[Avalon ASIC] Batch #2 pre-Sale Thread

[el_rlee]

Don't forget that Jeff measured power consumption with the UPS included, our APC Matrix 3000 uses about 120 Watts to keep it's batteries afloat and run the electronics.

The measurement was taken with the Kill-A-Watt plugged into the UPS, and the miner plugged into the Kill-A-Watt.  In other words, the Kill-A-Watt was between the UPS and the miner.

Batteries and other miscellany are not included in that measurement.

Does your kill-a-watt distinguish between apparent power and effective power? The amps going through the cable are the first one, but I guess you only pay the latter...

ah OK, the gossip floating around was incorrect, I should not have posted that.

You have a kill-a-watt that has a C14 inlet?

For the daredevils that paid the small amount earlier today and want to pay the full amount: check your browser history of earlier today for a link to bitwallet which contains https: // walletbit.com / pay ? token= (obviously without the spaces) and open that page again. You can pay the full amount and then prey....

No guarantees from my side, so don't shoot me if it fails!!!

I did it and I got the your paid BC 229 to Avalon confirmation page from walletbit and made a receipt:

Please wait, generating.
Item total 229.48540702 BTC
TOTAL 4,495.49 USD
Transaction 0b00c37f145fc7ebbe0626c99...
Time 11:23:35PM 02/02/2013

Then going back to the avalon side gave me store page without any further form to fill in.

AGAIN: DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK !!

Possibly the most insane thing I've heard anyone do recently.

So what if walletbit ignores your order? Are you going to forumsue with cookie printouts?

More and more people are doing it. I got a confirmation from Avalon that my order is OK :-) So not so insane after all!

Well, I have :sadface: and no order number or receipt.

To cheer myself up I mathed and updated last nights post with details that had been requested:

http://organofcorti.blogspot.com/2013/02/99-asic-choices-avalon-update-2-by.html

• Electricity costs for Eurpoe and California.
• Lower power consumption figures for countries using 220 - 240 V mains.
• The 12 000 Ghps coming online during this month from ASICMiner are included.
• Daily earnings are charted as well as cumulative earnings

Im a bit surprised by how many people tried ordering 3+ units today.  That's a lot of power to support.  I might be able to support 2 of them at home before I run into trouble but I'm not sure about 3.

I bet they are banking on scarcity to last for long enough so they can sell 1 or 2 at a profit.

I don't go to gigs anymore, so I didn't think I'd have to deal with ticket scalpers ever again. And yet here they are.

I spoke to a few people that where looking to purchase and resell. Could run them for a while before BFL gets there orders out.

[LTC555]

I add a unit to my cart, click checkout, fill out my info, then click purchase...

All it says is:

"incorrect configuration, did you input your token?"

the FUCK?

Nowhere to input token, no instructions on how to order...

Anyone know wtf to do?

Whether something is insane or not is in no way affected by the eventual result. Thinking otherwise is a certificate of being 15 years old.

I thought you'd have to be crazy to use "insane" to describe an action instead of people. However:

in·sane 
/inˈsān/
Adjective
1. In a state of mind that prevents normal perception, behavior, or social interaction; seriously mentally ill.
2. (of an action or quality) Characterized or caused by madness.

Still, I'm the not sure DSM V includes as a definition of any of the various types of mental illness purchasing a high risk item from an online store that has recently functioned somewhat eratically using a payment processor that seems to have added to the problem.

It is out of stock again, everything is sold now ?

[wknight]

So organofcorti what would be your ROI on the possible second batch if you dont pay for power

Just kidding man.. wife will kill you for spending to much time next to the computer by now
