And yet you have still only purchased a couple of cheap $500 Scrypt blades.

TBH I don't care about scrypt hardware that someone rebadges and sells as their own, the problem with the scrypt hardware relating to hashcoins is that is ALL that they have and they are using it to give validity to their company so that they can con people into shelling out for the much more expensive SHA256 hardware.

Suckers are born every minute, and if what I write will make someone hesitate for a second and think about whether this is a good idea and whether they can afford to lose $3-4K minimum then its worth it for me to do that. Because I've seen so many people get burned on products that looked a HELL of a lot more real that this load of fantasy hardware.

LOL, use your logic, the Zeus was a miner with 5 Hashfast boards in it, boards and chips from a company that went bankrupt over 6 months ago, a company that couldn't even supply its own customers let alone a third party. You think there are 1000's of Zeus miners sitting in a warehouse waiting to be sold by two unverified scam accounts on alibaba? LOL sorry but this is so "scraping the bottom of the barrel" that I can't even believe you tried it. Either you are just blindly trying to justify throwing away your money, or you are part of the problem.

OK lets take the Apollo miner to start with. Here is something that was basically a couple of hashfast boards strapped into a PC case. Not hard, should be able to sell loads right?

Check this forum, its got some of the most prolific home and small business community miners around, and how many enthusiasts got an Apollo? None, zilch, nada.

OK check ebay, check ebay history, see how many Apollo miners got sold there once they became inefficient, can you guess? Not one. Check the for sale forum here, none there either.

The only person who got an Apollo that I trust recieved it was Dogie, but what I don't believe is that there is anyone else other than a handful of shills and puppet accounts that got anything SHA256 related.

Add to that the chip specs for their high end miners are fantasy land fabrications and None of it adds up.

What does add up is that every person who says they got a rebadged scrypt miner from these guys which is most people who say they got one, or cloud mining (*cough* ponzi *cough*) in lieu of hardware gives hope to suckers, and they don't need many suckers to keep going and making money, just a couple a month who give them a few grand.

Thats why we advise caution and not sending money to some company that promises something thats too good to be true, because it damages the reputation of other bitcoin hardware companies that and the very ecosystem itself. We aren't doing this because we have a grudge or a vendetta against HashCoins, ffs, I'd be first in line as would most of the experienced people on this board, if there really was a machine with the specs of a Uranus actually out there and running.

Next update will be extended delays while they wait for the 14nm Lktek chips to be ready.

To be clear I'm talking about the SHA256 miners not the scrypt miners which shouldn't even be a topic of discussion in this part of the forum.

There is an easy fix.

I stand corrected that there is indeed one, but I stand by what I said that its not going to be very effective. And people will probably waste their time with it.

Either way it has nothing to do with Roadstress' question. This is the first and only Avatar I've had. And I answered his question in the first instance.

None of which applies here, as its a hosting centre for other peoples miners, not a private farm for investors.

  You guys need thicker tin foil

How can you say there is a "apparently an avatar campaign" from someone saying "not yet" LOL

Anyway even if someone thinks there will be one eventually, I don't see how there can be a very effective campaign other than a branding one because you can't have any html in your avatar so you can't click through to it, and its limited to only png, jpg or gif. So you could have a fancy animated logo for some company sponsor but no way to track clickthru's etc.

Same PSU though, they just push it harder.

Probably because its hot there, ambient was 27°C or 80°F today.

You can see the setup on the first page of this thread, its not someone's bedroom

Huh? Avatars and signatures are completely different things. Avatars were disabled for a long time on the forum because there was a hack in the code that was being exploited. They got turned back on again a few weeks ago and we were able to setup avatars again. No biggie. Anyone can do it, got to your profile and then forum profile information, and from there there is a link to set your avatar if you want to.

I'd get it home, configure it manually to an unused IP address with netmask/gateway/dns/etc from the range you use in your closet, save config and power down. Then it when you take it back to the closet it should be fine.

Yes they turned avatars back on

SP31 and SP35 have different PSU's

SP35 uses DS1600
SP30/31 uses DS1200

You may be underestimating the importance of the type of PSU's used and the unit, I am pretty sure that spondoolies will only work with the make and type of PSU's they support. Emerson and another type.

Are you configuring the LAN on the SP20 manually or via DHCP?

What PSU did you buy?

Its not true, I still get immediate and effective response to my support emails. In fact just this week i had a sp35 that kept locking up and I opened up ports to allow support to remotely access the box to troubleshoot it.

Time to respond to first email: 15min (9pm Israel time!). Next morning (9am Israel time) request for port access and logs.

It has always been so with them. You just have to be aware of the time zone and working week differences and be polite and patient and you will always get a good response in my experience.

Any news? Soon it'll be another hour gone by.
