Avalon Miner 7-9 Series General Operation Tutorial (Raspberry Pi without Card)

This article is a general tutorial for the Avalon Miner 7-9 series (with the Raspberry Pi without a card). Please refer to the next article for the flashing tutorial for the Raspberry Pi with a card.

Before you start mining, you need to do some preparation. First, you need to confirm which mining pool to use. Currently, the mainstream mining pools in China include f2pool, Poolin, BTC.com, etc. This article takes f2pool (www.f2pool.com) as an example:

Step 1 Register a mining pool

Complete user registration on the official website of F2Pool www.f2pool.com;

Log in to the official website of the mining pool and you can see the mining address at the bottom of the homepage:

The F2Pool mining address includes the recommended address and the backup address. In order to ensure your mining income, the backup address can provide timely support when the recommended address fails to work properly.

Step 2 Set up the mining machine and Raspberry Pi

1. Mining machine connection and operation

1. Open the machine box

Contains a mining machine and a data cable (about 40CM long)

Note: You need to purchase AUC and Raspberry Pi by yourself. If you purchase 5 machines, you will get one AUC for free (the gifts are stacked in multiples of 5).
