Hey guys,
i am reading this Board for quite a while, and now, i have a question and need your advice.
I want to buy a S7.
My local dealer has 2 Batches in Stock: B2 and B8 (please don´t ask my why)
As i don´t want to buy at Bitmine site (mostly because of the customs in Germany i think) i would like to buy one of the Batches.
He offers:
S7 B2: 1299?/$1411 (4,66TH/sec)
S7 B8: 1369?/$1487 (4,73TH/sec)
Is the B8 worth the higher price?
Is there anything where one is better than the other?
I read a lot about it but in the end i am a little undecided
I would really appreciate your Opinion.
Thank you in advance
Greetings
Mr. McSeth

The B2 would have more chips, and likely a little more efficiency. The B8 they have on a solid hashrate, but less chips and higher freq so lower efficiency. How does warranty work? That would factor in I would think on a B2 vs B8. But not sure with reseller.
Is there any reason you don't want to do bitmain? B8 and B9 is substantially less there, you would need a decent vat to make the difference.
I'd really go with Bitmain's at 900$ per unit, i have difficulty seeing 160% Markup because of VAT and duty. I also don't like the idea of dealing with a reseller for warranty purpose. However if the reseller is trully trustworthy, maybe he could effect some kind of decent "warranty" that does not deal with the manufacturer.
Is there maybe a German guy who as ordered direct at Bitmain and can tell me anything about VAT and duty?
Search did not get any results.
thanks guys
Back to Topic: So the B2 is slightly in to prefer?
You could email bitmain and see what they ship it as and look it up that way. Or best bet would be go over to the main S7 thread and ask about VAT. You get a lot more views in there and a better chance of an anwser.
But you get a new warranty, It should be cheaper then reseller. I would go with bitmain over that price. If it was sold as used and a lower price... then maybe but you know he's mining those machines on reseller and selling for a markup still. And buying off him you have no warranty it does not transfer.
