Ouch... Bitmain really should change some policies. I ordered several batch 6's at $1625 each. And now batch 7 w/ 5th shipping the same time mine are, arg.

If they were going out a month after or even two weeks i'd understand more. Not much I can do but vent a little.

well I mean...batch 7 is still overpriced.  Funny how its priced in btc though....maybe if btc goes up to 500 and its still 5.05btc you wont feel that bad?

I believe that's the reason it is priced in BTC.  BITMAIN, believes the price of BTC will go up instead of down.  Hence, pricing it in BTC like they did with the S1 when the price of BTC was high.

fr4nkthetank - 500 at 5.05 would make me feel a liiiitle better lol. I do believe time is running thin for cheap btc. Once the halving media drums begin beating it should be a steady rise. Although... margin trading I think is detrimental to organic pricing with manufactured price swings on the books. I guess we'll see how the market behaves to buying pressure vis a vis whale shenanigans.

dmwardjr - Agreed, I think through sales and other metrics they can gauge the interest level and potential for BTCs price in our near future. I'd take the new batch 7 pricing as a monetary strategy based on Bitmain's projected earnings.

My Internet went down before i woke up this AM.

My S5s came back online when the internet came back up...but my S7 (batch 1) didn't. I can still see it when i check it thru my LAN. All the ASICs are there and have all 0's but there is no hashing. The fans are running too.

I rebooted. No change. I switched PSUs - still no change. I did a few reboots- no change. Then i reset it to factory settings- still no change. Finally, i called Bitmain in Denver. The tech guy used chrome remote desktop to look at my kernel log , miner status etc. Then he shh'd into my rig. He couldn't find a problem either.

So I will be contacting Bitmain to see what can be done.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I have this issue, go into Network>Diagnostic and then ping something. Go back after a minute and check if it is hashing.

Tried that already. The ping was successful but still no hashing.

Someone analyzed my kernel log today and replied with this:

"this looks like memory problem with your beagle bone black
change it with another BBB or find S5 BBB and reflash it for S7"

Bitmain said"

"i would suggest you to obtain micro SD card. and to mount s7 firmware from https://www.bitmaintech.com/support.htm?pid=00720151023101739550pOBiK5sO06A0

on sd card.

and then to place it in unit. maybe then unit will start working."

I will try that and let you guys know if it worked. I'm guessing more people will have this problem. If this fixes i, that would be nice.

I think all conditions are green for a huge pump.  There has been massive accumulation of btc in my opinion (look at low to moderate volume periods, with what seems like a price floor).  The halving in itself means nothing, except for less selling pressure AFTER it happens, but it is a good excuse/reason to pump and entice massive buying once the price skyrockets.  Financial types have been buying too as were reported in many articles on mainstream media, and they are out for one thing - profit.  they dont care about nothing but profit.  So dont sell and hold on tight we are heading for a wild ride.  But dont kid yourself, it will crash down like Iggy Azalea's career.  have fun.   └(°ᴥ°)┘

I'd be very interested if this works for future units.  I have already sent the 9 hashcards and 3 controllers back to Bitmain.

Is OregonMines a reputable hosting/colocation facility?  Has anyone done business with Matt Carson, VP Sales at OregonMines?

I need hosting/colocation for my S7s.

Assuming there is a Batch #8, I wonder if it will be a 135 chip miner (ala Batch #6), or a 162 chip version (ala Batch 1-5 & 7). It seems odd that they would go to the trouble of making new boards for Batch 6, and only do that one batch. Would it be possible to take a 54-chip board (i.e. the 162-chip miner) and stuff in 3 dummy non-hashing chips into each string to make a 45-chip Batch #6 board? That would eliminate the board re-design.

We probably won't really know what happened until there is a Batch #6 miner "in the wild" in December.

It's really going to take a score-card to keep all the flavors of S7 and their various attributes straight. Should make for a crazy resale market in the future.

Yes would love to be fly on the wall at Bitmain and hear the discussion behind all these variants? They could probably depopulate a 54 Chip bard & make a 45 Chip. I think in practice you would just miss out 3 chip tripples from the most convenient point in the middle of the chain and link across the data signals and power.



There is actually a very convenient point to do this. Red shows the path up the tripple node string starting in the top left corner. Blue shows where you could conveniently link across bypassing 3 nodes / 9 chips. That said I had assumed they would rev the board?

Another Day, another S7 variant, 135 Chip & 700MHz this time, someone is having a laugh....

less hashrate, more power consumption... makes sense.

Don't do it...Matt Carson was part of Minersource & ripped off alot of folks from the BlackArrow groupbuy 

He still owes quite abit of monies yet...& miners

[vortexz]

Wow batch 8 with 4.7e th/s and 700 mhz def freq. ?

[vortexz]

I wonder if they work good being so overclocked?

[yslyung]

could be a typo at BMT side ?

it's a 1 month ahead pre-order minimum !!! i'd say 5 weeks when u place order & send your btc to bmt

[vortexz]

Maybe batch 7 can be oced at 700 mhz as well???

[yslyung]

Typical hash rate and power

Voltage(V) Hash Rate(GH/S) Current(A) Total power(W) W/GH
0.71             38.75                14.350     10.189            0.263
0.66             32.50                10.760      7.102             0.219

hmmm ?

B7 - 162 chips - 1278W - Rated Voltage: 12.0V+5%, should not be less than 12.0V

B8 - 135 chips - 1293W - Rated Voltage: 11.60 ~13.00V

what's going on ? techies, chime in

Stay the hell away. Matt Carson is involved with them.... and if he is, they're definitely dodgy as well
