Here is a pic of all of my miners shown (11) right now. I had 3 overheat when the internet went out and I have shipped them back to Bitmain. I am waiting for their return. Electric is about 25% of my total cost per month. That comes out to be about $3700 per month with a ....
Bitmain didnt fix the internet problem yet ?? Did smith already have done a upgrade of the firmware to fix this ?? I think all smith's firmware a had the fan control built in with an updated cgminer for smoother connectivity. That's what I use on all my rigs and they all have been very stable for months. |

Anyone getting:
Unknown error: null
When trying to order the 1600 watt Power Supply?
It's been this way for weeks.
I belive you have to pay with BTC not USD |

3 of S7 Batch 5 I received this week fail to start. The controller board makes no indications of power and no fans start.
Seems like an RMA to me.
And of course I burnt the hell out of one of my pci-e while plugging in one of the control boards. Don't like that at all. Going to RMA that as well.
Damn shame I say.

sounds very unlikely...which PSU do you have? Did you install the jumper? re burning PCIe by plugging into controller-that's just pure trolling as controller does not consume enough power to burn a PCIe cable. You might have burned a connector (maybe!) if you inserted it backwards, but that's it. maybe you needed consultation or read more about it before trying something. |

Jumper? Can you explain? Using AWP batch 2, which comes with 2 less pci-e which kind of sucks. And not burnt cable, but scorched 6 pin that I don't like to see. I think the prescribed method of having to power the hash boards then the controller is pretty damn stupid. |

I think the prescribed method of having to power the hash boards then the controller is pretty damn stupid. what's AWP batch 2. Is this APW3 1600W or something else. If else, post what exactly is it. maybe Bitmain's PSU does not need jumper (someone who uses it can confirm either way)-I was talking about ATX PSUs (like EVGA or Corsair). prescribed method should be used ONLY if you use more than one PSU AND you connect boards and controller to unpowered PSUs, then switch PSU for boards first, THEN switch PSU for controller second- not attach controller LIVE while PSU is already powered, that's a bit reckless. EDIT: also, are you on 220/240V? APW will not work on 110/120V |

Ie turning on the psu plugged into the hash boards with the controller unplugged? Then plug in a hot pcie cable into your controller? |

Yup Yup Yeah that is how you scorched the controller jack. You arc the d c power . The instructions are written in a way that more then one person has done what you do. Never never never never never do that. 1 Plug in all pcie jacks with psu turned off. 2. Turn your psu or psu's on. 3. Look at your hash rates if they look like shit do a soft re boot via the system reboot option. |

All the talk of stale hashboards and the instructions in the box, kind of read to do that... But that only accounts for the scorched pci-e connector, not so much on the controllers not booting on all of the Batch 5. I did try before with all cables attached and it was the same. No nothing, led, ip, or fans. |

top notch chinese quality!!! at a minimum, you are not being fair. all iphones are being manufactured in China as well-do you have complains about the quality of these? I suggest to complain about particular cases, not unfairly generalizing, but, hey, say what you want, of course. |

The problem is the instructions can be interpreted to do just that. My first thought was that would work if you had 2 psu's I then said fuck that can't be right. I will plug every pcie cable then turn the psu's on. If the hash rate is fucked up I will reboot. Much more sound to power up the gear that way. |

People need to start gathering more information before doing things like hot plugging live current into the controller. Arcing is never good. It happen regularly that people think they need to unplug the controller, then power the boards then hot plug the controller. Its not what it says and since its indeed ambiguous, people should really ask before plugging something live. :S It just mean in the case where there is a need to use multiple PSU, flip the switch to power the PSU that power the controller last/at the same time as the other PSU(s). I have my multiple PSU on the same power bar anyways so when i want to power something multiple like this, i just flip the power bar's switch and done. Multi PSU works just fine this way. |

wow, my batch 7 shipped today !
edit : I belive they have noticed the high increase of diff and they have decided to ship them earlier.
Still isn't enough for them to ROI with this diff increase lately.

And checking again I have info for mine they come on dec 1st.
pretty fast since they are not due to be shipped until dec 7th.
they sold a huge amount of s-7's. I wonder what the markup was.
Or should I say I wonder what the lowest price for them really is.
I think they could sell these as low as 700 usd and turn profit on them.
They were able to keep the S-5 price at high levels I wonder if they can keep the s-7 above 1000. As a side note sales on hashnest have become slow.
They are listing cloud s-7 at 5.49 btc which is a lot more then a batch 8 s-7 it is not selling well.
Diff will cross 82 bill in 10 days.
