmarks bar, and also printed it.

It may be a one time pad.  You read the alphanumeric at the coordinates, and type them in.  When I did that, the order went through.

Warning Tips sent to 1HWdsr5FjadLMFiaZZvS4YqXpR4aQwDTHX will only encourage me to post more stuff like this.

1475  Economy / Goods / Bitcoin centric shopping cart on: February 17, 2013, 06:22:24 PM
I hope this is on the right board.

I'm one of those trying to purchase an Avalon ASIC.  The experience has led me to think of how I might conduct a similar sale, and I thought I would throw out some thoughts for the community to consider.

I like auctions, and my system would is influenced by my experience attending auctions.  My shopping cart would be a front end to a mySQL + PHP system.  I am indifferent as to whether I run this system, or I contract it out to someone else.  (I could also provide the service of this style shopping cart to lots of businesses.)  I would collect his information:

1.  Customer id information.
Name
Shipping Address
email contact
phone number
address used to submit this payment.  The customer has full control over this address, such as one time use.

2.  The customer id stuff would be signed in a bitcoin client and the signed document would be dropped into the shopping cart.

3.  Invoice information

An invoice would be presented that lists
Item sold
price quote in BTC
the address that the customer sends BTC to. 

4.  Public bids
For an auction, I would use the same address for all the bidders.  So...one address would be for all the bids on "Billy Bob's John Deere Combine, 2005" and another for "ProfMac Instruments' ExaHashery"

All the transactions (bids) would be time-stamped and public by the ordinary actions of bitcoins.  All the pay-from addresses could be one time use and not publicly traceable.  The paranoid could use a mixer to load that address.  This is all under customer control.


------
Using Avalon as an example, only because it is currently of interest to the community, there are a few different scenarios that might evolve.

1.  With a limit of 600 purchases and fixed (BTC) price, the 1st 600 fully paid transactions would get the order.  The auditing is clean and public.  Privacy is under the control of the customer.
2.  With a more traditional auction scenario, all of the payments that match (customer address, auction address, submitted before deadline) would be totaled.  The 600 high bids would be accepted, the remaining bids would be returned.
3.  Again, in the case of Avalon, several address could be disclosed.  For example, the March 600 public address, the March Lancelot return address, the April 600 public address, the May 600 public address.
4.  Cleanup addresses could also be disclosed.  For example, anyone who bid on the March auction and had their money returned could pay on the April cleanup address.  Payments from a previously unknown address to the cleanup address would simply be returned.

------
The unique mixture of anonymity, public time-stamps and amounts, and a large pool of accounting addresses allows a shopping card that is very unique to the Bitcoin world.

Just my too much coffee thoughts for this morning.

That entire heatsink on each card is saturated at 50C!  Holy hell on a crutch! 

Are those IR pics accurate?  That seems excessive... if it actually is 40 - 50C, what's going to happen to them in hot weather? 

Maybe Jeff can heat up a room to 85F or so and let it run to see what happens.


Why would he want to do that?   I think we can guess what happens. Either they slow down or it hits a temp cutoff that shuts down mining.  FYI, high temperatures will have adverse effects on mining operations.  What happens to BFL singles when they get too hot, they down-clock until they are within the optimal temperature range. 

I don't know if you noticed, but many parts of the world get to be 85F or more during the summer months.  Personally, I would want to know if my expensive mining hardware was going to shutdown when the temp rose as it would dictate how much power I had to consume to cool the thing with an AC unit.  Maybe you don't care, but I sure as hell would.


In many places where I have lived it is 85F when the air conditioner is running.

I just heard from the bank, my credit will be issued back to my credit card.  I called the Police because of the threats to his family.  I don't know what really happened but the whole things sounds more like a screw-up than a deliberate scam.

The family is off limits.

Hi all,

I am Bella, I am a Ph.D. student in Financial Economics, I have a Master in CS, so I am interested in algo-trading with bitcoin. Trying to connect to Bitfloor FIX API, no luck so far Sad

I just heard of FIX this week, at Bitfloor.  I have been reading a bit about it.

i'm not trying to be negative i just want people to understand with the way things are on the internets by solely claiming user beware does not create a good ecosystem

The bitcoins are worthless without the ecosystem.
