Yep, got paid in in the last 12 hours by all three coins. Very glad to see everything working. Still don't know where the Doge actually comes from, but it's an extra something. Does the pool actually practice merge mining with the other coins like Ixcoin, Devcoin, I0coin and Groupcoin, then sell them off to get the Doge?
s0br said the pool is not merge mining the DOGE coins (it is a Scrypt coin) and he just gives them out as a extra and treats them as a tip coin, that is why they are listed under "Bonus Coins". They are not worth much and I just have them converted to BTC as I do with the NMC. where do you convert them? would I need to first set up a DOGE Wallet?? If so, suggestions??? Alot of people use Cryptsy.com |

It means that they have reached tape-out stage, reaching that stage has no bearing on how long it takes from tape-out to reach full production, minimum is probably around 3-6 months. But if they have to wait for foundry could be much longer.

12U, 16kw, 10 replaceable hashing boards.
IMHO, if you came out with something like 4U/5Kw/3 or 4 board version in the 20-25TH range you'd make a killing. I think that would still keep the home miner in the game as basically anyone with 5 SP20's running today should/would be able to convert over to this. As with the SP30/31/35 the rack mount form factor would be great for those of us in a datacenter setting. I would absolutely buy one of your third generation units at a 4U form factor, i can not imagine it costing you that much more to release both form factors simultaneously. Since if you did released it to industrial miners first they would have the advantage of the new ASIC technology before the home miners giving the industrial miners more of an advantage. Releasing both form factors simultaneously however would create a more level playing field. You would also gain even more respect then you already have amongst the Bitcoin community. Furthermore in the long run this might even be the most profitable strategy for spoondoolies, since what is good for Bitcoin is also good for spondoolies. that is one of the beautiful things about Bitcoin, it is supposed to align incentives towards good.  Launching two product lines simultaneously isn't feasible. As with our previous gens, we'll be open to sell our ASICs. The 3 months lead time on the ASICs kill most of those deals. If it at all helps to do pre-orders, i think you should. I would pre-order a 4u or 2u third generation unit and i am sure many other people here would do so as well, i bought my sp31's on a pre order as well after all. Thank you for your suggestion. However, due to the technology risk of our 3rd gen tech, we don't think it's suitable for pre-orders by non accredited investors. We're working on funding the masks set and initial batch not through pre-orders. Don't underestimate how important it is that this company is actively resisting pre-orders. |

And just how quiet is the bitcrane unit? Haven't found any videos on em so they're not exactly popular at all.
I am pretty sure they use watercooled Hashfast boards, so I doubt they will be making many more of them (BitCrane) so whatever stock they have is about all they got I imagine. |

Both sold through escrow for 1BTC each to scyth3
Buyer paid via escrow and paid for their own shipping costs.
Escrow through ognasty.
Trust updated for both scyth3 and ognasty.

What's the SP20 FD121238UB fan wire system? Yellow, Black, Green, Blue
As I know that normal standard:
BLACK: Negative
RED: Positive
YELLOW: Tacho
BLUE: PWM Control
Pinout: 1 - 12V 2 - GND 3 - TACHO (Fan output towards controller board for rotation indication) 4 - PWM (controller board output towards fan to set rotation speed) |

I am not sure what miners you are talking about, but as far as i know they are just a shop which orders from other companies who make a deal with them to sell miners.
Never seen them have own brand miners in shop.
I think you ordered one miner which probably was from a company which disappeared.
Their are plenty which was going to deliver in feb. but went offline or never answer if you mail them
Actually technobit take chips from other manufacturers and build their own hashing boards around those chips. They don't resell other companies miners. |

I am very interested now, just need one more question answered.
How do I exit from the service if needed? Besides selling to someone here, can I: get it shipped to me for a reasonable cost, you buy it back through the cost of daily service at an agreed price(takes months of no service host charge), get a refund at any time with the current value of the machine listed somewhere?
Thanks!
i can ship it to you, still need to find what is the cheapest way to do it, i usually use ups, but it is too expensive right now i can buy back, we can negotiate a price by then I can confirm that Li bought back my miners from a previous deal allowing me to trade up to the current deal. |

I'd be interested in knowing if this adapter worked as well. Have a few 4 pin PWM fans I would like to try to experiment with in the SP20's. Its not that connector, thats a standard VGA power connecter found on graphics cards, its too big for the spondoolies socket. I know, I bought one months ago. |

Your probably hitting the max speed for the ambient temps before the chips start slowing down due to overheating.
Check the Asic stats tab and the temps like this: 85c (125c)
125c is the max before they throttle.

Does someone has good settings for SP30 to lower its power use.
I remember that it was possible to do 2.4kw and 3.9-4Th and/or 1.9kw and 3.6 TH (I am mostly interested in these settings).
Or is does it mimic the SP20?
I'd go slow, set: Startup Voltage: 0.6 Voltage Limit: 0.65 Then just adust voltage limit. |

Do you have to pay the host fee if down the whole day?
And can anyone tell me how host fees are paid?
I keep a record of any outages for the month then claim them back when it comes time to pay. Luckily this month has been fine so far. |

this is down so it seems like there has been a crash of some type. but I just checked on my monitor and I am back up on one miner Its just a page on his site, it links to: |

All, still clearly learning and digging around and i made the mistake of assuming i knew what type of miner i had to when i added it to rig MRR overnight i ended up with some peeved people.
I thought it was a Scrypt rig , but the two people that hired them overnight told me otherwise along with some other choice words!
Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
They are SHA-256 miners. So rent them out as either that or Bitcoin miners. |

Spondoolies-Tech make 2U rackmount units that do 4.5-5.5TH you can check the thread on the forum here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=521520.0The SP31 is currently in stock which is their most power efficient unit. There is a higher speed SP35 but its just gone out of stock. The SP3x range are fully integrated with built in server grade PSU's Bitmain did make the S4 as well which is a 3U 2TH unit, but they are out of stock so getting one second hand might be an option Otherwise there were 1.6TH Cointerra 4U units but they are no longer in business, but you might be able to pick them up second hand, but their power efficiency is low and their TH/U rating is much lower. |

The noise of the fan on the SP20 is 90% the fan itself, very little of the noise is caused by the grill.
Instead of drilling the case why not take the fan out and run it outside the case, listen to the noise, and then you can decide if hacking the grill to bits will actually be worthwhile.
You can replace the fan easily enough with a slower less CFM model and run it from a molex converter plugged into the PSU, you are then just limiting the speed at which you can hash at because of the cooling power of the replacement fan.
Also, its probably the acoustics of the SP20 itself that causes the fan noise to be amplified. Its pretty much like a mini echo chamber. Some, but not much, its just a noisy fan, it has a unique mechanical noise even at low speeds. The reason why I asked if they had bothered to take the fan out and hear it just sitting on a desk (hold on to it though!) because some of us have already done that months ago. ...and adding the resonating high-pitched "whining" noise produced by this particular grill pattern on top of the fan noise would be enough to drive some people batty. Note that in the test that I linked in my OP above, the honeycomb pattern started to give off a high-pitched whining noise at low fan speed. According to the spec of the Antec 120mm Tri-Cool fan that was used in the test, it spins at 1200 RPM and moves 39 CFM of air at low fan setting. The SP20's more powerful fan most likely augments this acoustical phenomenon. I've experienced this annoying whine myself at a very low fan speed with the honeycomb grill pattern as I've stated in my OP. I don't own an SP20 but I'm under the impression that the "whine" is what owners are annoyed about. Does the SP20 whine? No the SP20 doesn't whine, the fan that comes with the SP20 whines, well its more like a whining gearbox noise. This whining noise goes away if you replace the fan with another fan that isn't engineered in the same way. The mechanics of the fan are what makes the annoying noise. Take the SP20 fan out of the case and it continues to make the same noise. The grill design doesn't make the noise, it does add some air movement noise and some accoustic noise because of its restrictive nature, but its not the cause of the noise that grinds your brain to mush, thats caused by the fan mechanics. |

Today we found 4 blocks already so payments should get back to normal  That's some pretty nice luck Aaaand we just found another one  It appears that 3 out of the 5 blocks were found by s0br himself renting rigs  |
