Hi good days,
I have a few question about the S7 miner hope to get some help & guidance.

1. Does the S7 miner need break/rest time.? If run it for 24/7 how long can we keep on going like that.?

2. Does the APW3-12 bitmain power supply good enough or need to get different one.?

3. Anyone know the lifespan of S7 miner if run 24/7.?

I have one running since sept 2015
that is one of the first ones delivered so it can run for at least 10 months.
Keep it clean and cool I would think 2 yearsp

4. Is there any other crypto currency that can S7 miner be used for.?

Those are some of the questions I can think of for now ...

Thanks for your advice & replies

I answered no. 3 above in blue

A good example of how long miner's can go is the S3 and S3+. If treated well they keep on hashing, those with "free electricity" have done very well with them in many cases as they keep working. Yes you have to clean and use decent PSU's. But they can have a very longspan. I mean going back to stuff that no longer makes sense to mine with like asicminer blades, and usb sticks a lot of them still work longer then mining makes sense.

On PSU the APW3 will work fine with S7 and S9. I have used it without any issues in my mining area. I sold my S7's as it no longer made sense to mine for me. And I kept my APW3's they work great with S9 which is great as I have already paid for them long ago.
