I ordered 5 x Batch 10, waiting for shipping
February 16, 2016, 08:22:44 AM
Ill keep you guys updated when they ship mine.

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:

Don't like Kano, that's fine. Use Bitminter or slush but don't support crap pools like F2, Ant or Eligius that are long term killers of BTC and do more damage then good. Unless you don't care if your coins are worthless.....
why eligius..?i thought eligius.st is similar P2Ppool and helping the network..

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.
Yeah, swap PSUs on it and see if it still behaves erratically. It could also be your controller, I had one that was wonky like that. You could almost set a timer and countdown to when it would die. If so that's hopefully still under warranty.
Let us know what you find in case someone else has the problem.

Another +25% diff increase is the nail in the coffin for home miners looking to profit (if it isn't completely dead already) without a new ultra efficient cheap home miner coming out on the market within the next 30 days or so (unlikely).
In the past year I've been home mining (plus small data center mining) for an average loss of 30%. In return I get freshly minted coins from Eligius or p2pool. Still beats going to shit places like Coinbase to buy your coins and have them track how you spend them. The S7 has probably allowed me to extend my home mining operation for another 6 months or so. As long as the loss is not too much I prefer to mine my coins rather than buy them.
If you had been mining at Kano for past year you would not be mining at a loss! Check the stats and you will see I'm right. The facts are easy to see. F2 after fees is just as bad as Eligius. Not to mention how bad they are for the long term health of the network.
This is the Kano Advertising thread so of course I wouldn't expect to see anything less than another four pages of ads beginning again...
Oh wait...

Again, wrong topic for that conversation.

Not when you're mining at Kano. Hahaha........we got some buffer room. =) Now let's hope for BTC price increase above $450 fast, we will be ok for a little bit longer. Every issues is an opportunity. Panic selling = Plenty of money making opportunities for the buyers.
True. I switched to buying BTC weekly once the price dropped below $400. Hopefully price goes up and I can make money from the price rise and mining. Luckily power for me is very low so I can at least make a bit of profit still, but the miners at my home are off.

Bitmain sells S7s for the price the market will buy at. Its capitalism 101. Don't be mad, its the way of the world that we live in.
Got it. So shame on me, and everyone else who bought a batch 1-7 from buying, because Capitalism. Spare me the economics lesson kind sir.
My argument isn't "I'm hopping mad because I spent too much money."
No, I'm saying "we're all fools, and Bitmain is ruining the industry." And they're ruining it in the exact same way you tried to school me - "Bitmain sells S7s for the price the market will buy at. Its capitalism 101."
Even if that price means a 50% discount within 2 months.
If we were talking about anything other than a unit which is meant to consistently create an economic product for the owner, then I'd be totally on the same page with you. But the S7 has made me realize that the smartest people in the room are the ones who stopped home mining, and never bought an s7 in the first place.
Bitcoin mining is NOT scalable. And certainly not profitable. And with equipment already obsolete in less than 60 days - with impaired ability to resell for a reasonable price, not something you can really maintain (unless you like losing money for a loud heater in your room).
It's game over folks. The S7 is the destruction of the hobby miner.
this already happen few times
because difficulties is WORSEN not to mention import tax, and other equiptment, also internet cost
when i bought S3+, since september2014 i can't BEP,
i bought S5 April2015, also cannot BEP
i bought S7 batch7 December2015, now i believe im in big trouble because bitmain discount 50% + difficulties
is it only me or all of us having same problems..?
there is NO OTHER WAY to profit in mining, NOT EVEN with FREE ELECTRICITY
Every year, the sum of difficulties spike is ALMOST ALWAYS +120%, that means average 10%/month in random
I think you are having some trouble with math or english "the sum of difficulties spike is almost always +120%"
does not make a lot of sense. Not your fault as these numbers are amazing.
The problem is the last 101 days look at this chart and compare the 101 days to the 404 days before that.
The last 101 days are really fucking bad and on top of that wicked bad increase we are going up 25%
so that 2.322 x 1 101 days
will become 2.902 x 1 in 107 days!!

I just got some plugs and made these little jumpers...
Nice- Where did you get those plugs?
These were 14 pin connectors needed for Corsair power supplies which I found on eBay for $1 plus $4 shipping from Hong Kong...do a search for "Modular Power Supply 14-pin Connector" and you will see it. You also have to have female crip pins, wire, and a crimper to make your own. I have about an extra 20 of these made up...I got a little carried away! These work with the Corsair power supplies; others may use different connectors.
If anyone wants any of these 14-pin jumpers just send me a PM...
