BTC0.527 for shipping! Forget it  Plus they don't even say how long will it take. Could be on a slow boat from China  The value of btc in dollar term shattered the business of hardware manufacturers. No need to say a word about small scale miners, that even over a little ago. yeah its a big diffeernce making hardware at $500 / btc vs $350 /btc and with the big swings on top of it makes it even more risky |

bit off topic it seems that diff is plateauing a bit with the drop in bitcoin price https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficultyI'm kind of glad about the price drop, its really hurting the whales who dump BTC i think since it makes it harder for them to pay their bills and they might have to start dumping hardware at lower costs. |

The SP30's (Sept Batch) are amazing. Some are hashing above their nominal (4.5 THS):  Thank you @SPTech What values are you recording there ? I get a CGminer hashrate larger than the one reported by the machine in the left corner .. the pools are reporting what they feel like. I've found that hash rates all come down to ambient temps. During the warm part of September the unit seemed to be stuck at about 4445TH or so. now that its cooler 23c front back and 72, 73 top bottom I'm seeing 4550 or so. |

BTC15 ........are you nucking futs  har har |

are they really profitable ?
Like anything they were extremely profitable for those who got in early Right now with current BTC prices faling and the prices on their hashlets rising Not so much. They sell sha at 10gh for 8.95 and scrypt of different flavors from $14.95 to 49.99 for the hashlet primes that can mine two pools simultaneously every 12 hrs. GAW is profitability yes ROI in 3 months if the trend continues but those who got in early got primes for $16 vs $45 . |

So ZeusMiner and Rockminer are shipping at 900GHZ miner for $349 @1000watts
I cant see how the sp20 can still be priced close to $1200 now
if the prices don't change by next week I will be selling $900 USD of SP tech coupons for around $700 if anyone is interested
I don't have the funds to purchase an sp3500 I was interested in the sp20 units but not at the curent price so I will probbaly have to cut my losses
and sell the coupons.
what coupons are you talking about? I think that you could choose cash rebate from the get go. I did not want to wait till October for my refund and I had my mind set on a sp31 October batch which it seems they oversold... my order was cancelled so I was left holding the bag with the coupons instead of an SP31 and I'm not interested in anything with a November delivery right now with btc tanking and diff climbing. They did offer me 5% on an sp35 but I would need a LOT bigger discount than that to even consider pulling the trigger. Considering the fact that the coupons I got actually were due to the fact that my sp30 was under spec by over 1TH I'm kinda irritated with the whole deal. thus is leaned towards the SP20 which right now seems like an even worse deal. |

I will be willing to part with the gift cards for around $700
they are good for six months on any of their hardware.

Unfortunately, even with the latest developments, solar power (photovoltaics) is the most expensive renewable energy at this point in time as $$/MWh goes. And it runs twice more expensive as the next in line (wind offshore), if you're off-the-grid, mainly because of the battery costs.
yeah the battery costs are high , some people have success chanining together a ton of cheap car battries though if you are a do it yoruselfer |

Does anyone here know when SP30 September batch are supposed to be hosted or shipped?
It's almost October. Should be called October batch instead and the October batch are really November batch in reality. It's off by a month.
Its the same with all manurfactuers , August batch shipped around 25-28 0f aug , why would sept batch be any different. |

very nice to see this comparison rather than the bickering and drivel in the last month or so. This goes to show how far ahead of the game Spondoolies started at, but that companies are catching up slowly.
A mistake was just pointed out to me which I've now corrected and adjusted the price to $400 USD/BTC. This give the following results. SP35 costs 4,035 USD inc. PSU + shipping for 6 Th/s at 3.5kW, it would take 147 days to break even, 10 x AM Prisma costs 7760 USD inc. PSUs + shipping for 14 Th/s at 10.5 kW, it would take 185 days to break even, and S3+ B9 costs 232 USD inc. PSU + shipping for 453 Gh/s at 355W, it would take 176 days to break even. Profit per Th per day: SP20 = 3.25 SP35 = 3.4 S3+ = 2.92 AM Tube = 2.1 AM Prisma = 3 147 days at what what diff jump increase ? seems optimistic to me |

Titan shipping halted due to 'last minute' firmware bug …
I guess they need to mine some more LTC before they ship just to keep the company afloat
Why would they need more money , they just signed a 16million deal with that VC group |

I imagine waiting on Titan to ship feels a bit like being a condemned man waiting for the executioner to arrive.
Scrypt-n capabilities are like the last cigarette before the guillotine falls.
Meanwhile BTC is testing 350-400 USD for the 4th time and LTC is about to test ~3.5 USD on its way to 2
All during a week when AliBaba opens at~$92 and the stock markets are at an insanely frothy all time high on the back of fiat interest rate manipulation by the Fed.
Nice summation. I have to say they really named the Titan(nic) quite well |

So because you make a living by being a driver. Its ok for you to be a gateaway driver in a bank robbery?
Stupid, if you work with/for criminals, your reputation is tainted. I'm sure they would use his name to make it sounds more legit. His actual work probably wont benefit any of the "customers"..... or "investors"

From initial testings with the slow ASICs we currently have, we see great over clocking potential in the SP20.
The limiting factor is cooling, and we're working to improve it. Experimenting with various enhancements to the heatsinks.
Convinced me to use my coupons and giftcard to pull the trigger on an sp20, finall cost was $364.94 not too shabby for 1.6TH i guess. Hope it delivers quicker than the sp30 did. |

Difficulty is up another ~15% in eight days , Not sure if it is worth it to invest in ANY new hardware at the current hardware prices . Even with a coupon and discounts a SP35 or 31 costs over 3k with shipping
ROI is looking somewhat impossible because by October when units ship difficulty could be up 30% from now ugh.
Don't worry. It will drop down to about 5-7% just few days before next difficulty change ;-) As always fine work with your charts and hardware predictions. You've saved a lot of investors more money and grief than you'll ever know. As you say "Pay it forward" I just want to say thank you again for paying it forward. Sarcasm I hope? The best investment I made this year is in gaw prime hashlets at $16/mhz Now I can sell them for $39.99 or possibly. My sp30 orders are a wash at best at worst no ROI |

If your going to do hosting with the SP20, why would you buy a 1.7Th/s when the SP10s 1.4Th/s are selling for $1,000 and below with power supply included on ebay?
How much power use on the s20 isn't it like 1200w? Its a tad more efficient I guess than the sp10 but you're right its not a great dea Should be priced closer to $900 P.s I guess the assumption is that the buyer already has a psu , |
