Hello.
I'm a newbie here. I have been trying to learn a lot on the bitcoin mining world. I wanted to buy miner since GPU times, but never did. I have been following bitmaintech's products but never bought one until S7 B2.
Yes, I finally bought an S7 B2 from BMT and I wanted to add my two cents by saying it was shipped today.
My order was made on Oct 15th with a confirmed payment just less than an hour after my order was placed. And I received an email today from them (say 10h ago) saying my order was shipped with tracking number. I logged in on my BMT account and my order was updated with tracking # and I can check tracking # on dhl website. Everything seems to be right so far. As a note, they shipped two packages as they updated my shipping info with two tracking numbers. I ordered an S7 B2 and one 1600W PSU from them. That's all I ordered and this is my very first time buying bitcoin miners.
Main outlet voltage here is 120V but I can get 240V from the two 120V phases. I think I can do it with an electrician and also thanks to all the help a lot of you have been providing on this thread. Thank you so much!!!
I will be reading dogie guides to make the proper setup to the miner but if I have any question I'll let you know as this is my first time doing this.
Thank you again.
It's good to hear you had a pleasant experience with BMT. I ordered Batch #1 on September 3, 2015 and received it on October 16, 2015. It was 4 days past the deadline. You just happen to order at a good time.
As for my order; yes, it was late. Do I feel it was a scam? HELL NO!!! Do I feel like I was treated fairly? Yes! Do I feel like the compensation to come is fair? Yes! Others with less power cost or no power cost may not agree. So, BMT did an "average" for compensation. Was it a scam? HELL NO!!!
Have some received equipment with heatsinks out of position and actually causing some rigs to burn up? Yes. Did they get satisfactory response to resolve the issue? I would say more than likely, YES!!! Is this a perfect world with perfect people and perfect government with perfect corporations? No! Do some governments and corporations take advantage of people? Yes. Do I think BMT took advantage of those it sold S7's to? HELL NO!!!
Do I think BMT learned from the issues that developed during this episode with the S7's? Yes. Will they learn from this episode? Yes. Will something like this happen again? Probably not. Will something else come up in the future with other models yet to come on the market? Possibly... It's not a perfect world. Will they offer a means of correcting a potential issue in the future? I would say, YES!!!
BMT has been a good company and just as loyal to the home/small farm/large farm miner than any other manufacturer out there. I believe you were in good hands when you placed your order with them. I'm happy this forum has been informative to you and I want to welcome you to the fold.
Happy mining, reinaldo, and may the blocks be with you!

Thanks for welcoming me!
Yes, I also thought I made the order at a good time. Luck for me!!!
I've heard BMT is a good company and at this moment I better buy from them. Too bad B1 was delayed a lot of time, but as you said, it's not a perfect world. Yet I have to accept if that would have happened to me I would be very disappointed and pissed off, so I think I can understand a lot of people frustration about this.
As you said... I hope they learn from this and try to prevent these situations.
I'm not taking my shipment as a complete winning yet. I know I also need to wait for the miner to hash at the rate is supposed to, so I need to be wished good luck yet.
Anyway, thanks for replying and may the blocks be with you LOL ( I loved that saying when I read it from you several days ago here, LOL)
Bye
Reinaldo.
