Agree.

Oh my god.... Zeus really?  They stopped building miners and went to cloudhashing when Gaw was starting their Hashlets.  Soon after they stopped cloudhashing for litecoin... deemed it not profitable.  They teamed up with Rockminer and thats the last we heard from them.  They are too lazy to remove the Volcano info and update their website.  This was all 1 year ago from now. 

Ok. Thanks.

I know GekkoScience is busy filling orders and working out details of your new rig but I think
a new "Lottery Device" say 250gh/s using the BM1384 chip would be be cool.  I have been running my
last S2 on a solo pool but I have to come to grips on turning it off soon after the holiday.  I will be ordering
some usb sticks shortly to fill my hobby needs but wish it were in the plans as a side project.

I'm sure most of us have dreamed of hiding these at our work but be cautious in doing so.  A/C directly will contain moisture as I'm sure the nights will where you live which may damage your miners.  So this is outside?  How are you connecting to the internet?

113f for your ambient....sheesh.  Is this in a garage?  The room/garage itself needs to be vented or box fan near your intake.  Otherwise cooling should be sufficient as long as the dead space behind the S7 fans is at least 1 1/2 ft.  Those fans need some space to output hot air.

Yes, miss your work.  Gone are the day of open air cases, there's just too much heat generated by asic chips.  But keep thinking of
converting your talents to new products.

Firmware and dozens of different manufacturers plague this router field.  Who has ever bought that couple hundred dollar router only to find it connects slower than your previous one?  It's definately not an easy field to be in and not as easy as Bitmain thinks.  They better get their support staff ready.  Too many variables plague the wireless standard.

That's becoming the popular stance all around.  Too bad block erupters aren't profitable anymore.  I wish we could get back those days where anyone could jump in and the sooner you did the better off you were before the spike.  That time was amazing.  We eventually will hit that rush of buying in and sky rocketing prices but now it will take huge investments to make that spike again.  The huge farms have their place in the advancement of Bitcoin but I wish it would have waited a couple years and allowed the home miner more time with asic chip miners.
I'm waiting for the eventual down-turn that will destroy these farms and only the home miner will be able to suffer through before another jump.
The S7 is amazing staying at the 28nm process but overpriced and that will hurt individual sales but will be great second hand gear.

I have one hooked to my S4 and the high whine can be heard above the S4 fans.  I believe the back 2 fans on the S4 are the same used on the S5.  So yes it can be heard. 

I have a Lepa 1600W psu in near new condition complete with box and all cables.  Was holding out for powering more miners but haven't used this for 4 months.

                 

Meech

Thanks for hosting this and all that participated.

So would taking orders/payments on 8/30 and shipping 9/21-30 (+10) constitute good business.  I know they always come through but really, just come out and say "preorder".

I wouldn't be too alarmed by the x's.  Reset once.  If that doesn't fix things swap the ribbon cable to another port.  If it still shows x's on that new board # it still can be the psu.  Make sure your power feeds are tight.  And yes this trouble shooting is all safe and listed at Bitmains Zendesk.

One S4 is about as loud as 2 S2's or 4 S3's.  They definately belong in a garage. 

Some of us would prefer a smaller design but of course I'm sure that is already in the works.  If Sidehack scores some of these chips we could see one by x-mas hopefully.

I was guessing around $1300 and @6th.  Seems lack of competition allows Bitmain free reign.  But at least they release new product continually albeit the interum one, two punch in the face like the S5+.  Tempting but the the Btc earned daily stays almost constant with each release.  No big leap in progress but the efficiency.  Good job anyway Bitmain on the progress.

Leave your tasteless comments out of the threads and yes I have a kill-a-watt, 3 exactly and a sound meter.  My S4 is fixed now, thanks to Yoshi.  What have you offered on the forums with your wisdom? 

Your pics lack the asic status.  Are all asics showing o's, any - or x's.  I do believe there is an updated firmware version you could upload to the S4.

My only troubles I had pointed to the psu which can easily be the cause of everything.  What does the front panel screen show it hashing at?

Read through it and saw no reference to bitcoin mining.  Fpga yes, but that was used just before asics.
