You're slipping Gleb, we already know Ralph's last name is Crowder.  He was outed several pages back.

I think you are confusing the AntMiner S3 with the SP-20 I asked Spondoolies directly and they said, "Yes, the power connectors are independent. You can use 4 small PSUs, assuming the PCIe connector can handle 300 Watt"

Does anyone know if the 4 power inputs on the SP20 are independent?  ie: can I use multiple separate PSUs w/o causing a problem?  I looked on the product page but didn't see anything in the specs either way.

You can contact the Hashfast CRO if you are interested, they would have the details you are looking for.  There are supposedly 3 generations of IP, 1, 1.5, and 2.

Yup, you sure did.

Not on the shelf but we can do a custom order for almost any power supply at customer request.  Typical lead time for a custom order is 3 - 8 weeks depending on your lead time vs. cost requirements and availability of the required connectors.  Typical minimum order is going to be 100 - 300 boards to be cost effective but it varies by PSU.

We are temporarily out of cables we expect more by Sept. 17th.

Still have plenty of stock of boards for both the DPS-800GBA, and CS (DPS-1200FBA, etc...) in stock.

Sounds like you are using cheapo PSUs.  I use the HP DPS-800GBA + Gigampz breakout board for all my S3's they are reliable as heck I've never had one fail and each one can power 2 S3's either stock clocks or over clocked.

You can use a HP DPS-800GBA 850 Watt server PSU to power two S3's on either stock or over clocked with Gigampz breakout board as described in this thread...

They are industrial strength so they don't crap out like some of the cheaper PSUs and the total cost per S3 comes out to less than $40.  Also the 850 Watt rating is 100% available on a single 12 volt rail so you don't have the problem with cheaper PSUs where it is rated for 600 Watts but only a fraction of that can be used on the PCIe connectors.

I strongly suspect it is pin 38 but I wasn't able confirm 100% before a lightning storm took out my test server.

Generally speaking they all have the same physical appearance.  A single fan at the rear of the PSU with a pull handle, 1 U thickness and a 64-pin board edge connector. 

If you search for "Common Slot" on Google or ebay you will be able to find listings of exact part numbers.  They come in wattage from 460 up to 1600 but 750, 1200 are the most common and most of them are silver efficiency or better.

No, sorry, we looked at it but couldn't get n+1 for a reasonable cost since it would require bus bars between the boards to do it safely.

Gigampz CS boards are now in-stock.  These boards work with any HP Common Slot power supply (ie: DSP-1200FBA, etc...) which come in a wide range of wattages and efficiency ratings.  We have a limited number so for now we are sticking to selling them in the forum only.  Pricing is as follows including shipping in the US.

     1+  $43
     5+  $40
   10+  $38
   20+  $36
   50+  $34
 100+  $32
 121    $31 (entire stock)

There is a photo of my mini farm with an early prototype of my Gigampz power supply.

I'm confused you post all these breathless rants about how no one is telling you what is going on and then you claim in the next sentence that you have inside knowledge of the operations of some HF vendor?  You sound like you are just here to sow FUD.

I'm not sure why you thought the CRO would fix this situation over night but that just isn't the way the world works.  Good progress is being made though.  The public court documents answer almost all of your questions.  If you are having trouble reading and understanding them then I suggest you hire a lawyer to explain to you how it all works.

The plan is to get as much money as possible for the creditors.  The CRO is working in San Francisco and directly overseeing and executing the day to day work of making that happen.  That includes things like selling what can be sold, licensing what can be licensed, and other business negotiations that will return money.

The locations of the various assets are listed in the court document titled "Schedule B Personal Property" DOC#84.  In short they are in multiple locations including Canada, Korea, and California.

The CRO is in charge as of two weeks ago.

This question has been answered several times.  The deadline for filing claims in October 2014.  No money gets paid out until after that date.  Any money recovered between now and then gets put into an account that is monitored by the US Bankruptcy Trustee and will be returned to creditors some time after that October deadline.  If you have questions about how bankruptcy works you should contact your lawyer or call the US Bankruptcy trustee's office and ask them.

You'll have to confirm with them but it's my understanding they have GN1 chips, whole wafers, and ATX power supplies that are basically shipping immediately from stock.

Bitmain.  They are the only ones that have consistently met their deadlines and specs and in the one case where they had a small miss on specs they compensated customers proportionately.  Spondoolies is the only other manufacture even close.  It's notable that both of these companies appear to have had their R&D funded by private investment.

All the other manufactures in hindsight appear to be thinly veiled schemes to use customer money to finance R&D which they then use to build private mines once all the risk has been eliminated with other people's money.

Hashfast lead everyone to believe that their R&D had been privately funded but we now know that was false and they were using customer money to fund and operate the company.  Money which was not rightfully theirs since they hadn't yet shipped any products.

We've got cables back in stock.  We are also offering a meet it or beat it price guarantee on our boards and kits.

Sounds like a case of POS PSU.

Hard to say w/o knowing what your name is.  If they are sending you notices though your name must be on some list.
