Topic: ANTMINER S7 is available at bitmaintech.com with 4.86TH/s, 0.25J/GH - page 206. (Read 528055 times)

they will most likely ask you to send it back to them & declare it at USD 20 & won;t know the repair cost of timeframe till they receive it. but i hope for better results. sorry to hear baout that.

i think the culprit is more likely towards a bad psu ? or it could just be a few bad ones but all 3 dead not good & can't be that random ?

Ouch

Yup,  Here is a previous quote I did a few days ago:  "I was told my Bitmain to troubleshoot the issue on my 2 bad miners not hashing.  I tried changing fan settings and putting new fans on with no change.  One step was to take a good controller card from another miner and put it onto the bad miner to see if it is the controller card that is bad.  It showed the same results on the bad miner as the old controller did.   BUT when I returned the good controller, it too was now showing 48 ASICS and is now not hashing.  I now have 3 bad miners.  I have sent pics and all of this information back to Bitmain. I have asked to have 3 new machines sent to me.  I am wondering what they will determine." 

Since then I did some more testing with no results.  I mailed 9 Hashing boards and 3 control boards back to Bitmain Today.  It looks like 4-6 weeks of waiting for these three miners to be back in operation.  Sigh!   

back to topic?

23rd Nov shipping is batch 5 ... so batch 4 is on time not that much ahead IMO.

My Internet went down before i woke up this AM.

My S5s came back online when the internet came back up...but my S7 (batch 1) didn't. I can still see it when i check it thru my LAN. All the ASICs are there and have all 0's but there is no hashing. The fans are running too.

I rebooted. No change. I switched PSUs - still no change. I did a few reboots- no change. Then i reset it to factory settings- still no change. Finally, i called Bitmain in Denver. The tech guy used chrome remote desktop to look at my kernel log , miner status etc. Then he shh'd into my rig. He couldn't find a problem either.

So I will be contacting Bitmain to see what can be done.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I've had PayPricks lock my account years ago for something I sold and then the buyer said he never got it so they dipped right into my checking account and took the money. I fought it a few times and never won. I had to close my checking account because of them. A pain in the neck if your checking account is attached to anything. Never used paypal since then. Rarely anyone reads the TOS, but apparently they can take money right out of your accounts. I also switched banks too, since the bank just let it happen without notice. One of these days I want off the grid completely. And not because I'm doing anything illegal. I want to experience true freedom and privacy. Living in America you can't get that. Sounds odd, but it is true.

You have a point there.  Good thing I have 3 personal accounts and 1 business account.  I only transfer what funds that are needed for the account used with PayPal, grocery shopping etc...  I'm about to have very little in the bank at all come next year.  It's just a matter of time before the world economy goes to hell in a hay basket.  That's when we have a run on the banks.  I don't plan to be part of the one's running to the bank.   

i actually dont think you can be verified without a bank account..


also if you fight your CC paypal will lock your account.. you may not get it back.

I'm probably in the same boat. I find it hard to realize people are running these in a home. The noise alone would prohibit to run S7's in an apartment/condo at least in my state (NJ). I'd have my neighbors banging on the door at 10pm. Even after replacing my jet blasters (original S5 fans) with quieter fans I still hear that hummmmmmm throughout my house, regardless of which room I'm in. I do live in ranch style house, which is not a good scenario since internal walls do not have insulation. I did insulate with noise dampening insulation on the cheap. All my S5's are in one room with a single window air conditioner. Even when it is almost 50 degrees out (at night) and 60 degrees (in day) the S5 temps will increase to over 60-62, which I don't like to do. I do admit, if the jet blasters were installed I wouldn't need worry at all. I have to give congrats to the new guys who are running these S7's in their homes. I would imagine some really creative options with trying to suppress the noise. Eventually when temps go down to 40F and below consistently I won't need to bother with the temps at all until the spring, by which time home mining for me will be over. Kind of perfect timing really. I did always want to get some 4-5 inch air duct hose and expel all the heat right out the window, but could never figure out how to build it. Don't want to invest another $1 into that setup, so all choices of changing stuff around is not in the cards.

Good luck.

Is this real? Not just PSU?

If you read some history the RM series PSU's were faulty. Or at least a huge batch of them. This is why Corsair replaced all my RM1000's with HX1000's for free. If I can remember you needed to look/view the PSU serial number to make sure it wasn't a "defective" model. At least a place to start. This is why in the end I'm using Seasonic PSU's. Still using the HXi's, which are made by Seasonic. Good luck.

Woohoo my B4 shipped also!

I bought Batch2/4 just to save a little on BTC and power draw and it seems like the "slower" 4.66 batches always shipped out promptly.  My B2 shipped fast, was all Rev 1.4 boards, and performs amazingly well.

"ANTMINER BATCH 4 is with 4.66th/s hash rate and shipping may start from Nov. 23~Dec. 3"

Bitmain BEAT the estimated ship date by full week from the earliest estimate!  Go Bitmain!

Funny, I just heard about BitHappy from someone else today...

Nice to see OpenBazaar has been making progress, as they've been working on it for quite a while, correct?

The biggest problem with any of these 'ebay killers', and why there still aren't any, is that no one will list unless people come, and no one comes because there's nothing there.  Classic chicken/egg problem... The big advantage that either of these two have is being BTC focused, which hopefully drives the business ahead in an otherwise difficult space.

This looks interesting too: http://www.bithappy.co.uk/

I believe I will have to do as you advise with the bank account.  Could you give me an example of you may have went through to no longer give them free reign of your bank account?

Thanks for your input.

The answer to eBay and PayPal will be here soon:  https://blog.openbazaar.org

No. I just use the card to pay with. Since I removed my bank account from PayPal i have to request a check to remove funds for items sold. Takes just a few days longer. I will not give PayPal free reins to my bank account again.

Gracias Señor Moon.

So maybe we see some Batch 5's shipping soon too.

I bought some a month or so ago from him - they were fine, like I said, better than I could have made, but I built all my 3D printers, and they each had their own set of issues.


Totally agree - the whole eBay process is a nightmare, and it's worse if you're the seller because there are so many scammer buyers out there that know all the tricks.  But in general my experience has been that it's almost always favors the buyer.  Literally any time I've had an issue on there, it's always worked out for me in the end - but it typically was time consuming.  But to be honest, if something this cheap went sideways, I'd probably just write it off.
