Topic: ANTMINER S7 is available at bitmaintech.com with 4.86TH/s, 0.25J/GH - page 159. (Read 528055 times)

Great, I bought one yesterday, now I lost 0.874 which is great and I also have to pay higher VAT taxes (because I bought it when it was 1650, now it's 1300) when it arrives, great job Bitmain.

I got my batch 8 yesterday I didn't have any time for testing or disassembly.
I only hooked it online before leaving for trip, some observations: same kind of noise as batch 7 (which don't resonate so much anymore after some use), I didn't see any dc/dc converters inside atleast not S1 size, speed was 4.5-4.6Th/s with only 10min uptime, same room where I started batch 7 and temps were 47-50c inlet fan was 100rpm faster (less chips, coolers and restcriction for airflow?).

Obduction for miner tomorrow😊

Batch 7 is jumping a lot from pool to pool or reporting a lot higher or lower hashspeeds at pool side than at miner, any thoughts of this?

Sorry for the delay.  I've been doing a lot of math.

No, he is supposed to be here this coming week since he did not make it by this week.  When he sees what I have already, hears my plans and sees my invoice for what is on the way, I should have no problem getting a total of 600 amps...  Hopefully.  I'm looking at ultimately running approximately 116,700 watts (380 TH/s) of rigs, exhaust fans, etc... out of my house.  I will have 44,700 watts going when those 23 units arrive and I have the power upgraded.  I have to get quotes from different electrical contractors after I speak with the engineer.  I have 4 contractors on the ready just waiting for me to give them the go ahead to come out and have a look for a quote.  

I had one guy who came out and told me, "We charge a 'flat rate' of $5,000 for a 400 amp service."  I said to myself, "Well, this guy can take a hike."  He would want to charge more than this for 600.  Geez.  The guy never bothered to create an itemized list of costs in materials, etc.  I was still nice to him and he ended up allowing me to take a photo of the Senior Engineer's business card he had for my area.  It pays to be kind regardless.  That's how I got the ball rolling with the engineering department.

The power company has already said they would do the feeder cable and transformer at no charge providing I use the amount of power I say I'm going to use for at least 5 to 6 months [Which I am].  Otherwise, they would back charge me for the labor and materials used to upgrade my power.

It looks like I'm probably going to have all of this going before I play in several poker tournaments the end of January.  I've almost got my wife up to par on how to handle the rigs while I'm gone.  She's the greatest!!!

Sucks

It's like when I bought 2 Batch 1 in BTC.

I hope they grant you the new price

No more 162 chip versions confirmed. 

Damnit. I ordered a B8 yesterday for 4BTC. I have the worst luck.. Just emailed bitmain asking them to charge me 3.1 I stead and keep the 0.9 in my account to be used on my next order.

Dmwardjr, did the engineer come by and approve the upgrade?

I noticed.  I was probably the first one to buy.  I've been refreshing the webpage every 2 to 5 minutes since they were down.  The moment it came on line, I bought 23 of them.  I wish my other BTC was available on CoinBase so I could have bought more.  Oh well...

EDIT:  9 x S7's will have to sit on the sidelines until I get my power upgraded within the next two weeks.  That's if they arrive before my power is upgraded.

Batch 8 at fixed price

It could have been a DOS attack.  I know several pools and websites have had DOS attacks the last several days.

Go to this website and enter in your necessary data:  http://www.rapidtables.com/calc/electric/electricity-calculator.htm

I just ordered 2 of batch 8 yesterday. I received an email this morning they received my payment. Anyone know whats going on with the website, I'm a little sketched out?

Also on a side note can someone tell me what the monthly power bill for one of these S7s is?

It's down for me too.  Been down for several hours that I know of.

That's unfortunate, though 10 is all you need for an S7 (they actually work fine with only 7). My most recent order for these came about 3 weeks ago and those units still had 12 PCIe connectors.

Only issue I've had with it was a dying PSU. Other than that it's been running great.

Thanks for all the input guys! I'd be selling it in BTC so I don't think the USD/BTC price would make a massive difference.

For a model with that hashrate that's a good price (based on what you would have paid for it new from bitmain).  Provided of course it works well and doesn't have any weird issues.

EDIT: I should say though at current USD\BTC price (like $450\1BTC) it makes it a high $ price.

yeah, taking all these into account + the crazy diff increase that we will experience, it's still too much
