Has anyone gotten a batch 9 shipping confirmation yet?

Do people think Bitmain will go back to a fixed USD price if BTC keeps dropping? Guesses as to what the fixed price would be?

No shipping confirmation yet, ordered at 27th Dec. 2015

If you haven't already, send an email to [email protected] (the email address on the flier), write order number on the subject line. Did you order a B8 or B9, except for B1 later batches were shipped on time and even earlier, so I don't know why it took 20 days for you to receive your miner. My personal experience, Bitmain has replaced my B1 boards twice already (2 boards the first time and a fan, and 1 board second time). I like the S7s better than other available miners on the market, cheaper and more hash.

Thanks hawkfish007, I did try that address, but I will try again. I didn't try their skypes, I will also try their skype's when they are open Monday / time zone.

Skype sales: bitmain_sale1 bitmain_sale2

I have not tried this yet either.

that a difference at all between batch and batch 8 9 do not see it, it is only a matter of interest $$$$$
Now suppose that I buy batch 9, who tells me that I do not send batch8?
at the end there is no difference, are equal, they could take directly batch8 and make it unique batch 9, and start with shipments, so lie ahead for a future batch of 10, provided there.

The difference is batch 8 is in next 5 day's shipped should be a guarantee. So you know it's going to be soon. Some have been lucky and reported batch 9 already, but obviously not all got that lucky.

If you were the worst of lucky I think they have till Feb 5 till it's truly late. So could be some time if they used all of it.... if they do no one could say.

If they wait until Feb 5th I'll be seriously pissed. Technically the website does say that but we all know that batch 8 and 9 are the exact same machines so if they have them to ship now for batch 8 then they should have them to ship immediately for batch 9 on the 20th. I fully expect to see shipping notification by the 21st or the 22nd at the latest since I bought mine around the 5th so would expect to be close to the front end of the batch 9 shipping queue.

surely we will see our batch 9 February Cry

It is interesting time with batches. We are now between 5 day's withing batch 8 shipping, and batch 9's official start. So we should see batch 8 go away in next week or so. It is a around 85 dollar difference between batches with lowered BTC, so still predict at this point most go with batch 9 at this point.

The thing I wonder is if they will go back to fixed usd price temporary. If paying in BTC you had it's same price. But if you bought BTC today and bought a S7 from fiat converted it's a decent amount cheaper.

the price is falling again,
last week I ordered 1 x S7 batch 9, for $ 1,076,
it now costs $ 889,
my batch 9 has not yet been sent Embarrassed

Finally decided to order my first S7 because of this. Hopefully they ship out the batch 9's quickly but I'm sure mine will be at the tail end of the queue.

Ugh, you are totally missing the point. -- I am looking for first hand experience, someone who has worked with bitmain, more than just a single unit. Just asking questions. If you have experience with these units, ordering, and live in NA, maybe PM me or something. I can ask you directly. Otherwise, just stop being a dick. I obviously have read this thread extensively, so you linking me to the root page is like me sending you a link for something you already know, like this:

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=define%3A+you%27re+being+a+dick

No it not obvious to me at all.

I have read all 12 of your post in the forums. If you had indeed read thru this thread you would have seen ( and not to many pages back) where someone had ordered multiple miners shipped to the U.S. and his troubles he ran into. Dont you think you would learn more from skimming thru the pages and following all the good and bad we have been thru in ordering the S7 from Bitmain. You would have a better understanding knowing it like that. I say bullshit your going to drop $100k for miners. Good luck in your astounding research.

aurel is right on almost all people. You would be surprised how many come acting like they have big money to drop, and have lots of questions. In the end most do not invest.

Just to go from no miners to 100kish of miners is not reasonable for almost all. You need a data center or large operation just to host it. And considering price of BTC in past 24 hours you would shock almost all if you go through with a sale of this scale. It's nothing against you it's just tons of people have done this and asked questions about "what if" and say a far larger amount then they actually invest if any.

A number of early batch 9 orders were shipped, those that came in before they dropped the price.. Confirmed by my rep at Bitmain

Am I able to overclock my S7 B4. Ive been running it on stock frequency on a 120v plug with a EVGA 120-G2-1300-XR 80 PLUS GOLD 1300 W PSU. I just want to tweak it up a little bit. Is it smart to try this or no since i dont have access to 240v

Yes you can. Try running 593 or 600. If hashrate increases as expected, keep pushing. Plenty of room left in that 1300w EVGA.

I wouldn't think you have much "headroom" to overclock, though I don't own an S7 of any vintage. Have your tried to find out what your actual power draw is today (e.g. using a Kill-a-Watt)? Any sense of how hard your PSU is running now (e.g. fan speed and exhaust temp)? Are all your cables to the S7 cool and connectors at both ends of those 12V cables cool as well? Is your S7 running cool as it stands today?

Personally I don't try and push my gear, but that's a personal choice not shared by all.

All I know is what I have experienced so far. I have an single S7, my first item from Bitmain. It took a very long time to acquire, 8 weeks. After 20 days, it has a dead board (board 2) I have reached out since Jan 9, and everything I have sent to them has been ignored. I have had no reply at all. With the BTC price being so low right now, it makes me want to pounce on the S7's but I am worried that A) I will never hear from them again and B) support will be an issue.

By looking at back at the past 10 pages or so, you'd see that yes Bitmain had some support issues ongoing.
For example, they had a couple batch 5 hashboards from me in possession for nearly a month without response.
I also had no response from them in regards to some batch 8 issues.

Did Bitmain come through and respond? - YES and they also sent working replacements to me.
Did Bitmain respond to my batch 8 issues? - YES they have. (and in a timely manner in regards to most recent inquiry) less than 48 hours.
Did Bitmain compensate late batch 1 users as they had promised? - YES they have, a couple months late - but never-the-less the followed through.

What does this tell me?
It tells me, that Bitmain does still care about their end-user business model and that they are working to improve customer level support.
Hopefully that continues.

If emails aren't working for you, try calling them.

Well its definately now cheaper then before.

Price: 2.4 BTC
( 960 USD )

Will be interesting to see what happens they had it on fixed BTC as it seemed to be rising and was better then fixed USD. I really would not be surprised if we see a switch back to fixed USD if it drops much more.

Or I could be wrong and they sell at lower price hoping for more sales.

No really. I am asking. Has anyone got these shipped to the USA From Bitmain China ? How long did it take. What does it cost? I hear their support doesn't exist at all. So. Hopefully they run flawlessly or else. Doomed.

Comments ?

I asked this question a few pages back.. I am thinking about ordering between 90 - 140 units from Bitmain S7 the batch 9, but I am asking. Has anyone ordered from their site before? How long do they take to arrive, how is their support?

Does anyone know? Or are most people here just buying one or two second hand from EBay?

They are the best units on the market. From order to delivery is usually about 1-2wks unless specified on the site says something else. They do stand by their products for 90days, but put you through all of the troubleshooting yourself if something goes wrong with a unit. They email pics and procedures on how to test and evaluate the problem unit. If you cannot resolve the issue, they have you mail the hashboards or control board back to them without the metal housing. You have to pay the shipping. The turnaround from problem to getting the repaired parts back to you is about 3-4weeks. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your note. More questions for you.

Did you order units from them ? Yes, I have bought S5s from ebay/Craiglist, but not S7s. I only buy S7s from Bitmain.

How much was shipping ? I am in the USA so, shipping is about $60/unit and I always use UPS. Put this code: [HST CODE: 8471.41.0150] in the mailing address and notes so that you do not pay additional charges for inspections.

Are you in the USA or North America? Was shipping difficult ie. Brokerage or customs etc? USA, they are signature required.

How many units did you order from them ? I find it really hard to believe they arrived in two weeks. But if that's true. That is amazing I have ordered about 30 from them. Exception to the Rule: I ordered a B8 on Tuesday and it was delivered on the next Monday. Let me know if you have more questions. You can also PM me.
