No B2/B3 miners will ever get shipped out until then.

Honestly he needs to take a step back and  before posting so much in this one thread.  I honestly hope this happens.  Or people will have to maybe ignore button.

It turn's a good hardware thread into a questioning, and almost mis-information campaign.

Does minerlink.com work or does it not work for me? I registered all of them to www.minerlink.com:2000 and enabled it in the settings. None of them show up, so not sure if it is something on my side or what. I read on the internet that it was "soon" to be released, so I found it odd that it was so polished. I looked for documentation on it and it is very light. I need something that allows me to change all of my miners and doing it manually per miner is a pain.

Any suggestions or offers on minerlink.com?

I don't think it ever worked...  It never worked on any of my S5's, they announced it and then just sort of gave up on it for whatever reason.

In other news, I see that the S7 Batch 3 done, no more to buy, although there still are some Batch 2's, if anyone wants those.

I have a couple S7's in B3, and none of them have shipped (to my knowledge), but they updated my invoice for whatever reason today.

I have not got it ever to work either.   I have not looked into it in past month or so though. But it always seemed to be a upcoming thing.

Looking there is just one download on site: https://www.minerlink.com/download.htm it's to detect IP's of miners.  So I'm guessing it is still down.

Yeah, I used that to detect my miners. Seems kind of weird to go through all of the effort to build a nice website and configuration into the miners and not do anything with it.

These Batch 2 and 3 miners probably won't get shipped until,

* Price of BTC goes to $300-$315 and reverses back down. I think they are holding them right now and mining with them so they can dump.

*Or will ship them on November 5th as its the last delay day.


Mining is very profitable at the moment.

yeah while it is a bit annoying.  I do have 2 mining as I type.  both work fine.

I finally got my Batch 1 units, two of them. One does 4.88 avg while the other 4.63-4.68. Are a lot of people seeing this?

I paid the full price of batch 1 and pretty pissed I got a batch 2 unit, guessing by the hash rate. I tried to OC it to 618 and 625, but not much difference, a lot more HW errors with minimal hash gain.

Out of curiosity do they have the stickers on the hashing board showing freq? I don't blame you for being mad on it.

Please let us know if Bitmain gives partial refund.  And also what they do on compensation amount on being late if you dont mind.

Try to troubleshoot it by doing 593
Once it fires up at 593 look at hw error rate.

If error rate is .1 or higher do a system reboot.
If error rate comes back at .0100 or lower wait for hash rate to settle you should get about 4775.

With lower power then you do by going to 612

Well if it has 2 blades, and it has S7 compact heatsink, i would like to see it, yes. If it has 3 blades, then its the S5+ i know. Regardless i believe you but yeah, if there's S5's non + with a S7 compact heatsink, i would like to see it + know what PCB version it read on the top right of the PCB under the bitmain logo. The latest i saw was v1.91.

Sure I will stop by my S5 mine tomorrow and take some pics of the different types of S5's

If the BTC/USD price breaks the $300-$320 and heads towards the $400-600 range, guess what. The B3 will be the last batch of the S7 that Bitmain will ever be selling to us.

If that happened, Bitmain, would simply raise the price of the S7.  IMHO

My guess is every S7 sold helps them net 3.0 to 3.5 BTC minimum at present price of the S7.

[fhh]

B2 and B3 sold out

[notlist3d]

B2 and B3 sold out

Waited longer the I thought they would since:

AntMiner S7 BATCH 2/3 - Shipping may start between Oct. 15 ~ 25 (if shipped out 10 days later than it, it won't be considered as delay ).

And friday around 5 PM right now in China so they really did wait till like very last minute with weekend to stop sells on those batches.

I assume it is more to start a Batch 4 with new prices. Because of the higher BTC price this will most probably be higher that B2/B3.

Or possibly the same price for batch 4 as it was for batch 3 with less time before block halving on batch 4 than for batch 3.  Only time will tell.

I do not think reward halving will have impact on S7 price. Tooo much time until that...

[dmwardjr]

I would have to agree with you on that one to an extent.  That's the only thing I could come up with for the price reduction between batch 1 and batch 3.

I think the key is it will not yet.  But once we hit say 6 month's, then 3 months etc no doubt it will effect it.   With less reward people would not spend as much.

But we really don't know a lot of what will happen at having we need to know to determine miners price.  BTC price at having will effect miners price greatly, and no one can tell us what that will be currently..

Agreed, we don't know what will occur with difficulty and btc price. 

I plan on buying more every month.  I'm not saying how many each month but it will be quite a bit.  I plan on buying ten of their 1600 PSU's as well.  The way my PDU's are set up, I still have more watts available on each PSU for more S7's.  I would rather do this with BITMAIN's PSU's than use an IBM 2880W PSU to power only one S7 when it can easily power two.  It would be a waste to do this with an IBM 2880W.  Hence, the need for BITMAIN's 1600W PSU.

I've been up all night.  It is 5:39am at my location now.  It's past time to get some sleep.

Good night everyone!

I must be missing something, so power 2 with an IBM 2880W PSU if that is what you can do, heck power 5 per 2 IBM 2880W PSUs.  You have lower cost, and better efficiency than Bitmain PSUs, I am not understanding the logic since you make the point you can power two per PSU.
