10 go to sidehack for hosting    9 are borachinua    1 is {bctmke+philipma1957}

6 go to me in NJ    1 philipma1957, 1 HerbPean, 2 TheSmokingMan, 2 jonnybravo0311



1 sloopy  in Ok needs drop ship
1 tlhIlwI  in TN needs drop ship


Okay

@ sloopy I will need a shipping address  ------ asap
@ tlhIlwI  I will need a shipping address ------ asap

@ borachinua  I have sidehack's shipping info
@ bctmke       I have sidehack's shipping info


   I will request full kits of rasp pi's wires etc.

  For all, but borachinua  you will get 1 rasp pi full kit and 9 four pin wires for a daisychain.

This will be pretty easy for yan as he will ship to 4 address's

Me
sidehack
sloopy
tlhIlwI

rather then 10 .

Yan has asked me to stream line orders as best as we can.
He has a small crew and they got a lot of gear in this week.

[tlhIlwI]

@ philipma1957 -- PM with info sent

[philipma1957]

@ philipma1957 -- PM with info sent

got it and I have put in orders for the 18 units to Yan.

[judypug1956]

this is to bump thread up

[philipma1957]

I bumped thread with my secondary account. judypug1956


I just got off the phone with Yan.

He will provide me with tracking this evening.

He is aware of our payments made for the 18 units total.

he said these should do 3600gh to  3700 gh at .3 watts per gh standard voltage.

So for those of you with an evga 1300 g2  these should be good to go.

now I have an interesting sidebar piece of info.

Kipper01  was nice enough to burn a mini sdcard that would work in the rasp pi model 2  the newest model.

I have been running my 2 ½ avalon 6's and  the fans and temps have been reworked with this  card.

[jonnybravo0311]

And you popped a decent 7.5G share, too, in the 16 hours they were running

What do you mean by fans and temps have been reworked on this version of software. The 3 I have I am running at 30%min fan to keep temps at 66-70. I thought the 72-77 was a little high with auto fan and 20% min setting. The metal brackets right around the fan were hot enough to cause a burn if held for more then 10-20 seconds. My ambient temp is 65f and miner reads incoming temp as 28-29.

So just curious what this custom version provides from what was shipped.

[philipma1957]

I think the mini sdcard for the new rasp pi  adjusts fan speed so you stay under 70f.  So far I can not find an other difference from the older rasp pi

I like you was getting 74 to 77 with the oem sdcard in the older model rasp pi.

Kipper01 told me he was coing to try the rasp pi model 2 and load the image from the website.  it does not work on the older rasp pi's

I asked him to mail me a good mini sdcard for the rasp pi model 2  I tested it at  freq 500 and fan 20  and when the unit would get to temp of 70 fans ramp and cool back down. to 67 68.

Since I burned 1 hash board with  the 75-77 internals I prefer the 68-70 internals.

I since discovered if  set at 42% my temps stay flat at 65-66  and I  never ramp up the fans are steady at

[sloopy]

Thanks for getting me in on this Phil. Hello all.
If you ever need anything instantly just text me. For a new miner to play with I will always answer immediately haha.
 Phil, I would always get with you right away.
(By the way there is a list of addresses where you can text from your PC for all of the Cell Carriers on ZachM's Kano.IS CKPool site.)

I've wanted this Avalon miner but the cost was not working on paper, until I added a couple of other variables. The cost of RMAing parts with a-nother manufacturer has cost which must be factored in, time spent with hashboards going back and forth, time spent with hashboards going back and forth, time spent writing e-mails to go through 4 phases of life trying to get help, polite, stern, upset, pleading, passing out

Any tips for a new Avalon 6 user? I also haven't played with a pi, but I've played with all sorts of other similar components and I can scrape by in Linux. I do well when copying and pasting someone else's commands.
Where is the best underclock thread?
How are the failure rates? Anything special I should look out for when looking under the hood?
I checked the support section but didn't find the right manual yet. I'd like to see manufacturer specifications for power. Do you think this unit will be 1200?


Thanks all

I think it will use 1100 watts to do about 3700gh

So if you are a 120 volt guy the evga 1300 is pretty much spot on to run this gear.

Suggestions gear the room under 92f  I am setting my freq at 500 with my fans at 45%
My temps are steady at 66c  the room is about 82 f

don't get the room really hot don't over volt.

Every fail has been running boards with high volts 3 separate boards burned

at high volts like 12.7 or 12.8 input volts.

@ every one in on this buy I did not get the shipping info as of 1 am  I am going to crash.

 Yan should post them via pm to me on sat or sun

That's interesting.  I am going to switch over to the older rasp pi model this evening.  I'll see if I get similar results.

[philipma1957]

Yan was crazy busy with the shipment that arrived but he did send out tracking.

all sent ups

The six to my house in NJ

1  for me
1  for HerbPean
2  for Jonnybravo0311
2 for  TheSmokingMan

Will Arrive in NJ on Weds. With luck they will all be sent out by Thurs.

the 10 to sidehack 9 for   and 1  for bctmke-philipma1957

Will arrive on Thurs in Rolla Mo

The 1 drop ship to sloopy will arrive on thur in OK

The final drop ship to tlhIlwI

will arrive on fri in TN



I want to thank Yan   for getting all gear shipped on the 29th
I want to thank Yan for sending out the replacement hash board to me.

All these tracking numbers are UPS I will post here as they move towards destination.

I do not like giving the numbers out because of redirect issues. This is why Yan sends me the numbers via email not PM.

At the risk of sounding repetitive, thanks phillipma1957 for yet another successful group buy.

I'm wondering if the new hash rate for the "version 2" Avalons has more to do with the firmware updates than the string design. Here is a screen cap of my "Version 1" Avalon with the latest version firmware (MM & Ras Pi B) at 12.2 volts.

http://imgur.com/QyHqL8q

Seems I'm achieving the same results as "version 2" with lower volts using Jabber's/Finksy 4k watt PSU

If that's not the case, if I'm pulling 3.9 THs from a version 1 that's rated at 3.5 THs, then I should pull 4.2-4.3 THs from a version 2 Avalon with 3.8-3.9 THs hashing average. Can't wait till these bad boys/girls arrive!

yeah maybe it is better firmware.   not sure.

What exact versions are you running on both? Trying to decide if to update my version 1 miners to what you have running. My PSU is feeding 12.1 in most cases and running getting 3.4 on avg.

To be fair, the server PSUs are pushing out 12.55v measured by my multi-meter, but the GUI is reading 12.2v.

[philipma1957]

yeah the 12.5 volt setting  gives good hashing numbers.

All ups tracking numbers show the same

  Me in NJ = Wed 6 pieces 1 for me 1 for HerbPean 2 for thesmokingman 2 for jonnbravo0311

  sidehack hosting = Thur 10 pieces  9 for  borachinua   and 1 for bctmke/philipma1957

  Sloopy in OK = Thur 1 piece

  tlhIlwI in TN = Fri 1 piece


I assisted thesmokingman and bctmke  in getting btc for the buys.

I am expecting my replacement board late to day will post on it in this thread

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1336377.0

[tlhIlwI]

 tlhIlwI in TN = Fri 1 piece

Looking forward to it!

I'm going to voltage adjust the power supply for it (a HP server supply) tonight.  What voltage at the multimeter are you all seeing for the 12.2V safe reading at the GUI?
