sound logically that next gen to be after halving. maybe even in 2017 if condition arise!

There's going to be 0.06 stuff before then, from gridseed i think and they're not the only ones working on "next-gen stuff". With Bitmain's motto being cheap and loud, i'm not sure they are going to beat that, but we'll see.

We really won't see next gen until just before or just after halving as it seems there would not be much reason to release a new miner until then. Keep in mind the S7 is not very old but bitmain sure has produced a ton of those units. Halving will really be the factor that warrants new hardware to keep up profits high enough for the miners to make this industry worthwhile.

'The right to privacy matters'

Bitmaintech has no reason to change to new gear until some one has better gear.

So if some One really starts to sell .15 watt or .20 watt gear bitmaintech will bust out a .10 watt item

Til then stand in line for the s-7's

the next miner will be S7+ version ,something like 10 Th/S and about 2200 W

Depends on competition I think a S7+ is not to hard to believe since S5+. But S5+ was a very short lived batch, I love mine still. But most did not order one. Also it's a really quick way to get rid of old gen chips.

So if they move on a batch of S7+ before going to S9 makes sense. How long till this? Who knows at least over a month as we know Batch 9 is being made up till around then. I hope we get a while on current gen before next... but your never know.

My guess is that BMT is already mining on new HW which is not released to the public yet but could be already in production or in "testing" phase.

What would be your prediction of the specs of the next gen on antminers ?

-Such as it's size/weight/build/power consumption/hashrate/ etc

- me thinks it's going to be in the 10 th/s range, 2000 'ish W, slightly bigger than the current S7, more chips per hashboard.

When will it be launched ?

- My guess end of 1st quarter of 2016

Of course the pricing would be ?

- Ain't gonna be cheap or barely make ROI unless, super CHEAP power or FREE power, 0 or LOW setup cost, prolly near to or at least 5 BTC/miner

Pre-Orders ?

- Yes I think so there's gonna be a month's wait

I hope it will use less PCIE cables, more reliable, I highly doubt that it can get away with noise & heat.

Let's hear it.
