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

Did you folks with 3.0 Kg orders also have Power supplies? There are reports that Bitmain will ship PSU's in advance of the miner itself.

I would think 3.0 Kg as being "light" for the miner.

My UPS tracking said 3.0 Kg for each of 9 boxes.  I ordered 9 x S7's with no PSU's.

I did order power supply as well, but I already received them.
They were marked as 2.00 Kg.
Bitmain says the S7 should be 4.5kg.

From Bitmain's site:

Be careful if they are paying less weight then it actually is.    They did this on 3 of my PSU's.  I ended up with a bill for them shipping at lower weight then actual.  I paid like 12 bucks for all together for 3 psu's.  So was not horrible.  I would hope they have fixed this tough.

But if you get it lower then actual look at your letters in mail. I almost threw my bill away as trash until I saw it truly was the shipping company sending me a letter. I assumed it was junk mail.

They play with the weight. for the amounts of miners they ship, the transports companies just ramdom spot checks some of the boxes and being only 1 kg off, most of the time won't do anything about it. but for bitmain the volume is huge and they save tons of money in shipping cost. i know cause i used to work for a company and my boss had me do the same thing.

Has anyone actually got the PPS pay for being lat on shipping?  I was just curious if they really have done this or not for people yet.

The showing of shipped, and no info is kinda scary.   Hopefully they check into that more.

No PSU ordered here just a miner

It will probably be done have shipping of batch 1 is completed.  They are generating a list of those with late deliveries, how many rigs they had which were late, etc...  That is my "guess" anyway.

I'm pretty sure UPS will send me a bill in the mail for a "brokerage" fee of maybe $35 to $40 but we may also have to make up the difference in weight.  Only time will tell.  I'm not going to worry about and just wait for the bill to come in the mail from UPS.

Sign into your UPS account and check. Mine shows up on UPS as being scanned on pick-up but does not show up yet on my Bitmain account. Mine was ordered/paid on 9/8

Really?? I have never had UPS bill me before on miners. I am having this one dropped off at my local UPS Store as not to miss the delivery. It will be interesting if they try and collect anything from me.

Ouch! I wonder how many % has not been shipped.

Really,

I had a shipment of 6 x S5's from Bitmain in which I had to pay a brokerage fee of $39.29.  I've had other shipments from Bitmain with no brokerage fee at all.  I think it's kind of a hit or miss thing.

It is very true you can read me on PSU's https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1165628.msg12697178#msg12697178 .  But if they ship for less then actual and are caught the cost goes to the one they shipped to.

So I guess it's luck.  But once they get known for doing it I predict more and more people see these bills.  And again be careful it looks like junk mail to me on it, but is a legit bill from shipper.

What do you mean exactly?
You mine $3000 per month and pay the data center $1000? Like that?

I was just curious who would have control over BTC wallet, seems you would have control over both pool and wallet.

They just want their monthly payment or they can lock me out of the data center.
It is 2 miles away from my house. So the remote hands are mine.

I have checked with 5 different data centers for 20 miners and the cheapest quote was $5k.  I do not see how that is profitable.

Are you talking about electricity? Seems kinda high if so.  Your talking around 23.2 K watts  At 10 cents like 1.6k USD or so depending.

Are you talking about older bitmain miners and actually getting a miner for that 5k?

I am talking 20 S7 Antminers @ 24KWatts.  Yeah gross would be around $6k per month which would leave a net of $1k per month after paying the $5k to the data center.  My ROI would be 3 years.  That is not a good!

I have orders that were marked shipped...now marked unshipped from 9/9(B1), 9/18(B1), 9/29(B3) and 10/03(B3).  AAAAAaaarrrrgggghhhh.

Still waiting on two more batch 1 orders dated 9/04 and 9/15.

Also have a pre 8/31 unit which stopped hashing at optimum (dropped by 1/3) after 10 days online.  Hard and and soft reboots with not change.  Appreciate some assistance on warranty service, Bitmain.  Reference your support ticket #4143.  

Do you know which board? Sounds like a board if it is one third. You can see a little red light on the hashboard near the connectors.
If no red light then...
You can detach hash cables one at a time to find the offending board.
Sometimes dropping the frequency will pop it up.

Have one s7, lots of time with other bitmain products.

Thnx for the reply, wolfen.  Same here.  I've been an infrequent poster but have been running equip since the GPU days.  Moved through ASICMiner block erupters, Bitfury/MBP units and a few BFL units; and now solely running Bitmain equipment.  The problem seems to be the chain 1 board.  Yes, there are red lights on all three boards.

The pic below shows the chip failures on the board.  Interesting to note... I have yet to see the chip failures displayed again on the web page.  Hard, soft reboots and freq changes - still o's.  The chips show o's every time I check the page.  Something's definitely amiss..  Thoughts?

Time to change Colos. That is CRAZILY HIGH!!!

And also, my order has gone back to unshipped.

There must be some error in the quote. Nobody charges that much. For example, it would cost about 1300 USD to host at my datacenters at 57 USD / kW. Other datacenters from Canada charge about this rate too.

Thanks for the reply on that. Its not something else I want to look forward to. I have a hard time understanding how it would be our fault if UPS didn't collect enough from the shipper?
