Note that this version of cgminer miner is also NOT compatible with the 5-chip GridChip GC3355 ASIC miners! Have in mind that this version of cgminer 3.5.0 is compiled only for use for scrypt mining with the single chip DualMiner USB Scrypt ASIC devices, it will not work on video cards or other ASCI devices. This new version provides more up to date features and should be more stable and user friendly for use, but there is one important difference in the way you need to access your single chip Gridseed USB ASIC with the new cgminer 3.5.0. There is a newer version of cgminer 3.5.0 modified for use with with the single chip DualMiner USB Scrypt ASIC that we have compiled it for windows users and you can download it form the link below. That is a good thing for the whole mining industry.The DualMiner USB Scrypt ASICs using a single GridChip GC3355 processors do come with a modified version of cgminer 3.1.1 supporting the device, but this is already quite old version of the software. Avalon has come a long way forward since Canaan-Creative has taken over the IP. Their next gen chip should also be a cut above if they keep going like this. BitFury and Bitmain will be releasing new miners with next gen chips to the public soon but what you can buy now it is hard to beat the Avalon is shipping now. The excellent cooling and power to hash rate ratio while allowing for easy deployment and management makes it a good buy. With Avalon/Canaan-Creative’s deal with for distribution, they are easier to obtain that the Avalon 4s were. The Avalon 6 is a solid step forward from the Avalon 4. Build quality is top notch, and extra attention paid to the board design allow for a robust unit. Customer service is excellent as well with handling much of it with worldwide distribution downtime is minimized in case of failure. The main Avalon control panel has direct links to the DL site. Updating the Avalon firmware is simple as well. On default settings, the fan runs at an average of 2100 rpm at a data center temp of 55 F while putting out 55 dB at 4ft. The fan control software allows for you to set manually your temp to fan speed threshold and is very effective. This airflow method allows for a smooth airflow over the heatsinks and boards. The single fan operates in a pull system within the housing. The Avalon 6 we tested was only pulling at the wall an average of 1049 watts while performing at 3.56 th/s solidly. At an advertised 0.29 Watts/GH the Avalon 6 beats many of the current miners on the market available for purchase. The Avalon 6 power consumption is solid as well. Bitcoinist will be reviewing this software and its process shortly. The software helps you monitor uptime, change settings across the entire data center. Furthering data center management ease is the data center software that Avalon has to manage all the RPi controllers. You connect each miner to the next in this chain even eliminating the need for USB hubs to manage them. This ability cuts down on deployment costs. Instead of 50 network cables, one for each miner you only need one. This ability makes for easier large data center management. The other big benefit of the RPi control software is that is it can control 40 to 50 miners at once. Avalon 6 Large Scale Deployment Made Easyĭeployment with the Avalon 6 is a breeze due to the RPi controller and software. Due to the less dense two board design when the Avalon 6 overclocking it stays cooler allowing for more overhead. (Bitcoinist does not suggest using 3rd party firmware or overclocking do so at your risk). More advanced users can SSH into the control software and modify the base CGMiner with 3rd party firmware to accept higher freq. The dual panel closed tunnel design leaves some room, so the cooling is robust despite only a single fan.įrequency settings in the main panel allow for an underclock from 100 to a max of 500 which is the default setting. In the advanced interface, you can get very granular, and access clock speeds settings as well. The menu layout is easy to use and yet still gives the options more experienced miners need. Same for network settings and reaching the advanced settings. Setting up pool and worker info is simply going to the configuration panel. They have a custom control panel, or you can use the most familiar CGminer panel as well. The Avalon 6 like the Avalon 4 uses an RPi (Raspberry Pi) for the controller software. Being shipped from the US also had the effect of a faster ship time and lower shipping costs. shipped the single unit double boxed which made for a nice and secure miner. The Avalon 6 arrived very fast and secure. 570% up to 12 BTC + 300 Free Spins for new players & 1 BTC in bonuses every day, only at Wild.io.
