bitcoinwisdoms diff algos rely heavily of the previous change. Thus early on in an adjustment period it is basically saying the diff will inc by the prev amount. Right now my models show 2% increase.

This calls for a *Miner's Dance*!

So now BA=HashFail2. They should have offered chips for their non-deliverable miners in the first 2-3 weeks when they found out that there is an X3 backplane problem. I am sure that the community would've assembled some miners much faster than BA.

Judging from the past experiences my advice would be to take the chips as fast as you can and have them assembled on boards. Getting a refund would take ages and it seems that getting miners is the same.

Good luck.

Not sure what you mean... I received both CAbatch neppie orders over a week ago, and some people in Batch one even got Neptunes, when there was supposed to be a 2 week break between the CA and batch one.
Compensation for late time-frames has been announced as a second Neptune at the end of batch 3 unless you "took the shaft" on the cloud hosting deal, or got an early "FrankenJupiter"; so they actually have another week before they were supposed to start shipping batch one customers if you account for the promised two week delay between batches.

This is one more reason to feel good about my refund. I thought CA batch paid 3k$ more for having 2-4 weeks head start which allowed them to mine a bit more than the others. More FU in the face for its loyal customers from KnC.

It's awfully quite out here, perhaps the calm before the storm? lol. All the busy miners grinding away, all working hard to make there ROI. I'm pretty close to ROI with my SP10. By the time it does it will be time for my SP30 to start it's hashing! lol Thanks Spondoolies-Tech crew for producing such quality equipment and support!

Regards,

~Blaise

Indeed. Busy grinding!

True, quality is built in ... but I keep wondering ... and have voiced this in various threads  ... a 6 Th/s miner is fantastic ... not seen before ... and I can't wait to receive my orders.
The bar is set .. BUT what next?
Sponds ... what are you working on ? ...
A little teaser would be appreciated by all.

As Grix said. The information is out there if you know where to look.

I don't understand why they stopped producing the SP10 Dawson, it would still sell like crazy.  Huh

To give the others a breath of fresh air regarding sales Smiley

You should be OK, I've seen mine run at up to 41 degrees intake on the odd occasion, but of course the hash rate lowers ... that's why they are on their way to Iceland for a nice cold home.

I can't remember the cut-off point, but Sponds have built in an auto shutdown into the system, so you shouldn't damage the miner if it gets too warm.

I have noticed, that one of ASIC chips is DEAD already. 1535 to go  Angry


You should lower the speed of the miner imo. 40 degrees is crazy, but yes there is a thermal shutdown(can't remember the value).

@RoadStress; how much was the bill at the end of the month for your 19c hosting? They charged by the KWh right?

It's a standard 90euros/KW (not kWh) which translates to 90*1.3KW=117 euros=160$ per month for SP10

F**k me, for $80 a month I am losing ~1TH every second  Cry Maybe even more, with your nice 16 Co intake temp.

 Angry Angry Angry

P.S. How much did you pay for setup? Did you send them mounting ears or cables?

Offtopic:
Code:
Temp Front / Back T,B
    16 °C / 59,65 °C

The default installation fee is 150 euro, but I managed to get a better price for having more than 1 unit and with the SP30 units promise to be hosted with them too. I didn't send them mounting ears or cables.

Just like how the neptune was a good deal in November? Or like how the monarch was a great deal in August? Or hashfast? Or blackarrow? Or cointerra?

Judging by other's failure has nothing to do with the future.

You chose to take the unnecessary risk of preordering hardware 5 months away. Historically there has never been a preorder which ended up cheaper than in stock hardware. Maybe this is your first time being suckered in to preorders, but please don't encourage noobs to make the same mistake.

Wouldn't you agree the best decision at the moment would have been to buy a few bitmain s1s? Just about all S1's ordered before april have reached a positive ROI in btc and barely depreciated in value.

Tell me when did the S1s reached positive ROI and how much does one S1 earn per month?

As for the depreciation you are misleading again. I see that 2 S1 are being sold for ~0.5 BTC. I don't see that much retention in value.

Quote
The same way that nobody can predict the bitcoin difficulty we can't predict the exchange rate. Hoping/waiting for the exchange rate to increase seems too risky for me. I always make my decisions taking into consideration a fast increase in exchange rate, but also a stagnation for 6+ months.

So why gamble on the difficulty/exchange rate 6 months from now when you don't have to? If you expected a fast increase in exchange rate you should have just bought btc.

Read my reply again. I said I'm prepared for both situations. I don't expect anything, I'm just trying to be as balanced as possible.

Quote
I hate to brag but I am not at a loss from my investments at havelock. Yes AM has tanked but I have done fairly well speculating with the difficulty derivative.

Will you be so kind to share how many havelock investments have you done besides AM and the difficulty derivative?

Isn't the derivative a more financial instrument than a security investment?

No you are trying to sell people BS and lies which I just don't buy. If the sp30 is such a great machine then spondoolies would have absolutely no problem selling it from stock like every Chinese manufacturer does.

I'm not trying to sell people BS and lies. I'm just recommending what I think it's the best miner. I did that before having and affiliate link.

If you were unlucky enough to preorder an august batch sp30 directly from the website in april you paid ~26 BTC for one ~6TH or $2.8/gh..

jimmothy's math: 26BTC*450$=~12000$/5400GH=2.8$/Gh <-- BIG MISINFORMATION, but actually it's 2.22$/Gh (for 5.4Th/s) and with the speed improve is down to 2$/Gh.

You know we are at $630/btc right?

If the sp30 is only 5400gh that would be $3/gh. That makes even the bfl monarchs look like a good deal.

So you are telling me that I paid for my March order 3$/Gh just because bitcoin is at $630 now? Next month when it will be at $1000 you will tell me that I paid 4.3$/Gh and so on.
I paid 2$/Gh in March! Calculating with today's price is simply stupid and so obvious bad intended. As previously said judging by looking back is easy Acting while looking into the future is the hard part.

The same analogy can be made for your 0 dividend AM shares. Unfortunately I don't know how many bitcoins you have invested into AM, but feel free to multiply them with 630$ and let me know how long will it take to get that amount back with your 0 dividends.

And your math sucks again. At $630/btc you come up with 2.7$/Gh, not 2.8$/Gh.

Hey @Roadstress  you changed your reply

Changed? How? I edited it for more clarity maybe, but didn't change anything important.

Roadstress, im not here to get in a pissing match with you nor discredit you. I admit that your constant pushing of spond products bothers me. Many newbs find these forums and look for advice here, many without posting but just lurking. There is no hardware that can roi right now mining btc, but your posts indicate sp30 will. In my opinion this is a poor way to introduce newbs to bitcoin  big loss of $ and noisy equipment.

btw I am no longer a software engineer, left that for the great outdoors, I am now a roadbuilding superintendent

Constant push? Please show me evidence.

My post here isn't pushing anything. It's just pointing out that there might be a problem with this miner. It has nothing to do with my signature. You seem to fail to understand that. Please double or triple read my above reply: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=523634.msg7697791#msg7697791

WARNING!

We found the machines are sending back encrypted packets back to a Chinese IP address, the packets are encrypted so we are not sure weather its sending back hashes or somethig more sinister.

We have re-wrote the lketc dragon miner software our self and found the units to be hashing 10% more, so likely stealing hashes from our power.

i will release more proof and our clean dragon miner software after more tests.

care to elaborate? where did you get the source code to re write the driver? afaik they have not released the source to ckolivas. seems like bs without these simple answeres

Go ask cryptoceelo, not me. Here is the link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=640717.0

really? Pfffffffff! Are you or have you ever been a software engineer? This is plain old FUD, I kinda respected spondoolies for their product quality even though way beyond any possible roi price until now. Stooping to the level of bashing others products with NO backup is pretty low. Wanna increase your sp10 hash rate ? insert this code with a couple of other lines in the right place:

People need to realize that having an affiliate link in the signature doesn't mean that my sole purpose in life is to bash the competitors and to bump the sales. I am entitled to an opinion just like everyone else with or without the signature. A software engineer (like you seem to be) should be able to have a better view of things in general. You seem to lack than since you accused me of spreading FUD when I'm not the one that posted that. I am just the one that bought it to attention here.

3000USD for a china made product where their cost is much more lower. Is it worth it ?

Definately no at this price, but have you read my post? How can you even consider buying from them?

You really consider $1.66/gh a good deal? How is that possible when bitmain is offering $0.8/gh and shipping earlier?

Yes I consider it a good deal since it was done in March.

Because NOBODY can predict the next bitcoin difficulty let alone the next 10+.

I consider it a good deal because you said it that nobody can predict the bitcoin difficulty so I tried to get the best of other stats like $/GH. As far as I know there wasn't a better offer back then and of course nobody knew what and when will cheaper miners release. It was the best decision at the moment. Looking back is easy to judge and especially if you aren't a miner like yourself.

Quote
Are you forgetting that btc was ~$450 average in april? That means that everyone who preordered paid ~10 btc or $6,300 for 6TH. 11 Bitmain S3's are ~8 btc and shipping in 2 weeks vs 2 months.

Because NOBODY can predict the next bitcoin difficulty let alone the next 10+.

The same way that nobody can predict the bitcoin difficulty we can't predict the exchange rate. Hoping/waiting for the exchange rate to increase seems too risky for me. I always make my decisions taking into consideration a fast increase in exchange rate, but also a stagnation for 6+ months.

As I previously said looking back and talking about past decisions is easy now. Doing it live is much harder. I invite you to start making money by either speculation or by mining and when you will have results come here and give advice and suggestions. Until then you are just a guy waiting for his non-existing AM dividends who just likes to chat about past other's people decisions, but who fails to put money where mouth is.

Why was this "group buy" exclusive to the forum? Why did everyone who ordered from the website pay 3 times the price for the same batch?

I think you need to ask SP-Tech this, not me.

How is it apples to oranges? They are two different machines that consume electricity and magically make bitcoins.
What's the difference other than the sp30 being more expensive and shipping later? (3 months for anyone who orders today for ~$0.9/gh)

September is just 2 months away from July. Stop lying and deceiving readers!

You can inform people of better deals without daily hourly bashing/trolling.

Show me the hourly bashing/trolling.

Quote
Fun fact: knc delivered on time and to spec (actually a bit over spec) but their customers were still fucked because that's how preorders work.

The real fun fact is that KnC promised the Neptune in a single case like the Jupiter and they ended up with 5 different cases+1 controller case+ VRMs working at 20% overspec.

Quote
SP30 had the best stats since april? You're joking right? (wait no you're just trying to sell hardware)
The sp30 doesn't exist so how can it have the "best stats"?
July/august batch of sp30 sold for $12,000 each or $2/gh. Hell, even petamine currently at ~$1.5/gh puts the SP30 to shame.
Many argue that the bitmain S3 will likely not turn a profit so how can you possibly suggest that a more expensive machine shipping 3 months later has a chance?
Please stop trying to sell overpriced nonrefundable preorders to noobs.

Misinformation at its best again. I have an SP30 due this month thanks to the small March/July bundle that was offered back in March. I paid $15k for one SP10 and one SP30. I consider that I paid $10k for the SP30 which is 1.66$/GH. Not bad imo.

In April the SP30 was 0.69$/GH (and 0.46W/GH) in case you forgot about my GB: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=575499.0 So yes SP30 had and still has the best stats for over 2 months now.

As for the S3 comparison I can only laugh at it. Comparing apples with oranges again like you usually do/like. The overpriced  preorder is due to deliver THIS month, not 3 months later. Stop with the misinforming posts.

Edit: And no, I'm not trying to sell anything. I am stating my point of view. I did this before having an affiliated signature, I will continue to do it with the affiliated signature and I will do it without the affiliated signature.
