Boy did I pick a bad day to buy or what ? *sighs*

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!   what a roller coaster ride.  Shocked

Some whale just dumped 40BTC on Cryptsy.... TANK goes the price ....

I'm hoping that the peeps manipulating the BTC market don't pull the plug just yet.... let it build a little bit more while I mine with these S7'd so I can get some more BTC for more S7's  Tongue

Come on now, 40btc is hardly a whale, just someone who is happy to cash out at $400.

40 BTC is more than I've ever seen.... ;-) and is a pretty good size hunk of beer n chicken wing money

Small issue with my last B4 order when BTC was at $492. Sent payment right away and it had 6 confirmations before the hour window was up. But my order expired, I did notice that the BTC is still at the address I sent payment to, usually payment address redirects BTCs to another address (to consolidate payments?). Sent an email to [email protected]. I know that BM always corrected such errors, but $120/BTC variance at current price. We will see how do they handle this order.

I am in exactly the same situation, also sent payment, also got confirmations, also shows expired.
They typically redirect after 2-3 or even 1 confirms...someone was asleep at the job?



Hopefully, BM will change order status to paid, it's been over 6 hours since I emailed.

Also if i add a Company VAT number with my friends company. Would they Discard the VAT totally? or just bill the company? . Heard different things from different sources
If they're like the UK you'd pay out the VAT and then claim it back in your next return. That is if you actually have the right to be using your friends VAT number, which it doesn't sound like you do.


One more thing; looked at one alternative site that ships within the EU
Assume any reseller to be generally nefarious, there aren't significant reseller margins provided by Bitmain and so these people can generally only make money off charging you more. And as history has taut us, warranties are sketchy at best through a reseller.

Interesting price adjustment from Bitmain.
Decided to do this again instead of buying an S7

Good luck everyone.

Yep looks like batch 5 might be out at:

Price:       1799 USD
               ( 3.82 BTC )

Sold Out

So that is crazy good price compared to other's.  Would not surprise me if they re-open at a higher rate in a day or so.

I would not be surprised either.  I really don't see this pump stopping anytime soon.  Yes, we will have our moments of consolidation.  But, it will continue going up.  I have my thoughts on how high it will go just before the halving [Where it will dump; then climb again after the halving].

care to share here or in speculation?

I'm with user100000 regarding "speculation."  He's located on tradingview.com.  Here's a link to his "space" on trading view:  https://www.tradingview.com/u/user100000/
Quite the wild ride sir.

If i would order five S7. To Sweden what is best to use : Fedex UPS or DHL ?

put them in your basket and choose each option. It will show which is the cheapest.

It also depends on area.  Mine UPS and Fedex work fine.  But I'm on the edge of the DHL's route so it's always drama and I drive to meet him or it's late.   

But for some DHL is amazing.  So I would base it off your other packages on what is best for you.  It really does very depending on your carrier.

Not sure if it will pay off, but couldn't resist a B4 for 3.557 shipped. Ordered 2 B5s yesterday for little over 4 BTC each. Hopefully, BTC price will go up or remain the same.

Indeed with the Value of of the BTC raising and Bitmain not raising the USD price... i'd say i'm conditionally revoking my comments that the S7 pricing is overpriced and broken. As long as the price of BTC stays over 350$ for a few months, they are now a great buy.



yeah but having to wait a month for them to ship from china.. you never know what the btc price will be around that time

For those who are interested in the fan noise of an S7.... I took a couple readings...

For reference, I have my S7's set up with 100% fan, I'm still a pretty firm believer of keeping electronics cool for the longevity of the investment. If anyone wants dB readings of different fan speeds, I can do that, just let me know. ( Maybe I'll put together a chart )

Measuring a single S7 B3 with 100% fan, also in the sound reading was the power supplies singing along but they were further back from the dB meter.

85dB at 1ft from the dB meter
75db at 3ft from the dB meter

~A~ weighting vs ~C~ weighting did not produce much diference. ~A~ was maybe 1-2 dB lower than ~C~ weighting

For reference:

Weakest sound heard   0dB
Whisper Quiet Library at 6'   30dB
Normal conversation at 3'   60-65dB
Telephone dial tone   80dB
City Traffic (inside car)   85dB
Train whistle at 500', Truck Traffic   90dB
Jackhammer at 50'   95dB

I Have a question: If i would buy from Sweden five Antminer S7. How much VAT would be added later on when it gets shipped? Say it cost 1799:- each Times five = 8995:- + VAT? = Huh


Customs "tull" In Sweden would then i presume add the value added tax and bill me within a month i guess... Anyone that has Experience with Buying form Bitmain before and can fill me in on this issue?

Also if i add a Company VAT number with my friends company. Would they Discard the VAT totally? or just bill the company? . Heard different things from different sources

One more thing; looked at one alternative site that ships within the EU, Called http://www.antminerdistribution.com/ . How reliable is that company? if even at all? they claim to Sell S7 overpriced in EUR with VAT included Antminer S7 – 4.86 TH/S – Batch 5
€1.914,- VAT excl./€2.316,- VAT incl.. How can one know if this is true?

They ship it out with correct value on it.  If you have a vat yes you will be charged a vat.  They will bill you not bitmain on the vat.

If you use a friends company vat number like you suggested you would be breaking the law I'm guessing of your country.  I would not personally go into breaking laws to save from vat.
