With BTC near or over $300

Congratz on all those that risked 2.1 BTC per Avalon 60 GH ($125 per btc at the time of auction)

You have attained ROI and now making good returns.

Mining has nothing to do with the price of BTC (except for electricity costs, if you have any) but with difficulty

Those who did not buy the Avalon but kept their BTC can go ahead and sell BTC today at over $300. Those with the Avalon will have to wait a few months and see if they can ever recover their BTC 2.1 and with a bit of luck they can sell it next year August at whatever price is valid then.

For those who bought a mini, how much BTC have you made back until now?

Too bad I have too much risk aversion when dealing with known criminals.

Well, that works a lot better. I'll have to play with it some more, 400 seems to be no issue but 425 is a no-go.

Has anyone use their Avalon to act as a WiFi to Wired bridge, and if so how did that work for running the rest of your mining hardware on it?

I have used my Avalon as a bridge. I connected my laptop via cable to the Avalon while in the basement, the Avalon via WiFi to the router upstairs. It worked fine, but I had to review netmasks and gateways a bit. I was able to Google for questions that bothered me so while setting up the lab.

I have not tried to run a second Avalon through the 1st.

Thanks, I'll look into it. I'm thinking about running a couple rPis off the Avalon running some BFL gear.

I got the cheapest atheros chip tplink wifi n router for €28. set it up as on dd-wrt (new firmware).
then you connect this as a client bridge connecting to your main router.
That way you can connect 5 avalons using tp-cable to the wifi-router, who in turn connects over wifi..
Sadly the wifi's on the avalons are not very stable when enabled.

What firmware do you have on them? I have one that does just that, even at a lowered speed and in 0C ambient.

ckolivas 08/21

I've been running with this firmware for a week at 400 with no problems.

He probably mined them for months before selling... No way he sold for a loss.

Considering how unstable they were with the stock firmware I doubt it, had several units that kept locking up and had to be hard reset, issues with hashrate dropping over time and web interface going unresponsive. This was all in the first 24h before I had time to reflash them with ckolivas latest firmware, after that they have been rock solid for 30h so far.

edit: Also, these things actually seems to have a bit of headroom. Been running 2 units at 390 for 2 hours without issues atm, next step 400!

I say no worries as you can get a decent Wifi 8dBi antenna if you shop around for very little. $8 CAD.

cba with wifi when they have a Ethernet port that works just fine.

He may not have "screwed" you,but almost every group buy for his 110nm chips got fucked...not screwed,big difference...by him not shipping in time or not at all & slow on the refunds for those chip buys & the batch 3 rig buyers got fucked too for the same reason................

Go ahead,send Y I FU BTC,he just made a nice little chunk on the price rise off your BTC Roll Eyes

Read this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/incoming-avalon-news-892013-269950

Y I FU,YOU ARE A PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!!!!!!

If he didn't sell the BTC at the close of the auction then it was his choice to hold them as an investment which could have also caused a loss if the market had crashed instead. Yes I was not happy with the unexplained delays with my batch #2 but they still turned a profit so I must give him some credit since it's far easier to risk money in a preorder than to bring an ASIC miner to market. I followed that thread I agree Yufi really fucked up batch 3 and bulk chips and has almost zero customer service but getting all worked up because people bought his very cheap and promptly delivered mini's is irrational. We decided to take a risk based on his past performance and the new terms of this in-hand auction via third-party and it paid off, simple as that.

They were a loss until you bought them, then he got to right off the rest.

WUT?

It's accounting you wouldn't understand.

O RLY? So then I assume by "right off the rest" you actually mean "write off"? Yes please explain to me this complicated accounting thingy where getting to deduct this loss against his income means it is not a loss. You must be one of those that thinks when somebody "writes off" a business lunch then it is somehow free (it's not).

Just to confirm with everyone about the power cable and antenna missing; this is the response I got back from Avalon Support:

---
Oct 23 8:38pm

Avalon Support replied
minis do not ship with antennas due to more issues with customs, power cables are not included.

What Yifu did was dishonorable and shameful. If you choose to do business with him, you are bringing shame on yourself for financially supporting such a person, regardless of how good of a deal you get.

Yufi would have done better mining with these himself so buying these did not support him financially.

I do not shop at Walmart because of their business practices but I dot not feel people that do bring shame on themselves. I also do not approve of how the oil industry operates but I must buy gas which I also feel does not bring shame upon myself. It is a free market which cares little of emotions and morals unfortunately.

Anybody that is pre-ordering magic money making machines must really realize there is a huge risk. Really think about what you are buying. If you are not ready to take the risk then you should not participate.
