I believe I will have to do as you advise with the bank account. Could you give me an example of you may have went through to no longer give them free reign of your bank account?
Thanks for your input.
First I had my PayPal account hacked and it was used to buy a $500 camera on EBay. I noticed it in time to stop it but the hacker wrote me and said PayPay was very easy to hack and even offered to show me how. Anyways that was enough to persuade me but if you look at PayPals rules you allow PayPal to make the dession on refunds and remove the money from your bank account. I have always treated my buyers fair but I don't trust PayPal or EBay to have my best interest at heart. When I opened my PayPal account years ago I had a online bank account first attached even though that Bank is no longer around but still show as my online bank account. So there is nothing for PayPal to get. To be on topic here I know Bitmain asked us to be patient on the batch 1 compusation but I think it's time to get this taken care of. |

Anyone know when they will sell Batch 7 ?
maybe Bitmain should address the compensation from Batch 1 first |

Never have your bank account tied to PayPal only a credit card. I have found that Discover Card is hands down the best. If your in the right on a problem with a seller bypass PayPal and file your complaint with Discover. They will give you the credit instantly and fight PayPal for you. I was a power seller on EBay and have used PayPal since its start. Trust me you have to protect yourself and never give them access to your bank account.
I might learn something here. Does this mean one can credit their Discover Card from their PayPal account? Meaning can we send money from our PayPal account [After we sold something] to our Discover Card account?No. I just use the card to pay with. Since I removed my bank account from PayPal i have to request a check to remove funds for items sold. Takes just a few days longer. I will not give PayPal free reins to my bank account again. |

After seeing his feedback "as a seller," I would not do a damn thing with him. Irresponsible sellers like that piss me off!!!!
Yeah, I didn't look at that before I purchased them - but TBH I wouldn't care, as PayPal has things covered and the price was so cheap it's worth taking a flyer on. I'm surprised that no one else (I mean legit company) offers something like these - but while there are ducting solution for 120mm, none of the ones I found were meant to marry them to 4" flexduct. The complaints are on some pretty random stuff - precious metal scrap? Reminds me of those signs you see on the pawn shops saying they buy 'scrap gold'... Like there is such a thing.  you have to be VERY careful with paypal and its complaint window.. i had an ebay order once take a very long time to ship and the seller kept saying it will be soon.. and when i finally complained i missed the deadline and i lost my money.. I totally agree. That's why I submit a complaint the moment the ship date was not met to get the ball rolling. If the seller doesn't like my complaint, that's tough. They should have shipped it when they said they were going to ship it. If they submit a negative feedback on me, eBay will gladly delete the feedback. I've had eBay delete negative feedback for me twice under similar circumstances. So, yes, one must be VERY careful to submit complaints in a timely manner. Never have your bank account tied to PayPal only a credit card. I have found that Discover Card is hands down the best. If your in the right on a problem with a seller bypass PayPal and file your complaint with Discover. They will give you the credit instantly and fight PayPal for you. I was a power seller on EBay and have used PayPal since its start. Trust me you have to protect yourself and never give them access to your bank account. |

You have a broken miner.
Is it just me, or does it seems like the S7's are one of the most problematic Bitmain products ever ?  It only seems to you. 3 broken blades from 99 is not to much. This situation arose for me from one PSU and two times. I have using this setup. 1 x Corsair RM 850 with controller and 1 board Corsair RM1000 with another 2 boards. Corsair RM850 turned itself out and another 2 boards are powered for some hours. If I restarted miner from PSU switches, came from miner hot air and the smell of burnt. I put in there the other miner, with the same PSU-s, and after day was the same with 1 board with another miner. Always the blade(s), which was powered with RM1000 and after that, when RM850 Switch off for some mysterious reason. This RM850 works for me today with 3x Antminer S5 blades water cooled , so perhaps it is not the fault of the PSU He bears the load about 850-885 W However, the conclusion is, use only 1 PSU per miner.I am running my S7 with the RM 1000 and RM 850. The only problem I have is I notice the 850 felt warm and did not see the fan running as both fans only turn on when needed so they are hard to know if the fans are working or not. I went ahead and placed a fan to blow air thru it and it's much cooler now. But they have been running the miner fine for going on a couple weeks+ now. |

Ahh, poor Bitmain. They fix their B1-5 to USD and the price skyrockets. They fix their B6 to BTC and the price drops out. It's a good time to be a buyer folks.
I think you need to remove B1 from the above as most of us paid 7.5-8+ BTC...had to wait weeks pass the shipping date, with no compensation yet. Bitmain had it all his way on B1. |

Hello to all,
Just purchased 188GHs on a ANTS5 miner from Hashnet. Is it a seperate step to join a pool or Am I automatically joined to the Antpool? I would like to join the antpool to try it out. How do I go about doing that?
Thanks in advance

I hate to sound so dumb but are these empty block like dead end roads were you have to turn around after traveling down them and go find another route?
They are blocks that contain no transactions other than the coinbase one to distribute the 25 BTC reward. So, if you had a transaction waiting for confirmation, it's going to wait until somebody else finds a block. To use your driving analogy, it's not like heading down a dead end road - it's more like getting to a traffic circle and just spinning around it a few times before heading off in the right direction.I see you know my wife...  |

So now the rest of the network has to live with pools that don't do their fucking jobs, causing longer transaction confirmation times, because miners are too stupid to stop mining on pools that are actively hurting the network.
So 100% totally this. The real problem is that miners keep right on mining on these pools. AntPool, F2Pool and company care nothing about the network - they care about lining their pockets. I created a thread about empty blocks here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1085800.0. The data is old, but you can see how each pool fares. Just for fun, here's the data on empty blocks since this past difficulty adjustment: AntPool - 27 of its 270 blocks have been empty (yes, that's 10%) F2Pool - 22 of its 341 blocks have been empty (6.45%) Eligius - 2 of its 25 blocks have been empty (8%) BW.com - 5 of its 68 blocks have been empty (7.35%) KnC - 4 of its 96 blocks have been empty (4.17%) Slush - 3 of its 92 blocks have been empty (3.26%) All told since last difficulty adjustment, 1459 blocks have been found. 64 of them were empty blocks (4.39%). I hate to sound so dumb but are these empty block like dead end roads were you have to turn around after traveling down them and go find another route? |

1) upgrade to the latest firmware.
2) Try another PSU
3) Check boards/Fans.
Hope it will help you.
How can I upgrade to latest firmware as I can't even access the machine through IP or LAN. I have checked with several PSU as I got 22 Antminer s7 from first batch. Fans and Boards seem to be working fine but can't access the machine as it doesn't connect to the LAN or doesn't assign the IP to access the interface. Already sent an email to BITMAIN hope to have this solve soon I would think if you are running that many S7 miners you should invest in some of those long controller cables so you could plug a couple miners into one controller in case one goes down as that is what you may very well have. I believe it was said one controller can run up 9 boards or 3 miners. It would help a lot in trouble shooting a problem. How can I connect one controller to different boards or one controller for multiple s7? You should find your answers here... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1173573.0 |

Anyone powered his S7 using only 1 PCi-E 6 per board ?
I have powered them with only 1 cable per board for the last 2 days and they were working fine
Just today I read somewhere that it actually needs all 3 cables per board.
That's over 350W DC for 1 cable. The connectors/pins are only rated for a maxijum of 324W, and those ratings aren't overly conservative given the demanding environments mining puts on them (vibration + high ambient temps). Plug more cables into them, like now... Edit: Plus it violates Bitmain's ridiculous warranty terms... I'm doing 8 total, 2 each to outside boards and 3 to center plus controller. That way I can use 2 dell 750 PSU with 8 cables. Using high quality 16awg cables and breakout boards. No issues. Been monitoring temps of connectors and cables. Avg connect temp is 79F. Miner runs at 55-59c and ambient temp is 69-72F. That would be 175w per cable on the boards with 2 plugged in. Consumer PSU may not handle this since cables are lower gauge and will heat up more. I have dell 750 server PSU also...can you PM where you bought your breakout boards |

Interesting thing I noticed on my Batch 1 order I received a month late earlier this month.
I decided to change the airflow and vent into my garage for the winter since I live in Texas and we don't ever run the heater.
I chassis-connected all nine of my s7's that were delivered weeks after the Chinese holiday. I had noticed that two of the miners were always a little bit lower on 24 hour averages and seemed flaky. I have two miners that will randomly start throwing a mild amount of errors and switchover to my second and third pools, which I never thought much of to be honest.
When I took them all down from their prior mounts and connected them I noticed the rev dates on the hashing boards. I have seven 1.6 version boards, a single 1.5 and a single 1.4 board, guess which ones I am noticing the weirdness from...
Anyone else notice the flakiness from the 1.4/1.5 boards? After waiting for over a month I guess it surprised me that I got the older rev boards from B1.
Ufo
My early B1 is even worst, V1.3. So much for ordering early. 2 of the boards didn't work, later found out they have loose chips. This board doesn't work with controller with later version hash boards. My second B1 and B3 came with V1.7. It does hash at 1.62 TH (running it by itself) on average. This is good information. Do you have to pull the boards to see the revision? I imagine the rear fan has to come off to pull the boards. They are not connected to anything internally. Just the external hash connector and the three pcie. And my middle hash board is not as snug as the other two. I just checked my Batch 1 which was shipped about the 14-15th and all 3 boards are V1.5 and have had no problem to report. I run at 612 freq and get 4.85TH/s |

It seems to me that Bitmain has had time to get things caught up...so I am wondering when the compensation for Batch 1 will start to get taken care of? The longer they wait the higher the BTC they own us is worth.  everything is priced in USD... if bitmain owes any moneys, it will be the USD amount.. correct me if I am wrong..
Dear loyal customers,
We're sorry to inform you that we didn't make the shipment of some orders today as promised. When we did the last spot check, we found some issues which cannot be delivered to you directly, engineers are working on it now and shipment should be arranged before end of next week.
Due to this trouble, we'd like to offer you the compensation following 97.5%*PPS payment according to the total hash rate of miners in order, starting from Oct. 11 Hong Kong Time, till the real shipping out date(which is not included), with electricity cost deducted at the price of $0.098/KWH.
The accounting unit is Bitcoin in the calculating, while USD is considered as a foreign currency. The day to day exchange rate will be get from Bitstamp daily average.
The final payment will be after we have collected your payment address, and we will inform you the way to confirm your receiving address with us.
After collect all the necessary info, we'll process the refund by batches, please wait for update patiently.
Apologize again!

F-d by UPS.
changed the delivery to UPS store and they pushed the delivery to Monday.
I called in and they said that changing to local store changes delivery by one business day.
Is this for real or what? anybody else had the same experience?
bummer...
Did you call or do it on the website using My Choice? On the website it's quite clear that it changes the day as they force you to agree to that when making the change.. If you called it's frustrating if they didn't tell you.. thanks. basically, i did not want to waste part of the day waiting for it. AFTER i made the change (maybe i did not notice the stuff re date as it was not explicit in any way) for the WHOLE day the web site said delivery estimate-FRIDAY, then I called and they were feeding me the same line ("Customer service says that it will be delivered today"). If the first person firmly said that it will be delivered on monday and if you want it today, we can arrange it to go to the hub, then i would be fine with it. Bottom line, i am out of maybe 0.1 BTC, no biggie, it just felt unfair, but I'm over it already. I have redirected the last 4 miners I have ordered. I have a UPS store in town about 2 miles from my house and have experienced no delay due to it. I have always changed the redirect as soon as I knew the package was in the system so I am talking a couple days at least. I can see how it might add a day if you waited to long or if the redirect is way out of the way or a different UPS distribution area. There use to be a $5 cost to have it dropped off at a UPS Store but UPS does not allow the stores to collect it anymore. I am very happy with the service UPS has given me. |
