Those are not bitcoin blocks, probable a new low diff coin.

I was wondering the same thing after seeing the "best shares."

On the Chinese page, I Bing translated the following on S7 for sell there:

Ant mine S7 third instalment sale, shipment date is December 02-December 12, the price is 2500 per t, order order, may be shipped in advance. Ant mine S7 using the 28 nanometer full custom IC BM1385. Count 4.46T, 1160 w power consumption, dual fan, separate heat sink.

Translated specs:

1. is rated: 4.05 TH/s
2. power on the wall: 1042 w +10% (bit-city, APW3-1600-Watt power supplies, AC/DC 93% efficiency, 25 ° c ambient temperature)
3. power: 0.25 j/GH (wall, AC/DC 93% efficiency, 25 ° c ambient temperature)
4. rated voltage: 12V ± 5%, should not be less than 12.0V
5. chip size: 135 BM1385
6. dimensions: 301 mm (l) *123 mm (w) *155 mm (h)
7. cooling: 2x12038 fan
8. working temperature: 0 ℃ to 40 ℃
9. network connection: Ethernet

I just think it's odd it says, 4.6 TH/s @ "1,160" watts on the Product page.  Then you click the product (S7) and the specifications say, 4.05 TH/s @ "1042" watts

I wonder how long we will have to wait before we see a picture or for someone not worried about Warranty to take one apart?

Probably at least 90 days after warranty.  I'll open mine up after 90 days for sure to have a look.

In prospect I prefer the spec of the 135 Chip system as I think it will be less on edge and will provide more scope for Under & Over Clocking and Volting.

Agreed.  I can see these remaining in the game a long time.  IMHO.

In the meantime we will continue to speculate, which is of course a major facet of this game.  Smiley

Agreed   Grin

Jury is still out on exactly what they have done, however I think it is highly unlikely that they would use multiple board types. These were my thoughts on the 135 chip Batch 6.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1219211.msg12902245#msg12902245
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1219211.msg12911092#msg12911092

However for me the big outstanding issue is if this is a 15 Node chain with a resultant 0.8V Core Voltage, what has really happened to the Power Consumption & J/GH?


Rich

That's my main question as well.  More chips equals less voltage dropped across each while achieving more hashing power from more chips.  Less chips equals more voltage drop across each chip but with less hashing power because of fewer chips.  One can't help but wonder if this rig is going to be 0.8V Core Voltage with 12 Volts Source Voltage.

It will be interesting to see the performance level from those who receive them who will share in the forum.  I almost bought a couple of them but held off.  Mainly because I want to see the actual performance before taking the plunge.  I believe I'm still diving in regardless.  I just want to see what I'm actually getting before I purchase.

But if it goes offline at random times and there is no fix, I will apply for RMA.

Beeping is a sign of losing internet or pool connection. What pool are you on and what backup pools?

first two are mininingrigrentals and kano as the third backup.

but why it randomly goes offline?

is this being fixed with firmware?



btw just got a dual-wan router installed Cool
DSL and cable, so i think internet is not the problem

I've been looking into getting one myself lately.  Which one did you get if you don't mind me asking?

LOL   Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Good one!  You got me there!

Unfortunately, I did not get any of batch 6.  I almost bought a couple of them but decided to wait until next month.  Hopefully, my patience will not serve me wrong.

@ all the replies to the slapfight, hahah guys. Maybe I did get a little riled about posting an opinion and getting my ass chewed off. It was unexpected. I guess I poked the troll. Ignored in perpetuity now, won't happen again.  Wink


I learned a lesson in this "slap fight" as well.  I've learned it's not even worth my time getting into one or starting one.  I'm probably more to blame for it getting started if in fact your statement was truthful about only mentioning it because you wouldn't spend that amount of money on it.  I probably took it the wrong way, unfortunately.

Forgive me for taking it the wrong way, hodedowe.

By the way, I'm not a "troll." And no, you're not ignored in perpetuity.

Thanks for the heads up on the APC PDU, wolfen!  Definitely worth getting that particular PDU "used" than getting the Tripp Lite "new."

Let's put this behind us, hodedowe.

Have a good evening, Sir.

Yep I'm an authority, and I'm still not sure what you are deluding yourself about.

In your head you are an authority (and I am quite happy for it to be there).... believe me, more than a few people know what you pass off to be an authority at, and they don't blow their trumpet as countenance to support blatant lies the way you do. And I am not surprised you are lost in your own web of lies, you nincompoop.
You, kano, are nothing .... nothing at all in the grand scheme of things cpuminer, capish?

Dude, you are like a little girl in elementary school who makes pointed accusations [Without any proof] in an effort to gratify your own selfish and meaningless existence.  It's quite obvious who is making a fool of themselves on here.  You've been owned.  Plain and simple...

Again, I think you read the entire first comment with the wrong tone. You're having an aneurysm over my saying I could never justify that type of expense - and this is from a guy that makes over $240k/year. If you want to, that's fine. Do it. But don't try to rip me a new one because you're having a bad day. If you can't play nice, play somewhere else.


And @wolfen, fantastic stable product. Amazon has them for 89 bucks too. I fiddled with three of those while contracting for an AFB in Georgia a few years ago.

LOL, Now I've got to be having a bad day?  Really?  I'm at home with my 4 year old son.  I work when I want to [For the most part].  I'm far from having a bad day, Sir.

You are trying to justify the "laughing face" you put on your original response to me by being condescending and without giving any input in that response as to a potential easier and/or cheaper way of accomplishing what I'm wanting to do.  How am I supposed to take it?  Am I supposed to laugh too?  Then [After realizing your lack of tactfulness in your first response] you follow up with two other responses that are condescending in "tone."  I honestly believe your second response would have sufficed [Without the sarcasm of course].

Anyway, I'm done with this.

Have a good day, Sir.

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. What I said was opinion - I could never justify it. I clicked on the link thinking it'd be ~$300 USD. It wasn't. I was surprised.

Enjoy your remote power switch. Oh, and just to make matters worse, you can do the same thing with an Arduino and about $30 worth of parts AND operate it with your cell phone.

Diff'rent Strokes for Diff'rent folks.


Then why the hell could you not give your opinion on how to do it more affordably in a way that does not mock someone for the feature they seek to have?  No, you decided to put a "laughing" face in the forum to mock me with no advice given at all of a cheaper way to do it.

Instead, you decide to be an asshole on top of that with these stupid ass short video comments.  Why such an arss?

Also, you are talking about getting some kind of circuit board or some shit and add $30 in parts onto that?  How much for the Arduino to go along with the $30 worth of parts?  What else is involved with connecting it to the PDU?  I also prefer to control only the PSU I want to control that is connected to the PDU.

I have eight AP7911 apc network remote switched metered 30 amp pdus with a L6-30P plug.
They work great.
About $100 shipped on ebay.
They were $1000 new.
Web interface.
Two 15 amp circuit breakers.
The display shows one 15amp leg, then the other, then the total switching every 5 seconds.
I don't know why they stopped making them but they are the bomb.


Thank you for your input.  I'll have to look into this on eBay.
1532  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S7 is available at bitmaintech.com with 4.86TH/s, 0.25J/GH on: November 11, 2015, 02:31:26 PM
Yeah, as soon as BTC went below $300 USD they all disappeared at around $1200 each lol. No surprise there.

Hopefully the next batch won't be gimped like this one was.


Also, that Tripplite is $700 bucks! OH MY GOSH!!! I'd never be able to justify that for an extension cord, even if I lived 30 minutes from my miners.  Cheesy

$628.00 [That includes shipping costs]; not $700.  One of these PDU's for every 5 x S7's  So, about $123.00 additional cost for each S7.  It will only be paid this one time.  Meaning, this is not additional costs every time I "replace" rigs with new rigs.  Plus, my mind is more at ease when I'm on the road training telephone technicians.  It's a cost I'm willing to pay.  If you have no need for this capability, great!  As for myself, I have a need for "an extension cord" that one can log into via the internet to turn off and back on any PSU I select whenever I need to.  So, what the hell is so funny?   "Cheesy"  

We could do without trying to make fun of someone who has specific needs and spending extra money to provide those needs.  Sorry, if your budget does not allow for this particular feature I actually need.  My needs demand it in my budget.  I'm WAY more than 30 minutes from my rigs when I'm away.  I'm as much as 1,750 miles away at times.  I have some training classes coming up during the first quarter of 2016 that will have me 775 miles away for 4 weeks.  I will also be playing poker for 2 weeks at another location during the first quarter.  So, I could do without your vain attempts to mock me for trying to make my situation more manageable.

If anyone could provide an answer to my question in my original posts, I would appreciate it.

"(agency de-rated to 24 amps)."  Does this mean I (the agency) have the option to "de-rate to 24 amps" or does it mean it's limited to 80% (24 Amps) period and cannot be changed to like 83.5 percent?
1533  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S7 is available at bitmaintech.com with 4.86TH/s, 0.25J/GH on: November 11, 2015, 01:45:44 PM
I'm well up on identifying and locating electrical troubles on low voltage and high voltage circuits.  However, I'm not up on networking in data centers.  So, I have a question for those of you with experience in data centers about PDU's.

I have my eyeballs on getting Tripp Lite PDU's that are "switched."  I want the ability to monitor and manage what is plugged into them while I'm away at times.  I'll use Team Viewer to log into my rigs and PDU's.  Sometimes, there is a need to turn off the power to a rig that is non-responsive in my browser.  I just had that issue this evening and had to power it down and back up again to access it in my browser.  My question is the following about a particular model PDU I'm wanting to stock up on.

The specifications on this 30 Amp PDU states the following:  "(agency de-rated to 24 amps)."  Does this mean I (the agency) have the option to "de-rate to 24 amps" or does it mean it's limited to 80% (24 Amps) regardless?

Here is a link to the PDU:  http://www.tripplite.com/switched-pdu-30a-208v-240v-0u-vertical-c13-c19-outlets-nema-l6-30p-single-phase~PDUMV30HVNET/

I have a bunch of TrippLite PDU's, and I must say I'm very disappointed with them - I run everything 240v, and their power control for switching the outlets is only on half of the circuit, meaning they only have a relay on one of the legs of the 240v connection.  What this means is if your PSU is 120v/240v tolerant, it has a good chance that it will NOT turn off when you toggle an outlet - it will just switch to 120v.  Here's what's even worse - many of the server-grade PSU's, like the IBM 2880W, that is supposed to be only 240v, will continue to work when a leg drops - so even most of the server PSU's continue just fine.  Basically make remote rebooting completely worthless with them.  They may have corrected this with newer models, but I was pretty pissed when I picked up 20 of their higher end ones with environmental monitoring, only to discover they are hardly better than a glorified power strip.


You should have a factory warranty if you bought yours new.  I take it you did not call Tripp Lite or get back with the seller to see about setting up a return and/or replacement? After calling Tripp Lite, you may find it could have been user error.

Is there anyone else who can answer my question about "(agency de-rated to 24 amps)" ?

You got a big mouth (and fat fingers to boot). If you seek honest opinions, you can not then decide how that opinion is delivered or it becomes your opinion. So now I know why you hang on to your "class" thing, you actually have none and crave it. So, get a life!

Just to underline this short exchange, it is foolish, bordering on stupidity (if not total madness) to compare slush with these small pools that on end try to lure miners from slush (I have to say without success ... albeit the gullible dimwits, pun intended).

You need help.  Seriously... Pun intended.

Come off it .... you surely can take some honest feedback! But hey, what does it take to get negative feedback? Want some?

But yes, mention slush in the same breath as those crap pools and stupidity can not be that far from your door, dare I say negative feedback too? (apparently you have class ... keep up the delusion).

You call cursing at people and calling them stupid being "honest feedback?"
I neither called you stupid nor cursed (at) you, but yes, that was honest feedback. It is utter stupidity to mention that pool in the same breath as slush .... no doubt. And yes, you have no class.

Keep showing your true colors with your negative connotations.  Hence, the negative feedback.  You lack class.  Period.

I could accept listening to "honest opinions" if they were delivered tactfully without implications that someone is "stupid" for bringing it up.  Get some class and maybe, just maybe, you'll get some respect along with it.

That kano pool is a shitty pool no doubt, and I do not need anyone to affirm that fact as I have mined there and have empirical results from then.... I am also sure the droves that have abandoned it are testament to that. On the other hand, despite all the crap being lobbed at slush (even during the BIP101 storm), slush keeps growing in hashrate, users, ux, communication et al.

But that anyone has the nerve to come on a slush thread and mention that crap pool in the same breath as (even as an alternative to) slush is utter madness bordering on stupidity. You jumop ship because of an invalid block here and there .... wait till you get one on that crap pool with its puny hash ... that'll teach you a lesson.

I'll avoid the derogatory comments and cursing, sir.  I see why you have the negative feedback.  No class.  

Also, it's a free internet.  I'll speak how I want to speak just as you speak how you want to speak.  However, at least I will do it with class.

Try to have a good day, Sir.

Still the invalid blocks we keep hitting pisses me off

Try CKPool at kano.is  They are set up to handle many miners with very few orphans/invalid blocks.  Unfortunately, most are into the bells and whistles of Slush Pool.  If you set up an account at CKPool and log in, you will see they have added quite a few "bells and whistles."  You do not see the new added features until you create an account.  Those features are not marketed on the home page though.  If they were to market all of their features, they might have more miners join.

That's a rip-off pool! I'd advise anyone not point any hash at it, and there's a good reason why there is barely anyone mining there .... basically, a crap pool. I mined there for over a month non-stop but never reached the so called n-th range to earn the maximum from the hash I had there (despite the range being on average 7 days at the time). Basically, that shitty pool has so many restarts and outages (if not buggy code to boot too) that you can never get paid your max earnings ... not to mention any dust earnings that may be got while ramping up also find their way to pool operator's wallet!
No bells and whistles (that they might have added) can be a substitute for honest code and operators, and they are simply there to lure the gullible with the intention to bamboozle you, whereas the ones on slush have evolved over time ..... backing up what is un-doubtedly a solid, honest pool.

Don't get me wrong.  I'm not saying Slush is dishonest at all.  I've spent most of my time mining here.  However, I've since moved to another pool about 3 days ago.  I'm just tired of the invalid blocks.  Same goes for other pools with excessive invalid blocks.

As for CKPool being a "... shitty pool with so many restarts and outages... dust earnings going to operator's wallet, etc..." I'll pass on that kind of conversation.

Have a good day, Sir.
