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 ?

Anyone have experience using the S7 in an upright position where it's sitting on a wire shelf with the exhaust fan pointing to the ceiling and the intake fan at the bottom?  I'm hearing that this would increase the risk of the heat sink falling and burning out the boards but when I look at the pictures of the internal, regardless of what position there will always be some heat sink that will be in a vertical position.  Any other reason why I should avoid this particular configuration?  Intake air wont be block as it's wire shelves below have plenty of gaps for air.  My goal is to point all the exhaust fans to the ceiling Vent for better efficiency.

I have 3 running in this configuration and using fans in drop ceiling to pull all the hot air above the drop ceiling. Works well, I just zip tied the corners of the miner fans to the wire rack to make sure they don't tip over.

Can I see a picture of this?  I was thinking of using the S7 built in groove and connect 6 on 1 side of the rack and 6 on the other side.  The lower Rack will have the PSU running the power up to them.  from the left and right side.

Just want to say my miners were delivered today and appear to be running without any problems. Thanks to the mining company that mistakenly got them for taking good care of them & thanks to Bitmain for helping relieve my worries.

Glad to hear it all worked out!  I didn't think a company dealing with that many would take time to mess with you.  But glad to hear it confirmed.

Having a good story is always better in the end for all parties of a deal.

He's just trying to see how much quicker the B8 shipped compare to the B9 to see if it was worth the premium difference.

For mos B9 will be better at the cheaper price as some have already reported getting B9's and are lucky.   The ones who are not so lucky could be twords the Feb 5th date with 10 day's range, then the 5 after before it's considered late.

I think most will go B9 at this point.  But I could be wrong.


Ahhhh, I see.  This will be a good evaluation.  I just made an order today for B9s; proving your point of "most will go B9s".

Yep it's just getting so close between the two it's hard to justify the extra.  With saving money I think most will go B9, and in next 5-6 day's B8 should be down.  And there B9 will current.

It's there I will find something interesting.  I want to see if they do a 10 for a month off or what batch 10 will look like.

Received 2 x Batch 5 replacement boards today.
Both installed and running.  Better late than never.

Thanks Bitmain.

I have to chime in on this one.  I received 1 hashboard back today and it is working perfectly!  I will say it too.....Thanks Bitmain!

just got a B8 and 2 B9's

lets see how fast the B8 comes in comparison to the B9's

shipped FEDEX. I also added the HST code to my address, to my EIN / VAT section and to the special notes section


Aren't they the same machine just different shipping options....

The "newer" hashboards now have a buck circuit? True or False?

Can someone take a closeup pic of the new fangled power circuit area with that big inductor? If you can also list the IC part numbers... that would be appreciated.


Big discussion on this further back in the thread, starts about here.

Carries on over several pages, interspersed with other discussions, you will have to pick your way through it.

Someone did above but the reason you will not find many is it actually voids warranty.  On mine there were little stickers to show if miner was opened and boards could be pulled out.

They did not look super tamper resistant so someone might be able to put it back together without anyone knowing.  But this is reason I think you are not seeing many post this.
