Disclosure: Avalon 6 provided by BlockC.co to review.
The Avalon 6 accustomed actual fast and secure. The aircraft gods were affectionate this time. BlockC.co alien the distinct assemblage bifold boxed which fabricated for a nice and defended miner. Being alien from the US additionally had the aftereffect of a faster address time and lower aircraft costs. The Avalon 6 like the Avalon 4 uses an RPi (Raspberry Pi) for the ambassador software. They accept a custom ascendancy panel, or you can use the best accustomed CGminer console as well.
Setting up basin and artisan advice is artlessly activity to the agreement panel. Same for arrangement settings and extensive the avant-garde settings. The card blueprint is accessible to use and yet still gives the options added accomplished miners need. In the avant-garde interface, you can get actual granular, and admission alarm speeds settings as well. The Avalon 6 overclocks nicely. The bifold console bankrupt adit architecture leaves some room, so the cooling is able-bodied admitting alone a distinct fan.
Frequency settings in the capital console acquiesce for an underclock from 100 to a max of 500 which is the absence setting. Added avant-garde users can SSH into the ascendancy software and adapt the abject CGMiner with 3rd affair firmware to acquire college freq. (Bitcoinist does not advance application 3rd affair firmware or overclocking do so at your risk). Due to the beneath close two lath architecture back the Avalon 6 overclocking it stays acknowledgment acceptance for added overhead.
Avalon 6 Large Scale Deployment Made Easy
Deployment with the Avalon 6 is a breeze due to the RPi ambassador and software. The added big account of the RPi ascendancy software is that is it can ascendancy 40 to 50 miners at once. This adeptness makes for easier ample abstracts centermost management. Instead of 50 arrangement cables, one for anniversary miner you alone charge one. This adeptness cuts bottomward on deployment costs. You affix anniversary miner to the abutting in this alternation alike eliminating the charge for USB hubs to administer them. Furthering abstracts centermost administration affluence is the abstracts centermost software that Avalon has to administer all the RPi controllers. The software helps you adviser uptime, change settings beyond the absolute abstracts center. Bitcoinist will be reviewing this software and its action shortly.
The Avalon 6 ability burning is solid as well. At an advertised 0.29 Watts/GH the Avalon 6 beats abounding of the accepted miners on the bazaar accessible for purchase. The Avalon 6 we activated was alone affairs at the bank an boilerplate of 1049 watts while assuming at 3.56 th/s solidly. The distinct fan operates in a cull arrangement aural the housing. This airflow adjustment allows for a bland airflow over the heatsinks and boards. The fan ascendancy software allows for you to set manually your acting to fan acceleration beginning and is actual effective. On absence settings, the fan runs at an boilerplate of 2100 rpm at a abstracts centermost acting of 55 F while putting out 55 dB at 4ft.
Updating the Avalon firmware is simple as well. The capital Avalon ascendancy console has absolute links to the DL site. Customer account is accomplished as able-bodied with BlockC.co administration abundant of it with common administration blow is minimized in case of failure. Build affection is top notch, and added absorption paid to the lath architecture acquiesce for a able-bodied unit.
The Avalon 6 is a solid footfall advanced from the Avalon 4. With Avalon/Canaan-Creative’s accord with BlockC.co for distribution, they are easier to access that the Avalon 4s were. The accomplished cooling and ability to assortment amount arrangement while acceptance for accessible deployment and administration makes it a acceptable buy. BitFury and Bitmain will be absolution new miners with abutting gen chips to the accessible anon but what you can buy now it is adamantine to exhausted the Avalon is aircraft now. Their abutting gen dent should additionally be a cut aloft if they accumulate activity like this. Avalon has appear a continued way advanced back Canaan-Creative has taken over the IP. That is a acceptable affair for the accomplished mining industry.
