Interesting but I don't really see this being profitable, $888 for 6 Th/S isn't really all that good and for everyone with electric over .09 cents/KW this thing isn't profitable enough to even break even on the miner, then factor in rising difficulty and its really a total loss for most people. It's not like you can really resell this for much after, look at the S5 its selling for like $40 now.

Can't look at it per-miner. Gotta look at farm income. Give the age of miners I have running most are long ago paid off and making BTC for upgrades. Even the latest s9 b18 I bought will paid for by the entire farm in another 7 days.

Now, if starting from ground-zero with these, ja would be rough but I'd still take the risk.

For me running 18x s7's (and 9x s9's) it is a good upgrade value for the s7's I have running. Almost 2x the speed vs uv/c s7's at same power per-miner.

Rare that I quote with pics but for this -- just gotta do it.

My benchmark is the s7's I have: The best ones, from batch 1 and 5 consistently average >5.3THs running 700MHz and pulling 1,350W. Using Sidehacks under volt/clock on most other s7's I have and running ~3.6 to 3.8THs they are pulling 930w. All using Bitmain PSU's btw.

So bottom line for me: As long as they are as reliable as my s7's have been, 6THs @ 900w? Count me in for a couple!

edit: As a side note, this rather sets a price point for Sidehacks 16nm project. How close the pricing should be, well, knowing Sidehacks work he *could* charge more if need be..

Unacceptable

900W is easy to pull off a 120VAC outlet too, which is nice.

If I can stay in stock of boards and Phil does a group buy, I'll do 8-cable DPS1200 kits for $75 for group buy members who need a PSU.

yeah I down with this. note 8 pcie jacks into 900 watts = 112.5 watts a jack.

months ago when they were designing this gear they asked for community suggestions .

I asked for more jacks to end cable meltdowns. They listened and followed my suggestion for this alone I will get some .

Are they cheap no they are not. But cheap would only start a price war.

I rather this price but maybe a little better watts per gh.

I can run 3 with ease on my dual dps 2000 4k boards.

I think my first order will be for 2.

If there is a Moq of 10 I will do a group buy like I did last year.

I'm interested what the price would be for one with a group buy

I've been thinking Avalon was nearing a release. A few days ago their presence on CKpool (Canaan) jumped from 180THs to over 2PH..
Faboo!

So now maybe Bitmain will start to sort themselves out and offer a real warranty service and possibly reduce their prices Undecided

I always promised myself never to do another pre order after my BFL nightmares but considering Avalon are so well established and the delivery date is starting from 21st Nov I have stuck an order in for 2 X miners

Will post up some pics and do a mini review when they get delivered.

I've had at least 20 Avalon6 come through hosting (most are still here), with two bad boards total. In about half as much time I've had around 25 S9 come through hosting with 4 bad boards total. I'm honestly surprised it's not higher than that. They do cost more, but there's something to be said about reliability (and, you know, customer service when something does go wrong).

- 6THash @ 900W @ $888
- 0.15J/GHash or 150W/THash/s
- $0.15/GHash/s or .21BTC/THash/s

"Aluminum PCB" -> Presumably a MCPCB

72 A3212 Chips per miner -> 83GHash/s per chip -> Each chip is equivalent to an up-clocked Avalon 1.
