thats weird. but just looking at the price, wouldnt a batch 8 be better ? Maybe Batch 3 is on hand and ready to ship because they were available for the orders that weren't shipped? Batch 7 and 8 won't arrive for about 1 month or more. So a Batch 3 arriving by the end of next week should be a better. Guys you won't get a batch 3 order if you place your order now through that link.. Bitmain told me about this glitch and said look at the web URL and its date, and the shipping dates. It's an error on their part as they forgot to take down the page. i was wondering the same about batch 7 because when ordering it was named: "Batch 7-sold out" |

I saw that some are using this PSU EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 G2 1300W for their S7. How's it working out?
fantastic-no probs so far, but you need two PCIe extenders that you connect to singles and then balance the load. I do it it the following way: first row: Position 1 and 2-two connectors from double headed red cable, Position 3-one connector from a "single" that was split with an extender cable second row: Position 1 and 2-two connectors from double headed red cable and Position 3-second connector from an extender third row: Pos1-single red cable, Pos2-single red cable, Pos3-first connector of the second extender connected to a single red cable Controller-second connector of the second extender I bought extenders from either Startech (they are 50% more expensive, but connect very snugly) or Jacobs parts-those do the job, but sometimes take a few seconds to fit them. Both are 18 awg, which is enough for the task. Startech-$6/cable Jacobs parts-$3.95/cable on amazon -search for "PCIE split cables" |

What is the safest standard markings good to use for S7s?
Can I use this: 10Amp 18AWG ?
markings? you mean PCIe cables or power cable? if you talking about PCIE (12v) or power cables (110/120V), here is the relevant reference: http://www.rowand.net/Shop/Tech/WireCapacityChart.htmget to the bottom of that page it says: at 12V 20awg 8amp max per wire, but PCIe has two, so 8X2X12=192W as far as wire carrying capacity is concerned. 192X9=1728W, much more than 1210W S7, so according to this, even 20awg wire is OK, but most good ATX PSU have at least 18 gauge wire (can carry 10A ea at 12V) at 110V 20awg-only 7.5A, so you need 14-16awg power cable, 18awg is too low as 1250w/110v=11.36A, which exceeds 10A limit for 18awg cord. You get half a current at 220V though. |

just shows that there are no "real" batches between 1-5. They all have 9/15 software, BTW, and that includes "Batch 5". One would think that if a miner was produced in the last two weeks, 10/23 software would be loaded, right? |

Yeah, it looks like greed got the better of a few people at the top. That and the fact that the price of coins tanked right after the release of the SP20. I got the 15 unit special for $5000 w/ free shipping in January and I can still sell the units used for more than I bought them for. I heard they lost money on that deal and it was the last time they have built a miner as far as I know.
To be totally honest I'm almost positive that the SP50 is never going to be finished. I'll believe it when I see a picture of a real one working, not the 3d mock-up and untested theoretical numbers. Its going to be a lot harder to make a perfect working model than most think. Not that they can't, I just don't think that given what I know so far that they ever will.
If nothing else I give SP lots of love for things like that SP20 special. It is rather rare you can mine with a machine for basically a year and still sell it for what you paid for it. That sure addresses everyone's #1 (and pretty much only) concern of making money... BTCS right now has a market cap of $18,469,000. How is that even possible? Not a bad setup, loose millions and still be worth tons... Well, for now at least... market is discounting the probability of them getting 5-10 mil, finishing SP50 and getting 5-10% hashing share for 12 mo afterwards. If it happens, i can see them easily getting 30-40 mil EBITDA. |

First of all, I have absolutely NO accusations, just trying to understand how the calculations work, seriously, so please don't take offense.
That said, I don't think that you explained this, at least not at the level I assume most will understand.
What exactly is an estimated change? Estimated change, i suppose, by common definition of the word is something that happened ALREADY, right?
So, how estimated change can go down EVEN if one miner is disconnected? How did future affected the past, unless this word means something else in this context.
Still, manual payout at point B (today) was exactly the same amount that miner earned at point A ( EDIT: actually at 12:43 this morning, sorry), which is OK If no blocks were solved between 12:43am and 3:27 pm. I don't know this for a fact, but assume that it is correct-you can confirm it if you want.
Then the question is: if remaining miner was hashing during this 14 hour period AND estimated change went backwards (less at point B then at point A), then WHERE did its hashing go?
Bottom line- I have the same miner pointed to your pool; I would have left if i thought that something is purposefully wrong.
I just looked for some clarification, no need to be upset, really.

i still think that this is just a software glitch especially with forwarding, because someone had to either hack into your computer or router and if so, you have bigger problems than just a miner.
also, when you say...stole a miner...do you mean that your miner seized to hash to your pool and was hashing to another address?
if yes, then it was hacked (unless it defaulted to factory settings), if no, then just a software glitch.
I don't think it was a software glitch because at the same time it stopped hasing on the pool I chose, I belive it was set to mine somewhere else  OK, but then look at that reddit that the OP just posted-you might have bigger problems than just a miner. It is possible that your computer and router are compromised as well. |

You're not the only one , who is happy. I am also happy when they do not produce this super monsters or they come too late. I am also happy, that I sold all of 17 x SP20 and when Spondoolies are sold spare parts at normal prices , then I'd bought a controller for SP20 and get one more sales. Now I have a beautiful SP20 empty shell and rare fan, for some miner projects. I actually feel saddened by this putative demise which, hopefully, will not happen. I enjoyed my SP20s very much with all tuning that was possible. |

Alright... I busted out the heavy duty duct tape this time and got the web server back online  The bubble gum I used last time dried up and broke  Jokes aside, web server should be up and fine for now. Admittedly I've just done a temporary fix and will work on a long term solution to the issue probably this weekend. Keep in mind, as always, that the web server and the pool servers are completely independent of each other and the pool servers rarely have any issues since I've worked pretty hard to get the pool back end stable. The web server side of things has no access to any of the pool servers and just receives copies of the relevant data to its database pushed from the pool servers. It runs on slightly outdated hardware that I'm working on updating as well to improve performance. Thanks everyone! On a side note, I'm looking to do a site and stats visual overhaul to get Eligius's web-side of things to be as good as the the back end. Unfortunately front end stuff is not my area of expertise. If anyone is skilled in that area and is willing to volunteer some time to help with the overhaul please let me know. Specifically I'm wanting to just make the site a real site without relying on obscure URLs for stats and such. eligius.st/stats or stats.eligius.st with a visual look that fits the rest of the site kind of like Gateway69 was volunteering with the drupal powered current front page. He's been MIA for a while. I'm not fond of drupal or most preexisting content management systems. Basically I just need some help with a template that I can integrate the stats into along with the main web page data easily and I can take it from there to whip up one nice integrated site. I think it's LONG overdue. Thanks in advance! yes, this would be nice, otherwise statistics that web site shows is very puzzling, especially with manual payouts. Example: 20:31 pm (yesterday) as of last block 0.1844.... btc. eligius pool at 8866th estimated change +0.0249.... btc 3:27 pm (today) manual payout exactly the same the number that was at 20:31 pm yesterday eligius pool at 8785th estimated change +0.0134.... btc Question-where is all the hashing that miner did since 20:31 pm went? Estimated change is lower (by 50%) than 17 hours ago. Also, why it hangs out and does not automatically payout at around 0.04-0.05 BTC? EDIT: the fact that site statistics presentation was puzzling to me does not mean that I thought that something is inappropriate. |

if yes, then it was hacked (unless it defaulted to factory settings), if no, then just a software glitch.
To my understanding the OP port forwarded his miner so that he could access it and check on it from anywhere. All it would take for someone to hijack the miner would be to log in with the default credentials ( root/root ) and then they could change anything they want. The OP wasn't able to login to his miner since the default login would have been changed by the person who hijacked it. I don't think it's a software bug, if there was a bug like that in the firmware I suspect we would have heard about it already, and have others complaining about similar issues, but I think the fact that the OP mentioned that it was port forwarded and using the default logins is a dead giveaway that it was hijacked and the login details were changed. i agree, but the test is whether it was still hashing to OP account or not. If not, then i could/would believe that it was truly hacked. Also, I am not familiar with port forwarding, but wouldn't you need some kind of access to OP computer or at least router to do this? |

I am curios about two things:
1. what is that little board compacs on the left are connected to before going into the hub? can't buy it anymore. it is a y-cable in board form and it was built to fit those hubs.
2. the DROK is connected to other plugs. I thought that you have to connect compac to DROK, then DROK to hub in order to measure. Am I wrong about it?
I was reading my port voltages not amps I wanted to know how much the power supply drops.
Ah, OK, thanks. |

I have bought 2 antminer s7's on ebay and they both seem to be doing well. I do notice that one of them seems to have a loose board in the middle. When I go to unplug a 6 pin pcie from the middle hashing board the board moves upwards a little. Is this normal? How are these things held together in there? I have all o's and my temps are normal so I am just curious if anyone else has noticed this?
Paul
Yes, i had exactly the same with my B1, but it was the right board. Hashing was not affected in any way. Just be careful connecting the PCIe connectors. Hold the board with the other hand when disconnecting, I would suggest. Incidentally, why did you buy on ebay paying 400-500 more when they are available here for less? I would be interested in having more info on "here", I need to buy another one very soon. here=Marketplace of btctalk, hardware section https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=75.0here is one or two  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1251378.0 |

How hot do they seem to get running at the 281 for a period of time? It seems like they would get kinda hot.
Thanks for sharing nice to see it.
If you have a good fan you can do freq 350. here are 4 sticks at freq 200 http://imgur.com/aJnQpOehttp://imgur.com/Vk1Tu3tthese don't need the fan  notice the stud hub and both bridge type and y-cable for plenty of power in the picture below: the y-cables seem to work well up to freq 300  Hi were did you pick up those bridge type connectors (not the Y cables) thanks! |

Yeah I just did that, thanks I'm still amazed how someone stole my miner just like that Oh well,lesson learned, don't leave miners with factory password It could that or it probably overheated and lost settings. This happened to me with S1 and recently with one S7. I did not even reset anything, just did a hard reboot. People were stealing stuff from S1 because it used less secure (old) cgminer version. BTW, S1 in march of 2014 was producing twice as much BTC/day as S7 does now, bitcoin price was two-two and a half times as much as now and machine price (S1) was three times less. How does this compute? HOWEVER: I think that there ARE people on btctalk which try to load some crap to your computer. This is for sure. |

Bumping
Both B4 and B5 are successfully hashing now, same price
B4 $1850 (~5.7BTC right now)
B5 $1950 (~6 BTC right now)

All I will say if that if folks on the forum are looking for a real assessment of the filings they need to get someone qualified to review them to weigh in...
I have experience as a financial analyst for a Fortune 500 company... While dogie's analysis is horrendous as far as the numbers go, his assessment of the situation appears quite accurate. Well, I am not a "financial" person but looking at free EDGAR is seems that Sidie sold to Allen 16.8 mil shares on 9/3/2014 (out of ~24 mil that he had) for $0.0033/share (.33 c/share) or ~55K, which is, of course, a far cry from $4mil. A strange transaction. Was BTCS (or a parental company) almost bankrupt at that time? |
