still unshipped here for me

I had 2 orders on 8/31
02:07:04
23:12:24

I think they opened up on 8/30 so I gotta be day 2

Funny how the hash rate is dropping as soon as the orders start shipping. I'll bet the fans show up nice and dusty but Bitmain will say they are brand new units.

The hashrate actually started to drop last friday. Yesterday it was as low as 353 Ph/s, now its at 379.
Bitcoinwisdom probably uses a longer median over-time measurement

I hate S7. Killed all my profit on hashnest. 

With the hash rate dropping and block generation time going up, it's killing everyone's profits. Give it a few days for everyone to receive their S7 and the hash rate will shoot back up and all the pools luck will start going back up. Bitmain is definitely controlling the hash rate and difficulty these past few rounds of difficulty increases.

I noticed that 2 of my orders have shipped!

Just checked on the delivery status:  Scheduled Delivery: Wednesday, 09/23/2015, By End of Day

Headed for a big BTC crash!

I placed my order on day one 8/30 and paid via wire. I got confirmation email from Bitmain being paid on 9/1.  The site still shows my order as unshipped, and I have not received any emails about it either.

Took longer than I thought...

I think price had something to do with that.  Likely I think they still have stock of them.   But they are starting to ship this batch ( I think) so they will do a batch 2 would be my guess after most get their batch 1's.

I still hope to see a price drop and maybe coupons for batch one buyers.  But not sure if we will see that.

[philipma1957]

My guess is 30 day wait for batch 2.

 So say late OCT  21-25.

[Tupsu]

I think that, no later than after one week,  the S7 is again on sale.

I hope so. I bought 2 coupons a few days ago, but haven't placed the order yet. Hopefully they'll be back in stock before my coupons expire.

I have 1 coupon I would like to order 1 more, but I was hoping to test them first.

Maybe they open for sales soon.

I suspect at least 30 days before batch 2. they kept batch 1 open way longer then I expected but I guess now that the miners are built and in hand they will focus on upgrading there own farm first using our pre-orders to help fund the project before they re open up a second batch

For all we know they could have already upgraded their own farms.  I would suspect those were priority over batch 1.   If they did clear a lot of spots in their data center shipping out S7's I think they will fill them pretty quick.

I would agree batch 1 was open much longer then I think they would have guessed from previous products.  I think at least closed till most of S7 B1's are shipped and mode it to their new homes.  Also we don't know if any 3rd party data centers have put in big orders.  Likely those would come before batch 2.

It was open so long because of the high price.

[QuintLeo]

I'd actually guess "price adjust" - they're always "sold out" for a while when they adjust the price.

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty

 Nah, if they're smart they'll dust off the units before they ship them.

 They did at least that much on my officially "used" S5s.

I don't disagree.  Will be interesting if the price drops.  I hope it does and they issue coupons for first batch.

But it's hard to tell.   They kinda own the market.

I rather they do nothing for 2 weeks then open batch 2  on OCT 5th or 6th.  With little or no price drop.  Maybe a slight drop to 1799.
No coupons to batch 1.  Then on the 12th the early coupons die.  So maybe give new coupons on the 14th if sales are slow.  Say 200 off 1799= 1599 plus 61 to ship = 1660.

I do not want a fire sale of any type or kind. Here is why? Once bit fury and Knc really show true power.  My strategy for bitmaintech still gives them moves.

If bitmaintech drops price to 1600 in 1 week  from today and gives a 200 dollar coupon it only will hurt them as they made too early a move against bitfury and knc.

But WTF do I really know?  Just guessing like the rest of us.
