Now the money is free, and so the people will be
dhl says expected delivery end of day for batch 8....today....but no tracking other than arrived in ohio (im up north, across the border)....so yeah expected delivery my ass.  For people getting dhl shipping, remember you can pay your duties online at dhl my payment - otherwise - if im correct, they charge a flat 2.5% extra fee or something if you pay at the door.  I could be wrong but in any case its good to pay right away.  I dont advise checking the >leave at the door without signature option< as if the box is all messed up...But you can only pay once your countries customs has inspected the packet, and charges can be made.  I cant pay yet.  So...i'm guessing someone at Canada Customs is mining in his office with my s7 Tongue

I'll give you guys an update once its in, but I wont do anything to void the warranty, at least for a little while.

what do you mean by batch 6 fiasco?

Sorry, I was referring to the dramatic hash drop to 4.06 Th. I should have specified.

not a fiasco since it cost ~$1300-1350 (4.06BTC) at the time, but i can push mine to 650/4.3 Th.
most likely there will be NO overclocking potential for B8

When someone gets a batch 8, it would be much appreciated to hear one's opinion of the rig.

Thanks in advance.

This thread has gotten so full of off topic nonsense...  You have to search through pages of posts just to get current information about the S7.


This ^^^.   







Back on topic, new batch is coming out in Jan last I heard. I believe I'll go ahead and pull the trigger on that batch if they don't pull a batch 6 fiasco on us.

I see, sounds like the same setup as it would be here. To be clear, you already have a 200A service, and are adding 400A more for a total of 600A 240V at your house? Awesome if so!

That is correct [400 added to existing 200 = 600 amps].  May end up having to get current transformer to measure power usage.  Which will be extra costs.  I will find that out when an engineer from the power company calls me to set up an appointment and arrives at the house to see what I'm wanting.

EDIT:  Just got off the phone with an engineer.  They talk like someone will be out here between now and Monday (December 14) to have a look to see what will need to be done to get the power I need to the house.

EDIT #2:  I will probably have to disconnect and hide my rigs for a while when the work begins to keep the electrical inspectors eyes off of my S7's because they are not UL listed, unfortunately.  Then bring them out of hiding to hook them back up once the inspections are over with.

yes, i have already found and posted in the kano thread.
i like the transparency of the admins and have been hashing there for the last 3 days.
I had to bring my miners down for few hours today for my electrician to install another 90amps.
will be online in kanoi.is in a couple of hours - new blocks pls wait for me :-)

Sounds great!  Hope it goes smoothly for you with the upgrade.

I'm actually waiting for the power company to call me this week to add another 400 amps to my house.  I've found out now they will foot the bill for installing a larger underground feeder cable and larger transformer [Providing I use the power I'm asking for].  If I don't use the power I'm asking for [But I will] they will back charge me for the materials and labor costs invested in the upgrade.  I hope to have the upgrade completed before Christmas time.  Keep your fingers crossed.

Thanks for the answer earlier!!!   And Congrats on the NEW Power. 

Sure, however, I don't have it yet.  I've called the power company several times over the past 5 weeks.  They finally have a work order generated and sent it to the engineering department.  Now I'm waiting for someone from engineering to call me to set up an appointment to come out and see what I want to accomplish.

Sorry I missed helping out on Kano/CKPool forum.  It looks like someone else was able to assist you though.

Are they replacing your main service, or adding a second 400A service? I'm only allowed 1 service per building here.

I'm only allowed one meter at my house.  I'm getting electricians to add two more 200 amp Main Service Panels, a quick disconnect for both of the new 200 amp main service panels that can be shut off manually and by the smoke/fire alarm system.  The entire upgrade will cost me close to $5,000 with a new meter, distribution panel, two main service panels, quick disconnects, wire, labor, etc...

The last part is totally unclear. Why registering should make any difference whatsoever? I don't like registering on a principle basis as it is just adding a way to hack it.

I can see your concern there.  However, if one wants to see the stats, etc... on the pool on their browser, they need an account [If I'm not mistaken].  If that's not important to you, then don't worry with registering.  If you change your mind later on and decide to register, I believe you will have to start over again with your 500N time on the new account created.  I may be wrong about this but I believe it's correct.

EDIT:  It's very important to "register" (create account) with kano.is when you first start instead of using only a bitcoin address.  This way you get to take advantage of all services offered by the pool and you will not have to start over with your 500 N time when switching from mining to bitcoin address to a registered account.
