About 160 addresses are left.
How about the current status, dev? Could you share some more detail information about the participants, when airdropping? Just under 100 addresses are left. Anyone who sent in their address is eligible once they met our requirements. Launch is November 4th. So everyone should get their tokens then. Are you going to release the list who made the cut? This token is very promising as it is a self mining smart contract -type. But considering this, why it is that it is not gaining so much attention from the community? Normally, within few hours, the list will be already in thousands from what I observed. But hopefully, this will develop into something else like the minereum token which I haven't got.  Those who made the cut can query the smart contract with their address. We have high hopes that our project will be successful. That's a good question, maybe people are focusing on the bitcoin fork for now lol. Thank you for the update. Im hoping if someone can tell me the difference of this from the minereum project cause for me it has no difference this is the erc23 more flexible than erc20. Dev could build something that erc20 could not do. that what i guess |

Hi Everyone. I just need a bit of advice if possible. Just received my latest S7 and 1 of the 3 blades is throwing out an insane amount of HW errors. So far I have tried swapping the PSU from a bitmain 1600 to an EVGA 1600 and it still has the same issue, I have also checked for loose heatsinks and no issue there either, the other 2 blades on the machine are hashing really well with very low error rates pretty much none to be honest. I have posted a screen of the 1 blade hashing on its own, as I tested all 3 one by one. The blade does eventually stops hashing after around an hour or so, then when restarted its perfect for around 4-5 minutes and then dumps a ton of errors in one big go, the temp of the machine also seems to make no difference, from running at 40c - 60c, as I have tested every possible scenario and can't seem to figure out why. I have listed what I have done so far testing wise below. Reduced frequency Tested in cold environment Tested in warm environment Tested 2 different working PSUs Changed the 8pin signal cable Tested a different port Checked for loose heatsinks Changed the Ethernet (Clutching at straws with this one  ) I understand it may need RMA but if this issue can be resolved by myself it would be easier, as although bitmain support do eventually get issues resolved I understand it can take some time for the turnaround.  |

Im not a happy customer at all. We sent 2x S7 hashing boards for warranty replacement well over 6 weeks ago at out own cost. They agreed to replace both but it took them 4 weeks to admit they had received them. The 2 replacements boards were sent a week ago and have arrived but they have sent incorrect parts  They have sent 2x S5 hashing boards instead of the S7 boards expected, im really pissed off now im fed up of being polite with Bitmain as they have been pissing me about for well over 4 weeks now. How the hell do I get this resolved, not only have they sent me 2x S5 boards they are in terrible condition, very messy with burn marks on them I have put pictures below of what's arrived. In retrospec, i didnt have any issues with Antminers so far, but considering how such of a pain they are to deal with. I dont think i'll be buying anything brand new from them until they fix customer service and probably base it somewhere not in China. To be honest I have not had an issue in the past, I have been buying antminers and spondoolies tech machines since the S1, bitmains support has normally been ok and I have spoke with Sherry and she always seems prompt and polite, but they seem to unnecessarily drag things on and now they have sent me the incorrect boards which means I assume another wait for them to send the correct ones. Its just unfortunate that I feel as a paying customer I should expect a slightly better service and hope they can resolve this quickly. I also admit bitmain zendesk support has been really efficient and helpful in the past, its just when dealing with this issue it has really got me angry. |

Hi Everyone.
So normally I wouldn't rant about support topics, But I have 2 major issues I have been trying to resolve over the last few days with no joy.
Now I will start by saying bitmain have normally been really good and solve issues quickly, but I don't seem to be getting anything resolved at the moment so any advice would be much appreciated.
The first issue I have is that my latest S7 that is currently sat in customs has an invoice attached saying the value of the 1x S7 is $30,000 and they want £5000 for the VAT.
Now as far as im aware the S7 I ordered should be valued at $1650 but it seems that there has been some sort of admin error on bitmains side, I did receive an email from bitmain stating that we needed to pay our VAT or the machine would be sent back to them, I advised them of the issue and they sent over the correct invoice to me, but Fedex have request an explanation from bitmain and a copy of the invoice directly from them, so far fedex has not received a response and neither have I.
The next issue im having is with one of our current S7 machine from batch 5 has an issue, I checked all my machines the other day and noticed a very strong electrical burning smell and noticed 2x hashing boards had gone down.
I assume they have died but cannot check as there is a warranty sticker over the machine that I do not want to touch without the permission from bitmain, So far I have emailed info@ sent a message through zendesk and also messaged zendesk when live support was available and have so far received no response.
I feel a little ignored and for the first time in 2 years im annoyed at the way Bitmain is dealing with my issues, we have easily spent well over $30,000 with them, not much compared to some bigger miners but enough to think they would as least help.
Like I said I have been more than happy with Bitmain products and there support in the past, but feel very ignored at the moment, and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
The thing that really bothers me about the S7 is the new Bitmain warranty policy stating that if anything burns on the board, there is no warranty. It's likely that they wanted to avoid replacing boards overclocked/modded, but it also prevent honest users like you, who either got bad luck, or falling heatsinks (engineering failure) for example, to get warranty. I hope they will reconsider it, at least for the defects caused by falling heatsinks. If I'm not mistaken, on a batch 5, there shouldn't be any buck converters, unlike the 135 chips units. So the most likely dead components are an asic, a capacitor, or one of the small LDOs creating the communication voltages (usually 1.8v). You can start by shaking the unit to check if you hear a something like a heatsink that went loose. If that's the case, you can remove one fan without losing the warranty to confirm. You can try to negociate with them if it's a heatsink issue because there is no way they can take you as responsible for it. Other burnt parts can be caused either by a user overclocking the unit to death, or simply by one bad component in a batch, so it's a bit harder. If they are totally out of warranty, I'd be interested to grab one board shipped to France for experimenting. Even though Bitmain's policy states no warranty for burned boards, Bitmain replaced 2 of my burned boards from B1 for free including shipping both ways. I didn't open the miner on my own, I emailed them that two of the boards don't hash. They asked me to open the miner and check the boards. I found loose heatsinks and burn marks. Turnaround time was less than a week after I mailed the boards. This is a good example of customer service by Bitmain. I hope to see more experiences like this shared on the forums. While I do not like to see bad experiences we need to hear about those as well, but if you are having a reasonable response such as this, please make sure you share it! It shows improvements by bitmain, and we need to know. Please tell us the step by step. Who you contacted and how, and who took care of your issues, sent the RMA, etc. It may help others immensely. Thank you for sharing. I am impressed the way Bitmain handled my warranty claim. I sent an email to info@bitmaintech describing the issues I was having, only 1 out of 3 boards worked out of the box. Wrote order number and problem on the subject line. Also added type of power supply I was using, in this case a Bitmain 1600 watter, sent a picture of input voltage with a voltmeter just in case. Got a reply from Sherry Liu, she asked if I opened the miner yet, if not open and inspect. I found loose heatsinks and burn marks on the boards after opening up the miner. I sent pictures to Sherry. She approved the RMA and sent me prepaid shipping labels. Note because of time difference it is not fair to expect a reply within an hour or two, wait at least 24 hours or longer depending when you sent your email. After shipping out the boards, replacement boards were at my doorstep in 7 days. I ordered more than 10 S7s from Bitmain and this is the only S7 that gave me trouble, they are all hashing at their advertised speed or faster. Also it is good to be polite, I am sure Bitmain didn't mail a defective miner, things get rough during shipping. my case is also handled by sherry, yes i agree be patient with her, but she does reply within 24 hours or so & she even replies after office hours. once she replied me past 9pm china time. now it's my turn to wait. package is clearing customs. let's see what does bmt engineers say. miners not oc'ed at all. i hope it gets fixed or replaced asap. Sorry for the late reply, Been away with family over Christmas. Sherry has now emailed me back and seems to be sorting the issues out for me  Was a little bit worried and thanks for everyone's input, Hopefully the customs issue will be resolved soon along with the 2 dead blades which I have now confirmed to be 2x loose heatsinks on both blades, the 3rd blade looks perfect. Fingers crossed all goes well, and hope everyones had a great Christmas/Holiday season. |

So I have decided to overclock one of my machines, Just to see, and well I would like some feedback, Temps are good, the error rate is good but what are peoples thoughts on the maximum safe frequency. Or do people think this is already too far, Im not going to run this for long but would like to test for 24 hours with this machine, My ambient temps are low (8c-14c) and im using 2x EVGA 1300w gold PSUs on this one machine.  |

Just thought i would update everyone, btcjam closed my listing, as it wasnt descriptive enough.
Seems to me I should have just asked for the loan, and not given the real reason for needing the replacement items.

Where is your BTCJam request? Link please.
Do you have collateral?
Please write the below text onto a paper and put it near your Bitcoin miners. Take a photo and post here.

I have put a few images below, I have also put one of my guard chickens, Cant see how the thief got past them  Also the amount i wanted to loan was 3BTC and Im open to % offers, although there is also a % amount on my BTCjam account. The loan is being used to replace the monitor, buy a cheapish security system from ebay and also a cctv camera to replace the one they took.     |

How much BTC are you looking for? Do you have any collateral?
You haven't verified two important things, income and bank.
Yes these are my 2 biggest issues with my account, the reason i have no bank verification is that the Barclays UK option will not go through, seems to be an issue with BTCjam - The barclays international goes through but the UK link does not work. In regards to my income verification, Im classed as self employed in the UK and did send a bank statement to prove my income, but pay slips were needed something i do not have as im self employed. In regards to collateral would you want it to be physical or digital ? As im happy to put any property I have against the loan, but not sure how this would work for an international lender, or im happy to give some proof of income with bank statements etc if needed. If you let me know what sort of collateral would be needed i can see what i can get. Here all the information: What is considered collateral?Collateral is something that can easily be resold to cover the loan value plus interest should the loaner default on the loan. - The best collateral is another crypto-currency, such as Litecoin (also written as LTC). Coins must be moderately traded on multiple exchanges. - Some digital wares such as domain names can be considered as long as the user cannot recover it. - Small valuable items that can be shipped though the mail - i.e. gold, silver, iphones, etc. - Large items, such as a motorcycle or guitar can be used if you live close to the person giving you the loan. Try localbitcoins.comWhat is not considered collateral?- Items not in hand. Don't trust a user that promises to give you something *when* they default! Tracking numbers only show something has been mailed - it could be an empty box. - Future income. You can prove you'll make xx coins in the next few days, but nothing forces you to send those coins to pay your debt. - Identification. So what if they can prove who they are. Are you going to spend more money and time taking them to court on untested legal grounds? You'll probably just walk away, like everyone does. ID is useless. - Games codes or similar. To verify the collateral you need to use the code, which destroys the collateral. Consider this a purchase, not a loan. (Post in Digital Goods instead) - Most new alt-coins or alt-coins that trade for satoshis are not good collateral as they can become worthless overnight. - Paypal should never be used - they are anti-bitcoin and will rule against you 100% of the time. Escrow can't even help, as paypal charge backs can come over 6 months later! - Most valuable online accounts can easily be recovered by social engineering (the user contacting support to say they were hacked, and regain control of the account) When should you use Escrow? - Never send collateral directly to a low activity/post account offering you a loan, as they are likely to take your coins and disappear. (Escrow Scam) - Use only "Hero Members" or "Legendary Members" for escrow - they have a vested interest in the community with the time they have spent here. - Do not use a third party escrow service unless hero members can vouch for it - it's too easy to create a website, do a few escrows then disappear with a big balance. Rinse and repeat. When considering the trustworthiness of a user, ignore "Posts" as there are schemes that pay a user per post. A person can make 1,000 useless posts in one day and contribute nothing to the community. Instead look at the "Activity" number - that gives you a more accurate tally of how involved the user is in the community. Ignore the sob stories that users post - it's just a scam to get your coins. If a person really is in such a situation, they can turn to family, friends or other social circles they frequent. They are just posting in our community because the payment is anonymous and irreversible. Lastest scam sob story: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=908707.0Finally, do not encourage scammers to come here! Giving out loans to newbies with no collateral, or loans to people with negative trust from "OldScammerTag" are likely to get you negative-trusted by other users, like me. I have a few things that may be suitable, I have a Galaxy S6 and the HTC One M8 that i would be happy to use as collateral, I also have a steam account with over 200 games worth a minimum of £2000 http://steamcommunity.com/id/flameenglandI also have origin accounts and a uplay account with games also, I would be happy to share my place of work and our facebook page in private message also. I currently have 20TH/s of S5 machines on slush pool and i can share the stats if needed, but this is owned by me and 2 friends so would need to ask them about this. |

Hi,
That is a fair comment, but im not like that at all.
The crime referance is 069496K-15 and its Greater Manchester Police, Bolton.
Im a little offended that you think im lying but i also understand your reasons.
Sorry for offending you, it was not my intention, but there are a lot of scammers on here.  What is their (non-emergency) phone number? The police forces numbers are below, If your in the UK you can dial 101 if your outside the UK i would use the 0161 numbers. http://www.gmp.police.uk/content/section.html?readform&s=C4CDC1C4273DD3228025796100421211Im going to take some photos of my house when i get home, and a photo of my miners etc. |

I just thought i would post my listing on BTC jam here, any help will be appreciated the original description is below. Hi everyone. The reason i would like this loan is that my house was broken into 2 days ago. They got through my kitchen window while i was in work as it was open to let the heat out from a small batch of bitcoin machines.luckily they only stole my PC monitor and my security camera, as when they unplugged my monitor they knocked my router out and all the bitcoin machines started beeping and must have scared them off. The reason for this loan is to replace my monitor and security camera, and have an inexpensive alarm fitted. I wasn't insured either something i will be getting soon, although on this occasion i am to blame for leaving the window open, my worry is they may come back knowing how much pc equipment i have.This loan will be paid back out of my monthly wage. As this is my first loan I have re listed it with better terms for the lender, I will also be aiming to repay this loan early. Thanks for any help you can give. https://btcjam.com/listings/41426-house-broken-into---need-loan-for-monitor-and-cctv-camera-replacment |

Also thanks everyone one for your help just glad its sorted now. (Well until i test tomorrow) I may end up buying the 2000watt ibm psu anyway, thanks for the link for the breakout boards, this was the thing i was struggling with as my soldering isn't the best |

Hi Everyone, I think my S4 PSU died this morning, I have only had the machine 3 months or so and i think the psu is dead, could anybody help me figure out if it is and how i go about replacing the PSU I woke up this morning to find one breaker on my board had tripped, I checked the S4 and the PSU doesnt show any signs of life at all, I have checked the fuse and thats ok, but the psu does not boot at all, is there anything i can do to fault find. I know i had one of the newer PSUs that didnt have the issue the first batch did, and the S4 has been running flawlessly since i purchased it, just a bit depressing to see one of my best machines go down Any help would be really appreciated. My 2-cents is to get an IBM 2kw PSU (208-240v only) and breakout board to replace it. http://www.gekkoscience.com/products/IBM2K_board.html is a good source for the breakouts and PSU's or check eBay for the PSU's. Together they should run around $75-80 total+ shipping. I got 4 of the beasts for when my S4's croak... That's exactly what I'm doing with my 5 S4s, it's definitely the way to go. So I thought id give you all a quick update, Used a link that was in a previous message and I was going to open a ticket, and noticed the live chat support. Ended up speaking with yoshi and went through what was wrong, I spent 10 minutes on chat and in that time he had already arranged a replacement power supply for me  He advised me it would be shipped from america overnight, I was over the moon he also said the tracking information would follow. I honestly expected the replacement to take at least a week or so, but to my excitement i checked my email this afternoon in work and low and behold the power supply was in the Manchester UPS depot which was unbelievable. It ended up being less than 24 hours shipping I still have to pick up the power supply from UPS tomorrow, but I will update everyone with my progress. Just wanted to say a big thank you to yoshi and bitmain very happy with the service. |
