Would love to buy some s7s but the price of BTC cmo at buying. If prices where a lot better on BTC then I would sure buy at least 2 or more units and have a chance at making something on top but right now with markets prices and energy used am awaiting more improved version of this and better prices. Good luck to those who already buy as going to be a challenge to recover on RIO and gain more coin in return.

In short-much discussion about blocksize vs fees.
fees would affect us, no?
Very little. Right now the transaction fees in a block pale in comparison to the block reward of BTC25 (or even BTC12.5 come next year) - and even less so per-miner when it's spread out among miners in the pool that got the block.fees would affect us, no?
I'd be more 'worried', long-term (and that's measured in many years) about the concerns being raised regarding pools in general, ASICs, etc. with regard to centralization.
at the minimum, bitcoin core dev discussions re blocksize DID affect bitcoin price (check today, for instance) and hence are relevant to miners.

Sure do! I plugged it in quickly this morning and the unit evened out between 1190W and 1210W. That's the power going into the LEPA, so I suspect the actual miner is only taking about 90-92% of that, so about 1090W or so.
110v or 220v?
thx!
maybe the 1130watt is because of lower hash speed?! take a look here:

asicminer-shop.de sells it for €2200
antminerdistribution.com for €2379
hadsystems on ebay has 2 listings, one for €2279 and another for $2049. The second one is much cheaper but it does not ship to EU.

I suspect the scrypt market isn't big enough for Bitmain to be interested
They were interested at one point: https://www.bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020140830074550960Um75pnzg06E3Then.. poof: http://cryptomining-blog.com/4063-bitmain-cancelling-the-antminer-l1-scrypt-asic-miner/

Seems ants coming along nice and no doubt will see maybe s8 for Christmas 
or just after with the way things going. Wish bitmain would continue development with scrypt miners.

I suspect the scrypt market isn't big enough for Bitmain to be interested - I'm actually a bit supprised Innosilicon has expressed continued interest in scrypt.

Sidenote: Chelsea lost again...Mourinho is probably gone within a month if not sooner. Is he on strike or something?
Mourinho has to control his daughter now. It's a full time job.

How did you get a S7 if they are not shipped out yet ?

That Explains that thanks.

Time to answer some questions!
As for the ribbon cables, they look fairly short. I don't think you'd be able to reach an adjacent S7 with the included cables. But I'm sure some longer ribbon cables would be able to reach the controller from a foot or two away.
I took a video of the unit as well, just going to render it and upload it now. Should be up in less than an hour! (Slow internet ftw!)
Some images I took of the miner for those interested:

Can you try to run it with two PCIe connectors per board? It would be interesting to see if it needs all three.
The miner won't operate with two PCI-e connectors per board, according to Bitmain. See this image: https://i.imgur.com/OV3f8Ql.jpg - Read point #1Thanks in advance for the sneak peek!
Can you confirm that the controller has 9 18-pin jacks, the same as the S5+? There are a number of us interested in trying to control multiple S7s from a single S7 controller.
I assume that it's the same controller, given the pictures from Bitmain. But it would be nice to have actual confirmation from someone with an S7 in hand.
Also, how long are the controller ribbon cables? Any chance that they would reach to an adjacent S7 next to a center unit?
Note that there's there's already a separate thread around obtaining extra or longer ribbon cables:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/s7-controller-has-nine-18-pin-jacks-so-what-can-we-do-with-it-1173573
Confirming that the controller has 9x 18 pin connectors.

How is your power setup for the G1600 on the S7 each blade on its own 12v rail ? (For others reading this the lepa has 6 12v rails which makes this a little tricky set up)
I mentioned my power configuration before:I'm using the GPU/CPU/RAM rails on the LEPA to power the unit. I have four PCI-e connections on rail 12V5 (three connectors powering hashing boards and one powering the controller) and two connections on each of 12V3,12V4 and 12V6. So in total there are 10 PCI-e connectors on the miner and that's how I split them up.

hi..can be take a nice picture on your antminer 9 x 6pin conncetor with ur config cable to psu ?
because i plan using enermax 1500w psu and the plug out cable , each cable is have 2 x 6pin , the cable can be separate to another hashboard?

Here are some pictures of my power config:

https://i.imgur.com/XlJrHGE.jpg
But basically, every red ended cable coming out the LEPA has 2 PCI-e 6+2 pin connectors. I'm using 9 of those connectors to power hashing boards, and then the remaining PCI-e connector to power up the controller.

Ok..thanks ur information and picture. so i can use the enermax too .
And still Looking S7 Coupon.. anyone can be donate or sell cheaper ?
