I try to hold the coins as little as possible.
So I will say please send at btc addy xxx around 9 pm Sunday to about 3 pm Monday est

Then send all coins in 1 send to block_c btc addy.

It lowers the risk of a large btc price shift.

if you go to my profile  you will see this address.

Avalon6 Group Buy - 1BHKKrAh5oTacQnmjfACXjE9cGyFRR8rVD


So you want one unit and you are in Los Angles   that is going to be 600 + 12  I would send a pm to you   and say   612 usd is

1.45440010   please send that to   the group buy address    make sure to   use all numbers as the 0010 on the end  helps me track your payment

you would send that amount to the addy above make sure to go to my profile above  and realize it is my profile  and matches the address.

you sent the btc.  tell me the transaction id.     i make sure it is for the exact amount 1.45440010    every one else pays in say 10 units


come to 14.65000114 btc.


   I do a full send of the coin to block_c
 I send block_c all shipping info.

 Lets say 5 go to me for east coast shipping and 5 are drop shipped by block_c for west coast shipping and central usa shipping.

This makes it easy for yan from block_c to do his job and people get to do small 1 or 2 unit orders.  or 3 or 4 or 5 or more.

I used to test every unit at first but then I realized I should just test   over seas ones since usa sales can get replacement gear pretty easy.

But if they are going to Montreal, Finland or U.K.  knowing I sent a working unit is helpful.

right now I did about 50 units in 3 sales all the units were good but a wire or 2 was bad.  the four pin ones have a 4 % fail rate so far

2 bad and 50 good

I want to buy one but I am kind of screwed being that I am stuck out of town for my job and do not have access to my coins at the moment. I am currently in Indiana so I can't drop off cash. Any ideas how to get coins quickly?

[ZACHM]

these come with

1 rasp pi  with programmed  sdcard
1 wall wart
2 usb cords
1 four pin wire
1 small adapter between usb and four pin wire

Wow, I did not realize this. I already have a Pi with one A6 running, so I really only need the A6, four pin wire, usb/four pin adapter.
Any discount for not needing the Pi, wall wart, and usb cables? If not no problem, I can always find a use for another Pi.

Might be good to have incase you want to gave the miners on different pools.  Like one on solo ck the other on kano.

There are a couple sites you could buy btc from. Or if you have someone at home have them install teamviewer on the machine and install it on your machine/phone with you. Easy way to remote in quickly and then uninstall when done.

And bitmain sends me 100.00 coupon...I guess I will still hold tight till next round of hardware.

[philipma1957]

okay I like these units  but just now I have been sent 36 100 dollar bitmain tech coupons for s-7's

I can get 4 s-7s shipped to my house in NJ for 2000 usd.

this gives me a problem   the s-7 underclocked to 3800 gh  is pretty much as good as the avalon 6  in terms of noise levels

which if I get a good one maxes near

3800 gh.  So 500 for an s-7 or 600 for an avalon 6

I am thinking I may be forced to not do this group buy.
I am thinking that buying this s-7 and downclock to 3800 is better
then getting the avalon 6's

I am not sure what to do.

I also have 36 coupons for s-7's   

[Legacy2005]

wow.. strategic timing I must say on their part.

let us know what the plan is or if the Avalon group buy turns into an s7 group buy.

Maybe run it by ken/yan see if they can in anyway match even if its only for this group buy. would rather give them my btc then those other people.

plus avalons seem to be block busters for kano. lol


what is the lead time on the current available units from bitmain? weeks? or same day like Avalon?

let me see promised times for bitmain.

5 days from payment


ANTMINER S7 BATCH 15 - Shipped out within 5 days BUY
ANTMINER S7 BATCH 15 - Shipped out within 5 days

AntMiner S7 BATCH 15 with 4.73th/s is available to order. Shipping out within 5 working days after full payment.

ahh I have been really busy with holidays and I have a lot to still do.

I can not see the sense in the avalon 6  when the s-7 is about 1.25 btc and the avalon 6 is about 1.45 btc.

I think holy scott was selling some avalon 6's at a one count.


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1257327.msg14314794#msg14314794


his deal is not quite as good  but  I can't see doing this group buy avalon 6 is  612 to 640 vs

500 with the s-7.

I need to sleep on this anyone looking to post ideas please do.

[Legacy2005]

check with ken/yan see if they can match. who knows they might match you have certainly helped sell plenty of miners for them that may not have ever been bought.

yeah I and tired tonight  going to stop typing before I write something dumb.

the game can wear me out. sometimes.

Can the S7 really be as quiet as the A6 with a slight underclock to 3800ghs?

Those industrial fans seem impossible to silence.

[sloopy]

Phillip,

If you can make something happen please let me know either way.
I'd rather have an Avalon, but I can check for coupons as well

Thanks for trying Big Phil, but I know you have several different pies

Sloopy

[philipma1957]

The s-7 clocked down from 4700 rpm to 3500 rpm allows fans to be set pretty low

2800 rpm.

with a flex duct like this one

http://www.lowes.com/pd_481274-85334-MEA-1225-6___?productId=50401806&pl=1&Ntt=flex+duct

you can lower the noise a lot and direct the hot air out of the house

so 482 after coupon and 54 shipping is 536 the duct is 48  you are at 584

the avalon 6 is 600 + 12 = 612 at best

Frankly I no longer like bitmaintech since they never made up for my batch 1 dog machine  which runs 5 to 10% under hash.

but I have a lot of trouble selling the avalon 6 at a big  premium over the s-7.

612 -625 vs  536 after shipping and no duct

I think anyone that has shown interest on the thread can just contact me for a free s-7 coupon and I will put the group buy on hold.

I also received a message that there will be $115 coupons distributed on 4/1/16 if you bought S7's during a certain period or to be used instead of S5 redemption on Hashnest. This would make the gap even bigger.

Gonna be a struggle for me to choose, because on one hand I really dislike Bitmain, but that price is hard to beat.

and there is the problem that I think most of us are facing. we don't really want to support bitmain but they make it hard to buy anything else as they price the competition out of the market.

My question is why the sudden generosity from bitmain. They have always been stingy in the past with discounts unless you buy in the pallet load. are the ones their are currently selling from their farms and they are trying to use these coupons to move them faster?

I hate myself for it but I know ill get another s7 as that price cant be beat but Ill still look around for an single Avalon. I know holy has some.

holy scott does have some  in New York   not sure how many kits he has.

but you could pm him and ask.  for me I just can not see doing this group buy as much as I prefer avalon 6 over bitmaintech.

the market is going to be flooded with cheap s-7's which means bitmaintech will be adding something else to their farms.

[Legacy2005]

ya. which now causes me to think they are going to release something soon. get one last push in before they announce the new stock.

[HolyScott]

I lowered pricing on Avalon 6 units on my website to $625 which is $593 after coupon code. Again I am not selling the controller kits, as I do not have extras available. I have 5x units in NY. and can include the controller kit if someone wants to take all 5x Av6 units.
