Yifu totally screwed over batch 4 customers with his delays... 104 BTC... my unit has produced not even close to that amount. Im not happy at all.

Do you mean Batch 3?

My 4 module unit has generated BTC 55.3 until today

So yes, we are screwed. But not as much as the other (chip sales) customers Yifu screwed over

I wonder if he is ever going to set this right or just run with the money and live with bad karma

I see that YiFU has put the B3 4 module Avalon instock. But I am not going to buy one until the price comes down. Back when the where selling for 12 BTC the conversation to CAD was $1800, now that the conversation is about $1100 per BTC now, 3.5BTC for a 4 module Avalon new is too much money.

likewise the 3.5 BTC 4th module was 350USD

now the 1 btc 4th module is 1000USD

he either doesnt care or just doesnt care .

cash is king.

thx Con, i will be in touch!

Does anyone know if the Avalon PSU's auto switch to 240v, I don't see any switches on the back of them like the old PC PSU's had.

Worked fine here off 240V.

Cool thanks!

Depends on which PSU is in your unit. Most of the modern atx psu do auto change

Does anyone know the dimensions of a Avalon in foot and inches?

I am looking at putting mine into a colo and don't know what the measurements are off hand. Sad

Each batch has different dimensions.

My B1 and B2 are the same size.

Config needs to be updated with newer firmware - you can't choose save settings since the format has changed. This means you'll either have to change some settings and choose save and apply, but that might not work, or you have to reset to defaults which means you'll need to log in again on the 192.168.1.100 IP address and re-set up everything.

i tried latest update but could not get the rig to hash - reverted and it was all good.

equally my ISP brought a 'new' router today and while its in i hash fine with jupiter but avalons sit idle...

im now back on old router and alles ist gut

When you upgraded your Avalon to the latest version, did you save your configuration (checkbox)?

yes. i agree, latest firmware version is very stable. even on units on wifi. only cgminer needs reboot now. never machine..
been running all machines without reboot since last release.

cgminer restart from 2 to 5 days Tongue

The most important is that no reboot is required, so that I can be away for weeks without worrying about leaving it running at home

Same here been up since 21st August the day the firmware came out ( >90 Days) I set --avalon-auto and never touched it since, 111GH. Rock Solid.

What happens is something happens to the Wifi and you can't get back in?

I'll reset the Avalon to factory settings...

Thanks. That's what I figured. I looked at the modules to see if I could see a failed capacitor, but I was unable to find any noticeable signs of failure.

I assume that the numbers on the top correspond with the numbers of modules. So I figured the problem was at P14. I don't know how accurate that is. If that is the case, here's an album of that section. Maybe someone else can pick out an anomaly. I also took off that metal plate and looked to see if I could spot a burnt up ASIC chip.

EDIT: Also, sometimes [match_work_count14] => 0 will not be zero, implying that maybe it works sometimes. But the number is always magnitudes lower than the others.

Finally, it's been running for a couple days now on --avalon-auto without problem. So I haven't seen the red LED or any shutdowns.

I didn't notice any burnt caps in your photos either. It must be some other component with an intermittent problem.
I wouldn't worry about it for now as long as it keeps running. It wouldn't be worth the down-time to find the problem at this point in time.

Thanks for the reply. I don't know what's going on. Now one of the other modules (#8) is showing that it's doing about half the work as the others. My fear is that it's too hot. But thanks for looking.
