David,
To answer you question. All 3 of my Batch 10 units and 7 of my partner's do not have the 6 FAN or 9 Hashboard connections. They strip them off just like previous batch, although some units did include it in the past
It could be luck and they used up ones they had left with 9 connections. I wonder internally if they use 9, it would make sense that internally they like 3 together. That is pure speculation though. I am surprised they stripped them I always thought they might have did it for a S7+ one day, just like they did on S5+. But then the latest ones don't have 9. So I'm not sure what to think. Makes me think no S7+ in near future though or they would focus on 9 board versions. |

I suspect it's nothing more than a cost reduction. They can soon change to assembling boards with the full compliment of connectors if they want to do an S7+ Rich |

Surely someone have tried connecting more than 3 Hashboard to 1 S7 already right? Makes me curious if the current controller is even capable of handling up to 6 high wattage fans like the ones used on the S7 as that's 6 x 35W = 210Watts which is a lot. On the positive side, the network difficulty seems to be increased less than expected based on current prediction from bitcoinwisdom.com. Hope it will stay that way for a while. Time to make some BTC quick. =)

There is no problem with the fans, the Controller board has it's own PCI-e power connector & separate interface components for each fan. Early S7 Controller Boards were tested with 9 hash boards however later ones had a change to the firmware which reduced the max number that could be supported. Rich |

More positive news to cheer everyone up since the overall mood is the SKy is falling for this entire month. http://www.newsbtc.com/2016/02/21/bitcoin-price-surpasses-us455-moving-towards-us500/Bitcoin price has surpassed the US$455 margin in major exchanges. The positive announcements from the Core team and the increasing demand from Chinese investors have contributed to the rising price of Bitcoin. It spiked up to $455 today. WOWzzzzzzz |

What is this? The compensation for Batch 1 problems. They said they would properly compensate and they never did. |

2 of my s7 are freezing up - and I have tried everything but still the same - I have not opened it up yet due to warranty and want to send it back to BITMAIN for repairs. Does anyone know what is the procedures to send the units back. These units are bought new and still under warranty. Cheers!

Did you check for loose or dropped heat sinks inside? If no, please check it by disassembling the rear fan, if you find defected heat sinks, take them out and don`t use again. After you confirm the problem, please refer to https://enshop.bitmain.com/workOrderGuide.htmDirect from there tech support. |

I've been kind of re-working my profit strategy mainly in part because of the looming Bitcoin Reward Halving coming up in a few months.
I've been noticing on Coinwars, Bitcoin is pretty consistently -NOT- the most profitable. Bitcoin is usually 3rd or fourth most profitable, today its up to second with Peercoin being the most profitable and has been there for hours.
I know, its not uncommon for a coin to shoot up for 15 minutes, 30 minutes an hour, but then that coin will settle back near the bottom - some pump and dump stuff. But for the last couple weeks of looking at my profit strategy and Coinwars; the cryptocurrencies Mazacoin (MZC), Peercoin(PPC), eMark(DEM) and more recently SafronCoin SHA256 (SFR) have continually been rotating ABOVE Bitcoin.
I guess my question would be:
Has anyone switched from Bitcoin to another cryptocurrency because Bitcoin is currently not the most profitable? Or are you mining Bitcoin in hopes of Bitcoin rising in price?
===
I'm a bit torn between what will happen with reward halving.
1) Bitcoin could have a bit of a rise in value
2) Bitcoin mining could become absolutely unprofitable to mine at home or even as a business.
3) People will switch from Bitcoin mining to other SHA-256 algo cryptocurrencies since, like now, Bitcoin is not the most profitable and people would like to try and break even for the equipment purchased.
Myself, I'm leaning towards shifting 1/2 my mining hashpower to an auto switching pool which will mine the most profitable coins at the moment, and keep the other half on Bitcoin - I have around 25TH to play with. I'll then be "investment mining" if BTC rises in value, I'll have some BTC stashed, if Bitcoin drops like a rock and other cryptocurrencies vie for being "Bitcoin 2.0", I'll have some of the more active coins stashed for if they peak at a nice value. Then, after the reward halving, re-assess profitability mining as a whole.

Don't pay attention to Coinwarz, the other coins are usually profitable for like 1 hour of the day and only by a few %. Multipools kill any extra profits from mining those coins. |

On occasion, I mine some DGB or Emercoin. With DGB, sometimes i get stuck holding them to they rise again. But i have done ok with it. So if you need the $$ asap, DGB is not the way to go. For a short while, Emercoin was more profitable. I stopped mining it when it went below 20 cents and am just holding it now. Last i looked, it was close to 23 cents. Depending on difficulty, it might make more then BTC... but you gotta watch it closely- ie: doing the math often. Strange thing is that Coinwarz and What to Mine don't even list Emercoin and it's one of the coins that Microsoft has partnered with. I don't know if it will ever get as much demand as Ethereum (ie: the other coin Microsoft partnered with), but it looks like it has potential. In a nutshell, BTC is still my fave to mine with sha rigs. DGB and Emercoin have decent potential. I'm hoping that there's a couple other sha coins that survive -ie: so we can make $$ mining after the halving. But it seems to me that BTC is the coin for the long run. My crystal ball is not the best one.  EDIT: I'm guessing you know this. Poolpicker ( http://poolpicker.eu/table?algo=sha-256 ) gives you an idea about which Multipools are the best. Zpool does well...but my hash rate goes down a bit compared to mining on my fave BTC pool. So you have to constantly check if it's gain over a regular pool offsets the loss in hashing power. It has done so in the past and may do so again. Also, I agree with what the adaseb says about how multipools affect the price of a coin. |
