Diff will cross 82 bill in 10 days.

I am a bit skeptical of this (and frankly hopeful that you are wrong).  I am hoping that last 10% increase doesn't mean a return to regular 10% (or larger) increases like we had in most of the first half of 2014.

I feel like with the increase in BTC price the price of the S7 is too high.  I mean it was probably too high before but now it's like clearly more than I would pay.  I want one more of these and I want it soon so it has time to work before the halving but at this price I just won't do it.

wow, my batch 7 shipped today !

edit : I belive they have noticed the high increase of diff and they have decided to ship them earlier.
Still isn't enough for them to ROI with this diff increase lately.

I had 3 orders shipped today as well.  Here is some information on one of the orders:

•Date: 2015-11-17 12:50:15 (All three orders were ordered on this day)
•Total: 5.214 BTC
•Payment method: Bitcoin Payment

Scheduled Delivery: Monday, 11/30/2015  UPS for all 3 orders

And checking again I have info for mine they come on dec 1st.

pretty fast since they are not due to be shipped until dec 7th.

they sold a huge amount of s-7's.  I wonder what the markup was.

Or should I say I wonder what the lowest price for them really is.

I think they could sell these as low as 700 usd and turn profit on them.

 They were able to keep the S-5 price at high levels I wonder if they can keep the s-7 above 1000. As a side note sales on hashnest have become slow.

They are listing cloud s-7 at 5.49 btc  which is  a lot more then a batch 8 s-7 it is not selling well.

Diff will cross 82 bill in 10 days.

And not burnt cable, but scorched 6 pin that I don't like to see. I think the prescribed method of having to power the hash boards then the controller is pretty damn stupid.

top notch chinese quality!!! Grin

at a minimum, you are not being fair.
all iphones are being manufactured in China as well-do you have complains about the quality of these?
I suggest to complain about particular cases, not unfairly generalizing, but, hey, say what you want, of course.

well he said he hot plugged his controllers he may have killed them off doing this.

The problem is the instructions can be interpreted to do just that.

My first thought was that would work if you had 2 psu's  I then said fuck that can't be right. I will plug every pcie cable then turn the  psu's on.  If the hash rate is fucked up I will reboot.

Much more sound to power up  the gear that way.


People need to start gathering more information before doing things like hot plugging live current into the controller. Arcing is never good.

It happen regularly that people think they need to unplug the controller, then power the boards then hot plug the controller. Its not what it says and since its indeed ambiguous, people should really ask before plugging something live. :S

It just mean in the case where there is a need to use multiple PSU, flip the switch to power the PSU that power the controller last/at the same time as the other PSU(s).

I have my multiple PSU on the same power bar anyways so when i want to power something multiple like this, i just flip the power bar's switch and done.

Multi PSU works just fine this way.

Also good way to do it.

Are you hot plugging the controllers?

Ie turning on the psu plugged into the hash boards with the controller unplugged?

Then plug in a hot pcie cable into your controller?

Yup Yup

Yeah that is how you scorched the controller jack.  You arc the d c power .

The instructions are written in a way that more then one person has done what you do.

Never never never never never do that.

1    Plug in all pcie jacks with psu turned off.

2.    Turn your psu or psu's on.
3.    Look at your hash rates if they look like shit  do a soft re boot via the system reboot  option.




I kinda thought it was fucked up? All the talk of stale hashboards and the instructions in the box, kind of read to do that... But that only accounts for the scorched pci-e connector, not so much on the controllers not booting on all of the Batch 5.

I did try before with all cables attached and it was the same. No nothing, led, ip, or fans.

sounds very unlikely...which PSU do you have? Did you install the jumper?
re burning PCIe by plugging into controller-that's just pure trolling as controller does not consume enough power to burn a PCIe cable.
You might have burned a connector (maybe!) if you inserted it backwards, but that's it.

maybe you needed consultation or read more about it before trying something.

Jumper? Can you explain?

Using AWP batch 2, which comes with 2 less pci-e which kind of sucks.

And not burnt cable, but scorched 6 pin that I don't like to see. I think the prescribed method of having to power the hash boards then the controller is pretty damn stupid.

what's AWP batch 2. Is this APW3 1600W or something else. If else, post what exactly is it.
maybe Bitmain's PSU does not need jumper (someone who uses it can confirm either way)-I was talking about ATX PSUs (like EVGA or Corsair).
prescribed method should be used ONLY if you use more than one PSU AND you connect boards and controller to unpowered PSUs, then switch PSU for boards first, THEN switch PSU for controller second-not attach controller LIVE while PSU is already powered, that's a bit reckless.
EDIT: also, are you on 220/240V? APW will not work on 110/120V

3 of S7 Batch 5 I received this week fail to start. The controller board makes no indications of power and no fans start.

Seems like an RMA to me.

And of course I burnt the hell out of one of my pci-e while plugging in one of the control boards. Don't like that at all. Going to RMA that as well.

Damn shame I say.
