I've asked the mods to remove the post.

Got mine yesterday, interface is in Chinese still but I managed to work it out. 24pin was disconnected and only two screws on the bottom fan, also the bottom fan is only a 25mm not 38mm fan.

Do I need a new image to get the English interface?

bilabonic: try changing the difficulty on the web interface to 256 instead of 1024

I get my head checked on a regular basis

I'm keeping my 11xx CA order PLUS I also managed to get local pickup as well. That should be interesting.

Sometimes removing the pictures makes the posts above more disturbing.

Also if you don't want to remove the pictures you can do [ img width=100] to make them smaller

Only works for that tiny, insignificant proportion of the planet that live in the US unfortunately


Batch 1 people got their miners before the communication saying it had shipped, and before the website was updated. Hmm.. hang on there is something familiar about that, oh yes, just like 99% of all S1's that were shipped.

Batch 2 was much larger, they are always focused on getting them out the door first before anything else. So I bet B2-S2's arrive at peoples doorsteps before any updates are seen here or in your account status.

Or maybe they just fucked off to Barbados with all the cash.

I think you should amend your product description if these are in stock then they are 1.6TH not 2.0TH.

Seeing as that 0.4TH is actually the profit margin on one of these machines it would behove you to disclose that fact beforehand.

The cloudhashing if Neptune is late.

I believe the intial batch were faulty and that a new one is being shipped.

Up to here, is doesn't matter whether you are a pre-order company or not. This is just what needs to be done to get off the ground. However, its impossible to do any of this part if you don't have VC, those companies have to do pre-orders to raise the capital to do this part of the business process. Spondoolies didn't, they had enough VC not to do pre-orders. Now maybe they ran out of cash, maybe they didn't, its just as shame they couldn't take that extra step and sell from stock.


This here is irrelevant to whether they do pre-orders or build up supply and sell from stock. Once the initial supply of units is in stock you start selling, then once you start selling you start making more units to restock your product ready for new sales. Once you get going you have a constant stream of manufacturing, a minimum level of stock to supply your customers, and a stream of sales that most probably will grow exponentially IMHO.

As a business whether you choose to go down the pre-order route or to sell from stock depends on whether you want your customers to bear the burden of risk or whether the business bears that burden.

For many people I would imagine that they would prefer the latter not the former, especially considering the history of this particular industry.

That being said there will always be people willing to pre-order. What I *hope* starts to happen is that as Spondoolies get into their stride and have more confidence in themselves as manufacturers and their sales numbers continue to rise they will quickly start to shorten the pre-order gap. Bring it down to a week or so and then its not really a pre-order business. Either that or adopt the deposit methodolgy already discussed.

Nice, have you managed to cure the PSU fan speed/noise issue yet?

Should be able to use Google translate on the web UI

What does "all accessories" from the blade perspective mean?

Does it include

1 controller
2 USB cables
1 PSU?
2 Power cables

Yes that's the usual way. You have to be careful though, and usually the are shills not trolls. Often a newly created account that just posts in a forum with a negative response about a competitor or a positive response about a badly performing manufacturer is sometimes a shill/troll. But not always.

Sometimes people turn from one outlook to another really fast, sometimes its just human nature and getting excited about a product and sometimes there is a hidden agenda like offers made behind the scenes etc. But I hesitate to out and out accuse people because there is often an element of doubt and there are many more "brave" people like Phinn who use a scattergun approach to weed out the bad'uns.. he does catch some innocents along the way though 

They offered me same day shipping, but you were faster this time


I'll let you know on Friday

Agreed.


This is your thread, feel free to do as you wish. It would be interesting to see what methodology you use to find them out. Phinn would probably want to add it to his arsenal of investigative tools

LOL struck a nerve did I?  

Where have I begun a tirade of poison against them? I've been nothing but courteous and civil towards them as a company.

I think their gear is overpriced, expensive to import, too noisy and too "focused" and designed for big farms, and I don't think its a good idea to pre-order for August now. But thats just my opinion. I'd buy from them if they produced something roomier, cooler and in stock for a decent price.

Even if they don't currently mine for themselves, this isn't a product designed for distributing the hashing, this is a product designed for one thing, massive farms with enormous hash-per-U footprints.

I don't know who or what you are talking about with regards to the foaming-at-the-mouth-a-thon about orders from other companies, I never paid for orders of anything from Hashfast or Cointerra, although even if I had I don't know what point you were trying to make.

I'm actually hardware agnostic, I've mined on GPU's, USB ASICminers, BFL Singles, KnC Jupiters, Antiminers; S1's & an S2 on its way, I have had hosted dragonminers and one winging its way to me right now so I can have a play with it. I've also got a Neptune on preorder, last preorder I ever did. Again I'm hanging onto it because I have an interest in the technology and I like to mine.

What compensation are they offering you that you've suddenly become evangelical about them? I thought you were supposed to be an impartial journalist, honestly, right now, you sound like a rabid fan-girl.

WTF? All YOU have been doing lately is going around into other hardware threads and spamming Spondoolies-Tech.
