Is Avalon mining with customer hardware? Answer is here.

[Vicus]

Today I finally received my units from Feb. 2 order. One unit was almost clean, while other one is moderate dusty. After checking all connections and desoldering F1 fuse, I started to configure units. First unit has been tuned to ozco.in and that is not surprise, cos same config was on my unit from batch one. Second unit has more interesting config:

As you can see, first pool is eligius.st and most important is address: https://blockchain.info/address/1AYdAw8CcrQ2wx55LTbFHRn5bxgNZhaRLW?offset=0&filter=0
716.40851602 BTC was mined from April 22 by various units. And only gods know, how much was mined on ozco.in.
So, regardles what said Yifu, the answer is: YES, Team Avalon is mining with customer units.

PS: I'm don't have any problems with fact, that Avalon is mining with my units, if this is burn test and not introducing shipment delays.

thank you for information

this is really serious, I've thought that BFL was doing this, now AVALON just went to my red-zone as well, it seems that ASICMINER is the only honet company (but with extreme prices)

Some of the biggest payment are not newly generated coin. How to explain that?

Batch 1?

Honestly I feel these companies  that insist on "testing" on the main chain should donate all bitcoins mined to a charity/charities.
Especially in the case of Avalon and BFL where equipment is built on customers pre-order money and not from VC funding.

it would help raise bitcoin awareness even further and clients with overdue orders would be less annoyed and suspicious that the delays are purely profit driven.

Thanks for sharing.

Some of the transactions lead to this address: https://blockchain.info/address/18d3HV2bm94UyY4a9DrPfoZ17sXuiDQq2B
Even more received coins: 7,650 BTC ... mostly from newly generated coins.

Maybe this is some eligius.st-specific payout behavior?

honestly, this is not surprise for me and also most common cause of delays of any mining HW.) if you imagine, how much they can earn, if they delay 100 units for a 2 weeks for example..

hope that knc/metabank are professionals in this and really send device once they will test it (24hours)

hey, they're just making sure they get your money out of you first.

this is really serious, I've thought that BFL was doing this, now AVALON just went to my red-zone as well, it seems that ASICMINER is the only honet company (but with extreme prices)

Uh, ASICMiner also mines with their blades. They openly have a farm and continue to expand it.

Apparently, all three companies do this. Which is surprising coming from Avalon.

Probably only Yifu can answer this claim's? I doubt he will answer this though

Now what they are doing is it ethical? since all 3 are doing this .. hopes the new ones wouldn't

[Blue777]

not suprised at all.every company will test their machines.maybe one week,maybe few month,who know

[Wayne_Chang]

Can they finish the 'testing' before I can still make my money back?

[Xialla]

I'm not sure if they care about your money, if you already placed and paid the order.) usually, you don't have any lever or legal power to push them for ship it..

Things are getting not-so-good for batch #2, and quite ugly for batch #3. Hope they can speed up the shipping process or there will be a lot of people mining at a loss

It was something that everyone supposed. Now it is confirmed.
