(hacked) S7LN Group Buy

[bronxnua]

Don't forget, all transactions need to be accompanied with a signed message to verify.

how is it going with your board to replace the s1 or others?

[sidehack]

We've reached quorum for the second set, so I'll be placing that order as soon as some coins confirm.

Also, heck with coin going crazy all day. Let's just say $430 at transaction time, which is about $60 over purchase plus shipping. That'll cover everything on my end including reshipping within the US. I'll see about accelerated shipping for folks who have already bought, seeing as how much coin went up between when they paid and when the order finally went through.

EDIT - round 2 is ordered. This time instead of taking 2 days and a resubmitted transaction to confirm, it was like three minutes. Thanks, the network, for doing your job this time.

Anyone want to help me figure out how to sign a message?  Maybe I'm dumb, but I've spent an hour trying to figure this out on my blockchain wallet and can't.  I've read this:  https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/18qy88/bitcoin_message_signing_and_verification/ without figuring it out.
I've found this:  https://support.blockchain.com/hc/en-us/articles/210353833 which states:  

"What is message signing, and how can I do that?

Message signing is a way you can prove you control a particular address, and demonstrate you have ownership of the funds.

This feature is currently only available for your Imported Addresses, but will be implemented for all addresses in the future. To sign a message, go to Manage Addresses to the right of Imported Addresses. Choose which address you want to sign, and click More Options -> Sign Message.

A small window will display allowing you to provide a unique message or signature that identifies you as the owner."

Now I didn't import an address for the transaction, so maybe that's why I'm not getting it?

Coinbase doesn't even let you do this. I chatted with them and it's not even possible since they mix the transaction before sending it out. Their recommendation was to 'transfer the funds to a wallet you control' first. AAAAaaaargh!

But with a lot of PMs, begging, links to the trx and screen shots, sidehack decided to trust me.

So if you're thinking about this and your spendable btc are in Coinbase, move them to a 'real' wallet

It is possible to sign a message in coinbase, but you have to find the address that was used for the transaction. I did test this a number of months ago and will test again to confirm it still works.

Yep, another good reason to not use an online wallet. For the record I do have a Coinbase wallet, and the 1F address I've taken payments to for general business stuff for the last couple years is a Coinbase address - but all the fun stuff, the 1BURGER and the museum address and the coldS7, have been actual local wallets. Just like a manual transmission, it gives you a lot more control at the cost of a bit more work.

Also, I just got ship notification for the second round, which means both batches of miners are in transit. I'll probably have them all tested and out the middle of next week.

As of right now I've had two other people ask about 'em, so there's probably going to be a third round.

good.

now we need to do this with the s-9  if possible.  maybe after the ½ ing

 we can have a fund raiser to get an s-9 for you to hack at.

[sidehack]

Who knows, there might be an all-software option ironed out by then. I did get a PIC firmware dump from an S9 but I'm not quite up to reverse-engineering a 3600-byte PIC program since I just started learning the instruction set last Friday.

[achtung082]

Hope they release a S9LN before winter. The LN versions should be great for home heating especially if you can get the right fan combo to reduce the sound. From the day I got my early batch S7's I wished they were only 2 blades, I just never got round to making smaller/modifying enclosures for them.

Sweet! Looking forward to adding to my collection of operating miners.

[LukeTheMiner]

I'm interested in the possibility of acquiring one of these.

[aruca]

Am I too late? I'm interested as well.

[sidehack]

That's four or five people now with interest again. I'd say it's enough for another round.

[sidehack]

Round 1 machines are in and I've worked them up. So far of the twelve boards between six machines, 11 of them look to be stable at 650/620 and one needed to be stepped up to 660/630 to run 450MHz.
They're all cooking now. If I don't see any issues by about this time tomorrow they'll all get shipped out to Round 1 customers.

I'm all over this one. I'd love to contribute

[sidehack]

So what, we should start the "buy Sidehack an S9 he can destroy without remorse" fund?

What's the BTC cost to get in on the 3rd round?

[Sierra8561]

If necessary, I'd chip in.

[sidehack]

Current cost is $420 at time of transaction. I'm not going to set a BTC price because every time I do it changes. Honestly I should have done that from the start. I can get one from Bitmain for $373 shipped, plus reshipping within the US and a bit of work and testing. I'm using some of the overhead to buy a spare miner or two in case something doesn't pass muster, which is always possible.

Round one has arrived and are currently running smoothly. Round 2 are in transit, hopefully to arrive tomorrow. I'm okay with a Round 3 if folks want to start chipping in. I'm starting them out at 620mV cold and running 450MHz (2TH, ~420W); any boards which aren't stable at 620 get bumped up to 630mV. Any boards not stable at 630mV get rejected. So far I've had two boards out of 16 not stable at 620mV, and one appears to be stable at 630mV.

If you specifically want a different setting (say, optimized for a specific hashrate or power consumption) let me know and I'll try for it.

All the miners are testing pointed to Eligius on the 1ColdS7 address so anyone can see how they're behaving.

This is good news.

When I get mine I will post a review and show how much improvement can be done with  a titanium psu.

I may also try replacing fans with these.

I think these will use less power then the stock ones.

[sidehack]

I changed the price to $420. I got to thinking about it, and the $430 I'd set was for a guy using PayPal. Their fees would end up eating about $20 off that, so adding $10 splits the fees evenly between me and the buyer. Course adding $10 also incentivises buyers to use BTC when possible, which is handy because Bitmain doesn't take PayPal and the coins for the order have to come from somewhere.

Looks like Round 2 units are still sitting in a DHL warehouse in Ohio, where they've been since Saturday night. I've already heard from them and given them updated customs info and expected to see the truck this morning but according to tracking they're still in Ohio. Sorry, batch 2 guys. I'll stick with UPS for shipping. The prices between the two weren't that different, and I wanted to test which had the better service. I've received express packages from China in under 30 hours (even account for time zone differences) via DHL before.
