clgrissom3,
I'm having a beer now to celebrate your block find. Amazing to have 2 blocks found back to back by guys with 20 THS. cheers bud!

[dmwardjr]

I know this type of project is right up your alley and you've already pulled the trigger so to speak but you seem to be the perfect candidate for having your S7s hosted in a data center.  Good luck and I hope it all works out for you so you can get all of your machines pointed towards Kano!

Yes, I'm pulling the trigger.  I'm just the type of guy who prefers to do it themselves.  If anything were to go wrong with a rig, there is no one to blame buy myself or the manufacturer [Depending on what went wrong].  I feel better not being concerned about if anything went wrong, would I be compensated for the loss of a rig(s).  I've seen too many horror stories for me to risk 78 or more rigs potentially getting lost, stolen, burned up, etc... then hope they had insurance that would take care of it IN AN EFFICIENT AND TIMELY MANNER.

There are good hosting centers I might consider trusting in the future, such as, Toomin, sidehack, or Oregon Miners.  That's about it.  In the mean time, I intend to keep going here till I reach 600 amp demand and cannot add anymore.  THEN, I will see about hosting the rest afterwards.  The price savings between keeping them for myself verses hosting is very little difference IMHO.  At least during the winter.  At present, my revenue is 4 times my power costs.

EDIT:  BY THE WAY, Good job finding that block on kano.is

dmwardjr sir I can see that youre experienced in bitcoin and bitcoin mining.
I plan on buying the S7 Batch 8. I live in Macedonia so the estimated shipping is $150 for the miner and the PSU. I want to ask you what the life span of the S7 is, without overclocking. So I pay $1450 for miner and PSU, $150 for shipping, $80 for electricity each month. Will it be profitable now or in the future?
I just got into bitcoin, dont know much.

Here is some Overvolting - overclocking of my S7 Batch 1 with DPS-2000BB and J4bberwock breakout board.
Getting ~ 5660Gh/s, Voltage is 12.75 V under full load.
Power consumption at the wall is 1590Watt => 0.28J/Gh efficiency
I know it runs hot, but I need the silence.

AriesIV10 just mentioned this on the forum and they are right.  The RPM's on your fans are WAY TO LOW!  If it is on auto, take it off of auto and put it on manual to 100% as soon as possible.  At least 80 or 85 percent minimum.  My guess is you already have them on manual and need to increase the percentage.

Thank you for the advice but I want to keep the noise at a minimum. The fan is set to manual at 28%
If the temps goes > 75C, I will adjust the fan to 30%. Each 2% gives you ~ 4°C less temps.
Furthermore I checked BM1385 temp rating and Bitmain indicates here that they can take up to 125°C (Operation temperature : max 125°C) :

https://bitmaintech.com/files/download/BM1385_Datasheet_v2.0.pdf

I know the temp sensor is not on the chips but on the boards but it should work fine I think (If chips are less than 45-50C over the temp sensor it should be good)

Hey guys,
Anyone knows some software for multi managing S7's like the m miner monitor?
Thanks

I'm getting revenue profit:
$13.36 - $2.78 for electricity = $10.58 per day
Is this considered good?
And as I asked, what is the life span of the S7 Batch 8?

It's a lot of fun running my hash at Kano!    It feels good doing the right thing for Bitcoin at the same time.  Here's hoping you hit the next 4 blocks in a row!

I was a "do it yourself guy" also but I reached that fork in the road where I had to decide if I wanted to spend $$ expanding my electrical/cooling service or spend $$ on hosting.  That's when I discovered that hosting fees were lower than my electrical costs!  My S7s are being pampered at Toomim Brothers and the last of my S5s are at Mining Sweden.  My family is happy that I shipped out all of the jet engines!

Oh, by the way, Congrats!

BITMAIN website down again ?
I was wondering if they start shipping the B8 from stock already ?
I have placed my order on saturday morning, they say they are shipping in max 5 days after full payment

Curious:  Price Change?  New Model?  New Batch?  New Chips? 

[AriesIV10]

I have to let everyone know that Bitmain has contacted me and went through the shipping orders and has found that on my order, there were 2 hashboards missed on the shipping records.  Whew!   That was WAY TO MUCH MONEY to loose to replace them.  So, Bitmain is still on the Good List for customer service. 

[lanfeusst]

Yes very nice, that's more like the sort of Overclock that we should be seeing. 

Technically according to the BM1385 Data Sheet with 12.8V you should be able to run 775MHz giving 6278GH/s  Although I would want the fans running flat out for that...

Rich

Yes I tried to go higher with frequency(and fans accordingly to stay ~ 70C) but it would give higher HW errors and lower hashrate so...
I guess there are some losses trough the chains and the chips don't get the full voltage.

Good thing you held your end of the stick. I was worried for a while, if Bitmain had not given you back those blades, it would draw a pretty grim picture on what happen if your super expensive S7 does not work properly out of the box..

My average Hashrate is about 21.75 THs (4 S7's and 2 S5's) and I've had my account since September to test/sample the pool.  I finally went all-in in November.  No, I got my share just like everyone else...finding a block gets you acclaim and bragging rights.    It's just one of those cool things that matters on the Kano.is pool...getting your worker name listed on the acclaim board is like saying I've arrived.  I think the pool is 0.9% PPLNS but the payouts are way better than I ever got with the Antpool, f2Pool, or Slush...especially on those double block days!
