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

[Biodom]

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!

could it be that it was simply fried by your heat tornado at colo?

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.  

everything is priced in USD... if bitmain owes any moneys, it will be the USD amount..   correct me if I am wrong..

Dear loyal customers,

We're sorry to inform you that we didn't make the shipment of some orders today as promised. When we did the last spot check, we found some issues which cannot be delivered to you directly, engineers are working on it now and shipment should be arranged before end of next week.

Due to this trouble, we'd like to offer you the compensation following 97.5%*PPS payment according to the total hash rate of miners in order, starting from Oct. 11 Hong Kong Time, till the real shipping out date(which is not included), with electricity cost deducted at the price of $0.098/KWH.

The accounting unit is Bitcoin in the calculating, while USD is considered as a foreign currency. The day to day exchange rate will be get from Bitstamp daily average.

The final payment will be after we have collected your payment address, and we will inform you the way to confirm your receiving address with us.

After collect all the necessary info, we'll process the refund by batches, please wait for update patiently.

Apologize again!

NICE!   I almost wish my batch was delayed a week and get a months worth of hashing out of the deal!

Think they will be sending the refunds next year? Or after they crash BTC prices again due to them cashing out their income from selling the Miners?

won't crash anything as they only have 3358 BTC in their wallet and been cashing out systematically in 480-2.7K chunks on a regular basis.

I know this is a bit off topic:

Does anyone have a recommendation for an exchange of some sorts to exchange bitcoin for actual physical gold in your hand [Not paper gold] in the United States?

You really want to have physical gold with you, not in some vault somewhere.
Best just to cash out and buy physical that they send to you.

The point I was trying to make is that it shutdown when the fan went to zero, not when it hit 80C
This is nothing I would test with a $1800 rig. Just got lucky that the unplanned test showed a good result that I had not expected.

That one might be better.

EDIT:  Maybe I'm blind... but I don't see an option to buy gold with btc at this exchange.

Yes, that's what I'm looking for.  I did not like the sound of fees, etc... from, Vaultoro.com

EDIT: https://www.quadrigacx.com/ looks like it DOES NOT sell gold for btc.

Judging by $1923 hashnet S7 prices, B4 will probably go for $1823 again and lite is nowhere to be seen (yet).

yeah with coins over 300 it will sell.

i liked the way pacmic worked-best for people who have some coins that they store and not using to buy miners or cloud hash.
The risk is if bitcoin drops to $150, then it would be difficult to get your principal back.

Better think  that Hashnest price must  be 1758 USD, and they sell first Batch 1 miners .
