Re: ANTMINER S7 is available at bitmaintech.com with 4.86TH/s, 0.25J/GH

I bought 0.5w/GH hardware for 1BTC/TH over 6 months ago - its basically paid for itself and still holds the same value on the resale market. This stuff at 2BTC/TH, without power supply, is insanity

add the risk of miner failure! and that is over a longer time!

miner broken and you got fucked like a royalty!

This is a problem lots of people don't think about. Such a high value single product, one controller doing everything. The "idea" is NOT to put all your eggs in one basket.

buying 2 solves the problem as the controller can handle extra blades

Interesting. i didn't know that the controller could handle more blades. Is it the same controller as the S5+ that can handle 9 blades? That would be one monster miner with 3 S7s mashed together onto one controller to make a 14.58TH monster.

Duh I just looked at the original post and right there is a super clear picture of the controller with all 9 ports.
