Avalons CAN NOT SCRYPT MINE

they can only mine Sha-256 algorithm based coins

Hello. I'm kinda new to these mining and stuff. I've been using my Gaming GPU for mining and i can't say i'm making good money out of it. And lately i looked for mining products. I've seen products that work on 300-600 GH/s. So what i want to know is;

Can these miners work with scrypt mining programs, can i mine LTC and other altcoins?

After some research i found that most of the Butterfly Lab deliveries don't make it to the buyer so i turned to Avalon ASIC and a product named "Avalon2 – New 2U Size Machine" took my interest. It generates ~300 GH/s if i mine LTC with that the calculation sites say that i would earn approx 1000$/day ( considering these products works with scrypt ). Is that really possible? BTC pools gives 26$/day with that speed

And one more thing i couldn't understand is how does difficulty works. If i buy that machine will the difficulty ramp up because i have higher speeds or does difficulty applies to the general pool not depending on my hardware. Because i read somewhere that scrypt changes difficulty according to your mining speed ( considering these products works with scrypt ) so there won't be people earning too much money.

I don't wanna look like someone who doesn't work for something and just excepts the answers to just drop, because these questions are things i have to search ( and i did maybe not for a big extent ) but i wanna kno some specific things so i can understand what am i doing before going into all of these.

Thanks.

glad i could rebuild some of that faith

It's been nuts lately.  On I knew was a risk and a couple of us tried anyways.  The other was a trusted seller on here.  .09 gone to that one and .13 or so gone total.
I could have used that towards a miner I am .15 short to buy.  I would have been happy with their products.  Now I see a lost opportunity and lose a bit more faith in people.
Last night you helped rebuild that faith though.
Thanks again.

i know i have been scammed a few times my self

I wish I could have tipped more but last week I got scammed badly on here. 
Now I can mine it back. 

Glad i could help you get the speed boost i got ya
and thanks for the tip

Thanks so much for the help.
I sent you a tip.  I do not have much but I appreciate your help immensely.
 
I am so happy right now.
The whole unit is running so much better.

Thanks for the help I sent you a PM for team viewer.

No I don't but I can get it if you give me a min?

If you want help i can help you do you have Teamviewer?

I cannot get it to connect at all.

I updated and all I get is this error.

I have had mine running on the one i built for the 110nm chip for a few days I did notice that running at Freq of 375 I got more HW errors but dropping down to 35 DRASTICALLY loweredmy error rate and with the new firmware i got a speed boost when running on CEX


If you want i will post the settings i run

How has it been running for you?
I am ready to try it but I wanted to see how it was doing for others for a bit first.
Have you seen any improvements and such?
What are the new features?

How does it work?
Does it give any improvements in performance and stability??

Did you miss the part where i offered firmware?

Admittedly it was blindly built, but one user tried it and it was fine.

Hi

With MultiMiner you setup a stratum proxy that will allow you to point the Avalon at the pool of your choice or possibly solo mine.  Ask on the MultiMiner thread as many people there can help you get going.
Plus as was said before if you check on the P2Pool threads you will get lots of help doing what you want as well.

What are you using P2Pool? If so ask in the P2Pool mining -> Pool forum for help.
