But if it goes offline at random times and there is no fix, I will apply for RMA.
Beeping is a sign of losing internet or pool connection. What pool are you on and what backup pools? |

I cannot believe that we are starting again with this discussion. I guess that the price of Bitcoin has gone way to high and now we need to lower it again with the new round of this endless crap!
Maybe if we fork bitcoin another 20x the price will come down to a sensible amount /s. This being a privately owned forum, he has no obligation to do anything for anyone. Just because he lets you play here, that does not mean that he has an obligation to fulfill any of your demands.
You are right this is not a legal obligation. The word you miss is "moral". Now you don't have to say hello to anybody, hands the door or let old ppl go first. Okay, Theymos is being immoral, now what? Use the site or don't, agree with the moderation policies or don't. |

Hey dogie, I have a dumb question for you. You recommend the 1300w psu, but you need 10 6 pin connectors right ? Its 3 per board, and all 3 must be on the same psu. the 1300 w comes with : 6 x 6+2pin PCI-E and 2 x 6-pin PCI-E. So how to you rig it ?
With a decent PSU like this you're fine doing 2x PCI-E to each hashing board, = 7 minimum. If you want 3 PCI-E per board you can get some 2x molex to PCI-E adapters off ebay for a few bucks. Other non industrial solutions with 10+ native PCI-E will cost you far more than this. |

Any other S7 related technical questions please put in the main S7 thread or in one of my threads. Making a new thread for every problem dilutes the ability to help, clutters the subforum and blocks out others. |

LOL, I thought I was the only one who can't access bitcointalk. I was not able to login until then this morning (+8), I tried last night maybe 6 PM or something but I get the same 502 Bad Gateway Ngix Error.
When you are in doubt, try this site http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/bitcointalk.org.htmlI checked it out, found out that bitcointalk.org was down for the last few hours, and moved on.  If there is a major issue, then sometimes it is tweeted out here https://twitter.com/bitcointalkIts not always that useful as bitcointalk is unusual in the sense that it has one server location. The majority of places use something like cloudflare to make regional nodes. |

Hi, does anybody knows how to stop beep sound when connection to net is down? I cannot find any controler of "beep sound" like S4 had. Thanks for any advice.
I don't think the S7's have a speaker to notify you when the internet connection goes down. I may be wrong but I though that's how they designed them. I have two now .. both of them beeps like a hell ..so it does I pulled the buzzer off on mine, and if you're careful it may actually be replaceable as the pins also come out. You'll likely void your warranty etc etc. |

This has been discussed before. XT is an altcoin, and services that move from Bitcoin to XT are altcoin services. On bitcointalk.org, altcoins and altcoin services belong in the Alt Cryptocurrencies section. On /r/Bitcoin, altcoins and altcoin services aren't allowed.
It has been discussed before but not everyone agreed with you, actually the majority of people disagrees with you, mostly on reddit, based on your negative points there, im not saying you are wrong, you know more than me but it does seem like you are a little bit too oversensitive when it comes to XT The majoritory of people you choose to see or count. Lets not turn this thread into another XT vs non XT shill battle, we know its a hotly debated topic. But as the last 10 threads all ended up, this is a private forum and as such there doesn't need to be a discussion. Theymos isn't doing this because he's financially incentivised to, he's doing it because he truely believes this is the right decision and the way to move forwards. And as a private forum you can agree or disagree, stay or leave but the decision has been made. |

Why are these so expensive?
There is only one competitor on the market currently. I think the prices are right in line to be honest... it would always be nice to get them cheaper but I don't think there are any market forces that would push the mfg to get the price down at this point. So, less hashrate, less efficiency, need to provide your own controller, AND more expensive than the other competitor? Who's lining up to buy these? I wouldn't count the cost of the Pi in there. It can be resold and should be suitable for all current and future Avalon miners you stock. Like a PSU, its not consumed or proprietary, unlike an SP20 or S7 control board. |

In addition to the selling caused by the high price, there is ongoing sales of BTC that are just not optional. Bitmain must sell at least 100 coins each day to pay suppliers, workers, electric bill, and so forth.
We should expect that there will be "resistance" levels where the price brings out many seller. $500 is urely one of those points.
It's really hard to tell how much they have to cash out With data centers full of gear even with low electricity, that is still a lot of money. And they have to cash out to make next batches of miners I would think. Guessing they go to fiat and then buy miner parts in fiat. I'm sure they don't run day by day. I'm confident they have a good amount of rainy day funds to keep everything going incase it ever did drop a lot. They convert all coin, only coin they have is to pay miners and hashnest. Otherwise, comes in and its sold. Look at when they sold 500 s7 on HN, within 10 min of sale starting, the BTC price dropped and continued to drop till they sold out. 500 miners is almost a million USD dumped in 32 hours, the first 3 hours was a good chunk of that. When they sold out, within 1 hour BTC started going up again. BTC is a pretty small market from a liquidity perspective. I guess I should have know this. But that is a crazy amount to dump at once. Wow surprised I never noticed. But makes perfect sense. Do we know if S4/S5 sales caused a dump? And if so how much? Bitmain holds significant amounts of BTC, they support Bitcoin and don't simply dump it on exchanges. If there are price drops after batch announcements then its coincidental. |

Boy did I pick a bad day to buy or what ? *sighs*
AHHHHHHHHH!!!!! what a roller coaster ride.  Some whale just dumped 40BTC on Cryptsy.... TANK goes the price .... I'm hoping that the peeps manipulating the BTC market don't pull the plug just yet.... let it build a little bit more while I mine with these S7'd so I can get some more BTC for more S7's  Come on now, 40btc is hardly a whale, just someone who is happy to cash out at $400. |

Also if i add a Company VAT number with my friends company. Would they Discard the VAT totally? or just bill the company? . Heard different things from different sources
If they're like the UK you'd pay out the VAT and then claim it back in your next return. That is if you actually have the right to be using your friends VAT number, which it doesn't sound like you do. One more thing; looked at one alternative site that ships within the EU
Assume any reseller to be generally nefarious, there aren't significant reseller margins provided by Bitmain and so these people can generally only make money off charging you more. And as history has taut us, warranties are sketchy at best through a reseller. |

I need spare S7 FAN
any idea where to get one?
Not for new ones but its the same fan from the S4, S5 and S5 if you can track down one of those. Still the same price as before, $1700 and $1800. Wonder why they didn't raise the prices. I am sure people would pay more.
At this $/BTC, everyone can make money so its happy days all round. |

I was thinking the same thing today! Georgia holds a big percentage of the network right now. This is centralization, not the fact that there are 6k nodes. We need to focus on the important things!
Its not easy to run a node when it gets DDOSed within the hour. |

Anyone powered his S7 using only 1 PCi-E 6 per board ?
I have powered them with only 1 cable per board for the last 2 days and they were working fine
Just today I read somewhere that it actually needs all 3 cables per board.
wow that's gutsy. cables not getting warm? I'd also be worried about the connectors, sure they'll be overspec'ed but not infinitely. |

Well from what I've read plugging in a pcie 6+2 connector into the cpu slot (on the psu) will fry whatever your connecting.
You would have to verify the pinout. If you change the wiring so that +12v go to +12v and ground to ground, there should not be any problem, assuming the cpu socket is on the main rail. Seem risk prone. I think the best way to save a socket would probably use perif to molex, then use a 2x molex to PCI-e adapter to power the controller. I would not do this to power a blade.So the pci connection on top of the S7 is purely for powering the control board? I'm thinking of running each S7 off an EVGA 1600, but I need another port on the PSU for the controller. Yes it is. |

Been looking at high performance Corsair 120mm will they do the job?
SP120s won't cut it in non cool ambients, S5 is just too open and relies on flailing air everywhere. |

You might you have to do what hilarius did. Hilarius reported like more than 10000 thread and got it 100% correct. Then he was noticed and become a patrol staff then promoted to globar moderator now. You can asked him for tip. The % correct is entirely up to the actionable mod though. My reports in some sections get straight up ignored so I don't bother with any housekeeping reports. |

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 $5M, they're only predicting to make 1,500 SP50s over the year (165PH). is the 29k$ price just a speculation of your's or it has been publicly released ? Speculation based on their slides, the other 'leak' suggested a higher price. |
