The same way phisher make fake websites to look like real bank sites or other sites that steal your credentials.  I don't do it so I don't know, but I imagine that it can be done.  I'm not sure if it's a coupon or not, but I can't select a coupon from that page on the Bitmain site.  The only time I can select a coupon to use is during checkout but he doesn't say it's a coupon, just a loyalty discount and if this does exist who even knows if Bitmain allows you to transfer it to another user.   I don't know if it's legit or not, I'm just saying proceed with caution and always use escrow.

So more false advertising that they don't want to correct.  Gotcha!

Yeah sounds fishy to me as well.  A newbie account that gets a 20% off Bitmain loyalty coupon.  I mean sure there's a chance that they just never created an account on the forum but if you're such a big buyer I'd imagine you'd have some kind of history here.  Plus considering that they've been on holiday for the past two weeks I don't think they've been issuing coupons other than the 0.05BTC off batch 10.  Please use escrow if you are thinking of accepting this.  In any case even with a 20% off coupon I don't think there's any ROI on the S7 with the difficulty jumping the way it has and the one coming up.

Any way you look at it it just doesn't look good for home miners or bitcoin in general.

Also back to the thread, I finally got my 4k board and PSU set up.  I'm running two S7s and one under clocked SP20 at about 700w off them and I noticed that with the scythe fans on the 2 4k PSUs the PSU still feels hot to the touch.  They haven't thermally shut down on their own, but I'm just wondering if the scythes are enough and I'm just being a worry wart or not.  I love the 4k over the 2880w but I'm sure I'll love them both once I do a fan mod to the pair of 2880 if I ever get off my ass.

Didn't they come with 12 at one point?



Image in the first post says 6 pairs of 6.

That's some amazing magic they do with the blocks and the restarts!

Just the site.  They are doing a restart and should be back up shortly.  Well it's not really down, the site is up just not reporting stats.  Mining should not be effected.

Pictures like that really make me worry about my equipment catching fire as well.  Sorry to hear about that but glad nothing else caught on fire.  Were you running it at the default frequency?

Morning and congrats on your first block here.  Thank you!

With these difficulty jumps they would have to be some pretty impressive miners and they would have to be very reasonably priced but it's all a vicious cycle.  If they are worthy of buying then so many people would buy them that eventually it will get to the point that the difficulty jumps up to the point that they are no longer profitable.  In the end everything just basically ends up in the same boat.  I hope I'm wrong but that's the way I see things now.

The more we can get now before this next crazy difficulty jump the better!  Of course more blocks after the jump too.

Thanks I managed find a pair finally, but with this crazy expected difficulty increase I may not be able to put much use to them for very long.

Nice I like that a lot not having to have that extra cable hanging out.  Bad enough that the S7 needs 10 PCIe connectors there are enough cables all over the place.

The SP10 does sound like a good deal if only they weren't located so far from me.  Shipping would totally kill it for me and yes I'm not sure what the 1.21 means after the S7 either.

But the S7 comes with PSU as well unless I'm reading it wrong.

And the PSU for the S7. 

I also understand people love Spondoolies but I don't see paying the same price for the SP35 and the S7 since the S7 is much more efficient.  I guess the SP35's rack and stack nicely.

Comparing these numbers to my highest share currently makes me realize how incredibly far off all my equipment is.  I know it's all luck but man this difficulty is getting crazy high.

Pretty sure you asked the same question about his SP20 sale.

Is that 1.75 for both or per?

Really nice setup.  Did you ever decide on selling a 2880 fan kit?
