pointing an avalon 6 at the pool waiting to see if it shows up.

looks good!

How do you like the Avalon?  How does it compare to the S7?

well  my batch 2 s-7  was an amazing machine.  But every other s-7 was not as good.  I just tested 10 avalon6's with the group buy I did.

they are very consistent and far better built.  With a real quality psu you can get  as good as .285 watts a gh 

I only kept 1 s-7 and I am keeping 3 avalon6's

In house the avalon6's are quieter. with the right psu they can push  4.0th for a max.

Wish I had seen your group buy... Definitely looking to replace my ancient S3s

He's already mentioned at possibly doing more.  Keep an eye on Kilo17 - he also mentioned having 80-100 Avalon 6s within the next week or so and plans to offload them at his cost.

So you'll have the opportunity to pick up an Avalon 6 or two (I have a pair of S3s Im trying to get rid of also - a S3 and a S3+).

Definitely will keep a look out... I've got 8 S3s and an S5 to replace.  Who knows... If I can get a good enough price maybe I'll do a promo or something.  Probably wait until Kano's is over, though.

Good call

I've thought about getting rid of my S5 but I'll probably just move it out of my basement when I finally get something bigger (it'll go somewhere hosted because I can the same or cheaper costs hosted)

Im looking at 2 or 4 S7s depends on how much its going to cost for hosting. Im in Cali and power sucks.

I have 2x S5 which I really wish to upgrade with one or two S7. When you say you'll go somewhere hosted, how does this work ? If the cost is cheaper, I will consider doing so too. I live in Malta and electricity costs are not so cheap so other cheaper options are very welcome...

You find a hosting provider - send your miner / power supplies to them.  They keep them functional (providing power/cooling, power cycling them, etc).

You pay them a monthly fee based on how much power you use.

Some providers offer VPN access so that you can log in to your miner - otherwise you're at their mercy (meaning usually you have to email them for changes).

But in the end - its all about how cheap the power is for them.

So as an example a few users her at bitcointalk have hosting facilities (one in the US another in Canada).  I could send my miner to either of them.  With current exchange rates the Canadian host is a better deal (makes the electricity cost real low).  BUT it'll cost me more to ship it to him and there will be additional taxes when my item enters Canada.  So I have to take that into account and then you have to decide if you want a host who requires a contract or one who doesn't.

Lots of thought to go into something like that.

But in short - if you can find a host (who's well known and respected) who charges less than what you pay for electricity it *might* be a good idea for you.

Thanks bctmke didn't know about such services. Will have to do some homework before deciding on how to proceed.

Any idea were can I put my miners for sale before investing in better ones ?

[jonnybravo0311]

There are places right here on these forums where you can sell items .

Sorry for asking stupid questions but I'm quite new to the bitcoin community so I'm still learning things. Will search a bit around a see what I find   Thanks Jonny ...

Let me help you reduce your search time... Here's the thread where you would buy/sell gear: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=75.0

eBay is also an option if its available to you.

[underachieved]

Amazon also.

[eghigo]

Thank you all guys for your help, much appreciated. I can give it a try on all options you mentioned and see how it goes and hopefully upgrade to better hardware

[bctmke]

Amazon also.

Ive always thought about selling on Amazon but they want you to be a business.  I can't use it as an individual without a bunch of annoyances   (at least that I've found)

Well I rented a little more hashing power this morning but somebody is rent 3PH today, so maybe it will kick in later on.
