Topic: ANTMINER S7 is available at bitmaintech.com with 4.86TH/s, 0.25J/GH - page 37. (Read 528055 times)

I am still buying S7s right now.  My numbers are still showing that there is a return. 

I do have the belief that there will be an increase in BTC and a mild upward trend in difficulty over the next two months, then a dramatic downward trend after that due to more miners getting out of the business. 

We can make a bet: who will delivery miners first? Bitfury's 16nm or Bitmain's 16nm?? 

Just brought my first S7 online, colocated. and I'm happy with it.
The pricing is getting better and better

Could be that the majority of the Big buyers would get in early, and perhaps at better prices than on the website, and that we are as you describe mopping up the tail of smaller home miners with the ever decreasing price?


I think also the latest high difficulty increases will have caused a lot of older miners to be shut down, and we have yet to see real volumes of 14/16nm, so a period of flat difficulty might be on the cards?

And yet the hashrate seems to have stabilized since mid-Feb. despite several batches shipping... I'm guessing the lower prices are attracting smaller at-home miners, but big buys have slowed down.

That and it would take 118 ph/s to come online in difficulty period for a 10% increase now. I feel like we're entering into another flat diff. period like last year.

Batches are coming thick and fast Batch 14 is now up. Reduction in price to $602 from $637, ships out just a Week after Batch 13 from March 28th

Antpool killing.  4  Blocks in a row.  DAMNZZZZZZZZZZ.  Back to back.  What are the odds of that?

403436   16 minutes   514   5,779.20 BTC   AntPool   303.46
403435   21 minutes   1061   9,651.40 BTC   AntPool   482.62
403434   31 minutes   211   861.00 BTC   AntPool   603.89
403433   32 minutes   1919   14,391.75 BTC   AntPool   905.88

and then 2 others within 1hr.  CRAZY! 

Just received my 4 batch 12 s7's, arrived in 3 days flat.
Just finished testing all 4 and I couldn't be happier. Another 18TH/s for slushpool and classic blocks 

Free S7 here I come with a couple of blocks.  =)   Let's gamble.  =)  

P.S I love the fact that SLUSH gives their members the ability to vote for the size of the BLOCK.  Why would we want to hinder the Block size by 1MB?  That is simply insanity if you've noticed all the delay and increase in fees for transmission due to the smaller block size.  

UPDATE - HIT 2 BLOCKS!!!  WOOT!,
UPDATE # 2 - A Ton more blocks after that.  Thanks AriesV10 for the heads up.  WOOT!

your are correct my bad.  I will edit my comment.

I edited my post.

This isn't ANY pool. Leave them all off the thread unless they're actively giving away S7s for free.

   this is       kano pool




not slush.  they have 50 ph so leave them off this thread.


My apologies too much thread hopping

Just to let everyone know that does any RENTING.

Slush's has not had a block in over 17hours.  As you know this is rare for 50PH/s.  This might be a good time to send some Hashpower over there.

Because posting once a day raises your activity level and in turn gets you a higher "status" for signature campaigns...

meh I dont mind it

His post count is over 600. I'm sure he's just making a point in disconnected threads.
Besides, what's the point in raising post count? This isn't 1992.

Do you really need to spam all the threads you can with this new diff copy paste ? Looks like to me you're trying to jump your post count ...

digital coin is pretty profitable..
the reason its not on the top of the what to mine list is because its flawed.

digital coin goes hours in really low diff. about 200M or so.. during that time a s5 or s7 can get 100s of blocks.
then it shoots back up to 2.5B or so and then you dont get so many blocks.

its kind of a hold coin.. you can put it on bittrex but im holding mine to see what happens.

Digitalcoin is --->not<--- one of the coins I see frequently bettering BTC.

DGC gets to the top of the charts yes, but in little flash moments, then it will go rest down among the unprofitable coins. DGC's rapid movement is probably due to automated pump and dumps. You would be holding DGC for a far longer time, putting the DGC into an exchange with a sell order at a high amount, HOPING for another pump and dump to come along in which it would trigger your sell order and you become rich (rrrrright).  It's a good solution if you have the ability to wait - IE, not have to pay the electric or rent. However, it also puts you at greater risk for your stash of DGC to vanish due to an exchange hack, or a crooked exchange op claiming a hack, or hardware failure without a proper backup etc... Just look at Cryptsy, or the questionable happening currently at iSpace.co.uk .... a hardware crash without backup and mined coins went !poof!

Peercoin, Bitcoin and Mazacoin are usually in the top 5 coins, Its gets a little more fluid and muddy with number 4 and 5.

As I've said before, There is not one coin that remains consistently above BTC, its more or less a random rotation around BTC, but there is a definite select few that are in the rotation. Those are the coins I've been following by randomly timed noting their position within the top 5, of which I'll soon make a 1 month chart, then in the future a 2 mo, and 3 mo chart to show which coins are consistent more in rotation around BTC, then develop a "round robin" mining / investment approach.

BTC is no longer the most profitable. BTC, however, is the most consistent coin for short term mining, IE: mine today, cash out today. Where as the others are mine today, place the coins into cold storage or in an exchange with a sell order and wait till it rotates back above BTC's value - which does not take long usually less than 48hrs - automatically cashing out that coin for BTC which then is far easier to exchange for fiat. Not to mention more secure in my case because I only use one BTC exchange to convert to USD, where as the other coins have to be exchanged on many other exchanges.... why have your personal and banking data spread all around the world? Not to mention that I do not store ANY coins on the web, they are all mined then transfered to cold storage unless placed on an exchange with a sell order.

Its just a hair bit more work than set it and forget it BTC mining, but for a 10%, 15%.... 25% or more increase in profit over BTC, its worth the few extra mouse clicks.

Mining is profit investing now.... not just mine and cashing out.
