Topic: ANTMINER S7 is available at bitmaintech.com with 4.86TH/s, 0.25J/GH - page 220. (Read 528055 times)

For me when you click save and apply it updates the text in the conf file and restarts cgminer.
If I just want to restart cgminer I click save and apply without changing any text.
Sometimes when there is a problem that is all it needs, not a soft reboot.

Also, I've found with previous units that simply pressing "return" (enter) on your keyboard does not "save" the pool settings.  With previous units, I actually had to click "save & apply" in the bottom right hand corner of the miner configuration.  This may have changed with the S7.  I'm not certain of that.

Have you logged into that device with SSH at any point?  IIRC making changes to the config manually (via the shell) could make the web interface not save changes.  Let us know if that's something you've done.

Anyone experience a issue where changing the pool information is not saving?

Yes, you should be fine.  The only thing I would keep in mind for the future is if BITMAIN ever comes out with a rig or combination of rigs close to 1800 watts in the future.  Most people have 20 amp circuit breakers in their home on 12 AWG wiring.  However, electricians often install receptacles (outlets) rated at 15 amps instead of 20 amps in the walls of our home.  So, if you ever get a rig or a combination of rigs in the future close to 1800 watts, you may want to consider changing out the outlet from 15 amps to 20 amps on a 20 amps circuit to avoid over heating the outlet itself.

We often believe it's okay to take a 20 amp circuit breaker on 12 AWG wiring to 75% (1800 watts) while not realizing we are maxing out the outlet itself that is normally rated at 15 amps (1800 watts).  If we have a circuit with 12 AWG wire on a 20 amp breaker, we should not assume the outlets are also rated at 20 amps as well.  Such a mistake has the potential to create an electrical fire in the wall at the outlet itself instead of the wiring.  You will first notice this by seeing discoloration of the outlet.  For example: going from white to a beige color.  You will also notice the cord and the outlet are extremely hot to the touch.

I never got into fiber a whole lot.  I know just enough to get me in trouble.  LOL  My father knew a hell of a lot more about fiber than I did.  He's a retired Transmission Engineer from Bell South [Now AT&T].  I used to work for bell south but left there in 1994 to get into art (doing portraits of people in oil).  I got back into telephony in 1997 as a contractor to train telephone technicians.  

It sounds like most of your work has been at both ends instead of the middle.  Most of my knowledge is about the middle (providing maintenance for what connects both ends together for networking, voice, etc...).  Yes, I know a bit about the Central Office (CO) equipment.  I know a bit about carrier equipment [integrated (single ended) and universal (double ended)].  I know a little bit about switchs [5E, DMS, Stromberg, etc...].  

Most of my time has been involved with transmission trouble shooting on copper.  I teach basic electricity and how it applies to the local telephone loop; outside plant engineering design for POTS, ADSL, bonded ADSL, T1 lines with repeaters, HDSL with doublers, etc.  I teach noise mitigation, power influence (longitudinal current); how it radiates into the facility and can convert into noise (metallic current).  Longitudinal Balance testing.

I also teach Fault locating on copper wire with multi meters like the Dynatel 965-AMS and JDSU HST-3000.  I let them know what buttons to press to do what they need to do to identify the trouble and also what to do with the meter to locate the trouble [What should they expect to see electrically when they press a button; WHY should they expect to see that electrically and what is the meter doing on the inside to give them the electrical measurement.  Meaning, HOW does their meter measure voltage, current, resistance, capacitance for opens test, impedance, decibels, frequencies (that flow longitudinally and metallically), how a TDR (Time Domain Reflectometer) locates troubles when measuring time and impedance].  

I teach locating faults on the cable shield as well and not just individual conductors.  How the meter uses a modified version of the wheat stone bridge that's called an Anderson Bridge to locate high resistive shorts, grounds and crosses.  There are many things I teach in different classes ranging from 4-Days to 10-Days.

I owe my father a lot of the credit for the knowledge I have.  I wish I had listened to him a lot sooner in life than what I did.  I did learn quite a bit in the Marine Corp about meters but not specific to telephony meters.  I didn't gain that knowledge until I began working for Bell South.

Good to see another telephony guy on here as well.

Take care, Sir and may the blocks be with you.

Go for it with the additional PDU.  Do what you gotta do, within reason.

I hope to get it going soon as well.  First thing to get done will be adding more amps to my existing service.  All in time...

PoE can use only ~ 40W max IIRC, so you should still be well below the max of a 15A 120V circuit ( 1800W ).

Yeah all my lights are LED, only other thing is power ine Ethernet adapter

Usually a bedroom has it's own circuit. As long as you are not drawing more than 1500watts total in the room, you should be fine.

So if I have a s7 running off a bedroom power outlet am I capping the circuit? I don't think the bedroom has its own circuit on the breaker box

True, free is good   .I would to,  my bad for not thinking.

BTW, dmwardjr, inspired me the most , i learned a lot one day from him for a few hours . he was very cool about explaining a lot of stuff, i had no clue about, now, it's different, i know a lot. just form talking to him a year ago and knowing what to look for.

On my sub-panel I only had enough for 100 amps, so I went that direction. I have 250 amp service, so I was limited by that and my friend having a large roll of 10/2 that was free.

The runs are only twenty feet from the sub to the L630R's, so it won't be a huge issue to upgrade if it arises.


Ufo

why would they, if they can make all most as much at a lower speed and get a way with it.


Sorry, i feel that way but i feel they turned there back on us, all but the very rich, etc.
I'm not it to make a living but at least make back what i put into it then a little more for the next upgrades but jacking up the price.


cya

impressive set up you have but to be safe i would have use 8.2 wire over 10.2 who knows later on you may want to put in  40 amp or 50 amp breakers then you will have to change out the wire . Polly could have used less wire and saved some that way with two 50 amps but that's me I'm working on upgrading a few Script miners and holding off on the replacing my S5 to something better and buy a few more used S5, there is some nice deals on ebay atm,till next year , i refuse to pay bitmiains prices i fell it's,wrong, in the way there being greedy.

I know I lived in Texas a few years, 10 years ago and most of my family that is still a live , lives there now, all but one, he lives in GEO .They live Near fort worth Texas or in .I forget what city it may even be Fort worth, i used to live there .

Went to CostCo last night and it was 58 degrees outside, people were wearing farcking Parka's, seriously. I am not kidding, the fireplaces are already being used since they serve no real purpose outside of novelty.

When it gets below sixty it is like when Chicago hits the twenties, but in our defense everyone has jackets and want to use them when they can. I saw a kid at CostCo with an undershirt, Polo shirt, a sweater and a jacket.

I walk around in shorts until it gets in the forties since there is so much humidity you get wet and with the wind it's miserable.

One interesting thing people not in tropical or semi-tropical zones may not realize is that with high humidity in the winter, we have to run AC's to remove the humidity in the air. The heaters work to a degree, but it's not cold enough to keep them on long enough. I have my programmable thermostat set to 55 degrees in the house that runs while we are at work and school to pull the humidity out. It then changes to heat if it gets below 65 degrees, so no one complains. It's a real balancing act even with modern units, but alas I can golf 12 months of the year and swim in March.

More are coming that hope fully make these prices more reason able, I mean even at 4.05 th and  i don't care how much BTC are,  to me that was just a excuse for them to be greedy.  is to much and not that much less then it was when the S7 came out .The A6 @ 1600 US is over priced to but well pay it. guess the new trend is see how much they can get, screw the rest and one day charge the KNC price for out Dated gear.


Sure hope sidehack can get a nice price on a few batch of chips, i gladly pay 400 to 500 or even 700 US , for four of his boards at 4th and mount them on four heat sinks, i  have laying around and use a PI to  control it, i like that more because more can be done with a PI type controller over the built in pi type on S7 .


@ Ufo

We finally crossed the hump in South East Texas, average highs in the mid 70's and overnight lows in the 60's and 50's.


I hope that's the same in Maryland we had to turn the air on the other day, for Maryland that's unusually.I'm still walking around in shorts and short sleeve but usually have to use a coat, no coat yet,but stay in shorts til it hit 20 degrees out side.
