When comparing prices you need to member that time is money and the earlier more expensive S7 have had been hashing at a lower difficulty for longer. Not sure if anyone has done the maths to show who was better off?

I have 2 S7's and a 3rd on the way (Batch 9 purchased 1-6-16 sent today). I track my purchase and profits all in BTC. If I need to buy cables I usually have to pay USD but I will convert it at the time of purchase to add to my spreadsheet. I usually can get PSU's for BTC on newegg although my latest PSU was purchased with USD because newegg didn't have any 1600 gold, only platinum and titanium which I didn't want to spring for. So all of these include an EVGA 1600 G2 and some of them include extra 14awg extension cords. Here is where I am now.

Batch 5 - 3.79860731 BTC still needed to break even - earned 1.66839269 so far <--Hashing on bitminter
Batch 8 - 4.03911787 BTC still needed to break even - earned 1.01088213 so far <--Hashing on KanoCK
Batch 9 - 3.27 BTC to break even (this is the one that shipped today - supposed to arrive Friday but that seems optimistic - probably won't start hashing for me until Monday)

The new one will go on KanoCK also.

Just out of curiosity, do you also track operating expenses in BTC? I am thinking of primarily electricity costs, though space rental, Internet access, and cooling could be present depending on your situation.

No, I run them at work so I don't pay electric. The boss knows and doesn't seem to care but I keep it reasonable in terms of how many devices I have.

My batch 9 units arrived today. The controllers have the extra fan connections unlike the Batch 8 version. Just FYI

How about the hash-board connectors? Still only 3, or are all 9 present?

because S7 should go directly S9?
S8 do not like? Wink

Only guessing of course, but I am assuming that we have seen the end of the Even Numbered Miners, with them being replaced by the Plus Series, triple bay Miners?

STRICKLY SPECULATION:

Within the next 2 weeks, Bitmain will be announcing a new miner (~S9). Reasons:
- There has been a great deal of time from the Batch 8/9. The Engineers have not been sitting idle and resting.
- The price of the Batch 9 is now capped at $903. This could be technical glitch, but the price has not risen since the BTC to USD was $382 and is now $412.

Get Ready. Your Thoughts?

I would say too soon for S9, still life left in the S7. Yes the Bitfury chip will be competition but it's some Months away from a real Miner. I would think at least another 2 - 3 months of S7? However never a dull moment in this game...

I am pretty its a glitch. There system was slow to update when the price crashed as well. It can take a few hours to update to reflect the current price. It is locked in at 2.4 btc.

im sure this has already been covered but why am i seeing the s7s now on bitmains website for just 900$?

boy am i glad i didnt order two weeks ago, or a month ago, or 4 months ago ? Sad

anyway I saw something in the thread about the s7+ ? Is this going to be released any-day or something? Any links to rumors etc? Google brought back pratically nothing to mee.

Thanks!

The S7+ is just a possible product, nothing announced. S5+, 3 Bay S5, was probably done to use up BM1384 Chips, prior to S7 Release. I suspect an S7+ will only happen if they find themselves with a surplus of BM1385 when the S9 / BM1386 is ready for release?

Can you power an antminer s7 off an evga 1300 and a corsair 500 watt psu? I'm thinking the 1300 for the blades and the 500 for the controller. Would this setup work?

You can run the Batch 8/9 S7 using just 1 EVGA G2 1300w no issues. I ran 2 S7 powered by the 2 EVGA G2 1300W for a few weeks until I purchased my server PSU combo. It will work with just 2 connection to each Hash board instead of 3 but if you want all ports connected for warranty purposes, you will have to buy 1 additional dual PCI-E cable since the PSU only comes with 2 of those and the other 4 are single connections. I purchased extra cables for all my EVGAs. I think this is easier than powering it by multiple PSU and worrying about the power on and power down sequence.

actually, you need just two additional PCI-E splitters like this (to split two red singles):

http://www.amazon.com/JacobsParts-Express-Power-Splitter-Cable/dp/B00JLU0UQ4 for just 3.95 shipped

just remember to separate (slide off) 2pins from 8 (to make it 6+2)-they ship like this (8=6+2)

EVGA 1300 G2's are perfectly fine with S7's.
I've run Batch 1's, Batch 6's@ 4.5TH with zero issues.
I've also run a few sets of 2x S5's overclocked to 1.25TH each for months with zero issues per EVGA 1300 G2.

Yeah but thats 1220~1300W at the wall. With B8 and B9 S7's, what Bitmain is selling right now, you're looking at 1415~1480W at the wall depending on PSU efficiency. So still fine, but very limit.

The efficiency of those is about 0.3J/GH/s with gold efficiency, versus 0.25J/GH/s of the early S7 batches.

Yes, I'd buy a B2, B3, B6, B7 over the current new crap. Here is what I am getting on the B2 OC'ed to 600 and pulling 1215w
