[CLOSED] Avalon 4.1 Miner 1.3 TH 40+ units

[valkir]

Yes you are!  Avalon 4.1 is quiet as hell. Almost no sound honestly!

[Dabs]

Hi,

I haven't looked in this subforum in awhile. I used to do group buys and can also help with escrow. When are you guys buying?

[hookthem]

In for 1

[hookthem]

** BEWARE ** A user named "jstefanoq" (rather than "jstefanop") PMed me saying the first 20 are in stock and to send him coins for the shipment.  DO NOT FALL FOR THIS.

[Ecnad]

Can the OP give us an update on if this is still in the works?

[tarzan2]

[jstefanop]

ill do a recount if people are still interested...

and yea I haven't asked anyone for payment or anything and would use escrow, so don't fall for scammers.

[jstefanop]

Current Interest below...still only have 25 units...if xircom is serious about 30 then wed have enough so I have contacted both him and Avalon to see what they can do if we get closer to 60 units.

Listen Guys,  price has to come down a lot for my 30 miners.
I do not want to pay the same amount of money for 30 miners as one who buys 4-5 miners,  I hope it makes sense.
I have an official offer on 370$ ex shipping from the 16th April and price should have got further down, now the Bitmain S7 is soon released (July)  and my guess would be an 2-2.5th miner with wattage around 900 watts.
If you are able to get the price down to 350 without shipping I could still be interested other wise I wait for the S7 or make a direct purchase from Avalon.
Maybe we should go for an Bitmain group by of the S7.
Those 30 Avalon miners would give me and ROI of 6 month with present diff. When paying 0,04$ a Gh.
By the way a very good initiative, lets have some more group buys so we can keep mining alive for home miners.

thats quite a prediction.. is speculation or do you have something to back this up? i know KNC is working on some baddass chips like this but they are not marketing them for sale..
i see predictions like this all the time .. i see predictions like this that end being right close to null
no offense...

edit: oh and if this order gets out in the next week or 2 im game for + 2 more =3

I don't believe in vaporware.  (S6-S7 by July)

[Xircom]

I'm pretty sure about this. Just look at the New dual miner from Sfard https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=985400.0
They are 1.7th + 47 mhash scrypt at 900w + at the wall.
Bitmain confirms that S7 is scheduled for July + I got my info from a very reliable source testing a lot of hardware from different producers here on Bitcointalk….
In 1 month time Avalon is obsolete if price dosent come down big time.

So at current prices, the SFART has the 'potential' to earn about 0.032BTC per day, or roughly 1BTC a month COMBINED. Power costs at low end of $0.1/KW = $73.00
Profit 'potential' is $170+- a month per machine. If they price it $8-900, it's a solid 5-6month ROI. Not bad. If it costs less in the $5-600 range it's a Solid Winner, unless bitmain pulls a 0.3W/GH rig out of their hats AND it doesn't sound like a freaking jet engine before take off.  The S5 was disappointing to me with regards to noise levels. Not built for home mining at all.

The Avalon 4.1 (If I ever get my hands on one) seems to be the silent winner IF you have cheap or free power.

Since there is no power figures release from BM on the S6-S7, it's vaporware, no matter who says what. Simple as that.
Not the first time promises have been broken in the mining industry with regards to efficiency. 

Let's wait until they are actually in people's hands and we have real world figures.

The SFART looks promising IF scrypt prices stay up (and with LTC halving coming up, I don't see why they wouldn't be).

[Xircom]

Its actual pretty easy.
Avalon do NOT want to intefear with Bitmain and start a price war, thats why the price dosent go down on Avalon products, but now when Sfart is ready for launch its a complete different story.
Bitmain will NOT release specs before Sfart has announced the end price. My guess price wise is still same as I said before.
SO, group by wise, Avalon needs to get down to 320-340 range pr miner before you are able to take ROI, with those 2 new miners from Bitmain and Sfart reardy on the dorstep, or im I wrong guys ?

[wlefever]

They got a group buy price (lee's hosting group) for Sfards

get one price of 7000CNY(1129$), but we need wait until the middle of the august before we can get the miner....
so what are your guys thinking about this offer

I don't think we will see Avalon move on their price too much

[thedreamer]

Wow, that's too high at today's market IMO. We'll see how they REALLY fare after people have them as far as efficiency.

No demo or review no real info on them running anywhere.

I wouldn't touch the SFARDS gear with a 10 foot pole until you see something in the wild. By 'wild' I mean non-bias user posting a review.

i looked into it a bit after your post there xircom.. though i dont know if i believe the s7 will be the dream machine we all hope it will be
https://www.hashcoins.com/buy-asic-miners/buy-uranus/
this is rather interesting..
6 THash/s for about 1.6kw
it claims 0.26 watt/ghash .. if this is legit and it eventually scales downwards, then i'd say it has a rather large potential to shake things up.. too bad its backordered some months now or i'd consider ponying up for one

edit: though, i might actually try to get my hands on one of these eventually.. just need a bit more cheeze

[jstefanop]

Ok so latest from Avalon is that they are completely sold out of new units, but have used units to sell. If people don't care that they are used I will try and negotiate a price for used.
