Does anybody know approx how loud this will be compared to an Antminer S3?

[philipma1957]

I am keen for one unit but would require shipping to Australia

not sure how easy this would be to do.

let me check shipping.

if kilo17 got them to his place at 1550 usd  each counting shipping.

I would need to figure what it cost to ship to you.  I then need to see about declaring its value.

I will shoot you a pm some time this weekend.

[philipma1957]

Can you give a estimate for the actual price?

kilo17 needs to tell me what his cost shipped to his location.



So base on current  1500 price maybe   1625.  For USA customers.       


As there won't be a mark up on my end.   I will add shipping and a few bucks for packing and handling. 

I am in NJ zipcode is 07731

Kilo17 is in Tennessee.

the seller is west coast san francisco.

They are sending 25 to him next week.
He will send me 5.

So to avoid moq and preorder  there is extra shipping.

Still better this way.

On the fence.

same here. I would like to see a review of one prior to jumping in right away.

[kilo17]

Philip is correct, I am selling these from the ones that I have purchased for my farm and I am trying to help out people that do not want or need to purchase the MOQ of 10.  Also, I cannot afford to be making huge purchases for others when I am putting out the money up front.  I am not a business trying to resell them nor do I want to be.

All of these machines will be warrantied by BlockC in the US.  Philipma or I can also mail them out if you supply the label which may be the best way.  It will allow you to be in control of how fast it gets to you and if you want insurance on the package etc.

 

Shipping to me from BlockC is $40 each and they are using 2 day shipping.

Looks like other sites offering them at 1650 and they take PayPal

I may have to jump on that if its not much of a price diff

Someone want to make a Canada group to buy this miner?

[bigredbutton]

The entire back panel of lights on one of my Avalon 4.1 is all lite up and blinking in unison. ERR, WARN, TXD etc. solid and pulsing in unison. I took the unit apart and nothing appears out of the ordinary. Any recommendations on trouble shooting?

I'd start with power. That arrangement isn't on the wiki so it might be continually resetting over and over again.

Does anybody know approx how loud this will be compared to an Antminer S3?

S5/S7 loud at stock configuration, its an identically specified fan.


Some notes from the wiki by the way, looks like we can't power fans from the PSU.

    *NOTICE* If the fan is broken or the fan's RPM cannot be measure,
the device will not start.

Controller:
    Raspberry Pi (version B or B+)
    Raspberrt Pi 2 is not supported yet.
    Each RPi can control approximate 60 devices.

[QuintLeo]

There are adapters that allow for power from the PS while maintaining the tach/PWM control of the fan.
Alternatively, it's not hard to wire up your own, if you know what you're doing.

They should get to kilo17 this Friday hold some coins. To be ready.

Note I am on a crappy tablet so post looks screwy.

I will clean it up.

I have had cancels so we have three names for three units.  Please post if I missed you and you want in.

[bigredbutton]

I would like to be considered for a Avalon6, not sure if my initial request made it through to anyone.

One for right now. If the 6 proves as solid as the 4.1 I will most likely purchase another one. 

[kaltar]

I`m not trolling but why would you buy one of these units . ? aside from getting them it 1-2 weeks earlier than the competion.
it`s slower, more expensive and uses more power. aside from being a new different toy. am i missing something .?

You are not missing something, pretty much another toy :p

But, if it can underclock like people suspect, its my understanding that it will give a better GH/W ratio. Making it more sustainable over time.
