Avalon Gen2&3 ASIC users thread

[ngzhang]

Here is a general thread for owners of Avalon Gen2 (A3255) and Avalon Gen3 ASIC (e.g. A3233) miners. 

On account of big difference between new MM (Miner manager) based Avalon Gen2 & Gen3 miners and old Gen1 miners, I decide to open a new user thread. 

For old Avalon Gen1 & Gen2 ASIC, Please refer to previous thread:

This thread is primarily for Avalon self-made miners,  but any other thrid-party clone miner users are still welcome.

I want to make my own clone whatvis the steps  and what is best PCB fab .
Thank you

It's nearly impossible to beat Chinese factory, give up please.

This. If you don't have your own chips, you'll never compete on price. Find a way to add value or novelty.

The honesty in that statement is refreshing!

Actually, even if you developed your own chips, compete on price is still a tough work.

Hi ngzhang,

where is my trade-in units? And where is my lancelot which have been sent to you?

[ngzhang]

Hi ngzhang,

where is my trade-in units? And where is my lancelot which have been sent to you?

All paid unit shipped. Others has been no responses our inquiry email.

All trade-in FPGA boards has been destroyed.

ngzhang, you're lying. We have tried to contact you so many times to your email. we have never been able to get a feed back. The 陈旭宜 guy has the records, but we do not receive a single miner at all.

It is not that important for me whether I have those miners now at all. But the feeling of being scammed is really bad. I have purchased the lancelot from the market at very high price, as we believe in your promise. I will bring this to public and aware people of this history whenever I see you post or speak.

The whole process is automatically finished by system, I manually checked all records, all inquiry mail has been sent at least 5 times. Do you think it's safe for me to consider these people abandoned their right?
Most of tradein customers paid and received their tradein units. As a result, I don't think this is our fault.

Furthermore, do you ask for compensate in this thread?

yep, will post some introduction first.

For new MM based avalon2 designs, we shipped ~10K gen2.5 modules until now, but most of them are in domestic.  Maybe this forum is not famous enough for Chinese users. 

After switch all sales tasks to ehash.com, I think I should put more time on this forum again.

Who knows how many FPGA you have shipped out. We include four persons, and none of them have received anything, or a single word from you.

Even those who have received your "trade-in" received it at very late time, when the gen-1 Avalon at the risk of losing money. You are a liar, ngzhang. Now for me it is already a shit to get your so called compensation, it is such a small money for me now. But I will never forget the emotional feeling of uncertainty and being scammed. You ignored our email asking about the trade-in. We even tried to call xiangfu to ask about the trade-in. You did not respond. You are so self centered.

You have cheated the community. You let people buy the batch 2 and batch 3, as well as chip pre-order. Then you let the wafers which has almost finished on the TSMC production line. Then you guys use some left wafers and chips to build your own mining farm, as you knew well that the batch 3 and chips will dilute your marketing share of the hashing speed. You have mined so greedy and let your batch 3 buyer suffer a lose.

We hate you, ngzhang.

P.S., where the YIFU is fucking around these days?

Yes,

A man you called self centered liar never sell a single units or chips to the market when it's at 30 times market prices compare to initial. .
A man you called self centered liar never setup his own mining farm.
A man you called self centered liar refused any bribe for queue jumping.
A man you called self centered liar gave up his life, working day and night, only 31 years old but already greying at the temples .

HorseRider, I know who are you. Anything you can do had no effect on the epic of Avalon project. We are one of the makers of Bitcoin history, and you're only a jerk.

haha,

Are you a masochism? You just did a detailed description for if Avalon project is operate by you right?  Don't forget to change the project name to Bitmain or Antminer or something like that please, you make me fell sick.

[RoadStress]

We are one of the makers of Bitcoin history, and you're only a jerk.

Yes you entered in Bitcoin history as having the first ASIC chips and miners, but unfortunately you also entered in Bitcoin history as the fastest fall after selling chips to a third party before your paying customers resulting in a more than 1 month delay which cut the profits by A LOT. Biggest upswing followed by the biggest downswing. Not even BFL managed to fall as fast as Avalon did. Grats!

I'm using the latest firmware but asic fan speeds up way too much. Before I could set max fan to 40% but now that is ignored. Any way to fix this? Over 40% is way too loud for me.

[Raize]

ngzhang, why did Yifu misinterpret the letter I sent thanking you for the work you did as a threat? Why did he set the price for my trade-ins in BTC after selling bulk coin down to $65/coin and then ignore my attempts via the customer portal or support system to try to mediate a better price?

For more info, check out my thread where I detailed every step:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=150324.msg1597453#msg1597453

I have nothing but respect for you and xiangfu, but I am very displeased with Yifu who I believe was the source of your problems.
