I just noticed a few sites are starting to sell these like the one below. Just wondering if any bitcointalkers have anything in their hands to review? TIA http://www.mybtcpool.com/product/avalon6-3-65ths/

From the site "We believe this miner is the most profitable investment on the market."
I wonder how they came to that conclusion given the only other miner on the market today is more efficient and costs less per Th/s.

They have not arrived stateside as of today per BlockC who is the US distributer.

$1650??? too high.... ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) I think it was like 1300 originally but blockc is now 1500 I believe on buying one. So if they are selling at that rate that is pretty fair on re seller. But I have never bought from that site. So I can't say how good/ or not good it is.

So if they are selling at that rate that is pretty fair on re seller. But I have never bought from that site. So I can't say how good/ or not good it is. If you don't mind me asking, what is your opinion? Are you getting one as soon as possible or are you waiting for reviews from others, or not even on your radar at the moment? Seeing you pictures and hearing the description of your farm, you probably have to consider how much you reinvest back in the farm, and when. Obviously the S5+ purchase had to be quick, but as such looks like it has turned out to be a fantastic investment for you. I think that was a right time right place scenario. Regardless of those situations where you must decide quickly, do you mind sharing how and when you are determining to replace more miners, or if you have a set financial amount you reinvest in some fashion? I think some of these types of things may be items some people won't share, but I also think there are others who will share the way they may handle something without discussing a specific dollar amount. The experience from being involved in something many others, many who are new, look to see what they are doing. Touching one last time on that topic I think little things like that we can work together somehow and share more details with each other to make a "Plan B" for halving. Way off topic here, but think about a plan b where people who want, people in the community, have plans on how to continue and expand on involvement in mining. Anyway, hope to hear from you

Transaction fees go to the pools and the pools decide to pay them to the miners. Anything else, including off-chain solutions are stealing and not the way Bitcoin was intended to function. Make the block size set by the pool. Pool = miners and they get the choice.

BlockC was at $1300 originally - which was already quite a bit too high to give a reasonable chance at RoI for folks that don't have VERY VERY cheap electric.
The current pricing is just crazy.
IMO wait for the Lketc/BW.com B-Eleven to hopefully ignite some REAL price competition.

Anyway, hope to hear from you I sometimes get sucked in and enjoy jumping in as I enjoy doing reviews. The S5+ was deferentially one of those. Unless I get a urge and end up ordering I will chances are wait. This gives me 2 big things. One it allows me to see if it underclocks, no one knows how far it will go. If it has under clock capabilities like 4.1 yes I will want one. The other thing is they raised the price from 1300 to 1500 to get close to matching bitmains new S7 price. So I think even if I sit just a few weeks on BTC the value will raise and I will have to spend less to get it. But who know's I have purchased miners at last minute before.

No one know's if it will underclock a little, or like 4.1 and have a pretty huge under clock. If they do around what you mention yes that would make them best miner out there. But we don't know if they can do it or not till they start getting to customers.

I may end up ordering one from the site. Price has a bit of a premium but they do take paypal, so some protection if they never ship me anything.
If I do I will post a review.

Would you be purchasing it mainly for reviewing, or to actually try and turn a profit? If you're looking for a profit, wouldn't purchasing an S7 make more sense? Right now you can purchase a 4.05 TH/s Antminer S7 for 4 BTC (higher hashrate, less cost than the Avalon 6) which would be arriving probably around Christmas time. The site you linked to has no mention of shipping dates. Plus, the S7 is more efficient than the Avalon 6, it seems like an S7 would be a better investment if you're looking to make some money.

I believe what they are wanting is someone to confirm that the New Avalon will underclock in similar with the last model and if it does would run more efficient than the S7 and quieter. That's the intent of this thread from what I gather.

The newest batch of S7 looks to be it could be undervolted for better efficient power usage. The A6 needs a controller, worse efficiency and less hash rate...I just don't see how the avalon would be a better choice. Maybe its a bit quieter...but once you're into this league of miners id think you would have a room dedicated to miners and power hookup.

Look at the AVALON 4.1 underclock and you can specule if the AVALON 6 will have the same hability: Chip Freq Voltage Hashrate/Ghs Power Usage/W 375:300:275 7000 800 419 375:350:300 7500 866 457 420:390:360 7625 980 542 450:390:370 8000 1000 600 500:450:430 8125 1140 710 550:500:450 8250 1250 800 570:510:470 8375 1300 990 The Avalon 4.1 have a very impresive underclock hability...

If I can add to the negatives list: 1) Claimed MOQ of 10 from blockc (but the order screen will accept an order of one). 2) No tolerances on the efficiency 3) Blockc is not just the US distributor but the "global master distributor (ex China).

They've never had problems with tolerances or false claims, doubt It'd start now. 3) Blockc is not just the US distributor but the "global master distributor (ex China).
Why does that matter?
