Batch 4 and 5 are sold out.

lasted just a couple of days.
anyway, my B4 order finally 'turned green'.

Interestingly, S7 batch 6 went from 162 to 145 chips (144? as 145 cannot be divided by 3-weird)

So the price difference between the 4.86TH and the 4.66TH was about $100.  Now they're selling this crap unit at 4.05TH for only $120 less than the 4.66TH?  WTF?  Looks like their greed is increasing and hash rate is decreasing.

'The right to privacy matters'
Here's my take on batch 6.

It's still 3 Boards but with a reduced chip count / Board. I think they have made a mistake and it will not be 145 Chips but 144.

Which means that each board reduces from 18 Tripple Nodes to 16 Tripple Nodes. Also the voltage range is now a more sensible 11.6V to 13.0V rather than the very tight must not be less than 12V.


I would call it a Design Correction. We have seen from the very tight voltage spec on the original S7 followed by batches at reduced hash rates that they were having manufacturing problems. This is a more permanent fix that with a 12V supply increases the Core Voltage from 0.66V to 0.75V and should allow reliable running at 600MHz and also I would think some overclocking.

What is uncertain at this point is if they are able to select BM1385 Chips and continue with the 4.86TH Design or if we will see all production move to the 4.05TH Batch 6 style?

the 11.6 gets my attention

when I did testing on batch 1  I was able to go to 11.7 save about 50-80 watts.  But anything under 11.7 even if I underclocked and the unit would go to

--------------    vs 00000000

Now that they spec 11.7 vs a spec of 12  I think it may go down to  11 and say 3000 gh  maybe doing .2 watts

All spec but I have the right psu to test it with a 1500 watter that drops to10 volts if desired.

I may order a batch 6.

another thing batch 4 - 4660th 1160w 0.2489j/gh
batch 6 - 4050th 1042w 0.2572j/gh that's a 3.33% difference even without the "+10%"

also the rated voltage changed: Rated Voltage: 11.60 ~ 13.00V
batches before were rated with 12 and above

so +10% power efficiency may apply on 13V Huh?

also 145 chips doesn't split well across 3 mining boards!?
maybe there are only 144 Chips?

2. Power Consumption: 1042 W + 10% (at the wall, with APW3, 93% efficiency, 25C ambient temp)

3. Power Efficiency: 0.25 J/GH + 10% (at the wall, with APW3, 93% efficiency, 25°C ambient temp)

I am guessing this one is 0.275J/GH then.

They are selling it at a FIXED btc price of 4 btc.  So I would say they did not like today selling for USD amounts when jumping around.

I'm personally not a plan of the fixed rate.  Takes some of the skill/speculation out of it.

Batch 4 and 5 are sold out.


For Sale is
ANTMINER S7 BATCH 6

AntMiner S7 BATCH 6 with 4.05th/s is available to order. Shipping may start between Dec. 7 ~ Dec. 17 (if shipped out 5 days later than it, it won't be considered as delay ).

Chip quantity per unit: 145x BM1385
Rated Voltage: 11.60 ~ 13.00V
Dimensions: 301mm(L)*123mm(W)*155mm(H)



Interesting decision on their part... looks like still has 3 blades.  So were talking 9 PCIe + 1 controller.... for even less hash.  I was hoping to see a dual blade with this rumored version.

I'm guessing quality control was not working they kept having to check if each  hashboard ran at higher freq.  So I'm guessing they lowered it all and now they don't have to do as much quality control, and not having to sell higher and lower freq version.

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.

Same here.... Had 11 confirmations then order expired. Now showing over 67 confirmations and order status still says expired / unpaid after email with screenshots to webmaster. I would think they would honor these orders. If not, how to we get BTC back?

Just received an email that my previously expired order has been paid. Noticed that payment date and time is when they updated the order not when I paid which was over 14 hours ago. Hopefully, this won't delay shipment.

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.

Yes, it is quite a wild ride.  Not to say it won't have it's up's and down's (consolidation moves) while heading upward, cause it will definitely have those kind of moves on the way up.  We had similar moves like this on the way up in November, 2013.

BITMAIN should get these fixed, but it sometimes takes them a day to do it.  I've seen it happen ... every time they release a new product, and they've always fixed the expired orders.  Hold on to your transaction number and shoot it to them in a support ticket.  I know it's a headache, but it'll sort.
