Was selling a few s7's on eBay.
Turns out that there is a drop ship company in Newcastle DE that buyers out of the country send to.
At that point the item can be shipped all over the world.
Then the buyer will ask for a return or more items than were actually purchased.
So be careful with buyers with a Newcastle DE shipping address.
eBay knows about this scam and location.

good info. if the buyer asks for a return they have to pay out the ass for shipping back to you. ebay wont refund them without them sending it back. also overseas orders usually take a while to go through customs on the us side and on their end but the tracking info you have will provide everything ebay requires which is that is was delivered on xx date at the DE location. if it takes another 2-3 weeks to arrive overseas you can tell ebay it tooks them xx weeks to tell you there was an issue and dispute the return. its best to speak with a rep on the phone so you can explain it to them directly instead of trying to settle the dispute through the online dispute section because humans dont check the dispute usually....their automated system accepts just about all return requests even if you know the return is phony.

Threw my s3 into my car last night with wifi to supply heat.
Went down to 10F outside.
This morning showed 250C, fans at 3500rpm 0.0 hashrate.
Went and checked and it was cold.
Brought back inside and now it is running ok.
Was having some problem with networking on that s3. Trying another tonight.

Electrical engineer. Mining since 2014.
My graphs showed some hours of nearly no hashrate. Probably the pool was online but didn't work. It's a bit strange, that the actual graphs don't show this outage anymore.
Great, so I am not losing it. That sucks.
Maybe I'll switch to f2pool until they sort it out.
antpool 1.5% fee f2pool 4% fee so I use antpool normally with f2pool backup
You do realise that the actual Antpool fee is much higher because miners are not getting shares of the tx fees?
Use slush or kano.is for example, that's my advice.
Does f2pool get tx fees?
F2Pool keeps all the tx fees, no tx fees for miners.

Transaction fees are becoming more and more important part of the miner reward as days go by.

payout from antpool was down 1/4 of normal last night.
Everything looks fine hashing fine but payout down 1/4
Not failing over.
antpool graphs fine.
Do I need a new wallet?  running multipool 4.1 wallet ant bitcoin core wallet 12.1
one wallet running on hardware and one on rentals, both lower payout 1/4

On second look, looks like payment timing is a bit screwy. Usually payout at 22:00, last two days payout 3:30 in the morning and the 20:30 in the evening.

Can't get them anywhere less than $3000

Most interestingly, the price is the same $2995+$10 shipping for 11.85, 13, 13.5 and 14Th-check for yourself at Amazon.
ebay is even higher-up to $3500.
Ridiculous, but reminds me of early winter in 2014 when KnC stopped selling Jupiters and people were paying up to 12-14K/used miner.

any update about new batch of s9 ?

You and others KEEP asking
Follow the thread and the twitter and wait for them to announce it on here or there, stop asking others to do the leg work for you!

That is not leg work it is something about which we can talk when the batch will announce and what to expect and when this are the things on which we all can talk it is not" leg wotk"

But it has been discussed,
Extended warranty, aside from that there's no rumors or even reliable way to speculate on the next hash rate or cost, bitmain keeps it close until they announce, usually with about 12 hours notice to when sales open

Anything else is pure speculation.

Thought id share this since noone seems to have much data on cold operations.  Least none that ive seen.  Antminer s9 batch 9  11.85 ths in Zero degree Fahrenheit!

anyone have any tricks to getting a s7 back online when it shows temp at 250c.  Seems no one fixed temp bug from s1 and it still plagues these miners.  Ive attempted at unchecking the box for over 80c stop mining but that doesn't effect it any.  It tries to warm up but never can start mining.  If the chip isnt over 0c it will not start hashing.  Very odd.  Is this software issue or is it that the chips don't like that cold?  TIA


EDit.  well looks like a no go for remote restart.  When they are too cold they absolutely will not start to hash.  Looks like a trip to the farm and some cardboard over the intake side:)  Some reason this one wont stay hashing. Normally cold isnt an issue but i think this one is loosing connection briefly causing it to cool down to an unstable state.

I feel your fan speed is a bit too high. My S9 runs stably at -20 degC @ 35% manual fan speed. it's quiet and chip temps stay between 65 ~ 75 degC.
I agree 4000rpm at 0 degrees F seems crazy
When it is that cold you should be able to run it on auto fan.

Boards temps need to be 50c or above for "normal" functionality from what I've experienced with miners.
