Topic: rumors of 3.5Th antminer S7 "lite" - page 6. (Read 8777 times)

No one knows for sure.  A big hoster leaked a date along with info of a lite version.  So far he is only person to claim this I think.  But he is very big in hosting so a decent amount of creditability have been given to it, compared to if some random person said it:


Only time will tell if/when it happens.

It would be here; https://www.bitmaintech.com/product.htm

But it does not exist yet. If you see one and its not announced first, then its a scam. Don't do it.

Anybody have the link to this company were I can buy it if it comes out ? not the cloud link the company link ?

The B-Eleven has not been released yet - it appears to be targeted to be released in December, and all available signs point to it being "real" in the sence that it's being actively worked on by a reputable company and will be "real" and for sale fairly soon.

 Most of the specs seem to be out there except price - current speculation is that the price might be around .87 Bitcoin/TH but there's at least one other post that had the price listed as $500/TH with ZERO reference to where that price came from.

 BW.com is in part owned by Lketc of "Dragon miner" fame, THEY have been around awhile and their equipment has a good reputation for being reliable (but heavy).
 There has been speculation that it will be using the "tapeout announced a few months back" Innosilicon A3 chips, given Lketc's relationship with Innosilicon from the A1 chip days and the similarity of what specs have been announced between the B-Eleven and the A3, but nothing is certain on that front yet AFAIK.

 IMO for any miner to be viable at this point in the .2-.3 watt/TH range, they need to drop the price down to 1BTC OR LESS per TH - as of right now, none of the currently available "new gen" or announced "next gen" miners has a viable chance to achieve RoI if your electric rate is over 3 cents / KWH, and they're all REAL MARGINAL even with 3cent power.

I wish they would go into a tad more detail like Avalon.  I want to know if it can underclock.   I really find underclocking to help my ROI long term.   

They gave us enough to get hooked and want more.  But still need a lot of info.

the company is real and has been around a while.  not sure what it sells for

same power use about .26  for  them vs .25 for bitmain

Is this real or fake ? if its real which I doubt the specs are awesome and great competition for BITMAIN so they lower there price.

It's kind of funny that when I have coin to spend there's nothing actually for sale "new."

It will actually be 2/3 of the Power, however I am hoping it will be around $1000. It will then have to respond to releases by Avalon & BW.com which will hopefully pull it down?


Rich

now that i'm looking to it, i doubt that it will cost half of its big brother, it does not make sense, everyone would buy this instead

i would guess 3/4 of the price of a standard s7, since this is 3/4 in power

This is what the source said:


No one really knows if that is true or not.  We will see in not to long hopefully.

Does anybody know when the S7 Lite or scaled down S7 suppose to come out ? or in fact more S7's

 

I paid: 0.662  BTC for S5+ and 3 PSU's.  But the psu's were sent at a lower weight then actual was..... so I had to pay UPS more as bitmain shipped at lower declared weight.  It was not horrible though like 15 more dollars or something.

Worst miner I have had was Dragon 1.5T..... that thing is truly a tank.  It was around 50 pounds or so, so quite rediclous.  I can't remember what I paid on it I shopped all around to save buyer money and found a decent price us to us in 5-7 days I think it was on some carrier.   Like 3 day's on it was like 150-200 or something so was insane.

Not sure on DHL they are worst one for me as I live at edge of the drivers route... causes many problems.

Very little chance of coupon.  I don't see them changing on it.  The B1 compensation was pretty crappy, they did not sound like coupons would come.

So best chance is price is good on coins and they don't jack up price.  And then you can order.  But coupon don't count on.

I would hope so, and I also have hopes for a nice coupon for those who ordered b2/b3 late (say, after 10/15) IF they would decrease per Th price substantially for S7 lite.

the quoted price is from the reseller, which tends to be higher, besides, avalon always tried to maintain a premium-see 4.1 prices.
we shall see.

You sound like a philosopher stop waffling.

If the S6 number of $1300 for 3.65 TH is correct, $1000 likely won't be in the cards. Unless of course Bitmain has "too many S7" sitting around (highly unlikely IMHO).

Ooooh this would be awesome!!!!

$1000 might still be out of the price range :S, , but who knows maybe not when I get bonous.

Depends on price of it I think.  Some hated it but I always had good luck with S4's. I loved that it was all in one.   Just the ease of use to be sit it up with no plugging in or doing really anything is nice.

But I agree like on my S5+ where it was a heck of a lot of PCIe cords it's nice that I could pick out the PSU's.   Makes it pretty nice on that miner.
