It's good for us miners that less were sold They were sold to someone(s) else ... If the original person kept there order and then someone else ordered wouldn't the total amount be greater then if you had stock. Indeed, but that wasn't the case. After failing to pay for 2 weeks, we've released the stock.

Edit: We're honoring the 250 machines price point although less than 200 were actually paid.
I hope enough people see this. I won't praise SP-Tech for this because people trolls will say I am biased, but this should be remembered. No drama here..but just a note that on the group buy above.....the closed group buy page shows 386 units sold and less then 200 paid for according to Spondoolies...wow! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=575499.0I did not realize that on such group buys (perhaps?) you can have such a drop in NOT paying etc.... Kinda shocked that almost 50% do not pay..IN FULL....maybe this is common just pointing it out.... Searing One customer, the 185 machines, decided not to honor the reservation. Above 98% of the rest did.

The actual number of paid GB machines were under 200. They won't ship last. We'll compensate for the missing hash-rate, as explained.

Well diff just jumped ~17% highest percentage jump in a while I hope sptech isn't mining withe the August gb hardware
You know we don't. GB machines weren't produce yet. They'll be produced and shipped during next week. We're producing and shipping 50-100 miners a day.

Dear Customers,
Today, August 19, our Data Center will undergo a series of tests by the Standards Institute of Israel.
These test will be done to make sure that our data center is up to the highest standards for safety and quality.
Should the miners experience any downtime due to these tests we will compensate you with an additional hosting day at our expense.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Regards,
The Spondoolies-Tech Team

I basically made payment on Friday and it probably will go through to them today. I was charged by my bank for overseas payment. I don't want to find out that spoondoolies don't have the machine. Even a refund would mean i'm loosing out on my charges. I've e-mailed sales@.. so let's see what they say. How comes the company doesn't have a number to be contacted on? Even for technical assistance in future after receiving the machine? Is there a number we can contact spondoolies tech on? I had some trouble with my bank with overseas payment and finally got it done on Friday. But I e-mailed spondoolies and got no reply.
Friday and Saturday is week-end in Israel. Try sending another e-mail to sales@ sunday/monday arent - do 'weekend' mails get deleted somehow?? If you've transferred the money on Friday, we'll see it on Tuesday or Wednesday. You'll get a confirmation email from Katya. We're overwhelmed with emails. If you don't get a reply within 48 hours, please email sales@, support@ or info@ again. Thanks, Guy

so now im a spondoolie troll...?
You're certainly not a troll and I do answer the best I can. Feel free to continue asking. Guy

Our commitment is to ship in August.
We're getting ASICs shipments every few days and producing at a a rate of 70 to 100 SP30 per day.
I understand your anxeity, but please be patient. Please keep this tread professional and without personal attacks.
We'll open October SP30 batch soon. The spec we guarantee is 5.5 TH/s with 3KW at the wall.
If we'll miss the hahs-rate upwards (more probable), the customer will win. If we'll miss downwards, we'll compensate for the missing hash-rate and keep the $/GH/s ratio.
Guy
are you guys on a 5 day week or 7 day week shipping till the miners are shipped with breaks between batches? ust curious in that I saw this reply on the weekend Searing Working days in Israel are Sunday - Thursday, weekend is Friday and Saturday.

I did meet Joshua Zipkin in Amsterdam and Hong Kong conferences. I've met many more involved in the industry. Joshua was suppose to come to the cancelled Inside Bitcoin TLV at the end of July. Anyone interested in our ASICs is welcome to contact sales@ The lead time is 3 months due to the huge demand for TSMC 28nm allocations. Guy Spondoolies-Tech/Guy, I assume this is the normal industry folks meeting industry folks. However if not what influence does Joshua Zipkin have on your company ? Anyways you have a good thing going do not let this worm spoil your apple. You are well aware of BFL's reputation by now. None. Prospect customer, like many others.

Like I said, no qualms with you or your team, but this Joshua Zipkin is truly bad news. Later, bud. Bruno Kucinskas I'm not aware and not interested in your mutual history. If anyone wants to buy ASICs with 3 months lead time from us, they're welcome. I'm going to sleep. I don't understand and I'm not sure I want to understand the melodramatic here. Guy

We're not blaming anyone or any company. The nature of the business doesn't allow shuttles and first productions runs. As explained, all the wafers lots until and including September suffers from the same, easily fixable, production issue.

I will compensate Collider So you guys suggest http://toom.im/ for best solution for SP30? What happened to the Iceland data center? Aren't you using this for SP10? We are decentralizing!

Toom.im bros hosting experience update.As previously stated I sent some sp30s to jtoomim´s hosting facility after getting a stellar video tour and answers to any questions I could think of regarding hosting, power and cooling. This is a first update with impression of the service so far, and I must say I am very impressed. Shipping from spondoolies to the hosting facility took only 2 days, the units left Israel on Tuesday and arrived Thursday 11:30am. (Thanks go out to fedex here) Within 15 minutes of delivery, my units were set up and ready to hash, I even got another short video of my units sitting in the rack. I was able to get access to the webUI, although they would have gladly set up the unit via email/skype/facetime provided information. (I guess that should cover everyone ) The units perform well at the advertised 4.5TH. The built-in temperature sensor reported 25°C on a hot day (without the actual cooling systems online) and 21°C on a normal day (with 1/14th of the evaporative coolers running). From experience I can say that spodoolies temperature sensors typically report ~3°C higher than what the actual intake temperature is, and this was confirmed via thermal camera. (although 25°C is nothing to worry about) I am therefore quite certain that temperatures should not exceed 25°C on a hot Washington day and with winter approaching, airflow should be more than sufficient to cool your units to even lower temperatures. I am pleased to say that jtoomim is very knowledgeable about sp30s and sp10s, aswell as bitcoin mining in general, and offered tips on how to further improve unit stability and performance. Finally, I am very pleased with the pricing for this service, which to my knowledge is industry-leading (feel free to correct me though), and certainly lower than what spondoolies themselves offer (which in fairness is not meant to be a long-term solution). I am quite certain jtoomim is still offering video tours of his hosting site for anyone interested in hosting (but please don´t only use it as an excuse to see a pile of hashing sp30s ) Very nice review. Got the video tour myself. I wish we had http://toom.im/ electricity prices ...

My vague statement was correct. I don't reveal the full details on purpose. In about 45 days (October batch) the SP30 will be 5.5 THs (The limiting factor will remain the PSUs. The RockerBox has much more potential for over clocking) This will be done without mask fix, just production tuning.
jtoomim more or less got it right.
Guy
My point is that TSMC will not have 'accidentally' botched 3 separate batches of lots (August, September, October). Remember, these are the same 28nm lines that Qualcomm and Broadcomm use. The notion that it is TSMC's 'fault' is simply a convenient excuse to a design mistake. I have no doubt that TSMC is capable of a retarget of your LVT devices to meet your original performance target. However, that 10% increase you were hoping to achieve with a post engineering run retarget has disappeared. Guy, I applaud your ability to perform damage control. jtoomim, yes my name is intentionally chosen to troll. That doesn't delegitimize my arguments. Source: I run fab sync for a major US semiconductor company. You don't have to believe me, but you can do your own research on the topic. I don't blame TSMC (or GUC). The ASICs we got and getting are within TSMC acceptence criteria. My hands are tied here. With one WAT graph I can prove my claims, but I won't. You're welcome to email me privately. If you're not working for a competition, I'll disclose the info after signing mutual NDA. It's much more than 10% increase and it's not post engineering. I'm as transparent as I can be here. No damage control, but simple truth. Even with the underperforming slow ASICs we have the best miner in the market. Cheers, Guy

We're compensating you for a unit down time. We'll replace your hosted unit with another units early next week, after production. One of your unit has issues. With all due respect, I do have some doubts about that program which pushes PSU to the actual limit through repeated shutdowns. Could it be the culprit? Perhaps, it is better to limit power to 1300 or even 1250W? It is not worth a few extra GH if it significantly increases the PSU failure rate (for the purposes of argument- I don't know if this is true or not). Not related at all to the PSUs
