oh well I missed being a legend by a few weeks.
I have 4 of them.

 I did a big thread for free.  never asked for a review unit.

I  did not get much love here.

How about a t-shirt and a good discount on my next one I purchase?

Oh I just setup 2 sp20's on my evga 1600 p2  early results are  1355 watts at the k-watt and 2473 gh

that is .54 watts a gh  and just under 2500gh on 1 circuit

 I will post results in my unoffical  sp20 thread.

Dont want to sound sore because Im not a "legendary", but I have to point out a legendary account (gusti) was recently sold and has been used to legitimize a scam: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=887578

Id appreciate you add as criterion a legendary account with no negative trust or something along those lines. Unless you like being endorsed by known (even if, legendary) scammers.

I am still going to buy more sp20's  from you.  I am testing lowest underclock numbers at the moment.

I am able to run 2 sp20's with ease on the evga 1600  p2 . getting 1266 watts and 2400 gh

Looking to do 2 on the evga 1300 g2 safely. this will allow me to have more sp20's should know in a day.

It does have some merit. But what does matter (to me at least) is your actual reputation.

yeah I am a bit annoyed being short of a legend .  but make lemonade from lemons


 so a shout out to the legends testing please try the killer delta  fan and over clock the unit.


 I would love to see the user's show the over clock potential.  maybe a better fan for the under clock guy like my self.  for that matter maybe someone would use the super powerful monster delta fan for over clock .  it moves 25 percent more air then the stock fan.  mr teal is really handy with gear.

this is the fastest fan around.  would be the best for over clocking maybe??

Another quick question for you spondoolie,

When it says within three days,  would you like us to run them for a specified amount of time before we write the review. I am not sure how accurate a review would be if cranked out within three days. Is it ok if we RUN the device for at least 3 days first, then post the review within the week?

noticed this review on teh fan and HAD to post it:

Quote
Pros: 240.96 CFM of raw unadulterated airflow. If you are looking for a cat that purrs this is not for you. This baby stakes its claim as airflow champion by screaming at 62 dBA. This is its war-cry that will strike fear into the hearts of its competitors. Even that sissy vacuum you have will drop its tail between its legs and hide in a corner whimpering after it hears this monster from across the room. Sure you could buy a fan that is silent, one that conforms to the standard toy of a fan, the kind of fan that won't bite if you try to pet it. I am sure it will get along nicely with the world's propeller hats and pinwheels. Or you could get this beast of a fan that growls because everything gets too close. The kind of fan that bites if you get too comfortable with it. The kind of fan that would make a manly man grunt like 'Tim "The Toolman" Taylor' in satisfaction.

Cons: Despite it's airflow tenacity, it will not generate enough lift to make your computer fly. This is a huge con but since other computers don't generally fly I won't dock an egg.

Not exactly.  It's by randomly generated number.  From Meta:

Quote
Legendary:   Activity: the Legendary membergroup has no universal activity requirement.
You are guaranteed to become Legendary somewhere between 775 and 1030 activity,
but the exact point in this range at which you become Legendary is random

So a number of us weren't as lucky as others.

Actually more like giving to people who have been around a while, not just some random person that just created an account or an account that is only a month or so old. You also don't see many Legendary accounts up for sale so lowers the chance of someone just buying the account. Activity is calculated with Min(time*14, posts), legendary accounts simply spend a lot of time on the forums, whether they have actual experience or just a lot of time is another thing.

I think it's a nice idea.  I am unfortunately not legendary so I wont be in this party, but if each one of the 10 does a review would be interesting to see.

For the record I do have a SP-20 and so far has ran great.  I am a fan.

They got solid hardware, and they are marketing the right way IMO. Most experienced miners know what they are getting into, and like anything its a risk with a possible reward. If BTC suddenly jumped to over 2k per BTC, then the mining is worth it. So its a growing market still with the blockchain tech being a huge part of it.

At any rate these guys have done right by the community. So I welcome the reviews by the legendary contributors.

10 reviews from different people, I think it would be better 10 reviews should be able to get a bunch of honest reviews out of it. If 10 different people all give a good review, then its a good product. Currently "review" units are sent to a very limited / select group of people. I personally would like to see reviews come from different people.

so a shout out to the legends testing please try the killer delta  fan and over clock the unit.


 I would love to see the user's show the over clock potential.  maybe a better fan for the under clock guy like my self.  for that matter maybe someone would use the super powerful monster delta fan for over clock .  it moves 25 percent more air then the stock fan.  mr teal is really handy with gear.

this is the fastest fan around.  would be the best for over clocking maybe??

Depending the application, the 210CFM QFR1212GHE will actually move more air than the 240CFM AFB1212GHE. Like a lot of fans tailored to moving air without restriction they have a shelf on their pressure-airflow curve, and once you get to around 0.5"H20 they quickly lose any advantage they have over a fan designed to really push air. The downside is the QFR is louder, spins faster and uses more power.

No what you want is the PFC1212DE-PWM or PFB1212UHE-F00 (if you want non PWM without a connector)

Dimensions:   120 x 120 x 38 mm
Power Leads Length:   300 mm
Rated Voltage:   12 V DC
Operating Voltage:   8.0 to 13.2 V DC
Input Current:   4.00 A
Input Power:   48.00 W
Speed:   7160 RPM
Max. Airflow:   252.85 CFM
7.160 m^3/min
Max. Air Pressure:   1.412 IN H2O
35.877 mmH2O
Noise:   66.5 dBA

Problem with the SP20 is it uses a custom header plug onto the controller card. Shouldn't be a problem for you chaps handy with a soldering iron though.

I have a pile of the TFC1212DE's which are the same fan, and I find them a bit of a waste. If you look at the datasheet (http://www.delta.com.tw/product/cp/dcfans/download/pdf/PFB/PFB120x120x38mm.pdf), you'll see the same shelf I was describing with the AFB. Compare that with the QFR1212GHE (http://www.delta.com.tw/product/cp/dcfans/download/pdf/QFR/QFR120x120x38mm.pdf) where the P-Q curve is actually convex.
At around 14mmH20 the PFB is at 150CFM, while the QFR is a little lower but similar. From there the curves are pretty similar with a slight advantage to the PFB, but not one that justifies its more than twice as high power consumption.

The biggest benefit to the PFB1212 is you can get them used on eBay for a couple bucks each.

Post by: Biffa on December 10, 2014, 12:48:48 AM
Yes but whats interesting here is the requirement is more of a case fan than of a heatsink fan or radiator fan, because the fan isn't facing a lot of restriction its just pulling air through the case and out the end.

They use a YS Tech FD1238UB Waterproof fan.

http://s28.postimg.org/gqgd5fel9/sp20_fan.png

CFM is only 212 but its got a very mechanical noise to it.

I've been trying other fans with less noise but have yet to beat it for cooling. Got a few more fans coming in the next few days to test though.

You probably have a lot more sitting on shelves :)

Thanks Ognasty for your help.

Although after careful consideration I have let the OP know that I am declining the free unit due to my own time constraints during and around the holiday season.

I appreciate the gesture and will not forget it. You sir stand out from the crowd in the way you appear to do business with allowing reviews of your hardware free of charge.

Currently now there is ONE more available slot for a legendary member given I am declining the unit.

Aloha,

I have an AX1200 and it runs the SP20 flawlessly, however - it is slightly downclocked to allow headroom.
If you want to run full pelt, get the 1300

i personally would avoid the LEPA like the plague since its multi rails..... Read as if one of the rails powering a blade fails it could overload the other connector and make smoke

2x Cx750m?  I ask b/c it seems the flat power cables they ship with seem larger gauge and better able to handle higher currents than the sleeved ones

Welp, I skimped and got the sleeved ones. I think it shouldn't be that much of a difference, would it?

I really think that philipma1957 deserves one. His post count is in the range of Legendary's and he has done a lot to promote the SP20 for you guys already. If there is an exception to be made I think this is the one.

wow someone in my corner.  thanks,

I finished my how low can you go testing this morning.

 Seems that an underclock to 1200-1225 is stable  this means 2 will work on the evga 1600 p2 or evga 1600 g2  with under 1350 watts.  

which means a USA 15 amp circuit can run two of them under the safety number of watts 1440 is the derated number.

Sooo on the low end 650-675 watts at 1225 is pretty easy .

Hint 2 cheaper psus on one circuit  allow for  more then 2400gh

No real difference just definitely keep an eye on cable temps if you overclock the crap out of it by pushing the cable watts past about 250/per in the config ui on the miner

No difference, they're both 18AWG on 750Ms. Only the CX1000s and nearby are 16AWG. I use 2x 750Ms without problem on an SP20, cable temps will not be a problem.

Did you change the voltage also?  is this possible?  Is there another thread listing clocking options?

the S3's give you a voltage change option, but it did not change the wattage draw.

edit:  I will be reviewing the SP20 and I want to be able to put it thru it's paces.

I'm not sure separate threads would be a good idea - there's already about 5 SP20 threads and another 10 is going to annoy the admins. Heck, even 5 is more than other products are usually allowed before things start getting merged.

but each review is bound to be different, so merging them would cause slight confusion to anyone asking questions or giving remarks.
the way i see it, it's not entirely a marketing ploy as these miners are selling well, more of a thank you gift to those who have been in the mining game since days of yore so I don't see an issue with having separate review threads. Perhaps the Admins should consider making child boards for each manufacturer. within the hardware section?

   The random number idea never meant anything in terms of coins, but now it unfortunately it has  punished people.
   Shame as it is a nice promo that now has managed to  make a  hero over 775 lose a  $700 usd gift.
   There are at least 6 or 7 of us in this spot.

Anyway I did an over night test of one of my 5 sp20's  I ran it under clocked at about 725 watt and 1289 gh using a seasonic 860 plat psu.  No worries as it did fine.  One of the nice things about this promo is many of the members have different psu's and they can test them to show results.

I'll be overclocking it with two CX750's as long as it's not too noisy. Judging from the snowfall out there, the holiday season should be perfect for some mining to heat up everything. :)

got my tracking number :)

I will run it stock for a day or so.  then I will over clock and under clock .

I will probably use a couple of 750's at first for the ability to use the killawatt, but I would like to wire it directly to a IBM 24R2710 DPS-2000BB 2000Watt Power Supply

once I wire it to this supply, I will have to measure the amps on the 6G wire directly

the aircon is set at 16celcius.

I have 1 xSP31 running in a garage unit, however they draw cool air from the back wall which is currently ~5celcius and intake temps are at ~11celcius

I have 1 x SP20 in the room next to the lounge in my home, pulling air directly from outside, through an open window (bugger it's cold outside) and it's running perfectly well.

that's about all i can advise really  :-\

by the way some years ago when I was looking for land I had  a suggestion for a really nice land
with a big minus it was next to a graveyard.I did not like the idea off-course and turned down the offer
but today seeing the place the owner planted large trees and the graveyard cant be seen from his farm.
not like this picture off-course...

I don't need to do a temp test from the window, I can SEE it lol:

You live in a graveyard?   ???
Those miners can be loud... careful they don't raise the dead.

*Careful they don't mask the sound of the dead being raised.
I'll be overclocking it with two CX750's as long as it's not too noisy. Judging from the snowfall out there, the holiday season should be perfect for some mining to heat up everything. :)

My old friend, I am sorry in advance :P A minor underclock and you should be okay to lower the 80% fan down.

 :'( Not even if I point it at the frigid air outside? It's been some time since I mined after the days of FPGA's and GPU's, so I'm not too sure what to expect here.

Its a 30W fan at 100%, compared to your usual fan of ~2W. This is big boy mining now :P

I am not an engineer, but I would venture to say that some of the noise would be shape and placement of the holes the air is moving thru.

Not any more they not, that graveyard hasn't been planted in since before WW1!
The old kirk building is the oldest surviving building in my town and my house was built not long after, in the 1860's.

Looking forward to reading your thoughts about it.  I'm not familiar with how these things are run, but it sounds like they have an interface you access via IP similar to a CoinTerra miner?

Thanks guys, but I'm trying to connect this to a workspace network that requires me to add the MAC address of it to work, and I don't see it despite being being connected to the same network. (probably because the router rejects its connection). I tried connecting the LAN cable to my laptop directly, but I can't seem to find it either.... any ideas?

If you are able to connect to it through a different network it says to far right side once connected:
Hostname
    miner-xxxxxx
MAC address
    xxxxxxxx

Hardware Version
    SP20E Jackson
FW Version
    2.5.33
CGMiner Version
    cgminer4.7.0
CGMiner Status
    Running
MinerGate Status
    Running

*I put X on a few things to not show mine (Probley was not needed)

So if you can get to it on another network you could easily get the mac address and use it on the network you want after.

well, your laptop won't give it an IP address if it is not running a DHCP server,

but maybe you can try to

ping the broadcast address of the network your laptop lives in, something like:

ping 192.168.1.255

then issue a

arp -a

which should show you the arp table and, maybe, the mac address of your miner.

Otherwise, install wireshark and with it running and capturing, connect the sp20 and power it on, it should try to find a DHCP server and you should be able to see its mac address.

(probably because the router rejects its connection). I tried connecting the LAN cable to my laptop directly, but I can't seem to find it either.... any ideas?

If you are able to connect to it through a different network it says to far right side once connected:
Hostname
    miner-xxxxxx
MAC address
    xxxxxxxx

Hardware Version
    SP20E Jackson
FW Version
    2.5.33
CGMiner Version
    cgminer4.7.0
CGMiner Status
    Running
MinerGate Status
    Running

*I put X on a few things to not show mine (Probley was not needed)

So if you can get to it on another network you could easily get the mac address and use it on the network you want after.
Welp, I guess I'll have to buy a router then. Is there any way I can view its MAC address by just plugging it directly to my laptop via ethernet?

well, your laptop won't give it an IP address if it is not running a DHCP server,

but maybe you can try to

ping the broadcast address of the network your laptop lives in, something like:

ping 192.168.1.255

then issue a

arp -a

which should show you the arp table and, maybe, the mac address of your miner.

Otherwise, install wireshark and with it running and capturing, connect the sp20 and power it on, it should try to find a DHCP server and you should be able to see its mac address.

Tried, but it's still not showing up on the myminer.io page. I've bought a router off Amazon with 1 day shipping. :'(

John,

I work somewhere that limits access to the dhcp system via mac addresses, surely there will be logs showing the SP20 trying to connect and being rejected. Unless you don't have access to that system.

The SP20 is setup differently to other miners in that it needs DHCP to get its IP address, some others like the Bitmain kit comes with a preset IP address, which requires a different set of hoops to jump through :)

Nah, no access to that. :( I was wondering if it will give a login page if I manage to find its IP? I found (what I think is) its MAC address using wireshark, and have given it access to the network, but none of the IP's seem to give any access at all to the control interface. myminer.io is empty as always...

I thought I got the actual MAC (probably not) of the miner by doing the wireshark trick and whitelisted it, but apparently it's not the MAC here as I couldn't connect to any of the devices on the network via a browser. Anyway, I got a router in the mail - hopefully tomorrow should work!

With Wireshark you can find the DHCP discover message the SP20 initiate.
Get the MAC address from it and ask your workplace system admin to configure the DHCP server to give the miner an IP address.

I'd cancel that router .. but in the meantime, go here >> http://www.dhcpserver.de/cms/

Install that on your laptop. Take 1 cable and connect it between the miner AND YOUR LAPTOP.
You'll get a "mininetwork" with only two items on it. The miner will receive an IP address from that software.

Then you can browse to the miner address and find out the mac address to add it in your office configuration.

You can also set it to a fixed (known) IP address, add the office gateway information, then plug it in the office network.

You don't need the office DHCP server to give you anything. Just "take what you can, give nothing back" .. that's a saying from Pirates of Caribbean ..

Got mine up and running in low power mode thanks to philipma1957's excellent thread here.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=872014.0

Had to run a port scanner on my subnet to locate it's DHCP lease - Located an unknown system with ports 22, 80 and 443 open.

Log in with user admin, password admin.

At 40% fan, it was measuring ~80dbA with my American Recorder Technologies SPL-8810 level meter. Too loud to run in a bedroom, so moved it upstairs to replace a Bitfury rig I still had chugging away at 500GH/S.

It's sitting on a circuit with an S3, and both of them combined are pulling ~1150W at the wall.

try the asic settings page to see your temps.  

I think you can lower the fan.  those settings (fan at 60) should be giving you temps at 85c  at the chips.  the chips are fine at 105-110c

Got mine as well, took me 3 minutes and 46 seconds to set it up, including unboxing, unpackaging PSUs, jumping them, configuring the miner status, and then running. Pretty happy with that so far. I didn't do anything with IP/Mac Addresses, I just plugged it in and went to myminer.io

edit* about as loud as a low powered vacuum cleaner. However I haven't tinkered with the fan settings or anything else yet, its just been running at 80% fan. Like most asics I suppose at stock settings, its fine if you have a basement or a room out of the way, but I probably wouldn't put it in a living space.

Good and bad news. :D
I got it working after noticing that the standard vendor MAC address is Texas Instruments (from Xian01's post up there) and with a combination of Wireshark.

Bad news: My ethernet port is dead, that's why I didn't get the initial connection. The router will have to come tomorrow either way. :D

I'll let it run for a few hours at least, and report back. Right now at 80% it's quite loud.

folks, a little guide to help you get the most out of your SP20 mining for the next few days (sorry if i'm trying to teach granny to suck eggs, but i've been asked by users who own SP20's)

Got mine as well, took me 3 minutes and 46 seconds to set it up, including unboxing, unpackaging PSUs, jumping them, configuring the miner status, and then running. Pretty happy with that so far. I didn't do anything with IP/Mac Addresses, I just plugged it in and went to myminer.io

edit* about as loud as a low powered vacuum cleaner. However I haven't tinkered with the fan settings or anything else yet, its just been running at 80% fan. Like most asics I suppose at stock settings, its fine if you have a basement or a room out of the way, but I probably wouldn't put it in a living space.

I could not expect less from ishmael :) after some nuclear power plants study, this is "vacation time".

PS: Any ideas on how to get the WAN address showing? I'm still manually connecting to it directly as it never shows on myminer.io. Anyhow, I'm really happy with it (1.6TH/s stable). It managed to crash completely twice during the day (in which there was no connection to the IP and I had to restart it manually), but that's probably due to overheating. First impressions and reviews/pics will come tomorrow after I let it run a complete night.

The units report back "home" if in the settings tab you have that option checked (it's on by default though). Then the myminer.io gets updated ..

Note: myminer.io does not list your miner if:
1. the miner does not see the net (i.e. you mine on your local p2pool node or similar)
2. if the register option is off (settings tab, at the bottom)
3. your PC and the miners are in different subnets

Make sure the miners get their time right (ntp), and have a consistent pool connection.

What ports does the SP20 talk to myminer.io on?

Should be on 80 .. It's a curl call in CRON to a SAILS framework located at http://pnp.spondoolies-tech.com ... see /etc/cron.d/pandp_register.sh.

Hello!

Just received my sp20, I have it hashing away at default settings.  
Using 2 SS 650's golds.  
pulling 1017 watts at the wall
1.54 Th/s    1.45 Th/s


couple of things i noticed..

my webmonitor not working out of the box, the api returns are different then my ants
someone said loud as a vacuum.. that is exactly the noise it makes :)

will let it run for 24 hours then begin my report.

Jim

edit:  are we suppose to just post here? start a new thread?

I'd start a new thread for your review .. The units are running cgminer 4.7.0, optimized for the SPT units by ckolivas. Are your ants running something different?
By default the api is accessible from localhost only. You have to modify cgminer.conf if you want it enabled over the lan.

Please remember that the firmware was ported from the data-center ready units (SP3x) where lan api access was deemed a security risk, since you can modify the configuration and repoint the miners to different pools with it. In a hosted environment with ssh access, that's neat huh?

It might be case 3, as I'm on an extremely big network. Any other way to determine its address? I remember reading somewhere that I can ssh to it, and after trying it indeed accepts ssh access. It doesn't really accept the password I set using the Web UI though, is there a specific username/command I should use?

I used "SSH admin@(the ip)", and I imputed  the password afterwards.

the default ssh credentials are root/root .. while the default UI credentials are different .. admin/admin

Any suggestions on how would I find its external IP given SSH access? I guess I could always send a ping or something from it to a vps I own, but that's kinda convoluted.

One last question - I'm having troubles connecting to it over an external network, e.g. if I use my phone network it doesn't pull up the web UI. Is there any way around this? If this works, I'll be able to monitor this over the internet.

I made some units to log the data out somewhere and I just monitor the logs.

here's how I get to the data:
https://github.com/wh00per/SPT-Historian/tree/master/SP30

Here's how it looks:
http://powerprice.info/SPT/graphic.php



By default you can extract a JSON out of the unit by browsing to the http://<miner's IP address>/monitor.php
IMHO it's too much cgminer there and absolutely no power-related data ... but heh it's good because it's persistent after reboot.

Hehe, its been a while hasn't it? I only dabble with nuclear plants nowadays since DHS shut down my last one.

Something to note, I was having major stability issues with 2 Corsair 850 PSUs (overkill I know) I swapped those out and went with a single Corsair 1250W and my hashrate has stayed completely stable for a few hours now, The SP20 UI is showing a bit under 1.6THash, but Eligius has been reading it as 1.8 Thash consistently. 80% feed capped at 1000W max.

Well, I'm not a legendary, but I sure can test and do odd things with Jallies.... :-)

If you want me to take a look at your miner and put it through it's paces, let me know. I've got tools to measure power, factor, heat, what happens when you drop it in a bucket of water, how easily it comes apart, etc. :-) If it's got open software I'd really have a good time.

It could be interesting to futz with something different.

still trying to set mine up, it wont connect to my raspberry pi's ethernet bridge (but my laptop and other devices will...)
I dont have access to a router in the area the miner needs to be so I need to find some solution to running it wirelessly.

myminer.io is not a settings page, it is a handy page that shows all the Spondoolies-Tech rigs on your local network. Then you can click on the rig to be taken to the web page for that rig (where you can then adjust all the settings for that rig).

alright, so i have my windows laptop creating a network bridge, plugged in the miner via ethernet to my laptop in hopes of it being able to connect. Its been a few minutes and still it has not shown up. Does this thing just not like network bridges? I feel like I am still doing something wrong.

Nope, that doesn't work. (tested yesterday) You need your computer to be a DHCP server as it needs its own IP address to be able to work. Here's one wh00ps gave me yesterday: http://www.dhcpserver.de/

Ok cool, thanks for the link john. I have it now connected to my wifi but i cannot edit the preferences from other computers connected to the wifi network. Is it safe to assume i can edit the changes while im connected via ethernet (with the dhcp server running) then unplug it and it will fetch data over wifi?

ah no luck, the wifi option seems to be completely disabled now after a firmware upgrade. It doesnt seem to want to scan anymore, with the 3 different dongles I tried (including the one I tried before) This is starting to become a huge hassle, lol

The first 10 Legendary rank forum members that will PM me with their address and contact details will receive each a SP20 for review, free of charge.
The only condition is to post the review, including pictures, under a new thread under Mining -> Hardware, within 3 days of receiving the hardware.

How about posting links to all the reviews in the initial announcement here?

I have been able to test in single digit cold in Celsius this week.   The miner has preformed perfect and here is a review with it mining in the cold- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=896656

I have to say this has become my favorite miner with the testing and doing a review.  Thanks Spondoolies for treating me as amazing online as you did in person at the North American Bitcoin Conference in Chicago.

Mine got delayed in shipping. I will review it as soon as I can get my hands on it.

EDIT:  Called FedEx to see why my package is still in Israel.  They said there is a "customs strike (http://www.tnt.com/express/en_ie/site/home/support/service_alerts.html)" that is holding up packages.   It may be a while before I get my hands on the SP20.   :'(

While this was way cool of SPT to do it is a little annoying to have sooooooooo many SP20 reviews cluttering up the hardware section.  I think most of those reviews unless specifically bumped will fall quickly out of view.  I think it would have been better to have SPT officially start an "SP20 LEGENDARY Review thread".  Have all 10 of the legendaries (who are jacked up after receiving free yummies) in one nice big circle jerk of a thread!!

I'm always surprised by the modding rules here, if this was almost any other forum all those threads would have been merged my the mods any ways.  Oh well it truly is like Deadwood round these parts!

Gratz guys enjoy your new toys  ;D

nice----    real nice  

now if you have the sound covered
say a barn in the winter time

you could run 45. = under 24000 usd

wire it  220volts  200amps = 44kwatts x .8 =   35k watts for miners  45 miners x 800 watts = 36 kwatts. and 63th  

use 2000 watt sever psu's   25 of them.  at 100 each with break out boards  = 2500 usd

so 26500 usd  some odds and ends

  you could have it up and running for under  30,000 usd  =  63th   with a 35 kwatt power use  = .555 a watt

I have to say this has become my favorite miner with the testing and doing a review.  Thanks Spondoolies for treating me as amazing online as you did in person at the North American Bitcoin Conference in Chicago.

I should have done a little more thanks for the chance.  Thank you Guy and the rest of the Spondoolies team. Was a great opportunity to do this and was fun.

I am a decent sized hobby miner.  And have a little of a wide variety of miners (A1 and newer gear at this point).   Not only has the SP20 hardware won me over, but the support of Spondoolies team did aswell.

The equipment it is just very well thought out.   For one it just works, I have 2 SP20's and had no issues with them.  From someone who had been dealing elsewhere with dead water pumps on miners, and another buying a controller board.  I cannot explain how much just working is a breath of fresh air. 

I won't go on a long rant.  Just thank you Spondoolies and I look forward to future purchases from you.

Looks like the strike has ended!  Hoping to get my SP20 on Saturday.

EDIT:  I guess the strike may not be over, but they re-routed my SP20 through Germany.  Hopefully I get it early next week.

EDIT:  Now it's in France!  I may end up with the most traveled SP20 ever!

12/19/14 EDIT:  It has hit the US!  Sitting in Tennessee waiting to be shipped across the States to it's new home.

so the only way i have been able to get mine to work is by connecting it to my laptop with a network bridge and a dhcp server running on the bridge. Thats not something i can have running all the time.

i purchased another router and am using that to bridge my wireless connections, and have that connect the miner to its LAN slots - this does not work with the routers DHCP enabled or disabled.

I tried a network bridge on my raspberry pi - this did not work either

I tried using the devices onboard usb slot with a wifi dongle, didnt work.


No idea what to do, im going to keep messing with the router I purchased though

If it is just DHCP you are having trouble with have you tried setting a static IP? It is under Settings - Network settings.    Make sure to use proper information for your network or it will be unreachable.

A static ip on what, my router - my secondary router that is acting as a bridge between my first routers wifi and the ethernet that is connecting the to the miner, or the miner?

You might want to review your main router dhcp setting. Sometimes if the optional field is left blank(default gateway & dns) some devices can not connect properly.

By using the same settings that allowed me to have the miner connect to the internet before (laptop network bridge, dhcp server running on bridge) i am now not able to connect to my miner and edit its settings. I am starting to feel like there is something up with this miner.... I've been trying to get it to work for around 10 hours total now and am getting pretty tired of it.

I'll put some more time in tomorrow, I appreciate all the help.

I hope this helps with your setting static IP.   If it is set wrong use SD recovery as SP team suggested to gain access again.   Reading about your network I would use first router if possible, going 3 devices down just is kinda a cluster.   

Once you have access to miner again hook computer to 1st router in your network.  (Were trying to make it easier and not have 3 devices in between the internet).  With computer go to command line and type in it "ipconfig".  This will show you your network settings.   With it being shown use this to fill in network static IP information (assuming DHCP is still not working for your network).  The first Lan IP address is the static address you will use for miner, make sure it is not being used by another device.

i had presumed there'd be a file i could pull of the SP-Tech website if something goes wrong.
I suppose being as cautious as I am, I tend not to upgrade f/w until i see a good amount of people have already installed it on their own and are happy with it.

There are quite a number of these reviews now cluttering up the hardware area and while it was nice publicity for spondoolies, I will be locking each thread after they have been up for a couple of days and I suggest further discussion regarding the reviews should go here. @spondoolies-tech, you may wish to create links to all the original review threads in your top post.

Con, please see
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=889336.msg9805837#msg9805837

i see your options as

a) censorship.
b) a better filing system for threads.

Locking threads is a deliberate attempt to seclude information away from browsing 'coiners and in this case, merely shows the lack of respect the Forum has for it's longer standing members.
PLEASE ALSO LOCK ALL OF DOGIES REVIEW THREADS, or MAKE CHILD BOARDS.

your comment quoted above, smacks of double standards and if you are locking one single manufacturer review threads and not locking others then this could be seen as you, and this Forum being complicit in a 'Restraint of Trade' that's a legal term, look it up

Without Prejudice.

I understand but these should really have all been collated here as it ends up being advertising for spondoolies on the forum that costs spondoolies but did not actually pay the forum. Unfortunately there is no merge function in this forum software which would be the ideal solution. Out of respect for the legendaries I've forgone the locking for now, but can I urge the reviewers themselves to lock their threads and refer back to this one once they have completed whatever they have to say instead then?

Not really when the reviews are conducted by people who paid for the hardware instead of got the hardware as a free gift for the promise of a review in return.

see bold.
I'm specifically reiterating the fact that dogie receives free units in return for reviews. You must also lock all of his threads.
if you are to restrain trade on spondoolies hardware, you must also take the principle of locking threads, across the board and not specifically target one individual manufacturer.
And yes, please feel free to lock every review thread in which the reviewer received the unit for free. that would be very fair; in a censorship restraining trade sort of a way   :-*

I'd say your 'urging' seems a tad aggressive and would advise against it.

To 'Urge' anyone to partake in an activity which may or may not be of his or her will, in this form of recommendation, seems clear to me that your purpose is to take the responsibility off the shoulders of the forum and it's moderators to restricting trade by Spondoolies-Tech, and 'urging' those who committed to collating a review, to do the restraining of trade, on behalf of the forum and it's moderators?
I say this, without any personal prejudice, and wholly respect the other work that you do for the community as a whole.

ck you okay?

here is a link setup.

As the first review thread posted and  as the only reviewer that did not get one of these for free :

 12 reviews with 2 due  is 14 threads plus this thread plus my  thread is 15 threads on the sp20 and that is a lot of threads.

I think  locking the threads in 1 week or 3 days or the  day after christmas or even the last day of hanukkah and placing the setup below in first post of this thread  is not such a bad idea.

I kind of feel responsible for starting this issue by doing the first review for free because I like the gear.
I have had people fight for me to get a free one.
I now see people like ck and raskul fighting.
I have seen more then one person calling the reviews spam
I post  on and use this forum a lot.
I rather see happy miners not angry ones.

Huh, guess your ignore button didn't work?

Mate this isn't about SPT specifically, personally I am following this issue as I believe it has wider implications (sorry to burst your bubble).  As I mentioned in my first response allowing one company to buy the front page (for all intents and purposes) of the hardware sub (without paying the forum) sets a terrible precedence.  I can see a lot of other manufactures doing exactly the same thing (or worse heaven forbid).  The hardware section becomes the manufacture's advertising section instantly and any tiny scrap of information that does get here is even more difficult to find.  I personally thought the way conman plans on handling it was reasonable.  He can now put manufacture's on notice that this shit won't fly in the future but allowing SPT and the legendaries to finish out what they started.

Go back to meta and work on getting your manufacture child boards and do all this shit till your hearts content.  I don't think it belongs here, that is my opinion and like it or not, agree with it or not I am free to share it thank you very much.

I didn't click it.


Mate this isn't about SPT specifically,


But this thread is, and you have chosen to utilise it to further your own personal grievances and complaints.


personally I am following this issue as I believe it has wider implications (sorry to burst your bubble).


as you yourself put it; your personal grievances - !pop!


As I mentioned in my first response allowing one company to buy the front page


The front page of the forum does not show what you have stated it to show.

a terrible precedence.  


Harsh adjective narrative often follows one's personal grievances, neither does it make it correct, or worthy of a hearing.


I can see a lot of other manufactures doing exactly the same thing (or worse heaven forbid).


Heaven? no such place, and thus showing your argument to be religiously biased.


The hardware section becomes the manufacture's advertising section instantly and any tiny scrap of information that does get here is even more difficult to find.


Try making better use of the forum search functions.


I personally thought


Your personal grievances have already been recognised. Addressed above.


the way conman plans on handling it was reasonable.  He can now put manufacture's on notice that this shit won't fly in the future but allowing SPT and the legendaries to finish out what they started.


So.. if the conversation regarding this has ended, why are we discussing it?


Go back to meta and work on getting your manufacture child boards and do all this shit till your hearts content.  I don't think it belongs here, that is my opinion and like it or not, agree with it or not I am free to share it thank you very much.

I learned 3 or 4 things  from the legends reviews.  They improved  my mining setup.  But the sp20's now have

my unofficial thread 1)
the legends party thread 2)
and 12 or 13 review threads  total = 16 threads give or take one.

Now frankly this  may be the best home miner ever built for a USA 15 amp 120 volt circuit.
I can run 2 per circuit safely and get more then 2300gh a circuit.

 So It does deserve a lot of information.
Has to be a way to make it good and not have us fighting over it.

 Thank you are the third person to speak up for me.
  I have not received a free miner. But I purchased 1 then 2 more today and spondoolies-tech gave me  nice discounts for those 3 units.  I am happy with the discounts. Almost a free miner. Or buy 3 at the price of  a little more then 2 would be more accurate.   In all I paid for 7 from them direct. With 1 ebay purchase that was very cheap with discounts.  If the seller was from this forum thanks.

 With the efforts of the legends tests my tests and sp techs new firmware. I now have 6 units running at 500-510 watts each and about 1030 gh each for  a total of 3060 watts and 6200gh .  Under 0.49 watts a gh.  A fan at 12 and 5 fans at 15 via ssh.

     No 120 volt 15 amp circuit home miner has ever done this well. It is just possible to run 3000gh on 1x 15 amp circuit

 I found my sound meter and my garage with 6 units running is around 65db.
I can run the six units without opening the garage to the outside air. My garage is attached and I have the door to my laundry room open. Thus a lot of the air spills into the laundry room and the Home theater room. This truly a great piece of gear.

I'd say Philipma1957 has already a bunch of SP20 and I wonder what other thoughts and reviews would be interesting enough from him, outside his dedicated thread on SP20 and help posts/replies he's written now to almost everyone having a unit at home .. :) He needs another version of SPXX to be constructive :D

IMHO the idea was to make legendary members speak out about the latest product. Now you can read reviews made by trusted members with various skills with respect to running a mining operation .. from some struggling to adapt to curious network configurations, up to the other side of the spectrum, ready to have their soldering iron out if something is not as per their plans. All these posts, made others, like raskul come with extra help and opinions. Hopefully, we'll all learn something new ..

Phil will keep pushing that is sure.   Make comments in here till he is Dogie 2.  

We do not need more of either.  Companies already pay dogie to be a part of their forum team... if you pay he will defend you.   Look at Avalon all that switched was leader, same people, same company, same building.   It is the same people but Dogie has you believe Avalon is great with just switching man at the top. Send miner or BTC and Dogie will mark as 80+ on his guide.

phil, would you care to post settings for 500-510W in your "unofficial" forum or main spond forum, please.

  yes please ask me there so I do not double post

Sack dogie! Give Phil the job!

Phil will keep pushing that is sure.   Make comments in here till he is Dogie 2.  

We do not need more of either.  Companies already pay dogie to be a part of their forum team... if you pay he will defend you.   Look at Avalon all that switched was leader, same people, same company, same building.   It is the same people but Dogie has you believe Avalon is great with just switching man at the top. Send miner or BTC and Dogie will mark as 80+ on his guide.


Every update on his ratings I mention that same thing  ;D once an AVALON always an AVALON..or once a scammer always a scammer in my book.

I understand but these should really have all been collated here as it ends up being advertising for spondoolies on the forum that costs spondoolies but did not actually pay the forum. Unfortunately there is no merge function in this forum software which would be the ideal solution. Out of respect for the legendaries I've forgone the locking for now, but can I urge the reviewers themselves to lock their threads and refer back to this one once they have completed whatever they have to say instead then?

I'd say your 'urging' seems a tad aggressive and would advise against it.

To 'Urge' anyone to partake in an activity which may or may not be of his or her will, in this form of recommendation, seems clear to me that your purpose is to take the responsibility off the shoulders of the forum and it's moderators to restricting trade by Spondoolies-Tech, and 'urging' those who committed to collating a review, to do the restraining of trade, on behalf of the forum and it's moderators?
I say this, without any personal prejudice, and wholly respect the other work that you do for the community as a whole.
Thanks for your reasoned response.

All of you do whatever the fuck you want, see if I care.

ck you okay?

here is a link setup.

As the first review thread posted and  as the only reviewer that did not get one of these for free :

 12 reviews with 2 due  is 14 threads plus this thread plus my  thread is 15 threads on the sp20 and that is a lot of threads.

I think  locking the threads in 1 week or 3 days or the  day after christmas or even the last day of hanukkah and placing the setup below in first post of this thread  is not such a bad idea.

Interesting. Does Dogie have to pay for his 30 or so threads where he posts ads inside his guides circumventing the paid ads here in the forums?

Or say the 10 or so Technobit threads?

Consistency?

Have they been urged to collate their threads into a single one?

What about Antminer threads?

I can post dB values, but most people already know these.
Paradoxically, fan 50 makes subjectively less noise than fan 40 (at least on my miner).
I think that there is some resonance from the metal cage, which makes it sound louder at (in my case) lower setting.

The other vendors didn't ask that a bunch of reviews be made for the same product then have their shills bump basically the same thing over and over. Same s%# different topic. It is a surprisingly good tactic to buy advertising space on the first page without supporting the forum that has helped bring recognition to your brand.

It's clever but shady, something I would expect more from someone like BFL. But then again Spondoolies tech has never been completely forthright with their product, they like to stretch the truth about their miners and spread fud about their competitors like Bitmain but I guess that is the nature of the beast.

This glorious SP20 should not be advertised as an at home miner due to the noise. Multiple reviews have stated that this is more like a 1.5 thash machine not a 1.7 under normal operating conditions yet it continues to be advertised at that rate.

You should be more honest with your hashrate and efficiency numbers. Do your calculations at 1500 and post the actual watts\ghash for that.

I edited the rest out above the ...

  I bolded what I disagree with.

 The noise can work in a home but it is noisy. You need a big enough home to have a space for it.

I really agree on your 1700 gh comment.

Although I have 8 of these and 2  more on order I do agree they are not a 1700gh miner +- (10%)

They are 1625gh on the high side and they use a lot of power to get there.
They are amazing on the 1100gh or less clocks.

 They  beat  just about every home miner there is for watts per gh if you downclock.

I would have sold them at 1500gh with a small overclock possible

The RockerBox chip is designed as a 200 GH/s chip, and there are 8 in the SP20, so it really is a 1600 GH/s miner.

yeah every one I have got above 1600 using the evga 1300 g2 psu

and having the fan at 80 but I am in a costly power area and getting the gear down to
1100gh or even 1000gh lowers watts per gh under .5 watts. also allows lower fan speeds.
My power is 13 cents until may 31st  then 16 cents.
Since I can manage the noise and take advantage of the heat in the winter my electrical bill reduces from 13 cents a kwatt to 10 cents a kwatt as the heat gain is worth 3 cents a kwatt. 

So the .46 or .47 watts per gh is really the single most important feature for me in my setup. at my net of10 cents a kwatt until may these miners work better then any other on the market.



I get other miners wanted 1700 or 1750 gh.
I even get wanting to do 1600 and a fast fan setting. Spondoolies should have listed 1500 with 1600 upclocked. Would have been an easier point to defend.

Besides the way I see it home miner choice will be s-5 and or sp20 very soon.

 I have tons of sp20's  but I flex and will switch out on a dime to the s-5 if it is tons better.

My guess is in my home I will have 7 -10 sp20s and 2 or 3 s-5's and run the for the next 3 months.

after reviewing the sp20 (thxs spoon).  I and a partner made a 30 sp20 purchase.  I currently have the sp20 running at 1187gh on 625watts. But the ability to run at 1640gh is a nice to have if the diff starts growing fast.

I just purchased a S5 to evaluate.

I have about 20 S2's I need to replace.  It will be the sp20 or the S5 depending on the comparison.

The SP20 has been very well tested and put through the ringer.  It is a quality miner.   I know the SP team earned some loyalty from me.  Their customer service was top notch.

I won't bash the other company again just say doing a certain water cooled miner has me not to anxious to order from the other company, I want to stick with SP products.  I never thought I would be told a pump that was dry tested by the seller dying was my fault, and it was my fault a wiring harness had crossed wires and started fires..... for this quality became a serious factor in my future purchases.  And SP gear is quality.

I won't speak against s-2 s-4 or c-1.  I never owned them.

I will speak for the s-1 and s-3 > I had lots of them. 30 good 1 bad.  The controller was doa. I got an rma for it.

 I still have 2x s-3's running non stop 24/7/365  since Late July.  0 issues they just run. 
They are in a low power place  my friend's office power cost is 3 cents a kwatt.
I did clock them at freq 212 so I get 425+425 gh = 850gh

As much as I like the sp20 it would be too noisy in his office.

  I may replace the pair of s-3s with a s-5.
hash would go up from 850 to 1100
power would drop from 650 to 600

I haven't had any problem running the sp20 in my basement at home alongside my antminers. It is significantly louder than my antminer s1's and s3's, don't know how the noise compares to the s5 yet, but will soon. My only complaint about the sp20 isn't the noise because you can just run it in the garage or the basement and probably won't be able to hear it. (I would not run the sp20 in the living room it's too loud for that, but I would consider running an antminer in the living room). My only complaint about the sp20 is that mine can't do the stated 1.7th with it, only runs at 80% fan speed comfortably at ~1.4th and 1.6th with fans at a 100%. So I've just been running my sp20 1.4th. I think it's a really excellent unit just wish the terrahash was more conservatively represented.

I haven't had any problem running the sp20 in my basement at home alongside my antminers. It is significantly louder than my antminer s1's and s3's, don't know how the noise compares to the s5 yet, but will soon. My only complaint about the sp20 isn't the noise because you can just run it in the garage or the basement and probably won't be able to hear it. (I would not run the sp20 in the living room it's too loud for that, but I would consider running an antminer in the living room).

yeah, you can run it at ~1360-65GH with fan 30 (as long as your ambient temperature is at or below 30C=86F) and ~800W at the wall, which gives much better value.

yeah I found 1330, 1350 ,1370  miner to miner   and it is good.  = .55 watts

 1400  or 1425 and it starts sucking power harder. = .59 watts

I can run 1 sp20 and 1 s-3 on each evga 1300g2       at 1325 and at 450 get very good power rates.

I too look forward to the s-5.  I want to mod it with the 7 inch silverstone fan and see how quiet it does at 1100 gh then 1000 gh

It would be great if Bitmain did an about face with their S5.  After bungling the S2, S3, and S4 rollouts, however, I would expect the same for the S5.
