We'll improve our web site. We're using Shopify e-commerce platform and it has it's limitation. You friend can contact sales@spondoolies-tech.com and we'll create a custom order and BitPay link for him/her. Thanks for your quick reply ... however, does this mean that once a product is ordered, a purchaser has no way of tracking its status?

Spondoolies you have an unusual website ... a friend of mine just ordered a SP10 x2 bundle, and lost the web page after ordering ... so doesn't have a reference to the BTC address you require payment to.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't have a login page to get back into the system ... to get back into their account ... so maybe you just lost an order?
I'm also interested in your product, but why don't people create their own account (which can be checked for order process etc.) on your site ... am I missing something?

i wanted to be wrong about the psu.
i would be looking to get one today. still running the ant miner s-1s
and since many people have had a lot of issues i may stick with the s-1s longer then I thought I would.
Yeah, I run a load of S1's, but sorry Bitmain, you seem to have made a few too many errors with the S2 right now. Other companies are near delivery, and S2 is out of stock like so many 1/TH+ machines ... maybe my 'AntFarm' will become 'another' farm soon ...

now sold out on website
There has to a point when S1's run out, and they concentrate on the S2's ... question is ... how many more are left on their 'farm' shelves? I can't imagine they would be manufacturing new S1's now.

OK ... I've had this thread marked for a while, but only just had the time over the last few days to read a good many pages, also done a lot of research.
I'm quite struck by people's feedback about this kit, and the positive feeling that runs throughout the thread. The boxes look well made (not sure that the noise issue has been resolved, but couldn't quite find the answer to that) and Spondoolies look to be delivering the product.
To be honest, I have been waiting for Bitmain's batch 3 of their S2, but they seem to have a lot of ongoing issues with quality control. I'm running a load of Antminer S1s at present (All run solid as a rock, but power consumption is an issue).
So ... if I decide to invest in a SP10 box or two from Israel, I wonder what import (Customs/VAT) payment might be payable on delivery? Can anyone in the UK advise what they had to pay?
Many thanks.

Get yourself a steady supply in the UK, and build some trust ... people will need that.
Escrow option would have been a nice idea.
A manufacturer name?
|
|
|
Just wondering ... anyone in the UK received their batch 2 S2 this week? ... what did you have to pay the UPS or delivery guy for Customs payment? Like others, I'm waiting for batch 3 ... ... And then the fun of re-building a box that fell apart during shipping, lol

Why would you want the pool to shrink? Higher speed = less variance. You'd get less per block but more blocks.
OK ... I understand the maths ... my spreadsheet will tell me longterm, for everyone to benefit will be good.
|
|
|
Holy crap balls..... 1,100 THs jump in an hour?
Damn, yes I noticed that ... oh well ... there goes my reduced share % ... Hopefully a pool hopper ... so HOP OFF!

mine arrived from UPS about 2 hrs ago. I plugged it right in without opening it to verify no loose cards or anything (yeah probably a bad move on my part) and i got lucky. it has has been hashing 1.00424TH average since i got it turned on. havent tried to tweak it yet by replacing the power supply and overclocking. that will be my next move.
Congrats! I'm sure Bitmain learned from the problems of batch 1. I'm really interested to see how batch 2 people react after receiving their deliveries over the coming days. All being well, I'll hopefully be a batch 3 customer ... just not sure when they might release them though ... I wonder if they might wait to check that batch 2 customers are happy first?

1 unit the fan is set to high and I cannot figure out how to set it to auto.
Yep, I have one of those also ... one blade reports 180 degrees temp (which is why the fan ran at full speed all the time), the other 43. Clearly a temp sensor fault. I've swapped them over, but the web interface reports the same. I couldn't work out where the temp sensor(s) are, so fitted 'push-me pull-you' fan configuration with quieter fans and have it running at full speed all the time. Funny really, it's not noisy and one of my best Ants for hash rate and low HW errors.

...and much more in the works, then sky's the limit. ...should double my hashrate this summer and then hopefully really turn it on this fall/winter Fefox. Go for it ... most of us don't have the resources, but it's always interesting to watch someone who has goals on attacking the hash rate. Are you hosted in a DC? Heat and noise must come into this at some point ... and then the power bill, lol. ... What has Koi brought online?, that's a serious hardware upgrade? Anyone know? 78 TH/s as I write ... Koi?

Very nice looking unit, I'm pleasantly surprised.
I'll be interested to see what is displayed on the LCD screen.
Yeah, I was wondering what the S2 will display on the LCD. Good ol' Bitmain ... no pics until they start shipping ... then they leave a tantalizing question over the display ... . You gotta love 'em, they have delivered on their promise! (Not sure about putting ethernet on the front though ). Looking forward to the first receivers posting pics and reviews ... let's get to know this new Ant!

ps. These fans could run faster if, instead of using the 1600RPM adapter, I remove the 4th pin from the fan power connector. This would make the fan(s) always run at full speed (2000RPM). I did not try this since my temps/noise are great using the 1600RPM adapter that came with the fans.
Running fans at full speed doesn't make a lot of noise (or use more electricity). I have several Ants running with full speed fans (one at each end) to pull the air through. Just removed the stock fan and replaced with two Akasa 140mm on 120mm body fans. http://www.akasa.co.uk/update.php?tpl=product/product.detail.tpl&no=181&type=Fans&type_sub=PWM%20Control&model=AK-FN073They work well, and also cool the outside of the blades a little because of their size. Air flow is 4 degrees C warmer from input to output. The stock fans are amazing at 125CFM+, but the Akasa fans have 109.55 CFM ... and having one on each end seems works well for me.

I suspect...
S1 in stock because they are probably liquidating their old farm.
I agree ... I have received recent Ants that had been used ... removing the fans showed a lot of dust, and I had to clean them ... but they hash away and work fine, so I'm happy.

FeFox was just over 40 TH/s a second ago.
Yea, this guy has some serious fire power, the stats sink and rise, but maybe he is still building his farm ... think it might go higher yet. The pool has risen by 100TPhs over the last couple of weeks (but many people add Ghs every day). So, we all see lower payouts, but that's mining for you. Not sure my power board will stand many more Ants before a melt down. Difficulty is about to rise again ... so what ... in for the long haul (Fingers crossed)

WOW ... The fastest users table has a serious contender, sitting at no.1 at +27,700 Ghs (fefox) ... this user was always in the top 50, but WTF have they deployed now? Bitminter has jumped nearly 100Ths in under a couple of weeks. No.2 sits at 9,000+, lol

Ordered another one and paid on Monday, but still says 'paid, valid, unshipped'. That's really unusual for Bitmain, 5 days now ... most of the others I have shipped in 2 days.
Anybody else experiencing slight delays?

I had a transaction delayed tonight ... stuck at 1 confirmation for 3 hours ... (mining account to wallet) then all of a sudden it says 14 confirmations. Phew! ... got a coupon and some BTC ... at this price I can't resist buying just one more Antminer S1.
