Where in NJ are you, would be interested in buying them from you, I am in Bergen County.

We'll respect the warranty after changing hand.

I have two SP10.

One reports temp front/back: 30/79 C - mines @ 1.44THs
The other reports temp front/back: 35/80 C - mines @ 1.39THs

what's the best way to stack them?
Currently I have one on top of the other.

I think someone had said put them on the side?

The bottoms get really hot, I wouldn't stack them unless there was an air gap in-between at least.

There is absolute no problem in stacking them.
No need to put them on the side.

Will you get better speed with lower temperatures though?

What are good values for temp front/temp back?

I moved them to side now - but I screwed up and I have the bottom of each SP10 pointing to the other with a distance of about 15 cm. So all heat from bottom stays trapped.
Currently: 33/86 and 42/87 (speed 1.35 for both)

Intake of 20C is ideal
The rating is 1.4 +- 10%, there are some production variants
Follow the overclocking instruction in the technical blog

I bit and ordered a unit last Monday just to see what all the hype was about, and so far I've had issue after issue. Unless BTC goes way up, I'm almost positive this is going to be a money loser. Super...

Normally I pay for miners using BTC, but this time I decided to pay using bank transfer because I was running low on BTC. The Monday payment didn't clear until Wednesday, so the unit didn't ship until Wednesday evening. I wasn't aware that bank transfers were so slow, but that's the last time I pay for a miner that ships "immediately" using bank transfer. Chalk one up to BTC, but it sucks to wait on a slow bank transfer to go through (minus two mining days).

Also, I paid $2900 for my unit, and the price dropped to $2795 plus shipping before my unit even shipped. Add $193 for shipping, and minus 10% using a coupon, and the price comes to $2700. That means I paid $200 more for a unit that didn't even ship until after the price drop.

Also, my unit was supposed to be delivered on Friday morning, but it either got delayed by customs or FedEx sucks, so it's sitting on a loading dock and won't move again until after Memorial Day on Tuesday. I called Fedex and they told me that there is no way I can even pick the unit up before Tuesday. It would have been delivered on Saturday, but Spondoolies didn't pay for Saturday delivery, so that's a loss of another 3-4 mining days.

The difficulty also just went up 18% because it looks like the market is being flooded with AsicMiner Gen3 chips.

This is really screwing up what is otherwise a great Memorial Day weekend.

Please contact sales@ and we'll work something out

As you design more efficent chips for devices like SP30, will you continue to make a < 1200W version for those who don't have the ability to plug in 2 different circuits (single 1 kW PSU)?

We don't have the bandwidth to do it. We're looking for partners for other form factors.
1690  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [ANN] Spondoolies-Tech - Best W/GH/s ratio - Shipping from stock on: May 24, 2014, 06:47:12 AM
Got mine setup and hashing away at 1.27 thash. Temp shows 33/74. When I look at ASIC stats most chips are listed as 77 and a bunch showing as 113. Is there something wrong with my hardware?

Got my unit setup and I think that the noise has been downplayed. It is very loud and high pitched and louder than my 21 ants combined. Hope I can get my hash rate up closer to 1.4, getting 1.27 right now.

In ASIC stats 18 chips say 113 and 1 says 119 the rest are all 77. Problem with thermal paste on some ASICS maybe?

We monitor both threads, no need to post twice. Please contact zvi@, cc support@
Zvisha will take a look at your machine.

I talked to a DC in Iceland and they gave me a price of 95 EUR per kW per month. That comes out to about the same price.
Last quote i got was 78 €/kw for small customers, ofcourse this only gets cheap if you order multiple racks (ideally a whole DC container, then they can give you all the cooling you want)

Let's start working some details with them and then let's start a Group Buy for hosting. I am sure that there are a lot of small miners in Europe who would love to colocate their rigs if they will have nice price/kw.

Excellent! Strength in numbers. I like it

(Let me know if you need help)

My question is, from my reading if the design is good a fully custom chip outperforms standard cell chips. If that's wrong why would anyone do full custom design?

I'm not feeling comfortable posting here. It's a legit question, so I'll answer. Please continue further discussion via PM

Sure, fully custom chip done correctly will outperform standard cells chips. The shining example is BitFury rev2 55nm UMC ASIC
To get a killer ASIC, you need to have better SHA256 implementation, coupled with custom design and some more elements I won't discuss.
Such a killer ASIC could achieve 0.1 W/GHs and sub 0.05 $/GHs on 28nm process

When will you guys lower the price? Entire competition is below $1.65/gh shipped. (Ignoring hashratio/bitmain $1/gh)

My favorite AM SH and friend is here. It's nice of you to pay a visit.
I'll hope the dividends will be good in the next 2 months  Wink
1696  Economy / Securities / Re: ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It on: May 23, 2014, 06:45:46 PM
AM is not the latest crap in bitcoin world.  Wink



aaaactually, i beg to differ.

AM - 0.554 J/Gh at 11.52 Gh/s.
Spondoolies - 0.58 J/Gh at 7.5 Gh/s.



Not my thread, but I need to set the record straight.
Our ASICs can achieve above 10 GHs. It was just one corner measurement.
At the end, it's system efficiency. I saw three examples of systems based on AM3 in the wild, all of them above 1.1 W/GHs.
Out system is about 0.85 W/GHs at full power.
We've taped out our 2nd gen ASIC, and we'll be below 0.45 W/GHs at the system level in two months.

AM3 can't compete on 28nm, since it's "custom design", which means it will take at least 6 months to produce 28nm. Well in time for our 3rd gen.
Finally, we can compete on the price as well.

That's not setting the record straight at all. How much power did your ASIC consume when running at over 10 GH/s?

Sigh.

You quote a number shown in one measurement. There is no one ASIC
Every ASIC behaves differently, based on it's place on the production curve. On top of that, there is cooling.
We can pick a much better corner ASIC, cool it and do a much better measurement. You need to compare apples to apples and this is not the case.

At the end, all that is matter is system efficiency at the wall. It averages the ASICs, PSU and DC2DC design (if you use one).

I'll stop posting here now.

AM3 can't compete on 28nm, since it's "custom design"

Could you elaborate a little bit? How is this different from your own custom implementation of SHA256?


Unlike BitFury and AM, we didn't use custom circuit design (with custom PDK) in our 1st and 2nd gen.
It's a time consuming effort, that needed to be redone from the beginning when moving to a more advance process node.

We're doing that with our 3rd gen and we understand the effort. I don't believe AM can produce a competitive 28nm in time.
BitFury on the other hand will probably do.

Sounding like you're throwing down the gauntlet to FC by posting this in his backyard.

I was asked a question and I answered. I'll stop posting here now.

Just googled the following: http://bwrcs.eecs.berkeley.edu/Classes/icdesign/ee241_s13/Assignments/lab3-stdcell.pdf

(Our 1st and 2nd gen are 100% standard cells)

Got the call from Fedex today! Item has arrived and in the process of clearing customs. I had to fill out the Power of Attorney form and pay $421.46 in taxes, no duty.

Pretty impressed considering I ordered the miner before bed on Tuesday and should be picking it up from the depot later this afternoon. Thanks Spoondoolies and Road Stress for a great group buy  Grin

I have never had to pay taxes before.  Sounds like DHL might be better than FedEx.  I gave FedEx my info yesterday and they called today and told me I needed to fill out some forms.  Power of Attorney, really???   Taxes?Huh  UPS or DHL all the way.  Screw FedEx.



it just depends on where you are in the world. each courier has to act according to the law of the land. I'm in the UK and i've never had a problem with DHL... but I do believe they are seriously lacking in the US... I think it all rests on the governing body where you reside.

Well, my location hasn't changed but UPS and DHL have delivered tens of thousands of dollars of stuff to me from China.  I have NEVER had to pay duties or taxes.  NEVER had to fill out of power of attorney.  NEVER.  If FedEx wants that, they can send my package right back to Israel and we can have UPS or DHL do it.

It's the weekend in Israel. We'll check it on Sunday. We'll start to work with UPS as well.

Are the SP10's in hosting tuned to a lower speed? Mine doesn't seem to be performing as specced.
