What are your thoughts on running the S7's on their side? I keep hearing about people losing heatsinks.
How do they lose heatsink?
They don't, just don't bang them around as they can easily fall out. They can be run on the sides no issues. Just put have the Exhaust Fan facing up and you're ok as the heat sink can fall down and hit a spinning fan killing the unit. On the side it will more than likely drop to a safer spot. You can always slowly spin it and listen to hear if there's anything that sounds loose other than the hash boards which may slide a bit. I have mine running sideways.
Some facing left and some facing right.

I hope they give Lucky money in Bitcoins, we need to prop up the prices!! Let's hope for 500+ btc prices right after the new year.
blockhalving, increased diff = less BTCs => supply and demand => BTC price goes up!
not really..
there are way more then enough bitcoins on the market where miners wont have much impact on supply and demand..

im guessing we will see a small spike in bitcoin price as everyone will buy all they can to anticipate the price going up. then after the block half's it will just go back to where it was.
the only way to know for sure is to wait.. but as a miner id not count on the price doubling just because you get less coins as a reward.

Board 1 just died in my batch 9
Had to unplug it as it would just cause it not to mine.
Who do I contact for warranty repair?

Correct for RMA that is the email to use. Been a while since I have had to use it, but it should work.
Other option is the ticket system. But the email seems far more popular.

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.
Exactly. If the market rate went up or held (like in the SP20 vs S5 days) you wouldn't be complaining. Some people will win, some people will lose, this isn't Bitmain conspiring to get you.

Well I think this should teach people to wait and not be first at this point. Also, I don't plan on getting any more miners until halfing happens at this point. Time to just save up the BTC and see if the price rises enough to have made that a smart move... fingers crossed.
We're on the same page. I'm guessing there will be rigs available that are more than twice as efficient as the S7.
Will they be worth buying? There's so many variables that there's no way to know yet. If BTC goes up as much as some speculate (ie: 1200 - 1700 USD), it might be worth it--ie: despite the halving.
Anyone got an accurate crystal ball?

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.
Its because everybody wants to have a money printing machine -that's why we all got sucked into it.
Printer is out of ink, that's all. Time to refill it. =) Oh wait, the ink cost more than the printer...............they got me!!!
This is probably the best analogy i've read just yet but yes.

I'm on board with this to be honest. I'd like to see where everything is at once the halving hits.. There is no way to make ROI on anything you buy now before the halving, and who knows what will happen then. Too risky.
