ANTMINER S7 is available at bitmaintech.com with 4.86TH/s, 0.25J/GH

[bomberb17]

asicminer-shop.de sells it for €2200
antminerdistribution.com for €2379
hadsystems on ebay has 2 listings, one for €2279 and another for $2049. The second one is much cheaper but it does not ship to EU.

Sure do! I plugged it in quickly this morning and the unit evened out between 1190W and 1210W. That's the power going into the LEPA, so I suspect the actual miner is only taking about 90-92% of that, so about 1090W or so.

110v or 220v?
thx!

maybe the 1130watt is because of lower hash speed?! take a look here:

thx!

I'm running it on 110V. I don't think the power is because of the lower hashing speed, it just seems that some units hash higher than others. Right now my unit is hashing at 4.68 TH/s, but it fluctuates between that and 4.86 TH/s.

In short-much discussion about blocksize vs fees.
fees would affect us, no?

fees would affect us, no?

Very little.  Right now the transaction fees in a block pale in comparison to the block reward of BTC25 (or even BTC12.5 come next year) - and even less so per-miner when it's spread out among miners in the pool that got the block.

I'd be more 'worried', long-term (and that's measured in many years) about the concerns being raised regarding pools in general, ASICs, etc. with regard to centralization.

at the minimum, bitcoin core dev discussions re blocksize DID affect bitcoin price (check today, for instance) and hence are relevant to miners.

Would love to buy some s7s but the price of BTC cmo at buying. If prices where a lot better on BTC then I would sure buy at least 2 or more units and have a chance at making something on top but right now with markets prices and energy used am awaiting more improved version of this and better prices. Good luck to those who already buy as going to be a challenge to recover on RIO and gain more coin in return.

Just buy coin outright for now and wait for the 16nm or 18nm or 20nm miners which ever to come out. These should have super low power usage but then again what will the market price be for 1 BTC=0.50 USD. And what will DIFF level be equal to 9900000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.

Cant even imagine what a S7 would cost or a newer chip miner lol.

 

Seriously dude, what the heck are you even here? ALL YOU EVER do is badmouth BTC, whine doom and gloom. It is annoying as heck.
Are you trying to single handed-ly undermine Bitcoin and think you matter enough to cause a price drop? Trying to buy BTC low or something?

Is there a block or ignore function to block a specific person? Every thread you post in you're annoying as heck.

You don't have to look hard to find the ignore link. Just look to the left under their username/activity/trust.

Mate I use to be a serious miner back in the day since avalon first come out and s1s where available with bitmain. IF YOU WANT TO BLOCK ME HIT IGNORE BUTTON AND UL NEVER SEE A COMMENT OF MINE AGAIN.

Not trying to under mined bitcoin, but you clearly think that. Why would I want a price drop dumb fucker I have enough coin to by a number of machines right now but chose not to.. I said prices need to go up not down for me to buy equipment. Wright now Bitmain miner is what 8 Bitcoin for 1 unit. If prices of BTC where what they where at last year at double the price now would cost half the Bitcoin and everyone knows like me and many others do bitmain will indeed cash in on that price goes back up.

If I wanted prices to be mad as was when first buying avalon unit at 60 BTC at $13 a coin I would sure as hell not buying any equipment with it id be holding. I already have some s1 s3s and some s5 however with energy costs where I am energy consumption from machines need to be better and improved and have seen this in tech come along way from first units to units what they are today. Right now might be think am moaning Bad mouthing Bitcoin lol well whats new with it cos I don't see much happening with it right now only going in a direction I do not like to see and that is continuing to go down. Sort the problems out and listen to all veiled concerns of the public with BTC and Devs we got a winner but clearly they want centralization than to be what it was originally for.

Only a monster can kill monsters. 

To compete with BitFury and KnC; Bitmain must sometimes do things which are explicitly in their own interest, and not in ours.

So at current count on bitmain's wallet

https://blockchain.info/charts/n-transactions?timespan=180days&showDataPoints=false&daysAverageString=1&show_header=true&scale=0&address=1KwA4fS4uVuCNjCtMivE7m5ATbv93UZg8V

Just under 500 units of S7's sold so far as a pre release.....

It will be interesting to see if S7 + or - are ever released..

Answer on S7+ is almost certain.  They used same controller as S5+ so the controller is already ready to do it.   

They could even sell a "upgrade" where you get 2 more modules and hook them up to original S7.   There is lot's of options on how they do it, but I think we will see them linked in someway or another under a product.

Did you see that review of the S7 that indicated that the case has a tongue and groove system that will let you slide them together? I guess this is the same case as the S5+.

If Bitmain wanted to sell an S7+, it sounds like all they'd need to do is slide 3 together, drop two controllers, and connect the extra units with some longer 18-bin data cables. Or if they wanted to provide an upgrade (like you mentioned), then they could drop the controller and provide the longer 18-pin data cables.

Looks like they are well positioned to pull off reconfigurations like this. Of course the price will have to come down.

I think the could do an S5+ like very easy.  I think your current controller can handle the same as S5+ did.  So they ship in one to slide on left, and right.  And some longer cables.  They can do it pretty easy.

Not sure if they will do that or not.  But I do see this being another one there is a + model and possibly a upgrade kit to go to 3 modules from 1.
