Ufo, have you tried m'sminermonitor? Everything at a glance, free. Nice to monitor 40 at a glance.
I like it because when a miner craps out it leaves all the stats for that miner frozen for you to check.
I use CryptoGlance, but I still have tabs open to keep track of them individually as well.  Ufo |

0.0100% or less and you get close to the advertised hash
0.0300% or more and you get a lot less then the advertised hash
What cables did you link that I could use to run two s7's off of one controller? I am doing some housekeeping and that would clean up some of the wiring. Thanks in advance! Ufo I have heard this many times, running 2 S7s on one controller. Other than the cost savings of 1 less ethernet cable which would be offset by the cost of new longer 18 pin cables; What is the reason/savings in doing something like this? it also means less switches if you have a 5 port ethernet switch 1 in 4 out you can run 8 s-7's instead of 4 if you have an 8 port ethernet switch 1 in 7 out you can run 14 s-7's instead of 7 if you have a 16 port ethernet switch 1 in 15 out you can run 30 s-7's instead of 15 so a guy that went big say 20 s-7's only needs one 16 port switch he also has a lot of spare controllers 10 if he doubles up at 20 units. and one last thing power saved due to 10 controllers not running. |

I can't imagine the controller taking up even a fraction of what 1 fan draws, but I think it's good for redundancy (less points of failure, extra for back-up). Plus easier to manage/monitor, and takes up less network addresses if it's on a shared LAN.
Edit: each fan draws something like 2A or 24W, a BBB board draws up to 2W.

 UUGH .... Now what .... When I tracked my FedEx package .... --------------------------------- Clearance Delay Shipment requires importer's registration/identification number for clearance. (Examples include EIN, SSN, VAT, GST, RFC, etc.) Recommended action: Importer must provide the required registration/ identification number. --------------------------------- Yet there is no button to push, no form to fill out, no option to fix.... nothing. Not even an E-Mail from FedEx notifying me of a problem.... I called FedEx, I barely could understand the guy with his very heavy Indian accent, who said, after placing me on hold for 5 minutes... someone will call me back. Well, that's nice.... WTF! At least the S7's made it to Wisconsin .... they are sitting 60 miles from me. <sigh>

yeah once you pull the fan load out the controller is not doing much power draw. but the wiring and monitoring is easy. and of course if you have the batch one firmware you can triple up and run nine boards. |

At least the S7's made it to Wisconsin .... they are sitting 60 miles from me. <sigh> Are there two or more units in your order? If so, the total dollar figure is probably high enough that it's been flagged in customs. This happened to me with my second order of two units. I had to tell them what a miner was, and had to clarify that they are for personal use not business. This is true for me because it's a hobby. They provided a form and detailed instructions. It was easy to fill out and email it to them. The process was actually much more efficient than I thought it would be. It was very irritating, but in the end it only added a few days of delay to the delivery. |

Is there a way to disable mining but leave the fan running to cool the unit down?
I need to do some maintenance today, which will mean powering off my S7s briefly. With the glued on heat sinks I'm concerned about residual heat causing problems.
I've looked at the admin app, but there doesn't seem to be an option to disable mining like there is with Spondoolies products. I guess I could clear out the pool URLs, but that doesn't seem worth the effort.
I've done the firmware update, so it should be safe to pull the Ethernet cables and the fans should stay on. Maybe that bug fix can be used as a cool down technique.
Does anyone else out there do anything special when powering down your S7s, or do you just cut the power and hope for the best?

Typically, they do, so it is important to provide a phone # to bitmain at which you are always accessible, like a cell phone. You talk to DHS/customs, then they send you an importer form by email, you fill the form and send it back. Should take 24-48 hours total. |

F-d by UPS.
changed the delivery to UPS store and they pushed the delivery to Monday.
I called in and they said that changing to local store changes delivery by one business day.
Is this for real or what? anybody else had the same experience?
bummer...
Did you call or do it on the website using My Choice? On the website it's quite clear that it changes the day as they force you to agree to that when making the change.. If you called it's frustrating if they didn't tell you.. thanks. basically, i did not want to waste part of the day waiting for it. AFTER i made the change (maybe i did not notice the stuff re date as it was not explicit in any way) for the WHOLE day the web site said delivery estimate-FRIDAY, then I called and they were feeding me the same line ("Customer service says that it will be delivered today"). If the first person firmly said that it will be delivered on monday and if you want it today, we can arrange it to go to the hub, then i would be fine with it. Bottom line, i am out of maybe 0.1 BTC, no biggie, it just felt unfair, but I'm over it already. I have redirected the last 4 miners I have ordered. I have a UPS store in town about 2 miles from my house and have experienced no delay due to it. I have always changed the redirect as soon as I knew the package was in the system so I am talking a couple days at least. I can see how it might add a day if you waited to long or if the redirect is way out of the way or a different UPS distribution area. There use to be a $5 cost to have it dropped off at a UPS Store but UPS does not allow the stores to collect it anymore. I am very happy with the service UPS has given me. |

It seems to me that Bitmain has had time to get things caught up...so I am wondering when the compensation for Batch 1 will start to get taken care of? The longer they wait the higher the BTC they own us is worth.  |

One of the rear fans stopped on one s7 rpm to zero.
Antminer just stopped hashing. Very good.
Replaced with an s5 fan (same fan), asked for a fan replacement.
Everthing back to normal.
Whew!

this shipping probably means they are about to price batch 4 or introduce lite. I expect by late tomorrow as being most likely (US time) |
