How is Dogie wrapped up in all this?

Technobit customers still waiting for product and Dogie still rates them 10/10 for Ethics and Shipping what gives?

It really is amazing that Dogie can ding Spondoolies Tech time and time again and yet never adjusts Technobit down appropriately given the hundreds of complaints posts in these forums.

What about attempting to rate the current manufacturers?

Perspective and on topic.

Avalon is not the company you want to do any deals with given their history.

There are better companies. Better prices and better equipment out there.

Given that you can't make anything mining at home why bother?

Seriously if you are doing it for a hobby put some coins into a company that hasn't basically killed a whole swath of open hardware designers single handedly like Avalon.

There is a reason to avoid them make the right choice.

Call it pudding when it is actually dogshit doesn't make it pudding.

As everyone is pointing out. Avalon is not the units you are looking for.

Minersource stole over a million in equipment from Black Arrow. Black Arrow stole millions from customers. Where does it end?

This situation just screams for law enforcement to get to the bottom of this. Stay away from both companies. You have been warned again.

No point to buying an Avalon given it is less efficient than competition and you will heavily mod it to meet your local needs. Just get an SP20 or S5 or next offering and do the same. Why support this company that price gouged and lost our community a fair number of good open source hardware teams?  Perplexing.

Invoking Bruce's name in a Spondoolies thread... the ultimate contrast.

Guide will be updated Sunday... keep watching 1st post for changes.

You should be scared of competitors that can easily out produce you.  Use whatever term you like. Cognizant, aware, respectful... I prefer the term scared. Puts the right point on it. Then again I am not privy to your total production output so I could be wrong. It may have been the case last year... maybe it isn't the case now.

Ethically this company is one that people should avoid given they cost consumers millions in lost revenue with their chip fiasco.

Don't buy Avalon... just a simple mantra.

Let us put that survey / poll in perspective given what passes as fanboi promotion time and time again in these forums.

We can give Spondoolies a thumbs up or thumbs down nothing more or less. In the 100s of user posts not one person has remained negative towards buying a Spondoolies product. I can't find one person that has had an issue with Spondoolies that hasn't been happy or at least satisfied with the resolution of the issue. For the most part the units are some of the best being offered. They ship on time and often to spec and if off spec refunds / reimbursements have been offered.

I think the poll is a good gauge of CONSUMER feeling but you can read through all the threads, like I usually do, to find out why Spondoolies is the most trusted fabricator currently. You don't need a poll to prove it. The forum has ample evidence to support that results of that poll.

Unfortunately some people want to make more of stink about say Asicminer or Bitmain given their issues but to be honest those companies also try and do their best to rectify the mountain of problems they have.

That is not the case of say Bitmine, Black Arrow, Minersource, Avalon, Technobit, BFL, KNC, HashFast, Cointerra and others. But if you read my guide you will see that.

There is no real need to buy equipment for home mining or small mining operations you are fighting a losing cause. But if you are still painfully ignorant of the mining world or mine for fun or whatever reason besides a return on your investment then it is either Spondoolies or Bitmaintech right now. Edge goes to Spondoolies based on customers service and superior build quality. I don't need a multiple column framework using a ten point sliding scale to know that. Anyone in direct competition with Spondoolies also knows this and are scared.

However Spondoolies can't turn on a dime and pump out a 'million' miners in a month can they? No they can't and that is where they are scared of their competition.

Minersource and Technobit tag team consumers for more losses.

Or Dogie gives Techonbit a 10/10 for Ethics and 10/10 for delivery on time. Someone ain't watching the boards are they?


And...

My guess he couldn't get the thread moved out of hardware when he reported it as being in the wrong section of the forum and as he is not being paid to promote strato's offering he wants to limit his potential customer base for whatever reason.

On topic:

Interesting idea but really costs would be prohibitive to make this viable for home users. Everything is a loss at this point.

"Avalon outsells Spondoolies Tech 50 - 1."  (Who is going to be selling in 2015, 2016 and 2017. I bet you Avalon won't)
"You can't post here." (BFL, Bitmine.ch, Black Arrow and Technobit at their worst covering up their lies and deceit welcome to the club Dogie.)

Same arguments that BFL / Technobit used to combat a flood of posts against their lackluster performance.

Funny how the worm turns.

There is obvious bias in this guide and now with spam posting Bitmain threads that is a complete lack of respect for Bitmain and their efforts to do better. You are dragging them down with you Dogie and that isn't cool. Maybe you need to rethink your "support" for companies at this point given when you comment in threads, you are merely trying to burying other threads in a sea of dogie spam. It is unnecessary and the mods should be reviewing this and warning you. That is the issue.

You bring up 50 to 1. You bring up you can't post here. So this post is FAIR response.

Doesn't anyone else see what Dogie is doing to Bitmain?


and


If people want to see less posts here that are negative about Dogie then maybe it is Dogie that needs to rethink what he posts. This is a self inflicted wound that he continually infects with his fecund bump posts and is right that people call out Dogie on this in this thread. This is not a meta issue or spam issue here. We are on topic on this thread and it is more than fair game to ridicule his overt bias and tit for tat bullshit in the forums. The mods need to do more to cull his posts as it now looks he is trying to spread disinformation not only about SPtech but Bitmain as well.

Pardon... Mr. Moderator they are abusive if anyone needs moderation it is you? Maybe you don't like the truth. Start a moderated guide otherwise people are going to freely call out your thread. Censorship isn't free dogie you have to do the work not the mods.

Do you need to file a complaint against Bitmine.ch?

Jail you will go. Let us hope people recoup their investment.

 

Obviously Mr Dogie doesn't care about ruining the reputation of Bitmaintech.

SPTech continues to wow customers with superior customer service.

I could have titled this post or "What Dogie won't show you in his ratings about SPTech."

1. Price rises to make mining profitable... larger farms stay online and ramp up with more efficient units.
2. Prices of miners will never be low enough for a home miner to compete.
3. Race to ZERO $$$ electrical cost is where you will make headway in this commercial mining race now.

@huff... you are so correct sir!

SPTech has been cleaning the floor with the competition on a number of areas I would really love to see their commercial customer list with how many units have been sold. I am pretty sure that be impressive.
