You can negotiate for commercial contracts that don't use time-of-use here in Ontario as well Prelude. The actual rate for commercial customers between 50kW and 5mW peak is under 3 ¢ CDN / kWh, however you are again subject to the Global Adjustment rate, which at present makes up almost 80% of the cost of electricity. We have the liberals to thank for that shit show.
yeah, ontario baserate is meaningless since the fees make up such a huge part of it. that $0.03/kwh probably averages out closer to $0.07-0.09/kwh on billing

If the 4.66 TH/s instead of 4.86 TH/s is true, and many of us begin to receive a similar email, what would be a reasonable discount?
Anyone care to chime in?
Depends on the power consumption. Assuming similar efficiency I think they would refund the percentage difference (~5%) and offer a choice of a coupon twice that amount (~10%). Let us know how it goes. I would be surprised if you can get them to do double. But if you do that is a decent deal. Makes me wonder if they had multiple batches on making miners since some did not get this. I have 8 hours of running the standard Frequency of 600 with an output of average of 4.65th/s. 1168W 10.01A temp 41, 39, 38 Fan 2880rpm on both 110VAC using 3 ANTEC 750W Platinum PSUs. I am seeing some people doing with their S7 "only" 4650Gh/s at default feq., Is only happend a some/less people or almost everyone?

My order was placed on 9/1, still no shipping notification or reduced hashrate email. Waiting patiently.

So talked with a rep on the phone and it looks like US Customs flagged 1 out of 2 total packages and now I have to pay $39.74 in taxes / duties / import fees.
She said customs probably overlooked my other package which is why only one was flagged
I didnt realize we have to pay these fees in the US, and what a bunch of BS that 1 must have made it through without discrepancy, but the other requires this fee? when its the same damn thing
I thought we're not supposed to pay import taxes if it's under $2.5K. Must be nice!!! Here in Ontario we generally pay 13% tax + brokerage + duty (if applicable) I'd love to pay $40 on an $1800 package! I would probably love to have your power costs though. I imagine you are paying no more than $0.05 to $0.06 cents per kWH? Ontario not so much, they pay about CAD $0.14/KW I think. Quebec is better at CAD $0.08, but you have to put up with living in a shit hole province. Ontario is expensive-ie: up to 20 cents in some cities. Newfoundland/Labrador is cheapest -ie: 3-4 cents. That's why Great North Data is the cheapest place to host miners. Their pricing is even better than Toomin Bros.

Damn, mine was on the same plane as the rest of you that went thru Anchorage instead of straight to Louisville Hub. That's an extra hop and now it's at the Mt Hope Ontario UPS Hub and hadn't left yet at 7 AM (which is when they usually leave Mt Hope). It won't make it to Ottawa in time to be delivered today. One day lost already.
EDIT: Got another email from UPS explaining why the plane didn't depart Mt Hope at 7 AM: "A mechanical failure has delayed delivery. We're adjusting plans to deliver your package as quickly as possible. Your delivery has been rescheduled for the next business day."
Some days you just gotta shake your head and laugh.

Was thinking about opening a new thread where we can copy the post and add our order/pay date to, so we can maybe get a idea where they are on shipping dates? Also wondering if the lower hash rate they have showing up is another reason that the batch 1 sells were stopped until they get a handle on it.

After seeing your quote [twice now] of a hash rate close to 4.6 TH/s instead of 4.8 TH/s, I believe the email received by the other member from BITMAIN is legit. I believe they really are having issues achieving the proclaimed hash rate. Maybe they will have it panned out soon. If not, expect to receive an email soon for a discount/coupon.

I believe you may have hit the nail on the head.

Thanks for sharing. That isn't bad. However, it also depends on the pool you navigate to. For instance, Antpool would always tell me I had less hash rate than Slush pool over a 24 hour period with the same gear. Is this hash rate you are sharing from your miner status or from the pool?

That looks ok-ish. Probably makes you ineligible for the hypothetical refund/coupon though This would be a good time for Bitmain or dogie or whoever is running their PR nowadays to say something on the subject.

Assume you are all running at 600MHz, what sort of HW error rate are you seeing?

Thanks for sharing... Your S7 looks like it's doing well. Previous posts seem to indicate the default frequency is 600; not 612. Was 612 the next step up?
