both are new items

If you really look around I think you could pay 120 after rebate on newegg for the asrock  + 120  on amazon = 240 new  plus tax and shipping

I want 200 in btc with free shipping.  

be aware that people may try to use a copy of my name phi llipma1957

  my name has 1 l in it not 2 I also have a very high activity  count  924 or so and I very high trust rating.


I rather sell as a kit   but if you want ram alone or mobo alone ask me.

 philipma1957 is me I opened a thread to sell off a few sp20e's


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=954510.0  this is my locked thread


some scum   opened an account yesterday   phillipma1957  and sent out pm's looking to sell sp20e's for 200 usd or so.


Valkir got this fake pm  he let me know today.   I gave the con artist a negative trust.


here is his profile

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=443374


he has 0 posts but he is sending pm's out.  For now I closed the sale thread.

[Ending this for now. No sales for now!]

Ending this for now.  No sales  for now!

 
No sales and locked.  I think the copycat got plenty of bad trust.


I unlocked this please let me know if this con-man has tried to contact you. I want to thank valkir for telling me he got a pm from the thief  locked it up tight I think the copy cat has been burned,




  A fake   is trying to rob people with this  name   phillipma1957    he has 2 l's not 1 l  

I gave him a negative trust.

My thread below is one of the first on the sp20e's

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=872014.0

They run from 1000 to 1200 gh. Due to heat and power restrictions.

Why am I selling some of these off well I have 9 of them and 1 s-5 and 1 avalon 4.1  this is 11 in house miners it is the max I can do and even though it is cold as fuck 10f as I type spring is just around the corner.  Once spring comes I can only do 6 miners due to heat. I prefer to sell some a little early.

 Okay my terms no escrow.
---------------------------------------------------------------
 Make a sane offer for 1 or 2 of them.
---------------------------------------------------------------

 I will sell only 1 or 2 to a customer. I will sell 4 or 5 of them all together.
 

    here is my profile

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=64507

 my btc address is where you will pay me


I will pay 20 bucks of the shipping.  
I live in Howell NJ 07731 .  So if you are close the shipping is free  if you are not close you pay the shipping over 20 bucks.
I have :

8 SP20E's
1 SP20

Must pay in Btc

I got off to a rough start yesterday as no software sdcard was included and no controller .  I have a rasp pi and after a day of getting a blank sd card and loading an image to it. I have the avalon 4.1 running.

I got the machine today very nice quality.  Now comes in black. 

I received  2  cables to link the unit to the usb adapters
I received  2 usb adapters
I received  2 usb cables
I received  1 Avalon 4

There was a mix up about the controller it was not sent so I can't do  review I will email avalon about the controller. I will post photos in an hour or so.

It is very similar in looks to  the sp20 from spondoolies.

Second set of edits:  Thanks to Biffa we have an offsite google poll/survey

How about a google form: http://goo.gl/forms/sOFBGtgj32

it allows 1 vote see second screen shot if you vote 2 times.--- yeah I am sure some know how to get around this. I would like to think it may be somewhat of a deterrent since we are looking for honesty here.

Screenshot of the survey



double vote gets you this.





I am doing this free of charge zip no fees paid to me.

 Since this thread was started by me on behalf of spondoolies-tech on the promise of a fee.  A lot of drama came of it. Thus my decision to not take a fee. SP-tech agreed to donate the fee to a charity of my choice. I will pick some charity that will take btc and ask sp-tech to put in the btc.  I will show the btc addy with the donation to it.
My original fee was to be equipment worth about 2btc.  
Staff/Mods if you will check my pm's you will see my requested fee was 1 sp20 and 2 sp20 fans so I could demo fan mods on a thread here. I wanted to be able to offer a quieter fan solution like the one I did for s-5's. On this thread

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=927941.0;all


That gear was about 2 btc in value.

***********************************************************************************************************************************


The info below is out of date

Lots of edits.

 This  thread got a lot of heated interest  and it shows a need for a more nimble go to guide to current gear+builders .
My poll was partially compromised  due to me not making the choice results blind until the poll ends so  I am no longer taking any compensation for this thread or the  7 polls. .      



A lot of us have purchased from  different builders of asic gear since BTC has started.  
Some builders of gear have been brutal really bad. Some pretty good.

I have been asked by a current builder of gear  to develop a poll/listing/rating of Manufacturers.
I won't reveal the builder of gear that asked me to do this.
I will say I will be compensated by that builder. no longer true I will not take fees to do this.


They want to ask these questions:

- Which, to your experience is the most trusted manufacturer?

- Which manufacturer has the best firmware ?

- Which manufacturer has the best support ?

- Which manufacturer cares the most about its customers ?

- Which is the overall most professional manufacturer ?

They want you to pick from:

1) AsicMiner
2) BitFury
3) BitmainTech
4) KNC
5) Spondoolies-Tech


I listed them in Alphabetical order.

So to do this correctly I will run 5 separate polls.  Each one for 10 days.

poll one first question link is :
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=938258.new#new

poll two second question link is :
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=938259.new#new

poll three third question link is :
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=938260.new#new

poll four fourth question link is :
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=938262.new#new

poll five fifth question  link is :
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=938263.new#new


After the 10 days I will post all five polls here.   EDIT: I will also tell the ex-sponser's name

This is an unfiltered thread.  I am really trying to do a transparent clean set of poll questions and answers.

Thank you.

I added 2 questions one was mine it is here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=938696.0    note this is a blind poll note the choices are a bit different

the other is jimmothy's

Even if you do not want to do ebates the new deal is very good for the evga psu. you can run 2 s-5's if you clock down to freq 325.

and the fan mod would make it quiet.




-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

okay here goes my final mod to my s-5 fans.

Mr Teal mentions that many psu's can supply 7 volts  on the 4 pin molex wires that come with the psu.

My Evga 1300 g2 can do this.

Your first step is plug in a 4 pin molex cable to you psu and check if it supplies 7 volts

bingo 7 volts



molex cable right into the evga 1300 psu



A 4 pin molex adapter cable  mine is to a floppy disk.   the wire you use needs 4 pins.

 I use vircurex to convert my merged coins to btc.   I don't keep lots on the site maybe 0.08btc worth of alt coins. I convert them and pull out btc 1 or 2 times a week.

  So when I go to the site  for the last 10 hours I get this:

[IT IS TOO LOUD WITH STOCK FAN AND STOCK FREQ OF 350]

It is here!!  It works !! yeah

It auto seeks an empty ip address just like the sp20.

IT IS TOO LOUD WITH STOCK FAN AND STOCK FREQ OF 350

If you run stock fan at stock freq it is over 75db and is a nasty sounding 75db.

So a sound proof room and ear plugs are needed. My ears rang from the sound after I turned off the miner at stock speeds and using stock fan. (the fan is pictured here)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=907219.msg9980310#msg9980310

if your s-5 comes with this fan you will almost certainly want to remove it and find a better fan or two fans.

That said I like other parts of the miner


Well with more test and going to freq 356 I get  1197 gh at 588 watts = .49 watts per gh   this is making the s-5 look a lot better.

I will keep the miner at freq 356 for 4 hours to see if it is stable at 1197gh/588 watts and very few hw's

This may make me think it is better then the sp20 if it continues to scale well as I crank up freq.

1) I got it to do 1156gh at stock speed---freq 350
2) uses 581 watts  at stock speed ------freq 350
3) that is .502 watts per gh
4) auto seeks an ip so if you have a 192.168.x.xxx router it should find an address easy
5) once fan modded sound is okay at freq 350
6) temps are 64 and 58 c  I think this is okay my room temp is 28c
7) gui has huge choice of freq from 100 to 500 in steps of 6.25 or 16 per every 100 total of 64 in all
8 ) new miner interface that allows you to see all your miners  use miner config then miner link

So that is 8 good things.

The bad

1) loud loud loud and since I am 57 higher pitched sound is nastier then lower so the stock fan  running at 3600 or 3800 rpm  hurt my ears.
2) it is an s-1 not an s-3 case.  
3) the black sides are plastic
4) no top or bottom
5) stacking is not easy due to plastic sides
6) my s-5 does not like to do more then 1200gh others have had the s-5 do 1300gh------- this may be the fan mod


Would I buy this at 455 for 1 shipped to my home over a sp20e for 500 shipped to my home
some will say use 2  not 1 miner to price compare
2 s-5's to usa NJ with shipping = 899
2 sp20's to usa NJ with shipping = 1000

well I need to add 54 for new fans so  899 + 54 = 953 s-5 vs 1000 sp20  at this price point the sp20 wins
if I make a big set up 10 or more in my house the sp20 wins due to ease to stack.
some people have setups of long none stacked miners  then it is a tie sp20e vs s-5

If I paid 800 for 2 s-5's shipped to my home and did a fan fix for 54 bucks I would be at 854 usd vs 1000 usd.  for a small setup I would say the s-5 is better in this case.


These are very close to the sp20 if they cost a little less and if you add a fan mod.

These are very close to the sp20 if you are able to manage sound in an isolated area.

These are very close to the sp20 if you want under 5  or if you do not need to stack them.

These would best the sp20 for value if the price drops more say 2 for 800 shipped to the usa vs 2 for 900 as they are now.

More tests later today.

I was offered to do this review with a free s-5 from bitmaintech warranty  at zero cost to me. Which was nice of them>  
They gave me no rules to follow they did not ask for a gentle review or please ignore problems.

But here is the deal I set a few standards for me.
 1)Try to be honest and fair.
 2) Ask myself this question   would I want to buy or sell to a person exactly like me?

  my 11 year ebay feedback long before bitcoin was around

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=64507  

my trust on this site.

I did a review on   Spondoolies sp20E  it was fair and honest and I still add info to it.-----In that case I did not get it for free.

My goal is do a good honest review on this thread.

[-1.37%]

I locked this.  notlist3d is running a new diff thread.

for dec 30  2014 to  jan 12 2015


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=909473.new#new


here is the  thread link. for dec 2 to dec 17  we had a -1.37%  adjustment.


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=881394.0


I self moderate.  As I really almost never need to  but just in case some one curses or insults too much.

please do not reply until I really start it.  Thanks


looks like new diff is 39.4  with 1 block to go.  Unless we get a hour long block.


price for BTC is $326.24 usd

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty

okay bitcoincharts has it at about -0.12%

bitcoinwisdom has it at about -0.32%

[I Sold all of Them]

I Sold all of Them

I shipped  4 of them to 3 of the  buyers.

Last buyer will get his shipped on sat. He is getting mining in my house for now.

Thanks to all buyers.



I want 170 usd in btc.  this is 0.471501 btc

I will ship for free up to 20 bucks.  my zip is 07731  that is  Howell, New Jersey.

So this is pretty good if you are close to me.

factory direct is over .6 btc shipped for 1  and you must buy 2 not 1



So I bought a lot of sp20's and I have some s-3's for sale .  They are batch 9 or maybe batch 10 they have the s-3+ software. With freq settings only .  



They run up to 243 freq

hw's are 1 in 1000 at that freq



hashing at about 490gh




newer software with freq choice. there is newer software with volt settings on the website.

 this unit is on freq 234.75

My fast guess is both are low as sp20's and   s-4's have sold very well. I hope for under 5%   this Jump !


Oh here are the jumps since June 2014 when  the s-1 stopped selling and the s-3 started to sell

I do an average for diff from Jul 12 2014 to now as this time frame represents the conversion from 2 watt gear to 1 watt of less gear.

Soon I may pick a new point since .6 watt gear is becoming  more available.

Sold

Okay I am in Howell NJ 07731 USA   I am in the process of upgrades to my mining farm.  I purchased 3 sp20's and I am off loading an S-3+  along with a roswill fortress psu.


These are the newer batches that clock better.

I rather you be close to NJ zip 07731 so when I ship it I can ship it cheaply.

so if you want 1 machine that runs well at freq 237.5 and 1 psu that will be able to run it a more efficient  power this is what you want.

this seller on ebay has the best buy it now price for a 'better s-3'  he claims to get 461 gh.  he wants 229 usd for it and no psu.  I will match that price 229 and give you the psu free

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bitmain-Antminer-S3-460-GH-/181597344697?pt=US_Virtual_Currency&hash=item2a480b93b9


  I want 229 in btc based on coinbase price  


this is about 0.6 btc .   could change at sale price

Don't ask the miner alone the psu alone or any other complicated stuff.


1 miner that does 461 or so

1 psu that will run this miner.

1 cat 5/6 ethernet cable

I will ship free if you are close
send a pm for details and questions.  West coast really costs a lot for me to ship so I rather not ship it to the west coast.

oh 1 psu swtich for the psu.

I will set up your pool and test mine it for you .  I will ship usps priority mail
