Have you ever considered how long it takes to ship out thousands of miners?

Yes, probably not too long. Suppose you have 10 people dealing with shipping and you want to ship 1000 miners a day, working 8 hours a day.

That means every person needs to package and ship one miner every five minutes. That doesn't sound very hard.

Do you have any idea how big is china population its 1,3 bil people.Anything includes man power can be done cheep and easy.Specially for a job that does not require experience the only experienced must be easy they hire 3000 people  for a week or so, do their job and finish.

The only job that requirs skill except the electronics is the logistics adresses etc
that in my case for all Bitmain parcels were hand written!!!
 

Με αυτα τα λεφτα εγω δινω με μπιμπερον ρευμα στους πεινασμενους μινερς
Ναι οντως κανενας δεν θελει να κανει σοβαρη δουλεια...
Αντε να πληρωσεις οτι περιπου και στο εξωτερικο αλλα οχι και ετσι...
Αντε να βρεθει καποιος με φωτοβολταικο / υδρουλεκτρικο σταθμο να δουμε αν πουλαει φτηνοτερα
θα γινει πανικος

We say in my country ´ship that its arrival is delayed is loaded full of shit¨.
So the longer the time passes its more unlikely we will hear any good news or news at all.
I understand that SP tech is a serious company and all it wants is to sell but want more money for its items as any healthy thinking company.
As I have read from buyers before in this thread they will spent a specific amount of money.So the less units for most money is their goal.As at today used SP10 are sold on the bay for about 2300 USD
This kind of group buy, puts pressure in the company and finally they dont make any kind of agreement,  at least with someone that is not closelly related with the company....
So am unsure if we will hear any good price at least not until the first SP30 will be delivered.
August is only 15d ays away and the previous GB buyers are anxious.
I am anxious too to see what will happen....

Maybe Spondoolies if reads this place gives us a clue of their reaction.

 

have you jump started the power supply to work all the time as if it was open???
Sometimes when I was running my USB miners along with a single I had there were conflicts on the ports
try using another usb port of the computer not a hub and expect to have to restart it after 24-48 hours

has anyone checked the status of his orders do you see any tracking numbers its 15/7/2014 already

Your first model claimed 2th/s and failed to comply according to buyer tests.
Now you mention this one is 2 th/s you must sent to a reputable member to test it
then you will be able to sell more.
2700+shipping as mentioned previously its so hard to roi when with 1500 more you can purchase
a Spondoolies that has 3 times the advertised hash with the well known SP10 quality product.
We all want to make a Mercedes but only few make to build it...
As buyers we need high quality and low prices
Also important to all chinese manufacturers that read this post
If you want to make money with bitcoin in long term, pass the mining to the masses
otherwise you mine with your own equipment and finally fuck bitcoin.
A good example is LKETC very good product but expensive, they have only sold 5 miners since first of June...
They keep taking price down but not donw enought...
so stock remains the same .....

ALSO WOULD NOT MIND TO TAKE A WHITE SHEET OR RED TABLECLOTH PUT YOUR MINER ON IT
AND MAKE SOME HIGH QUALITY PHOTOS ALONG WITH THE HASH RATE WITH UPTIME MORE THAN A WEEK.

RENT A PROFECIONAL ITS INTERNATIONAL MARKET YOU HIT

Scrypt and Sha different algorithms

first one counts in Mhash (at least for few more months) the other in Giga hash (at least for few months)

Be patient for few minutes in your pool and better try Ghash for quick comparison as other pools are slower in showing your results, then when you are done with the testing choose your favorite pool

Antminers S1                                    not quiet specially in hot weather fans spin fast
Dragon                                                quiet like a computer  about 55db
Spondoolies                                      Forget it (nice miner thought)
KNC Jupiter                                       very quiet hardly notice it works
BFL SIngle 60                                    not quite

so the list can be updated

Sad to see spec change to lower scale when you have already purchased the miners....
off-course we would never pay more for lets say 20% increase of hashing!!!
SO testing and testing and testing then sell sell sell

i DONThave experience with bitfury but antminers and dragons are not affected with temps reaching 40c
they run the same overheat off-course but run Ok

yes but what was the path followed???

I think the minimum is to cover electricity at least so if you have lets say a small miner that has hash power about 35Ghs with power consumpsion about 40w in 24 hours makes 960w with 0,13 per kilowatt it costs 0,12 usd per day and with current price of bTC makes 0,65 usd per day.
If difficutly does not change for ever (that will change in few days and again in few days) this makes half a dollar per day.
When you buy it it will cost about 80 usd with the current difficulty you need 160 days to break even then all the profit is yours LOL
this is the minimum
the maximum go to pictures of my rigs and see some monster installations...

When bad luck strikes for a long period you start thinking changing pools
I did start with Slush then another pool and then Ghash where am mining now
I even made a comparison put 4 antminers on Guild and 4 on Ghash
There was a difference small but it was there.Plus that Guild has fees and usually bad luck
Ghash are not saints they forget to confirm block they have connection problems
and more
But its a jungle...from one side of the river and from the other side is the chinese asic companies
most probably will be eaten from the wild beasts......

It important to ship a large quantity not just 500-1000 pcs and the rest of the buyers wait and wait and wait...

Η οπως λέει ενα αλλο τραγουδι

I fought the law and the law won  : CLASH

they sell it for 1620 usd not 3000 but sales are slow only 5 pcs sold in about 3 weeks
everyone is waiting for the big hit this august...
Big players like Spondoolies and Bitmain will flow the market with Terra hash.
Then this same will have to compete Antminer s3 with 1 btc per th/s
 

there is an ignore button I have done this with bitpot some time ago...
i how this guy can escrow something when he cant simply escrow himself

I have 3 of those and I still use them when my pc is on
no reason to leave computer on for this only

εγω λυπαμε ακομα μια φορα για την κακη διασημοτητα που παιρνει το bitcoin
δηλαδη οσοι ασχολουνται με αυτο ειναι και καλα λαμογια....

with S1 being the 20% of the network there is a lot of spaggetti out there...
please price
