Philipma above may be right however bitmain's recent S7 batches (8, 9 and upcoming) are crap, they're overclocking already from the factory, out of the box. These new batches won't last 6 months. Which is just as good since halving will happen in early July this year. After rewards halve, these miners will become almost worthless. By then Bitmain will have come out with a new model that's twice as energy efficient but will cost you three times as much. We must be stupid to play their game cause we losers and China factory owners only winners. I'm beginning to suspect Satoshi must be Chinese.

in morocco we cost 0.09$ per 100KW/H...it's cheap ou not ?

if you pay 9 usa cents for a kwatt do not get into mining.

if you pay 9 usa cents for 100kwatts  you should make money at this game.


As to how long your gear lasts.

with an underclock and quality power plus good power supplies


 90% of your S-7 or avalon6 will last 1 year __________this is a guess based on the 150 or so miners I have used.

1 burnout and I was pushing due to my misreading of safe speeds.

so my failure rate is 1/150 dead 149/150 not dead.

So 0.0009$ per kWh? Make sure you're not messing up the math and you're not missing other fees. But if thats the case then thats nearly free electricity.

0.09$/kWh is high but not unusual. 0.05$/kWh is very good. 0.02-0.03$/kWh is greatness and anything less would be hyper fantastic for mining.

This could be horribly wrong but a article - https://energypedia.info/wiki/Morocco_Energy_Situation say's "Prices range from 0.9 MAD per kWh for up to 100 kWh / month to 1.49 MAD per kWh beyond 500 kWh / month."

.9 MAD  = approx 0.093046 USD

So it is normalish electricity nothing special.  But I would check as if site is right it rises as your usage does.  And this is old like 1.5 to 2 years so very well could be higher or lower.

Do you have a VAT aswell?   It appeared you do there, but that will also make a difference depending on price.

i wanna buy some Antminer S7 unites but i don't know how long can they live so if i invest 40K and after that they well get down, it's gonna be a bad deal to me, so fellas if you have any information about life time of this hardware's you can leave comment

Thank You  Grin

You are talking about buying from private company that does not release amount of RMA's vs sales.... so no way to really tell.  Also 40k would not all be spent on miners unless your hosting somewhere else.  You would need to set up your mining area, with cooling, power, etc.  It add's up and that is a lot of electricity.

Normally the gear lasts long enough it will eventually be less usefull for normal electricity and is sold to "cheap" or "free" electricity users.  What is your electricity price?

There are many factors that come to play in determining the life span of the miners. How well are you keeping them? What is the temperature that you will maintain? Do you have a steady internet connection? etc.
This could make them last one day, or last all their life span. I would say the average is one year probably, but that is just guessing. The bigger problem of that is difficulty, after approximately six months from now, these miner will not produce half (maybe even quarter) of what they produce now, not to mention the halving which will bring the outcome to half of that.

my brother i just want to know the approximate number to do some math,


and i have a question to you how long your hardware's works well without stop and no troubleshooting


please accept my stupid question and i hope to help

Thnk You Smiley 

None of mine ever stopped so far. Its not possible for anyone to guess at what time, if ever, any of your miners would malfunction, they don't have an expiration date like most living organisms.

what you mean (One thread's enough.) ?

S7 and Avalons 6 are being discussed in depth in several thread, some of which are dedicated to this. Also, asking how long the miner you will buy will last is like asking whats next week's winning lottery number is.

Anyways, take a look at the speculation section. But the miners could last 1 sec or its full mining life time. Avalon 6 has better build quality.
