How much Phs does Avalon have for self-mining? Is Discus Fish ~ Avalon? Or Discus Fish ~ Bitmain?

F2pool has many miners both Avalon and bitmaintech gear miners there.

Avalon is called cannan or something like that . They have a big self mining group on Kano.is

F2pool has some very big miners that earn 2 blocks a day.

I do not know what they use to mine with.

Sometimes I get a good question in my PM's. In this case Cyper_BLC noticed some hashing boards on the internet showing 36 chips.

I want to thank Yan from BlockC for a very quick response. The Avalon 6 has 80 chips total or 40 per blade depending on how you like to look at it. This is the production model.

Any pictures of 36 chips on a board are actually from prototypes and not the production model. So there are pictures out there but do not fear you are getting the 80 chip version with your order.

Which is the best mining pool @ this moment?Antpool?i'm living in Belgium.
Thanks

This roughly shows by popularity - https://blockchain.info/pools . You can look at ones that are public and decide what kind of mining you want to do. There is a good amount of different pay's when it comes to payout.

But there are many good pages on this, and also the pools forum i suggest looking there. You can find a lot of good info from each forum and help support for them.

Slightly different topic while I'm waiting on my Avalon 6 to arrive. Anyone here have experience with Minergate? Is it even worth our time still to use CPU for mining with that technology to gain other Crypto currency and then convert back to Bitcoin?

This is really a forum for BTC and a device that mines BTC.

You have a valid question but this is not really the place (I would list a anwser it if was small but it varies greatly). But I suggest hitting up the altcoin's discussion forum. I can tell you CPU mining is dead. But the anwser overall is a lot bigger question/anwser.

Which frequentie are you using ?Mine is comming!Before i had the s5

I am using frequency 500 and fan speed 50

I am getting 3524 GH/s average after 2 1/2 hours, fan rpm 3210, temp 38 74 75, input voltage dropped to 11.8 from 11.9 when using 400 frq and 20 fan speed. I would say this is significantly quitter than S7, but not in a same room quite for longer period, I will be ok if it is running in the living room.

What PSU are you using right now? With voltage being 11.8-11.9 it is going to run slower.

Some PSU's are just better then others on input voltage. My EVGA 1300 is better then my Lighting 1300 when I was testing. And really those cheap dell 750 PSU's multiple people have reported good luck using two of them.

I am using Bitmain PSU at the moment until I get 2880W PSU board from Finksy, then it goes to sidehack. I just checked with multimeter, and it shows 11.9 V. Are you getting better hash rate at higher voltage?

Yes you are getting a lower hash rate with the 11.9V. I need to get a Server one sometime as it seems many have had good luck with more input voltage.

But right now I'm running a EVGA 1300 and it runs most of time right at 12. It varies a lot less then the lightning 1300 I had did.

For EC's not listed on the wiki you can use the lookup tool here http://downloads.canaan-creative.com/querystatus.html

Interesting - hadn't seen that before, but I looked at the page source and the Wiki has all the values it has plus more, is it's probably not a good reference to use.

The lookup tool has more than the wiki does, there are other codes that the wiki does not list but the lookup tool will display.

Lookup EC 1028 on both

copy my setting for ck's solo pool

use everything I used except put in your own btc address

solo.ckpool.org:3333

1JdC6Xg3ajT3rge3FgPNSYYFpmf53Vbtje

X

at times antpool and f2pool can be picky

see if it runs on ck pool

use freq 400

use fan 20

just try the one pool ck's solo pool

Strange, miner woke up and started working on ck pool but at 2880 GH average after 7 minutes.

Thanks philipma1957.

Did you try putting in a password into the two password fields for your pools?

good point you need a password like x or something of both f2pool and antpool will reject you. I use x with f2pool works well

I left the password field blank, probably that's why. I will try with x in the field later. Take a look at the picture below, did somebody hit a block on ck pool?

when in doubt ck solo pool is the best to accept your miner.

all Chinese pools can be cranky if you are outside of China.

kano's pool is pretty good for allowing a miner to work.

and remember the avalon 6 really likes 16 gauge quality cables so you could be doing the lower rates due to cables. next question what does it tell you for power in dc 11.8, 11.9 ,12.0 ,12.1 ? this miner is very power dependent 12.2 to 12.6 give much higher hash
