I did some scheduled maintenance today. I purchased an OCZ ZX 1250 power supply.The installation went well, the miner is hashing again. The power draw at the wall is less, but the readings have not stabilized. The initial indications are about 20 W less demand at 355 MHz clock. |

Exactly, nice analogy. People get too stuck in terms they're so used to that they can't accept it when other people use a term in a different way even though it actually makes perfect sense if you think about it. A negative ROI is a theoretical construct, it's like saying you have money when it shows -$100,00 on your bankaccount balance. I'm sure accountants work with negative ROI all day and it's all normal, but to me and others a 'Return' on an investment implies actually making a profit from it. A negative ROI would basically mean it has become a LOI now (a 'Loss' on Investment). Who is to say this usage is wrong? Just because some accountants/traders can't stand it when people use a term differently or less broadly than they do they get to decide it's wrong? Well that's just too bad, the world doesn't revolve around them. A return to me implies a profit and therefore making ROI means turning an investment into a profit. The same reason I would only say I have money on the bank when my bank account shows a positive balance.
When you make up meanings to words, people misunderstand you, and even mistrust you. Some will even accuse you of deception. This drama takes a lot of energy. It also takes energy to do a little homework and use the correct language. But that energy is much less, and you and the surrounding community can be taken seriously by others. I would like others, such as the utility company and grocer in town, to take bitcoin seriously. Please take the time to use language correctly. |

The magic smoke left the 680 uF Tantalum capacitor C1 on the hashunit (10 Avalon chip submodule)
I cannot find a Bill of Material.
Does anyone have a MFR part number, or a Mouser number?

just a question, how do you sure about who will actually pay, and how to confirm the winners? you will send a private email?
In my own auction, I had people pay to a certain address and refunded the non-winning bids. |

We have to operate by the rules, given the type of company we want to become.

Actually this estimate is incorrect. If you look carefully, the first mining month is estimated as having a diff of 293 million(!) Our units will start shipping on October 2nd, when we will still obviously be at the current difficulty 149 million. This is a big flaw of the mining.thegenesisblock.com calculator... The granularity of 1-month in its table of numbers is too coarse to accurately predict the revenue of a miner shipping in the next few days because there is a big difference between a miner shipping on October 1st vs October 30th, but in both cases mining.thegenesisblock.com will show the same revenue! So to work around this flaw, you have to fudge with the "current difficulty" so that the October 2013 starting mining difficulty starts at 149 million, in which case you see that at 15 BTC our miners are clearly profitable even assuming a 100% month-over-month difficulty increase: http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/a/db4d60faba. This is the calculator that I use, but I don't have any smart way to decide what parameters I believe. |

Why run it in an auction format and not just fix a price for sale? I would think you want these units sold asap.
Question: Are you mining with units that will be auctioned currently?
They offered their eligius statistics as proof that the units exist and are functional. 2,951 (GH/s) / 105 (GH/s / unit) = 28 units. |

Will --avalon-fan 80 turn on the fans if there are no modules or temperature sensors plugged in?

Well done! And congratulations on a great looking miner delivered at a fair price.
320 chips @ 0.078 / each = 24.96 BTC. I think condolences are in order. |

A question about fans.
I have a damaged second hand Batch #3. The power distribution board is destroyed, and I can't find a source for a replacement.
I only have 1 of the mining modules. It is also damaged, the 10 chip miner P9 has a destroyed capacitor in the center of the chips, the familiar capacitor seen in many other photographs.
I have moved the header / backplane chip 1 position toward higher numbers.
I bought a control module and a power distribution module from bitmine. I believe these conform closely to the public release of the early Avalon schematics.
The unit hashes and submits shares to eligius. The 10 chip miner connected to the first position on the header always reports 0 work, so I assume that both the 1st header and the 1st 10 chip miner are damaged.
No matter what I do, the fans only turn a few dozen rpm, and the temp2 and temp3 are reported as 0 using c kolivas 20130821 firmware.
I am using --avalon-fan 80 in the parameters.
Does anyone have any insight about the fans?

after checking telnet client I tried telnet us3.eclipsemc.com 3333 in the terminal
a line came up and then the screen cleared before I could see what it said.
That means you can reach that port on that server. So it is working correctly. Make sure your Windoze firewall isn't blocking cgminer.exe or cgminer-nogpu.exe. The target here is to run cgminer on a Pi. But, I guess we've further verified that the port is available on the server.  I was very happy to learn about the TP-Link 703n, because it was a self contained Linux box with a MIPS cpu and networking hardware built in. Occasionally I get excited about some other hardware that I have software tools for. I know the raspberry pi has some nice video interfacing, and is pretty inexpensive. However, I wonder what the particular reason is that people want to run cgminer from it? |

Well, I think it is done using a simple script - just matter of checking if all data is correct Script like: bitcoind walletpassphrase ... bitcoind sendtoaddress <address1> 5.45 bitcoind sendtoaddress <address2> 7.45 bitcoind sendtoaddress <address3> 8.45 etc... You can use excel to generate this script from the list of buyers in 5 minutes I use the sendmany command. This puts the entire refund in 1 transaction. I don't know how to make Excel emit a ready to go command, I still do a bit of hand editing. |

Are you selling the 7 working sub-modules or the broken one?
Both. I bid BTC 0.1 for the broken sub-module. I bid BTC 2.0 for the entire module, broken sub-module included. --edited-- BTC 2.5, entire module. |

What's the watt pull (measured, not from box, by a 4 module) by the PSU at the wall? An original 4-module Avalon I have pulls around 950 Watts at the wall with a 1200W digital PSU. This is with 240V. I know what they're supposed to pull ... Looking for a measurement though ;/ I have a Batch #2 Avalon with a 4th module added in the field. It pulls about 1030 W when running near 345 MHz. 120 V. |

I feel like there should be a decentralized virtual world that goes with Bitcoin... what do you guys think...?
A Second Life grid where the Avatar's wallet is integrated into the world? |
