The problem with making Boden obsolete is that you make everyone else's gear obsolete also. Kick in the nuts to us community miners that don't have the deep pockets of the elite.
There will be enough time to make very good ROI on the SP30. Making Gen3 ready by Q4 doesn't mean immediate deployment of massive PH/s. Most of the deployment will be in 2015, the EH/s era. Edit: And we'll support community efforts like shared DCs. We're already working towards such efforts. |

So how is the production on the SP 30 going? I think I also read somewhere that you're working on a 3rd generation. When would we expect that to come out and how much t hashes?
"RockerBox" (our 2nd gen ASIC) - Tapeout beginning of May. The entire project is on track. "PickAxe" (our 3rd gen ASIC) - Q4, too early to know exact month. The preferred deployment method won't be rack mounted boxes, but probably IT containers. Enough TH/s to make Boden menace obsolete. |

Don't worry. Your miners will arrive on time and on spec. Unfortunately, this is the same thing CoinTerra, KnC, BFL all said. It has about the same meaning as 'the check is in the mail!' And HashF*ck, Bitmine and Black Arrow... Although Bitmine and Black Arrow (especially Black Arrow) have been transparent and apologetic about their problems and delays. It's becoming a bit of a repetitive subject. Here we go again: - We don't promise "full refund" since failing to deliver will be a catastrophic event. You won't get your refund in that case also. Promising "full refund" will be a marketing lie. We want to avoid those. Thanks for a quick response. There is still probability of not delivering on time because of some unpredictable external circumstances. If such scenario happens and you cannot deliver on time or at all it means that we lose that 40% we invested and get no refund. It is a very risky for customer regardless if it is 40% or 100%. Especially if someone purchases larger quantities of devices. There won't be a delay, unless force majeure. In such case, we'll find way to make our customers whole. However, we won't promise full refund which is a lie. The entire mining business is risky. We firmly believe that we can get the delivery and spec out of the risk equation. If you feel uncomfortable with the risk, please don't order. |

How can you archive 0.58 W/GHs with 40nm and 0.38 W/GHs with 28nm when KNC uses 1W/GHs with 28nm and "maybe" 0.6-0.7 W/GH with 20nm?
I don't understand this.
It's actually 0.35 W/GHs with RockerBox our 2nd gen (28nm). We need to update our web site. Our 3rd gen ("PickAxe"), to be released in Q4 is also 28nm and has much better power / performance ratio than our 2nd gen. We achieved it using multiple techniques and much better engineering. For obvious reason, I can't get into the specifics. You can read in past posts, we've released Hammer (1st gen) datasheet and RockerBox (2nd gen) brief. Sounds like i have to refund my Neptune  Send us proof of purchase and get 10% discount coupon. Send to sales@spondoolies-tech.com and mention this post. Hm? If i send u the proof that i ordered i get a discount? Or am i getting a discount if i proof the order and the refund? With the refund i could buy at your shop  Just proof of order from other vendor. You're responsible to get your refund back, or not. We don't care. I think my english is to bad i try it in another way. You just need the proof of order. If i refund i get the discount nevertheless? I know that refunding is my own responsibility. The 10 Percent discount is on every product? Or only on sp 10? We just need the proof of order. The 10% discount is on every product we sell in the store. We want to distribute the hash-rate. Getting your money stuck in limbo at some other vendor pockets doesn't help distribute the hash-rate. Just send proof of order to sales@spondoolies-tech.com and we'll create one time 10% discount for you. Applicable to any order. Go spread the word and help spread the hash-rate. |

Promising "full refund" will be a marketing lie. We want to avoid those. - The 2nd gen ASIC is a relative simple die shrink of our 1st gen ASIC. Almost the same engine. Nevertheless, we've done verification and FPGA simulations of course. - Everything is on track for tape out at the beginning of May. - The entire project is on track. PCBs, mechanics, DC2DC test boards, Supply chain, etc - Our VCs investors won't allow us to take pre-orders unless we're 100% sure we'll deliver on time - There is simply no way to finance building the amount of miners we want to sell without taking pre-orders - We have a payment terms that split the (non existing, really) risk: 40% in advance, 60% before shipping - We won't take pre-orders for our 3rd gen ASIC since it's an higher risk effort - Edit: take a look at our (partial) talent list: http://www.spondoolies-tech.com/pages/team. This is a simple project. We've done much more complex... |

Edit: Another parameter to compare is form factor. SP10 is 1.25U Edit2: Compare it also with another 28nm vendor, the one who changes it's warranty from 90 days to 30 days recently (for a good reason) and doing a fire sale. The comparison was done here: http://www.coindesk.com/spondoolies-tech-promises-power-efficient-mining/ |

batch 2 sp10 shipped today?
We've completed all shipping of April batch today. Good news: May batch will start on the 4th. We'll build, test and ship continuously the entire month. We have ramped up our production capability at Flextronics and we were able to bring the components earlier than anticipated. New SP10 ordes done today will be shipped on the first week of May. You won't need to wait until the 18th as previously written in the thread. does this also apply for the dual sp10 bundle? Yes. We're shipping everything earlier, according to the orders queue. |

I think I managed to kill the image on mine, it stopped showing up under the DHCP table, and cant find it with IP scanner, after multiple restarts etc. Going to pick up a microSD card tomorrow.
Email zvi@spondoolies-tech if you need assistant, he'll be available in few hours. |

Gals, Guys and miners,
We REALLY don't want to delete posts.
However, from now on:
No religion questions.
No politics / government questions.
If you have any concerns on the above, please PM us.
If you can't resist, go create other thread and PM us the location. We might participate elsewhere.
Keep this thread technical and about our offerings.
As you saw we don't censor competition data. We sometime even provide it.
We want you to make an informed decision.
Guy

...I am pretty impressed with the dedicated customer service you guys are providing. ...
Thank you. Please try to avoid politics. We're here to produce and sell the world best mining rigs. Distribute the hash-rate in the process. |

I'll reserve one. Could you also host that one for me? I would not like it shipped at the moment.
Farmer's choice come with 2 months of free hosting. |

Don't worry. Your miners will arrive on time and on spec. Unfortunately, this is the same thing CoinTerra, KnC, BFL all said. It has about the same meaning as 'the check is in the mail!' We're aware. Sometime the history doesn't repeat itself. We'll prove that. Guy OK - I'll take two 3 pacs. Now, by 'August' do you mean: A) I'll receive them at my house on August 1st or B) You'll put them in a box in Israel on Aug 31st? And what is the warranty that they will each actually make 5.4T? If you assure they run that fast, I'll do the deal. We're producing, testing and shipping. August batch will start to produce by the end of July. 30 - 40 machines / day. It depends on your place in the queue Current status of the project shows above 5.5 TH/s in our simulations. Taping out is the beginning of May. As explained before in the thread, it's a relative simple die shrink (40nm -> 28nm) of our 1st gen ASIC. |

One abandoned bus, which we really don't understand it's purpose. It's not out front but about 200 meters. It's out front HP Indigo more or less.
Anyway, we're 400 meters from Intel 22nm FAB, so it's not that deserted place.
We're about 25 KM from Gaza strip, not in any disputed territory.
Somehow, this is funny. 2 questions: 1) can you provide a streetview link to the abandon bus outside the office? and 2) can a palistinian missile from Gaza reach the office? I am not talking about one of those silly missiles made by little boys who should be in school, but one of the really good ones with extra fuel and payload capacity made by mad Muslim bombers in hidden welding shop? If I send $20 large, I don't want any god-damned political strife fucking up my position. 1) I've actually checked it after the post. No. Google Street view took a picture before. 2) Yes. But, our manufacturing is done in Flextronics in the north ( http://www.flextronics.com/global_locations/pages/israel_site_information.aspx) The last serious tension happened back in November 2012 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Pillar_of_Defense) Beside, since Intel is critical, we're probably covered by Iron Dome ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Dome) Don't worry. Your miners will arrive on time and on spec. Edit: Beside, we encourage you to look at our new payment terms: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=521520.msg6212699#msg6212699 |

You lost me, whats recent fire sale? Not for consumers, back door deals for large quantities of equipment. Only 30 days warranty though... They seem desperate. I believe I know the reason... |
