Still have one S7 coupon, pm me if you are interested
September 29, 2015, 03:17:47 PM
Don't forget those coupons out there as they make it a even better deal now that the S7 is a tad lower.
Did you get coupons for buying S5+ or what? I don't have any. I bought nine (9) batch 1 S7's on 09/09/2015 and don't have coupons. Hopefully, it doesn't take too long to ship.

Things like this are only gonna keep happening and get worse since this is what happens in a monopoly market.

Every time I have had the Bitmain hangover from the party of ordering new equipment I always swear that I will never ever do it again....but here I find myself wondering why I did it ...again 
+1, this is killing me!

"Batch 1" @ 4.86 GH/s for $1823 USD
"Batch 2" @ 4.66 GH/s for $1585 USD
I'm sad to see they are only offering $65 USD refunds for people, this doesn't nearly come close to the difference they are charging, not to mention the long term effects of the missing hash.

This is sad ...
It was obvious from the beginning that next batch will be significantly cheaper... Never be in a hurry to buy first batch of BITMAIn equipment...
So how is efficency on the ones doing 4.66 is it using less electricity? Or is it same just getting lower performance.
And it's not a surprise they went down. I expect to see another decent drop in price with batch 3.
you mean batch 4?
there is already batch #3 for 1658.
I was mistaken I did not see that that was 3. I thought it was 1 still there. But you are right they have batch 2, and 3 running at once. Just speed difference between them and price.

there is already batch #3 for 1658, which could be delivered as late as Nov 8-9 (and as early as Oct 19, admittedly).
simple math shows that it is still slightly better to have had batch 1, providing that you got it with first couple of days of shipment and IF time distance between batch 1 and batch 3 is ~1 mo. PLUS, having it earlier certainly was worth something

Try this. Just once. Whenever you get an overwhelming urge to buy some mining gear, purchase the equivalent USD value of BTC on Coinbase (or your exchange of choice) and hodl.
This is becoming my strategy moving forward after buying 20 THs worth of PACMiC v3 and bailing on S5+ and S7 batch 1 purchases.
it remains to be seen if this strategy would be any better, but it might be.
buying pacmic 3 would be a good idea on day one, not right now when difficulty is bound to go higher and pacmic 3 is S5, NOT S7.

Doesn't this sound really familiar to the S3 debacle???

Efficiency remains the same as the Frequency / Hash Rate have reduced in step with the Power reduction.

Mining cost calculations:
Antminer S7 batch 1 - 1.6481481481 BTC/TH
Antminer S7 batch 3 - 1.4666666667 BTC/TH
Antminer S7 batch 2 (slow) - 1.4658798283 BTC/TH
Break-even cost forecast: maximum of 5.6 BTC for the 4.66 TH S7. Anything higher than that, at this ship date, is unlikely to break-even by the halving. Obsolete within 1 month of the halving at current BTC exchange rate and 10c per kWh.
I don't understand what Bitmain is thinking, but I believe it's something along the lines of "...Born every minute". Because this pricing has gotten absurd.

After waiting 3 days for their support to finally contact me regarding my unshipped order, I got this from them. 
Hi,
There will be 4.86th/s miners later, right now, only the 4.66th/s miner is in stock.
the power efficiency is the same for them, we'll try to ship out your miner with 4.86th/s directly.
if failed, we'll be sure to contact you in advance before shipping out the miner with lower hash rate.
Please wait for update patiently. Thanks.
What a crock. I did NOT buy a 4.66TH miner, and they got my money 3 weeks ago already.
