Status Update on my Batch #2 units:

All units are still running smoothly, cgminer hasn't restarted in over two days, and the last restart was performed by me to change the clock to 300MHz.  All units have been running below 50C on Temp3.  I have an A/C unit cooling them to bring the temps down to 45C.  Power consumption at 300MHz is floating around 600W for each unit.

The one unit that was giving me trouble (faulty TP-Link) has been running off my Raspberry Pi with no issues.  I'm even able to work and do some development on the RasPi, while the unit continues hashing away.  I wrapped a start-up script around cgminer to provide it with a YAML configuration file, and hook it into systemd, so it restarts instantly if it dies or the RasPi reboots.  I also developed my own web interface running on the Pi so I can monitor cgminer and a few other things.  The data on the web-interface auto-updates, which has been an amazing feature that LuCI running on the TP-Link seems to lack.
Glad you have sorted out those issues. Your WebUI seems nice stuff, do you plan to share it at some point? Smiley

May the WinTame Power be with you!

FYI Smiley
If you use cgminer's miner.php it has an auto update option which you can enable (that is shown in the top right corner)
It also has custom summary pages so you can design your own page contents.
It also has login security if you wish to enable it (and you can even allow limited access without security at the same time)
... among other things Smiley


That is interesting.  I may have to pull cgminer source to check this out (when my B3 arrives -- hopefully soon!)

Congratulations! When you've placed your order?

Feb 2

Don't congratulate me. I won't ever receive the unit, and if I do it will be damaged. One of the following things will happen:

Best case scenario: The unit gets here in 3-4 months and I pay 200% of the declared 1500$ value in taxes (customs corruption at EMS)
Second to worst case scenario: China is currently in a territorial dispute with the country I live in. I would not be surprised if EMS workers on either side intentionally damage the unit.
Worst case scenario: The unit gets here in 3-4 months, I have to pay 200% of the declared value in taxes AND it's unusably damaged. Then there's also a possibility it will just be stolen with them (customs or EMS workers) thinking its a computer.

It clearly says on my order "DHL". Here's hoping that my emails and support requests to avalon that i sent in don't fall on deaf ears Sad. Please dont ship my order via EMS. Wouldve had the unit before friday if it was shipped via DHL as requested ;(. Sigh. The most utterly depressing outcome for a 4 month wait of my entire life.

..

Avalon batch 2 with shipping number to no where for sale.

So much for the theory that Yifu holds grudges.

I try to be respectful and informed.

Got a Kill-a-Watt hooked up to a black Avalon.  Running at 282MHz, I see 577W @ 120V-AC.  That's quite a bit less than what's shown on the wiki (620W).  I'll measure the silver beast to compare after I've let the units marinade for awhile.

did you ever kill-a-watt the other unit? just curious Smiley

Order number's nothing to do in this batch, you'd rather ask about order/payment date/time. There are people with order # as high as 4xxx who got their units already.
