I was wondering, does anyone have a dead Avalon3 module (the 50 chip 290GH/s thing)?
I would like to get a heatsink off one and solder down some 1.5mm copper tubes into the fins and make a watercooling block out of them..


come to think of it, should ask this in the market place..

Something interesting to ordering if they give everyone the same quote it looks like 50 is the magic number: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12931603

Unit Cost:
For a group buy of moderate size they can do $1350/unit, raspberry pis included. We may get a small additional discount if we get a buttload of them (50+).

Shipping Cost:
If we get less than 50 units it will cost $50/unit (via UPS, ew),
If we get over 50 units they can ship via air freight. That's ~$20 a unit, and can get lower if we buy more. If we got 100 units (I know, it's a big ask), I've been told it goes down to $10 per unit.

I would like to be considered for a 6.1, not sure if my initial request made it through to anyone.



It did I just have had pm's and emails with a few cancels.

So when I got a little few time I started to review list.

I will get to my pc in about an hour and I prefer it to the tablet I am on at the moment.

I`m not trolling but why would you buy one of these units . ? aside from getting them it 1-2 weeks earlier than the competion.
it`s slower, more expensive and uses more power. aside from being a new different toy. am i missing something .?

You are not missing something, pretty much another toy :p

But, if it can underclock like people suspect, its my understanding that it will give a better GH/W ratio. Making it more sustainable over time.

 If it lets us do .18 watts via underclocking and downvolting it will be very decent gear.  the usefull life time gets extended by 3 to 6 months.





the avalon 6 will have a tough time beating my batch 2 unit from bitmaintech  .---------

It needs to be able to go to .18 watts

my two s-7's batch 1 and batch 2 -----------------the batch turns out to be a good deal for me.

the batch 2 is listed as freq 575 boards and does freq 606 quite well.

but bitmaintech does not sell a 4860gh version any more.

One for right now. If the 6 proves as solid as the 4.1 I will most likely purchase another one.

I will clean it up.

There are adapters that allow for power from the PS while maintaining the tach/PWM control of the fan.
Alternatively, it's not hard to wire up your own, if you know what you're doing.

Does anybody know approx how loud this will be compared to an Antminer S3?
S5/S7 loud at stock configuration, its an identically specified fan.


Some notes from the wiki by the way, looks like we can't power fans from the PSU.
Quote
    *NOTICE* If the fan is broken or the fan's RPM cannot be measure,
the device will not start.

Controller:
    Raspberry Pi (version B or B+)
    Raspberrt Pi 2 is not supported yet.
    Each RPi can control approximate 60 devices.

The entire back panel of lights on one of my Avalon 4.1 is all lite up and blinking in unison. ERR, WARN, TXD etc. solid and pulsing in unison. I took the unit apart and nothing appears out of the ordinary. Any recommendations on trouble shooting?
I'd start with power. That arrangement isn't on the wiki so it might be continually resetting over and over again.

Looks like other sites offering them at 1650 and they take PayPal

I may have to jump on that if its not much of a price diff

Got any links? Know anything about their reputability?

nvm, I see mybtcpool mentioned in the other thread...

Philip is correct, I am selling these from the ones that I have purchased for my farm and I am trying to help out people that do not want or need to purchase the MOQ of 10.  Also, I cannot afford to be making huge purchases for others when I am putting out the money up front.  I am not a business trying to resell them nor do I want to be.

All of these machines will be warrantied by BlockC in the US.  Philipma or I can also mail them out if you supply the label which may be the best way.  It will allow you to be in control of how fast it gets to you and if you want insurance on the package etc.

 Wink

Shipping to me from BlockC is $40 each and they are using 2 day shipping.
