Does Bitmain have the NEW S9 fully developed and installed in their Farm?
When would they be releasing the S9 to the public?
Intriguing thoughts!
What are your thoughts?
BITMAIN, you are welcome to chime in.

BITMAIN, you are welcome to chime in.
im very sure they will release kind of s7+ first... maybe 10THs @ ~2000w to sell more BM1385´s
IMO they will release S8/S9 only when an competitioner like Bitfury is selling more efficient Chips.

This is how you clean up those Power Jumpers on modular PSUs...use modular plugs. It makes the job so much neater! Many thanks to PPOC for helping me test the modular jumpers on the EVGA G2 PSUs! I have a bunch of these modular plugs in different sizes for different brand PSUs if anyone is interested...
Hahh, i wouldnt mind a batch if they're cheap. But i see you jumped #2 and #4 for the EVGA. Isint the green wire pin #4? Because my jumpers are on #3+#4. I thought 3 and 5 was black. Is #2 a ground too?
The green wire is #4 on the Corsair PSUs but the EVGA has it's green wire on #2...
I do these at 0.01 BTC to cover what I spend in parts and shipping costs. Less for more pieces...PM if interested.
Very nice! Nice, simple and clean. PM Sent.

The pin out on the PSU side is different, in part so you need to buy the manufacturers cables vs. some generic.. I've always made these for myself, EVGAS, Corsair, Lepa, etc. (yes the pin outs are different across manufacturers) but never realized people might want some..
I actually wanted this a while back. The EVGA comes with the jumper now. They all do now. But i thought. Why didnt they make it female, so that you can plug it strait into the PSU? It would cost them exactly the same thing but it would be much cleaner.
Now i have about a dozen EVGA, the mobo trunk isint much of an issue but in OCD term, i wouldnt mind removing their "tails".
The OCD factor is why I started doing the jumper plugs directly into the modular PSUs...I could not stand having a bundle of cables everywhere just to jump two pins together. When I started finding the modular plugs I bought more than I needed because of bulk discounts. Then I realized that some of the makers used different sized modular plugs! It's been crazy...

They have over 27,000 btc just sitting in a btc addy.
That is over 10,000,000 in fact over 11,000,000 usd
https://blockchain.info/address/1KwA4fS4uVuCNjCtMivE7m5ATbv93UZg8V
but not enough to send me compensation of 150 usd for my batch 1 miner.
As for batch 11 shipping a few people said they had thier gear shipped.
I ordered 4 more machines despite not having fair compensation for batch 1.
I have ordered a total of 13 s-7's 11 after the bad batch 1 that I was never given compensation for. So my batch 11 are not shipped.
So I will ask the batch 11's shipped what day did you pay on? My orders were 2 days ago.

I placed my order for the Batch 11 on 2/17/16 and got the ship notice on the 24th...7 days.
Thank you I am only 2 or 3 days waiting I would guess maybe friday they ship.

Well hell. My batch 8 has developed a problem. It started beeping and I happened to be nearby so I checked out the GUI and the hashrate was slowly dropping to zero. I noticed that one hashboard said the temp was 96 and two of them said temp 0. So I rebooted through the GUI, it came up and started mining but the temps all say 0 now. I did a power cycle and same thing, all zeros. At least it is hashing though so that's good. It didn't overheat, it is sitting next to a couple other S7's and the temp where they are didn't get up past room temperature and the other machines are fine. When I power cycled it I did gently move it around to check for a loose heatsink but there wasn't anything detectable, plus I think those were mostly in earlier batches. But now all zeros on the temps. Lame.
EDIT: Looks like this was actually precipitated by a brief failover on the pool. I have seen these things get messed up on failover before but this is the first time I saw an issue develop that didn't get cured by a power cycle.

What are your fans set at?
Do you set them at manual?
50%. To 55 % is pretty good setting
Yeah I did that when I got them. Sixty percent.

i`ve add the same issus happens to me on a S4 and a S5, reflashing the machine ( even if it;s the same revision ) cured my problems both times, actually the s5 i had to flash 3 times. let it sit for a day than came back to life the next flashing. try it out.
Thanks for letting me know. I am a bit leary of flashing these machines actually based on previous posts on the matter where people bricked them. But that is good info and I will keep it in mind. Since it is mining ok and since I have other machines nearby that can give me an idea if the ambient temps in there are a problem I guess I will just live with it. I did take off the tick box to have it stop mining if temps go above 80 just in case the temp sensors start reporting something crazy again.

With that kind of money, you would expect better support. I'm hoping they will expand their US support center to handle faster replacements. I'm seeing far too many people waiting 3-6 weeks for replacement fix and the down time is way too costly. Support concerns are my biggest nightmare. The biggest issues I'm seeing with these S7s are the crappy HEAT sink connections, other than that, they run pretty well. You just have to monitor every box very closely which makes it harder to sleep at night as they can come loose at any time and overheat the box very quickly. I don't think I can make another huge investment on the next miner platform unless I can confirm the heat sinks are properly designed / secured. I've gotten a few S7 with heat sinks loose and some that are at least 10 degree C hotter on 1 hash board than the others within the same chassis. The usual should only be within +/- 5 degree C. Every box we get now, I spin them softly to listen if they have loose heat sink. Also some units are not cut to the right shape so be careful using the sliding grooves to connect more than 1 S7 together. If it doesn't go smooth, don't force it as it can become stuck and be very very hard to get out even though it can slide either direction.
February 25, 2016, 12:13:25 PM
I doubt we see a S8. I think day's of even numbers with all in one setup's are done. I could be wrong but they have stayed away for a while. I think they have mastered shipping costs staying with odd numbers.
They have been VERY quiet. When S7 was coming out there was all kinds of rumors we knew with S5+ some big things were changing. So far we just have not seen that. That is no way means they don't have it ready to go, but they have had 0 leaks of info yet.

Yes I think the Even series of Miner is dead and has been replaced by the Plus Series Tripple Bay Miners. Makes sense as it save a lot of engineering work. However also agreed on your VERY quiet point, perhaps too quiet. Could it mean that they are not as advanced as we assume with a 14/16nm Miner?

maybe they made enough money where they all jumped ship and moved to some tropical island and is currently laying on a beach and drinking drinks from hollowed out pineapples..

Hi Philip,
I noticed that on all my orders, I paid them via different BTC addresses. So I'm not sure how we can truly track their total BTC values. It's quite possible their total BTC is way more than that especially since they also mine themselves and operate Antpool and may have different BTC for different batches / purposes / branch. Whatever the next product is, I hope they can come up with a miner that is as quiet as the S3 or Avalon 6 on the upper end. Need to expand to another shop where noise is a bit trickier.
we know they take bank orders so that does not show up.
the 27000 coins trace to sales on bitmaintech. I have traced all my sales to that address above since last year.
I HAVE FOUND THEY HAVE pulled my sales records older then 2015.
but
jan 2015 payment

jan 6 2015
so all of 2015 and part of 2016 these are the sales.
I don't hate them I am pointing out their service is worse then it used to be.
and that at the least they are holding 27,000 coins.
