I am likely only to break even and am OK with that.
fuck that, you may be OK with that but i will bet you my soul the majority of people will not be OK with that. people dont invest to break even. they expect or hope for a healthy return. The first bitcoin miners did not expect return. |

The Scary thought is not delivering on time. We need to have the Vendors to Guarantee Delivery on Time.
My Avalon is making about 0.8 BTC per day this week, down a lot from the 5 or 6 BTC/day estimated in mid March. I am in touch with the large amount of income that it could have made in March, April, May, and June. Almost 10 years ago, I spent a very long time laying out a computer board, making prototype runs, getting the software right. I posted photographs of operational prototypes, and I tried to collect pre-paid funds to do a cheaper production run. I did not get the money, and I did not make the run. No one was angry with me, but no one got a product, and I was effectively unemployed during my development time. KickStarter is a thriving crowd sourced pre-paid project funding environment, and it is very, very cool. I am convinced, if Bitsyncom / Avalon had not taken pre-orders, that the angst surrounding them would not exist. I am also sure that I would not have an Avalon, and that the Avalon units that did sell would be much more expensive. I am gathering funds now to make another pre-order paid with bitcoin. I hope enough other people will pre-pay so that the technology growth continues. |

Well that is then corresponding with when the avalon is ready/getting more work then. Why it suddenly started showing that, I don't know. Nor do I know why it doesn't show it on mine.
I am on Slush's Pool if that has anything to do with it. Should my network activity light on the router show activity with this same pattern? I am on eligius's pool. The 20130703 software did not do this. The '14, '14-1, '18, and now '19 software do. I typically flash and do not power down the unit. I did power it down 24 hours after the '18 flash, to be sure it would start correctly. Please never-mind the lack of logic in that behavior. I have a version 1.52 controller board, very late batch #2 unit. |

I have flashed a few successive versions of the software.
At 21:28 CDT, a few minutes ago, I flashed the 20130819 version.
The 20130814 & 20130814-1 versions degraded performance slightly.
The 20130818 version improved performance, and the auto tune frequency increased from 347 MHz to 352 MHz.
The orange light, which glows steadily when the unit is out of communication with the network, flashes. This behavior is reported widely and is not understood.

Hi, the other day I've upgraded three batch #1 three modules Avalons from 20130519 to 20130814... I've lost a good 10% of hashing capacity  Inside Avalon GUI I still see 70 GH, I'm not using --avalon-auto (nor any other option) given that I'm still using the stock PSU, but on pool graph you can clearly see when I've updated them  My question is: can I go back to 20130519 without problems or do I risk to brick them? TIA spiccioli ps. I see that there is now 20130818, but I'd prefer to go back to what was working before trying next firmware. 20130703 worked very well for me. 20130814 & 20130814-1 worked poorly. 20130818 was an improvement. It has run 24+ hours. |

Anyone that has a IAFCU account want to trade 1K USD for Bitcoins?
1:1 bitcoins @(MtGox+Bitstamp)/2 Last
~10.7 BTC for 1k USD
How would that work? |
|

|
|
Can IAFCU members transfer money to each other?

Heh, however only those who preordered made a profit  actually... no only avalon batch 1. that's it (and journalists who got their BFLs) I have one of the last Avalon Batch #2 (Feb 18) units shipped. I expect break-even in 3 more weeks. |

I think the survey should have the selection:
"deliver as soon as possible"

BCB gets a post award for quality. Thank you sir. Yes, quality fore-lock tugging, bowing, scraping and general sycophancy. I think Lao Tsu would approve of BCB's post. |

I've PMed with the winning bidder and he's been gratious enough to relinquish his bid in light of the recent interest. 6
Poochone: if you're serious about this bid for this as is module, PM me with where you would need it shipped. I confirm this. I also have tracking information on other parts that I pre-paid for. |

If the production really would include so many uncertainties in time why didnt Yifu say a word about it? Instead he spoke about 2 weeks in customs for a couple chip batches. If it were true that TSMC, for some reason, had delays then it would be the most normal thing in the world to blame them to change the flow of anger and they are the reason, isnt it?
The truth always comes out. We will know, later. |

you should check the the number of boards miner count is 32 and not 24
I had the same problem once.
Where can I check that? What do I do if its 24? It will be 24 before you start. Open the web page to your Avalon. Go to the Status tab, the cgminer Configuration subtab About 12 lines down, you should find the Miner Count entry. Change this from 24 to 32. Then click on Save & Apply. The web page will appear hung for perhaps 30 seconds, then it will be live again. Go check Status --> cgminer log at that point, all should be good. |

Sorted problem not sure wtf went on tho.
1 flashed to new firmware had running then all sudden when flashing system powered down powered back up solid red light and solid orange light had to telnet the fucker and firstboot didnt work mount_Root said a bunch of stuff then checked for ip and reverted to 192.168.0.100 so changed and manged to get access again.
Can you power the system down then back up and have it work with version 20130818? Does the orange light flash on your system? |

I agree it is Yifu's fault for acting like 10 weeks was a sure thing. But it's not like he just failed to snap his fingers, like you seem to believe.
Oh man. He missed the part about clicking the ruby red shoes together 3 times. |

New problem after firmware system powered down. Restarted now have solid Red light and solid orange light and no access to Avalon any ideas how to fix
Has anyone successfully power cycled after update? |

For those of you who think it is easy to order chips and that YiFu could easily have done better and cheaper, I offer a challenge:
Make it so.
They had them in January ... so ... yeah send out an order for more of the same ... I guess that was beyond his abilities ... I don't think I can produce a batch of ASICs. If you can, then compete with him. I'm not sure I understand your point, but my point is that I think Yifu has been unethical and needs to right his wrongs. I don't think the reason my chips haven't shipped have anything to do with how difficult it is to develop/produce/ship an ASIC. It has to do with him selling it to the highest bidder and not fulfilling his own plainly state "no bullshit" (should have been "loads of bullshit") terms of sale. If he deliberately acted bad, it is pointless to try to do anything about it, you can't really force him. If he did his best and was overwhelmed, adding more distractions will just make him more behind. |
