Topic: ANTMINER S7 is available at bitmaintech.com with 4.86TH/s, 0.25J/GH - page 244. (Read 528055 times)

Seems to be up to me just tried it.  Although they are out of most of the things on site.  Intersting thing is it shows 330 on BTC price... which is kinda a big deal once they do have a big miner again.

Those who bought at 230 per BTC compared to 330 BTC value.... that is going to make a group of people who ROI much faster as long as they dont raise the prices..

huh ... the bitmain site is down....  They are hashing so hard with our miners that they popped the internet fuse.

I wish I cared for something as much as you care about Bitmain's practice of following export laws. Why are you even posting in this thread? Go find a bridge to crawl under.

LOL that made me laugh  

I think it is amazing to go to work when you feel like it and spend time with your family when you feel like it.
It is the most important thing to me.

If you are able to do so, I highly recommend it. dmward is setup well.

I'm not kissing his ass either, stating facts. There are many people here who aren't hurting. Look at many of the people here who are doing alright.

But I don't think those things are really anyone's business. Someone's doxx, especially digs about financial doxx are not welcome.

I do however understand you needed to reply with something to make an impact, but you would be better served by using facts, or theories of substance.
I understand you saying you feel some people may not consider your feelings about bitmain by coming right behind you with a positive post about bitmain that had nothing to do with your post and you were making a subject regarding something negative.

It will be that way. There will be people who do not even have the product being discussed and didn't place an order who will have twice or 30 times more posts about the topic, and there will be people who make a point at how great things are, again maybe even totally contradicting your opinion. They may also talk about their great aunt's lemon pie. Someone else is always there to respond.

If you don't even try to notice you will see people who have an initial reaction of disagreeing with anything you say automatically. I'm sure you know one-uppers, someone who always has one newer whatever, well internet is x10. We are all pros doing research.

It is the content of your post. The actual meat of what you are trying to say which must not be at that low of a level in taste here. You can curse, talk about off topic crap, call someone out for a scam, in generally most anything except lowball personal attach kinda stuff.

Again, I am not taking up for anyone, I still feel there are people trying to make their voices heard about their personal experience who are shouted down by some other people when you cannot take away that persons personal experience, and I think that is where the frustration we saw come from.

None of it is worth fighting like that between ourselves, unless it is with **gie.

Whatsup with the Bitmain account showing up like a Cali skater saying
"Hows tha overclockin dudes?" "Did you wreck some shit yet or waahahahaat?"
 

You are correct, in that it went "up" from approximately $320 to $340 and stayed at $340 I believe for the remainder of it's time.  All prices were in USD.  It was at $320 but for a short time.

Because I know that in 2014, pretty much every miner that you bought resulted in a huge loss with the BTC decreasing and Difficulty increasing. So I am surprised that they increased the price of any miners, except the S1.

I remember the S2 was like $3000 and then a month later it was like $2000.

And those Scrypt Gridseed miners were worse I think. Like $3000 intro price and then like $300 a few months later.

they did from an absolute bottom of $320 to $340, I believe, but could be wrong (other # are from my orders, but this is from memory).

So it never increased in price only decreased?

If i remember correctly it was ~$424 or something like this first (Batch 1, before shipping), then went to $415 (batch 4, w/o coupon; coupon was $45, so after was $370), then $340 (batch 5, March 2015) and stayed there. It was always in $$, but i remember it also dipping to $320 or 340 at some point earlier (probably when bitcoin dipped to $175).

It went up/down in terms of US Dollars or BTC?

The S5 actually went up and down several times with the price of bitcoin going up and down.

Did Bitmain ever release a new batch at a higher price?

I think this is the first time (except for the S1) where the price has advanced since the introduction of the miner.

Here is just one link of many for those in the US:

In regards to returns, I'd declare full value if you are sending the full item(s) back.  If it is being parted out - for example a hashboard/controller it might be different and can be issued replacement cost as stated by manufacturer.
I'd also keep any and all correspondence if the manufacturer requests a specific value of declaration on a return.  Exports by individuals are not likely to be scrutinized as much as a company that does frequent export/importation - however you'd want to be able to show that the manufacturer is telling you the value and as such would be responsible for fraudulent claims in value that was noted.

sorry for the question but you feel all honest? bitmain really think that is honest? What you have before your eyes steaks? Who says it can not declare a lower price? so if the value of the miner drops, bitmain keeps the price to $ 1,658 because the customs are that price? do not make me laugh, paying bitcoin can declare just fine $ 350, and second-hand and sell it for the price I want. sure that you are very cute, congratulations, you see that you like you scrub the money,.
certainly when you send him an RMA for a defective part, he tells you to declare $ 15 right? so that bitmain pays nothing.
Wake up and open your eyes,.

People should stop caring what and how others run their business.
And I meant miners and such.

Not big companies like Britain that hose and slap their customers in the face openly...


Simple as that.

Agreed.  Falsification of export documents is considered a federal offense in the USA.
A fine of $10,000 and up to 5 years in prison can result in cases of willful falsification.
It may be ok for your friend or family to export to you and claim a different value, but just DON't expect legitimate companies that deal with export/import on a frequent basis to do this.
 

I think you need to chalk this up to jealousy that you can afford the hash rate you have and they probably are using stick miners making pennies a day.  I'm jealous of your hash, but only because of envy.  I don't hold anger at people who have more hash since you're buying it the same way I am.

To be fair you can't blame Bitmain (or any other miner company) for customs/import/vat fee.  That is something to blame the government doing it.  Luckily I'm in US we don't have it.  Some do have it really bad though on vat.

But just since you pay with BTC does not mean they should try to cheat on customs fee's.   A lot of people seem to think it's bitmains fault for not declaring lower value... they are just following the laws of the country.   

So the late shipment sure all them, but customs fees..... not their fault.  Using BTC does not mean they should dummy up paperwork.

Still no movement on my Oct 17 order.
Looks like some have later orders shipped.
