Hmmmmmm,

Meaning?

A Daughter Board that is used for what? EDIT: I see you said it connects to the hash boards.  If this is the case, how would it be connected to the hash boards?

What Daughter Board would be compatible with it?  {I'm learning here}

Is this something similar to Raspberry?  I never was familiar with the Raspberry.  Never had one in my hands or used one.  I take it this is a means of having multiple S7's [Maybe 50 x S7's] connected to one device and being able to manage all 50 rigs from this one device?

The BB board is a cut down version of the standard off the shelf ARM Processor based board, doing the same job as the Rasberry used in other systems.

This then plugs into a Bitmain propriety interface board ( Called it a Daughter Board, but probably better named as an Interface Board) which has additional components to interface to the Hash Boards via the cables that you have also linked to, and also the Fans etc. Probably does more than just interfacing, but that is beyond my knowledge...

What is a BB board?  Is that a control board?  

Bitmain is selling BB boards, 18 pin (120mm) signal cables, fans, etc...

BB Boards:  https://www.bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020160105102242316JqapyMif0705


Looks like it's their cut down version of the Beagle Bone Black Board, but minus the Daughter Board with the connections to the Hash Boards etc.

Guys, can somebody tell me if Superflower Leadex 1300w Gold power supply is strong enough to run S7 batch 9 on stock settings?

Thx in advance

At low efficiency it should, with 0 overclock capacity, according to the stats on paper. I have seen very little real life data of how much power the B8+ consume, however.

A 60 amp 240 circuit is good for 3 S7 correct? Will it do 4?

60 amp on 240 is 10 S7~ But i'm guessing on a 60A circuit you'd stop at 48A which is 8 S7~

Received my shipment confirmation for 1 batch 9 today.  Purchased the B9 before the price drop so I received an e-mail letting me know that they would be shipping my B9 out on 04 January, earlier than the 20 Jan. date.


I thought  the Batch 9 is the price dropped version?  If it's before price drop then it's the Batch 8 version.  I paid for my batch 9s right after Xmas, still show status as unshipped.  Let's hope they ship it earlier than Jan 20th.  Would be a nice bonus.

Well both batch was dropped 150-200$ from what they were before this 2.85/2.4 price. It was after several big difficulty jump. So it could drop again in a bit because the difficulty is continuing to skyrocket.

why does pricing for latest S7 batch is lower compare to previous batch?

One reason is less hash rate than most earlier batches and earlier batches did not have the difficulty increase we have now and were not as close to block halving as we are now.  
The next reason is we are getting closer to block halving.  Yet, the price of bitcoin is staying pretty much the same.  
The final reason is the network difficulty increasing quite a bit continually.

Hence, the note from bitmain on their website:

"The price of bitcoin mining machines must be adjusted frequently according to many factors, including BTC/USD exchange rate, the network difficulty, and expected difficulty increase. Refund requests based on price changes cannot be honored."

How much are you making on kano pools daily avg. thinking about switching but what to make at less 0.032 btc daily.

I've started keeping up stats with rewards with the CKPool Monitor created by Zach.  The stats don't lie.  You see the stats in AMOUNT PER TH/s in each column.  I have not been at kano long enough for the 30 day and 60 day column to catch up with the 7 day and 14 day columns yet.  Which means the 30 day and 60 day columns have insufficient data at the moment.  Give it more time...

You'll notice the 14 day column average per TH/s is 0.00832183 BTC and the 7 day average is 0.00813792 BTC.  I gave the 14 day first because it's more sufficient data over a longer period.  Also, I have not had all of my hash added to the pool.  I actually took my hash away a couple of times and brought it back.  Both times was for about 24 hours.  YET, I still got paid while I was away when blocks were found.  I came back the moment a block was found.  I've determined it's best just to keep all your hash there during slow times and good times.

On NiceHash at the moment, one gets paid in PPS at a rate of .0047 per TH/s.  Now compare that to .00832183 over 2 weeks and .00813792 over the past week at kano.is

I have 104.5 TH/s pointed to CK/Kano Pool.  It was 94.5 TH/s but I pointed another 2 x S7's at the pool yesterday.  Also, I needed to add the data of the most recent block found at kano.is to the chart below.  I felt this was sufficient enough for now for you to get an idea.

The reason my payout for the last block was less than previous even though I had more hash is because the pool had increased in hash rate.  Also, the difficulty increased as well.

Thanks this paints a better picture for me if I should switch. Appreciated!
