This is not confirmed yet. Do you need to know any programming or how to code anything to setup an Avalon miner? Is it as easy as downloading the miner program and setting up a worker and ahead you go? Does anyone know what would go into setting one up, and what you need to know or BUT beforehand? Thanks.
well avalon has a sotware link dowlaode included so u will be minning n minutes
bfl dosent have a single asic unit running even for testing as of march 7 2013
but they were supose to have them in octomber 2012 delivered by the thausands
so how can u even hae a software for something that dosent even exist
after 10 months of promises ?
i hope that answers ur question

My favorite post of yours was the one about cooling the miners by leaving a refrigerator door open. I hate you - had to buy 23 mini fridges only to find out it wasn't making the room cooler
Sounds like there's something wrong with your fridges.
Fridges make it cooler inside the box by moving the heat to the outside.

Sounds like there's something wrong with your fridges. Listen up, last time we established that fridges dump heat through their power cable as load on the power plant.
Now, I don't want to hear no more of this "refrigerators don't work" cry baby nonsense. I think you UFO conspiracy nuts should leave physics alone.

The Avalon is wireless capable.
The Avalon needs to be connected to the internet at all times for mining, right? If you are connected to the Avalon using the Ethernet cable, how is is connected to the Internet at the same time? Is a switch/hub used? I mean the Avalon's have a fully working Ethernet port capable of a standard IP address via DHCP or static, right?

Basically its like this:
1) Avalon are slightly more technical to set up, some tweeking with the ethernet is required.(fair)
2) BFL is a much easier machine to get going on better technology(speculative)
3) GoblinAsic is possibly the best option out there are present, the highest Hash/Watt with a trivial plug-and-hash setup.(fairy tale nonsense)
But pretty much all three are essentially free money. Just plug them in and effortless money falls out.(silly)

Did I just see somebody try to "correct" one of Bonkers' posts
Guilty. I was bored. ...No I do not expect any lasting impact.
Come on now, I do make some pretty good posts.... At least one national magazine has picked up on my wisdom

Avalon is almost trivial to set up. Initially you need a computer to set it up but after that, even the computer is not needed. But... the firmware that is currently installed on it is still not stable with the few Avalon owners out there forced to regularly reboot it when it just stops. Of course with time this will be fixed, but as trivial as it is to set up, it's not a set-up-and-forget affair just yet...
When the BFL hardware eventually comes out, we plan to work very hard to make cgminer work very well on it and become reliable software to use quickly and to run stable for very long periods without intervention. However it will require a separate PC/laptop/tablet/phone or something to actually keep running it.

I can get around a command line pretty well and operate Linux pretty good. If that's all this machine is using then I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get by. What I'm really trying to figure out is how does cgminer or other pool programs recognize the unit? Is the unit hooked up to your computer via USB or Ethernet somehow? Just trying to learn how it connects and how the unit is administered. I saw the pictures, but was too hard to see the connections.
It connects directly to your network via an ethernet jack. You need to use another computer to remote into the device (SSH or webportal, IIRC), and then set it up for your network and pool credentials. After that, it connects to the pool directly and mines away. I would say that if a CLI or manually setting an IP scare you, then Avalon is not for you. Sounds like you could probably handle it, as it's not exactly rocket science. However, there are a few members on here who openly admit they are scared of a command prompt, and refuse to touch anything of the sort. They're more than happy to plug their Singles into a laptop, and run the Bitminter client. For those people: no, Avalon is not a good idea. Yea, sounds easy stuff to me. I thought I would need to know programming and all that crazy stuff. If I can setup a good usenet indexer via command line, this looks to be much easier. I wish I knew which to try and order from.
