I hope they do a price drop for batch 2 or I can't justify buying one.

Also interesting 21 announced their first product for sale to the public today, .17 J/GH

I'm out ...at 13.5c kwh here in the USA....this boat don't float

(In the wave of 20/20 hindsight I have 2 Titan(s) and a 100 amp service.....so even if I could swing it probably would not pay to upgrade to 200 amp service
even if the price was right ...so.......I guess it was not destined to be in either case with btc difficulty and price at this time in either senario)

Reality sucks

is it possible to just get the barebone board?
i've seen some data center miners running just barebone board on youtube.

they don't even bother to put the miner inside a case with a fan. Just a barebone green board hookup to bunch of wires and a large fan.

That's technology from about 18 months ago. The power consumption for each board was much lower, and hence needed a lot less cooling as a result. I don't expect that Bitmain will be selling boards and not whole miners. Even if they did, it wouldn't actually save you any money. You will need their controller either way, and there's precious little to be gained by trying to engineer a better cooling solution. The "Green boards from 2014" weren't a complete miner, and hence needed the customer (i.e. the mine) to figure out the cooling.

Will be interesting to see what price is lined up for batch 2 of units and how long will have to wait for units. Hoping price is a good one as might consider to come back into the mining world again but with the ever growing price of energy in UK it is going to be a tough call too see any profit made from units. Need a good unit price and some diff jumps in the down direction then up. And also with the approaching half next year in July 2016 from 25 BTC rewards to 12.5 sure is going to bring some questions to weather or not price is going to chance. and also almost 70% minted too with 30% remaining that last lot of coin is going to be tough to generate. Just hope prices climb back up and despite coin rewards halving again will be good enough to sustain mining.

I ordered early on Day 2. Got my shipping info early this AM. due to arrive Thursday by end of the day.

[bsanders]

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.

Update, I got an email last night with my DHL tracking info; arrives on Thursday. I did not order a PSU, so it can only be the S7.

[Chris_Sabian]

My guess is 30 day wait for batch 2.

 So say late OCT  21-25.

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.

What kind of power do you have access to?  Won't you be running close to 6 kw for home mining since you said you bought several other S7?

[torepia]

I can confirm that they ship orders according to who got their payment confirmed first.
I ordered on first day, payment confirmed 06.09. I guess I got screwed by this, lesson learned.

Don't Loose hope.  You can search online for a better rate or call the Electric Company and have them lock you in on a lower rate.  Need you in the game buddy!

Happened to me twice with KNC Jupiters and Spondoolies systems.
Caused a few days in delay and ended up costing me a few bitcoins in profit

That does not sound good. I would say it's delayed and sounds like it has not left China yet?

[Mr.paul]

Order on day end 21/9/2015 .. i think mine is the last one shipment.

I ordered on Sept 8th so it will be interesting in seeing how much longer mine ships after yours.

Does not sound good but hard to say.  Sounds like must be his country since it shows Wednesday as delivery date.

But if it got that message and has not left China yet no that would not be good, as likely a longer fix.

You could consider having your equipment hosted.  That's what I had to do starting back in February of this year.  I could not afford the electricity and I couldn't effectively deal with the heat when winter came to an end.  I've been with the Lee Group for about 9 months with a bunch of S5s and it has worked out well.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=934581.0

I'm also going to try my S7s at Toomim Bros this time around to see how that works.  http://toom.im/

The Lee Group Data Center will cost $2.90 per day for 1-S7
The Toomim Bros Data Center will cost about $3.23 per day for 1-S7

Thank you so much!!!  They are in KY and said that all they needed was my tax id or ssn.  I gave it to them and they said that they would release it.  Whew!  Thanks Again!!

That is good news. I just thought in the past when others had problems like this the clearing agency was in China but I must have been mistaken. Did you have them shipped UPS or FedEx?
