There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

So far ... running 2 days now at 60GH with no problems. Went straight for the Ethernet configuration instead of the wireless.

It had an invoice attached with a customs declaration of $500/unit.
So they declared them higher than what they were sold for? Don't they realize this will result in extra costs for their customers who has to pay VAT on these units. They assumed they'd sell much higher, maybe they prefilled paperwork. |

Someone who lives locally to me sold me one of his auctioned units; I know he's on this site and is likely reading this, so far so good with the 60GH/s unit he sold me but I noticed in the cgminer log that it only uses 16 of the 24 work counters, I wonder if because he's said he's updated the firmware on this thing (I think) if it's reset the minercount to 24 from 16? Anyone has thoughts on this? I am mining using the wireless, no real issues. Looking forward though to getting a second one, hopefully.  |

called in some favors and got my hands on 5 units at 2,36 btc + vat.
PSU: Enermax 850w 80+gold modular.
Controller board and power distribution boards seems to be the same/very similar to my batch 3, you could potentially Frankenstein 2 of these into a 4 module one if you wanted to for some reason.

Got two of them and have to say they are fucking loud.
People please is there any option to reduce the fan noise ?
This really drives me horrible crazy.
--avalon-fan 20 for example does not work. the fan is at min around 2560RPM and still loud as shit. Temps are inside 46 - 49 °C Radius.
regards

You must have fans from the B1 avy's! My mini's fan is the same that is in the my B2 avy which is more quiet. |

Ok, So i opened the box today and they are missing the power cables, and the little wifi aerial thingy that sticks out the back end of the rig. Need to pop out now and see if i can pick a cable up quickly to make sure the unit itself actually works. I only bought two and the other i shipped out ASAP to a friend so can't confirm if this is the case for everyone or not. It is possible that the cables and wifi aerials were in the second box? You don't actually need the wifi aerial, it should still be able to pick up signal...there is just a little gold screw where you could fix one onto the rig. Other people confirm if these things are missing as you get yours in too please... WIFI AERIAL + POWER CABLE Dimensions of box 20 in x 14 in x 17 in Actual weight of 1 box 11.2 kg Dimensions of rig 16 x 9 x 6 Packaging was good with double ply boxes used. and lots of padding. The units themselves are black and have an industrial look and feel. A lot heavier than the Butterfly lab 60 gh units. I hear these Avalon ones can be overclocked to 85 gh/s so i am going to do that tonight. No instructions or manual included in the box.... Instructions to use: Connect your laptop to the eithernet port of the Avalon Setup your laptop IP address 192.168.0.101 Open http://192.168.0.100Make sure WR703N can access Internet, Configure WiFi: Network -> WIFI -> Scan(select your WIFI network) -> Join Network -> WPA passphrase -> Submit -> Save & Apply for connect to WIFI Internet setup your mining worker: Status -> Cgminer Configuration. Restart the cgminer service: System -> Startup, Check your avalon status: Status -> Cgminer Status Setup password/using ssh https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon#User_GuideIs the weight on this post corrrect?  It's like 25 lbs. Are they made from iron? |

As an engineer, I can confirm that is the primary criteria for material selection on any project. |

My mini's were delivered to US 6 days after close of auction and are running at around 58GH, pulling a little less than 1800w, and are just as loud as my overclocked batch #2's. A+ will definitely try their next auction.

How can we overclock these? They can go to 450mhz right? Right now I have two running at 60-62Gh at 375mhz. I would love to see them up to 75-80Gh.
These chips are already overlocked. The batch 1-3 Avalon's came with factory clock of 282mhz I believe. I was able to overclock my Batch #2's to 355mhz. These mini's are running at 375mhz. Yufi said 475mhz was the chip's limit but you might need a better board and definitely a better PSU to go past 375mhz. |

well most likely they sold these at a loss/no profit so you could call it revenge I guess? definitely a better PSU to go past 375mhz.
They barely pull 600w at the wall so there should be plenty of headroom with the psu that is already inside in them. |
