Topic: Latest Avalon6 group buy thread. 600 usd Ends Monday 28th - page 2. (Read 6537 times)

yeah I and tired tonight  going to stop typing before I write something dumb.

the game can wear me out. sometimes.

check with ken/yan see if they can match. who knows they might match you have certainly helped sell plenty of miners for them that may not have ever been bought.

let me see promised times for bitmain.

5 days from payment


ANTMINER S7 BATCH 15 - Shipped out within 5 days BUY
ANTMINER S7 BATCH 15 - Shipped out within 5 days

AntMiner S7 BATCH 15 with 4.73th/s is available to order. Shipping out within 5 working days after full payment.

ahh I have been really busy with holidays and I have a lot to still do.

I can not see the sense in the avalon 6  when the s-7 is about 1.25 btc and the avalon 6 is about 1.45 btc.

I think holy scott was selling some avalon 6's at a one count.


https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.14314794


his deal is not quite as good  but  I can't see doing this group buy avalon 6 is  612 to 640 vs

500 with the s-7.

I need to sleep on this anyone looking to post ideas please do.

wow.. strategic timing I must say on their part.

let us know what the plan is or if the Avalon group buy turns into an s7 group buy.

Maybe run it by ken/yan see if they can in anyway match even if its only for this group buy. would rather give them my btc then those other people.

plus avalons seem to be block busters for kano. lol


what is the lead time on the current available units from bitmain? weeks? or same day like Avalon?

okay I like these units  but just now I have been sent 36 100 dollar bitmain tech coupons for s-7's

I can get 4 s-7s shipped to my house in NJ for 2000 usd.

this gives me a problem   the s-7 underclocked to 3800 gh  is pretty much as good as the avalon 6  in terms of noise levels

which if I get a good one maxes near

3800 gh.  So 500 for an s-7 or 600 for an avalon 6

I am thinking I may be forced to not do this group buy.
I am thinking that buying this s-7 and downclock to 3800 is better
then getting the avalon 6's

I am not sure what to do.

I also have 36 coupons for s-7's   

And bitmain sends me 100.00 coupon...I guess I will still hold tight till next round of hardware.

There are a couple sites you could buy btc from. Or if you have someone at home have them install teamviewer on the machine and install it on your machine/phone with you. Easy way to remote in quickly and then uninstall when done.

Might be good to have incase you want to gave the miners on different pools.  Like one on solo ck the other on kano.

Wow, I did not realize this. I already have a Pi with one A6 running, so I really only need the A6, four pin wire, usb/four pin adapter.
Any discount for not needing the Pi, wall wart, and usb cables? If not no problem, I can always find a use for another Pi.

I want to buy one but I am kind of screwed being that I am stuck out of town for my job and do not have access to my coins at the moment. I am currently in Indiana so I can't drop off cash. Any ideas how to get coins quickly?

I try to hold the coins as little as possible.
So I will say please send at btc addy xxx around 9 pm Sunday to about 3 pm Monday est

Then send all coins in 1 send to block_c btc addy.

It lowers the risk of a large btc price shift.

if you go to my profile  you will see this address.

Avalon6 Group Buy - 1BHKKrAh5oTacQnmjfACXjE9cGyFRR8rVD


So you want one unit and you are in Los Angles   that is going to be 600 + 12  I would send a pm to you   and say   612 usd is

1.45440010   please send that to   the group buy address    make sure to   use all numbers as the 0010 on the end  helps me track your payment

you would send that amount to the addy above make sure to go to my profile above  and realize it is my profile  and matches the address.

you sent the btc.  tell me the transaction id.     i make sure it is for the exact amount 1.45440010    every one else pays in say 10 units


come to 14.65000114 btc.


   I do a full send of the coin to block_c
 I send block_c all shipping info.

 Lets say 5 go to me for east coast shipping and 5 are drop shipped by block_c for west coast shipping and central usa shipping.

This makes it easy for yan from block_c to do his job and people get to do small 1 or 2 unit orders.  or 3 or 4 or 5 or more.

I used to test every unit at first but then I realized I should just test   over seas ones since usa sales can get replacement gear pretty easy.

But if they are going to Montreal, Finland or U.K.  knowing I sent a working unit is helpful.

right now I did about 50 units in 3 sales all the units were good but a wire or 2 was bad.  the four pin ones have a 4 % fail rate so far

2 bad and 50 good

so this being my first group buy using btc. how does the payment part work? come Monday you say pay me X btc and then we send that? used to paying in $ so sending/paying money early didn't matter.

yeah these miners can be touchy

I will sit out this round but I'd like to get at least 1 more Avalon 6, probably next round if Philip will do another group buy.

By the way, I figured out why my a6 was having problems, it was my old corsair rm1000 PSU, as soon as I replaced it with two server psu's, it stabilized and it's hashing at 3950 ghs. So, make sure you have a good power supply at least 1200 Watts, set your A6 at freq 500 and fan minimum 40, as suggested by philipma and others. Do not exceed voltage over 12.3, or your a6 will burn up. I had one of my Bitmain S7 go up in flames, it couldn't handle 12.8 volts, so it's normal for these miners to burn up if you overvolt it.

the stock fan is louder  they both move a lot of air well.

these come with

1 rasp pi  with programmed  sdcard
1 wall wart
2 usb cords
1 four pin wire
1 small adapter between usb and four pin wire

I will not include a sanyo ace fan  as I only have 3 left.

link for 1 case of them
http://www.amazon.com/Sanyo-Denki-SAN-Ace-120mm/dp/B00YOC80IO?

and link for 1 of them


http://www.amazon.com/Sanyo-Denki-SAN-Ace-120mm/dp/B00QWB1X3O/ref=sr_1_1?

There a difference between the fans other than noise?


Probably should have asked earlier but this buy includes all the stuff from the last group buy correct? pi/cables..etc

Now this group buy I am limited on the sanyo ace fans.  I have 3 left. let me see if amazon has them at a 1 case price like last time.



http://www.amazon.com/Sanyo-Denki-SAN-Ace-120mm/dp/B00YOC80IO?

they went from 98 to 138 for 20



or 12.95 for 1

 15 usd so 615.

that is center of USA  so block_c drop ships it to him.

if sidehack has room it should work.

you need to contact sidehack

as for other hosting sites ask jonnybravo0311 we  sent 2 units to Oregon for hosting .

what would the cost be to ship one unit to Sidehack for hosting?
Or are there other reliable hosting alternatives?

I'm in for 1 as well. Thanks
