From latest SEC filing. Predicting $60M revenue for 2016 and generally SP50s in Q1 2016 as long as they can raise more money. I'd be very surprised if this filing wasn't specifically so they can provide the information to more potential investors.


Thanks for sharing was a interesting read.  I'm surprised in Q1 only 500 SP50 is assumed.  Does not sound like a ton of miners but I guess they are massive in hashrate.

Will be interesting to see how correct they are on the number SP50's during Q1. I really want to see their having expectations.  That is the other numbers I want to see what the big companies assume.

It could be interpreted in a few ways but my interpretation is:

  • Building 500 SP50s Q1 @ 10k cost each = need $5m funding
  • Selling 500 SP50s Q1 = $14.6m = $29.2k each after any sales taxes
  • Later on in the year.... deploying 500 SP50s = another $14.6m+ revenue
  • Final $14.4m revenue from selling another 500 units.
  • $18M costs for the year, $15m from unit and amortised chip costs, $3m fixed costs.
So from these numbers it appears that even if they could raise $5M, they're only predicting to make 1,500 SP50s over the year (165PH).

How would one get updated to staff or moderator position on bitcointalk. Does anyone know how this occurs as the administrators have to appoint them?

You have to see a shooting star during a red, full moon, then you become moderator.

The bigger the order the more discount we are likely to get from spondoolies.

At MOQ you'll be getting list price, that's how it works.

Thank you for the fantastic recommendation as I was very hesitant, but one unit is back to life Smiley
I'm glad to hear the trip was worth it.


Sooo, what could I do about the Beagle board and the 2 bad Processor boards in the other unit?  I'd really love to bring it to life if it isn't too costly.
I believe the BeagleBone Black can be purchased off the shelf and the 2 hashing boards are unlikely to be worth any repair costs. Sidehack might be able to give you more information if you send him some pictures.

/ super tech support guy (Zvi). When you lose one of your allstars its always a challenge to replace.

Anyone know where he went? For sure he was a good tech.



I think that he is still consulting SPT, but his main job is with Microsoft (TED team, which is basically ties with open source software-he posted it in main thread).

He said he'd answer a call if they needed help but he's not there there like the 80-100 hours he used to be. On top of MS he's also advising for a startup he started up so he's got more than enough to fill his time.

The threshold for a post to get removed for trolling and for someone to get banned for trolling is very high due to free speech concerns.

...and is certainly dependent on which subforum and moderators are active in that forum.

but that's not the way that it should be, im not saying that you are not in truth, on the contrary, IMHO moderators should act independent of what subforum they are related, i mean this forum have some rules and should be the same for all.

Which is why I think mods should roam or reports be spread out. Too much room for favouritism without any oversight.

Here is some information that I have gathered:

Fan Speed             My Findings
                             S5          S7
65% = 4200   
40% = 3600         3000      3120
35% = 3200         2760      2760
30% = 2800                      2520
25% = 2500
20% = 2000

Quoting for good measure (and for easy reference).

I wouldn't take that as absolute. My 30% is doing 2,640 and 2,520.

Question for S7 -
Bitmain says all three PCIe connectors on each board must be attached.  Does anyone know if miner will work with one open on a board?  In other words is this a hard and fast rule or is this for ideal performance?

I think it's unlikely anybody will publicly state that you can get by with two connections. Anecdotal information suggests that two will allow proper operation most of the time. All three are required to preserve warranty. If you only do two and one of them discolors or melts, then you'll probably be screwed as to warranty.

Also remember that with only two, they need to be high quality cables and connectors. Downclocking is also an option.

As usual, do it at your own risk.
Even though my PSU has 12 PCI-Es, I specifically ran it on 7 to prove the point. As expected there were absolutely no problems for weeks on end, cables remain at ambient.


The fish paper cross section would be parallel to the air flow so any restriction from the fish paper would be very minimal.
I'd much rather do a quick shake test when putting it on the rack than be constantly worried of lose fish paper being eaten by a fan and locking it up.


Please note what PSU you used for this test; otherwise you are falsely indicating that this will be the case with any shitty low end PSU.

I'm not going into it again, its been discussed 100x over. DPS-2000 with <16AWG wiring.

So an HX850 should be fine (?)

In theory. The initial RM750's and RM850's were a bit notorious for running into thermal issues and potentially causing all sorts of havok. I believe Corsair has since replaced the inferior components they were using in the RM series.
RMs initially suffered a derp in which the fan remained too quiet for too long, leading to the PSU reaching thermal shutdown before the fan kicked up and removed the heat.
873  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive Bitmain Antminer S7 Setup [HD] on: October 28, 2015, 08:08:31 PM
That reminds me, what PSU did you use Dogie? I'm looking at either getting one like yours or doubling up on a Corsair 850 modular psu (it weighs as much as a barge, I love it.).
Mine is on a DPS-2000 but that's more to do with the PSU already being on the right shelf than anything. 2x Corsair CX750Ms is the cheapest but requires 2 additional 2xmolex to PCI-E adapters. There isn't really a sensible single consumer PSU option, so 2x of whatever you can get should be okay.


Can a single 110V 15A outlet handle this? Thanks for your help!
110 * 15 * 0.8 = sort of but not really. I don't think officially you should be doing that 24/7 but its your decision.

Hello!  New to the forums.  I have a question if anyone can assist me.

I have someone who offered me two non-working Antminer S4's for $100.  It is about an hour and a half drive from me, so before I drive out there possibly wasting my time I want to see if this is even worth doing. Smiley

He states that they may need new power supply or the beagle board may need to have it's SD-card flashed, though he doesn't have time to troubleshoot.

Is this venture worth it?  What may I possibly have to replace, or anything I should be asking?  I know the information is vague, but I am hoping to gather more on it.

Thanks

Should it be worth it? Most probably, even if you can rescue just 1 PSU its worth ~$100 to other bitcoiners. Controller based problems are either fixable or Bitmain USA should be able to dig you up a replacement if its more complicated than just a BB replacement. Think of it this way: 2 hashing boards, unlikely both have failed. 1 PSU, quite difficult to fail and potential for RMA repair. 4 fans, high rate of failure but replaceable. 1 controller, RMA'able hopefully. 1 BB, off the shelf replacements.

If I were you I wouldn't try and debug when you get there, he may back out of the deal or ask for more money. Anything after that is up to you which is why there is a potential for profit. Have a sniff, you'll know if something smells burnt. Try and locate the source (discretely) and write that part off in your mind.

I buy the psu from bitmaintech

Try 575mhz on the advanced settings page and go back to Antpool.

Those two images don't line up, they're showing different pools to each other. Also, what PSU are you using?

And thank you Bitmain!  Ordered 10-16, Batch 3, shipping today via UPS, I should have it on Thursday.  Only 1 unit, but I've been hurting after selling some S5's to pay for it.

Although it's good to see that bitmain are finally getting their shipping act together, it's very frustrating/annoying that they are shipping B3 orders while many B2 orders remain neglected, mine included.
@ BitmainWarranty/BITMAIN_YHQIN: What is the reasoning behind this? What compensation will you be providing to delayed B2 customers? Why is B3 taking president over B2?

What is your order number, I'll go chase it.
879  Other / Meta / Re: Question About Pot. Activity on: October 27, 2015, 12:22:56 PM
I was wondering, say I have an account with a pot activity of 100+ and the account only has 10 or more post. So I should be able to get all the 100+ activity if I make the 100+ post needed right? What if I delete all the past post? Those 10+ starting points after I make the 100+ posts. Will it make a difference or affect the rank that the account is supposed to have or not? I mean, will I loose all the potential activities or not? Huh

you will lose your potential activity if you deleted those posts specially if each of that post is in different 2 week period. if i remember correctly, i saw someone here with Hero Member rank but his activity is only around 200+ coz i think he deleted so much of his posts. im just not sure if its a bug that he is still a Hero Member afterall

That's just because member ranks aren't updated instantaneously, the script only runs every now and then.
