Avalon A7 announced

[bitcoworld]

very interesting iam really thinking in try,
for now iam still on S9 and there need to be a
change soon

anybody experienced with openwrt implementation from avalon?

I'm trying to install openvpn on the image, but no luck so far..

I tried to get a wlan stick working on my rasp for my Avalon.. Anybody know what to change to get the wlan stick working on openwrt?

It is not supported. Wireless is not the way to go .

It is not supported. Wireless is not the way to go .

I was curious about this as well.
Is it not possible to use wireless?
Currently I'm using a wireless to Ethernet converter to plug it in.  Direct wireless would surely be an upgrade over using a converter box.

Anyone else having issues with support for the past 2 months?
I have a warranty claim from before Minerwarez popped up, and it hasn't been acknowledged.

Speaking of Minerwarez, they are not honest.
They claimed many orders were cancelled due to "fraud prevention".
I contacted my bank and they specifically stated they charged my card and there were no declines made.
They later refunded the order 2 days later and then put out the "fraud" email.

What they should have said was the truth, we didn't put a quantity limit on our orders and oversold, sorry, try again next time.
Or better, we don't have enough stock, but will send out a miner as soon as stock replenishes, would you like to wait or cancel?

I have been getting better support response from bitmain, the bar doesn't get much lower than that.

i bolded what to do as their software does not support wireless.

I know you may have very robust wifi,but many people don't so canaan.io simply avoids the issue by not supporting wifi.

for sha 256 asics
i rate

spondoooiles sp tech as best service
canaan.io
bitmain

sptech went bust

so for  me canaan has been a bit better then bitmain.

At this moment, everything is still available!

My order(#1248) has just been accepted and now I'm really happy with the shipping price. The shipping of 4 miners + 1 controller to Bulgaria(in the EU) is $266,06 and this is much much better than the $2000 price in the previous batch.

Now, I will just wait for a call from FedEx when my order come in the local customs to provide the needed documents.

I repeat:
At this moment(19:18 my local time), everything is still available!

SOOOOOOOOOO I tell the community they are available and you post "Spam" yet your telling the community its available in another thread??

You made whole new USELESSSSSSS thread! And YES, it was spam. The thread for AvalonMiner it here. The news about this miner are posted here, and no one needs a new thread just to tell us something, that in 20 minutes will not be accurate any more. This is called SPAM. If it was just a post in the current thread, it would not be a problem. But whole new thread, come on! Grow up!

By the way, can anyone tell me what is the temperature of the hot air coming out of the 741 miner?

[wavelengthsf]

By the way, can anyone tell me what is the temperature of the hot air coming out of the 741 miner?

Mine hover around 80C out, with the air in around 25C

[Thetaj]

Mine hover around 80C out, with the air in around 25C

here is mine avg 100 machines: 32 intake 84 exhaust

[Logan4el]

These are PCB and CHIP temperatures.  

[roserbezov]

Guys, I'm asking about the AIR temperature going out of the miner, not the chip temperature. It's impossible to be 80°C. If you walk close to the miner, you will get skin burn. Think about it.

[VRobb]

Go to the kitchen, get a thermometer, measure it, done! 

[WannaCry]

This is so cool. If I have all the resources and income, I will definitely spend it on Avalon A7 for bitcoin mining. I've also been hearing a lot of great things about bitcoin mining such as increasing financial stability for example.

[kartala]

Just started my 2 741's from minerwarez. They are brand new. For sure never used.
And less than 5 minutes after starting there was a block at kano. Hope those will be extremely lucky.

Happy mining.BTC

My miners are pushing out 100°F, you will not get a skin burn from this.
Intake is 50°F, room is set to 72°F.
I measured the 3 I have and all 3 gave me the same results.

Thanks! This will be very useful for me when I need to choose the best place for my 4 miners when I get them.

[alexcos20]

Phil,

I have used my meter to see the voltages coming out of the psu's and they are below the 12.53 which is a good thing, thanks for the heads up as always.

I also have them in a below 30c environment, trying to exhaust them out of the room they are currently in. Planning on using some duck to 10 inch flex to an exhaust fan. Hoping to keep the temps down in the room they are currently in.

i have the same problem, with 2 x Delta 2400, each powering one Avalon 741.

The first one has 12.6 on left board and 12.7 on right board.
The second one has 12.4 on left board and 12.5 on right board.

The goal is to have 2 deltas for 3 avalons.

Was kind of hard to insert the boards, i will swap them only if this is the last resort.

Shoud I be worry ?

[alexcos20]

Received mine today from Miner Warez. Took an unboxing video just in case I needed documentation.

Mine looks very much the same as philipma1957's video shows. Like jonlorusso mentioned, I also did not receive the information card and it was not sealed. I did get the two cables and converter as shown in philipma1957's video.

I did not notice any odd smells, however it does not smell like 'new' electronics. More neutral. Looking through the fan area is slightly dusty. More so from looking into it from the rear. Some of the capacitors and mounting brackets show an accumulation of dust/dirt. The silver fins (heat sinks?) look relatively clean. The outer shell is pretty much on par with the mentioned video. A few scratches and the label appears to be lifting a little around the corners.

This is my first purchase in the mining world. I was expecting it to be 'Brand New'. That is what I was paying for. This I would describe as 'used'. Possibly lightly used, but used all the same.

I also received the 1500 watt power supply kit from Parallelminer. These in comparison look 'new' and definitely have a 'new' electronics smell.

I will not be able to test the miner for a couple of days. Waiting on the rest of the Raspberry Pi parts to arrive, so I can make the controller.

I also paid with PayPal, so I'll see how the testing goes.

I almost forgot.

I ordered five 2400 watt delta psu s from parallel miners.

Eighty cables and breakout boards.

They cross wired one pcie cable.  Gear was almost cooked.

I caught it and no issues .

Check all your pcie cables from them to see if they were cross wired.

Can you elaborate more on "cross wired"?  Positive with negative?
I checked all my cables, the black ones are ok, the white ones are crosswired between pins. (left pin goes to middle and vice versa, right pin is ok)  - but this should be ok, it's just ground. Isn't it?

Update: the 12v are crossed between them, that shouldn't be a problem. Grounds are ok (left,sense,right).

my thread is pretty clear see link

[alexcos20]

finally started my two avalons.

But it seems that they only hash at around 5T each.

Tried with different pools, same result.
Tried with voltage offset, almost same result (-1 is a little lower).

Any thoughts?

Update: looking at https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/driver-avalon7.c, it's clear than some asics are not working.   I have only 66 asics on each avalon.   I will check the power cables, but each one is powered from it's own delta 2400W PSU.  Too much coincidence to have both PSU or both one pcie cable failed.
