I'm guessing just about everybody's batch 10 is shipped. I ordered mine Jan 31st got shipping notice today. Definitely have buyers remorse with the high difficulty jumps.

I don't see point buying S7, when after halving they are not profitable, if you don't have very cheap electricity.
by very cheap you mean less then 3c a kwh.. :/
the price on batch 11 is insane.. it will cost more then you will get out of it, even if you are lucky and there are no more 20% diff increases..

batch 10 out of stock ? seems like I just got the last 5 of them 
My guess is the difficulty changing made it where they were not selling to many. I would think they would wait till after batch 10 shipping date, but I figure we can see a price decrease.
The good question is how much will next batch cost. The last difficulty adjustment and the that will happen on that will happy in about two day's likely will be 35 percent or so is not a outrageous number. Could be higher or lower... but will bitmain adjust price that radically? I don't think so but I would love to be wrong.
the better question is will batch 11 come before march 2nd when the coupons expire..
hopefully it will be like 400$ ill probably pick up one then.
thats what they did with the s5s.. i got two of those 350$ ones.. still running strong.

Then you were right.
But I'm moving this spring, and i'm not 100% sure of know how things will be there.
It also coincide with the "cool times" soon to end AND then the halving will be next door. So i'm thinking there will be a speculative BTC spike before the halving, which could be a good time to sell hardware for many reasons.

That is a bummer for sure it seemed like you had a sweet gig with current apartment. You seemed to run a good amount of gear for an apartment... and free is awsome. Mind if I ask what is making you move? I would try to stay if I ever found a deal like that.
I am surprised the landlords did not throw a fit though with electricity cost.
Big corporate apartments complex do not have individual meters. I'm leaving because it was a temporary deal. I'm getting my cheap apartment now, i just dont know what the circuit there can support. For all i know it could be 60A.
And its older, so i'd have to scale up the sound proofing a lot. I just dont know yet.

I think they will make another batch and sell again. I think they have mastered design with least amount of chips needed and high freq. I think they make a killing when they sell them. So I feel every batch just means more money for them. I think we will keep seeing them and they will lower prices based on difficulty partially trying to drum up new sales at lower price each batch.
I agree and am hoping they drop prices to get one final big push of miners out the door before 16nm miners make the S7 a thing of the past.
they will have to be very cheap to be worth anything.. currently, at 10c a kwh they cost around 90$ a month to run, and in 2 days or so they will only make 170$ a month..
they will only be worth while to people with very low power cost.
at 5 cents power or less they are good gear. at 10 cents not very good.
i was thinking about getting one this round but my power costs arent so good..
Costs are based on average PSE residential rates for electric service ($.088594 per kWh [first 600 kWh] and $0.107172 [remaining kWh])
Right now, i'm finding it icky at 0.06$, so i would second your own judgment here. I used to recommend at 0.07 and under. At the moment i would not get in unless i was at 0.03 which myself am not. I'm even considering selling the 2 S7 that i have. Maybe even the Avalons 6 even though they're pretty chill.
I always assumed you had free electricity from your apartment building.

The difficulty ramp up compared to the hashrate on these miners makes these look like the first miners I have purchased since BFL that will fail to make any profit. At this rate I am questioning their ability to even pay back what I paid for them. I am speaking in terms of BTC paid to purchase them vs BTC eventually earned before they become completely useless.

Will be interesting to watch we should see batch 10 shipping any time: ANTMINER S7 BATCH 10 - Shipped out from Feb. 16~20
Currently in China: 4:47 PM Tuesday, February 16, 2016
So I'm guessing not the 16th since no one reported shipping notice. But should be soon as long as they keep timeline.

Not sure how many will buy at current prices.
I would almost be willing to bet they decided to keep all of their remaining batch 8 and 9. Hence, the considerable hash rate increase we saw. I believe they also hooked up the batch 10 over the holidays for testing purposes. How many of the batch 10 they keep as well is unknown.
EDIT: I expect bitcoin price to rise to about $630's to $730's soon. It will rise to those levels over approximately a 2 month period.
EDIT: The block halving has changed from July 25th to July 13th now. I'm anticipating the block halving to take place in late June at the current rate. This means the pump I'm expecting may peek the end of April or early May then go back down to who knows what. That's if it takes a similar road LTC took at its block halving.
However, it is possible it could go up higher before falling, like what I'm depicting in the following screen shot. I have it leveling out at about $450 in June, 2016:
I really hope your right on price rising, as if difficulty keeps rising we need a better value to keep a decent profit margin or at least I do. If you look at hash it has slowed down I think it's due to Batch 10's being boxed up. I could be wrong but that is my theory.
I think they will make another batch and sell again. I think they have mastered design with least amount of chips needed and high freq. I think they make a killing when they sell them. So I feel every batch just means more money for them. I think we will keep seeing them and they will lower prices based on difficulty partially trying to drum up new sales at lower price each batch.

one of s7 freezes after about an hour powered on - I am trying to deduce what or which component is giving problems. The rigs are currently racked and tied down neatly and taking it out with the PSU will be a hassle. My guess is a bad PSU. I am using the stock 1600w PSU by Bitmain. Anyone had this situation before, comments pls, it would save me a lot of time....
Try using another PSU from a close by machine. What are your temps?
temps are normal low 60s and overall cage temp also ok.
I've had issues with the bitmain psu that caused similar results. The wires connecting the psu fan were coming loose, fan would stop, psu heated up and eventually goes to thermal fail safe till it cools.
