wtf....the firmware on these things is bloody shit! It is ridiculously slow...is that normal?? Like i click one page and sometimes it only loads halfway or takes at least 1 min.

what does the first step mean as well?
Setup your laptop IP address 192.168.0.101?Huh

Ok,

So i opened the box today and they are missing the power cables, and the little wifi aerial thingy that sticks out the back end of the rig. Need to pop out now and see if i can pick a cable up quickly to make sure the unit itself actually works.

I only bought two and the other i shipped out ASAP to a friend so can't confirm if this is the case for everyone or not. It is possible that the cables and wifi aerials were in the second box? You don't actually need the wifi aerial, it should still be able to pick up signal...there is just a little gold screw where you could fix one onto the rig.

Other people confirm if these things are missing as you get yours in too please... WIFI AERIAL + POWER CABLE


Dimensions of box
20 in x 14 in x 17 in

Actual weight of 1 box
11.2 kg

Dimensions of rig
16 x 9 x 6

Packaging was good with double ply boxes used. and lots of padding. The units themselves are black and have an industrial look and feel. A lot heavier than the Butterfly lab 60 gh units. I hear these Avalon ones can be overclocked to 85 gh/s so i am going to do that tonight.
No instructions or manual included in the box....

Instructions to use:

Connect your laptop to the eithernet port of the Avalon
Setup your laptop IP address 192.168.0.101
Open http://192.168.0.100
Make sure WR703N can access Internet, Configure WiFi: Network -> WIFI -> Scan(select your WIFI network) -> Join Network -> WPA passphrase -> Submit -> Save & Apply for connect to WIFI Internet
setup your mining worker: Status -> Cgminer Configuration.
Restart the cgminer service: System -> Startup,
Check your avalon status: Status -> Cgminer Status
Setup password/using ssh

I called them and they demanded some explanation that I bought it private, they needed to know whats inside and thats it. I called it special network hardware with SHA-256

A friend told me his exchange with DHL went about the same, they called him this morning and wanted to know what they contained and if he bought them for private use. The declared value on his 10 avalons was about 3500 usd (he paid 2,26 per unit) for anyone wondering what they might end up having to pay for VAT etc.

I talked with german customs today, because it is stuck right now. They need something that shows the value of the package. I only have thos stupid tradehill emails that anyone could have written. Also I don't know if they are able to look at the btc price on wednesday. I don't feel like paying todays course  Sad


Simply safe an ebay site auctioning an Avalon and then edit the price, print, send to customs.
They just want some paper to file, that's all.

Isn't that illegal?


Yes.

I spoke to dhl and they gave me a customs bill according to value declared by sender.
Did you call the DHL stadnard hotline, not the import department? What exactly did you ask them and what did they give you? Please clarify a bit, I'll call them tomorrow (they closed for today), thanks!

Mines held up at LAX customs for an undisclosed delay.
What is at LAX, 55 nm chips?
Why would you think that? I guess he has his avalon minis at LAX..
Yep. Nine of them.
