Hi All, We are Happy to announce that the SP20 has sold out. It's not too late for those who want to own a Spondoolies-Tech unit as we continue to offer the SP31. http://www.spondoolies-tech.com/products/sp31-yukon-shipping-from-stockThese are the last of our second generation units that will be available while we continue our development of the third generation. A big thank you from all of us at Spondoolies-Tech to all SP20 reviewers, customers, and enthusiasts! Regards, Gadi

just an FYI - both my sp20 & sp20E have been acting up.
possibly due to dying PSUs
new PSUs seem to have solved the constant hiccups for now
I also think they could do with a cleaning/dusting... which is a bit of a nightmare...
one day i'll present to you my 'SPDirty'
oh & BTW - @support asked for (& received) my email address a week ago, nothing since.
BOL Solemn!!
You posted that SD boot solved your issue. Do you still have open issue? and AFTER i posted that, you posted your team would like to send experimental something. days later they PMd to ask for email address (despite already having it) i replied the same day - not heard back since. not that i want anything - just sharing my experience. what do you suggest for cleaning the SP20s heatsinks? I'll check if the experimental SD recovery for your emmc problem is ready. Edit: we'll ship you once it will be ready. http://www.amazon.com/b?node=3012916011

Gentlemen,
I have an SP20 that has decided to restart itself every 300 (roughly) seconds. This unit has been running alongside its sisters just fine for over a month and developed this problem yesterday. Sooooo...a few questions...
Do I email spondoolies directly and if so which email address?
Do I simply let this post prompt someone at SP-tech respond?
What reporting or screen shots can I provide to help tech support solve this problem?
Is there a few quick things I can check myself before escalating this to SP-tech support?
Thanks in advance!

... I was hoping that spondoolies might be able to help avoid such a scenario from taking place. There needs to be mining manufactures that are able to sell to the masses ...
We're trying. That's the plan.

here is the problem as I see it. if bitfury can run 50-100ph at 2 cents a kwatt and .2 watts a gh.
they turn a profit at under 70 bucks a btc.
in fact if they run 100 ph and it uses 30 mega watts they still make money. even if btc is 70 dollars a coin and diff is 100 vs the 44 is it now.
BitFury are at 3.8 cents, but the example hold.

Not with our 2nd gen. Time will tell if there will be retail market for the 3rd gen.
Are you basically saying as of now Spondoolies is out of the race and now it's between the private entity 21e6 and Bitmain? Clarified SP-Tech's reply a bit for you. You've already seen the Spondoolies / Genesis bit and their own earlier hosted options. Those could, arguably, be seen as non-retail. I wouldn't count Spondoolies out just yet To clarify: With Genesis Mining, we ship them SP31 to fulfil the contracts, only after they actually sell the contracts. They're buffering with their own SHA256 machines until our miners arrives. There are three markets: retail, bulk and self mine. Currently, we're doing only the first two. I think the community would appreciate you sticking to that. Manufacturers mining with their own gear while it's new and most profitable and then selling to end users once they've taken the lion's share of the prime lifespan is getting old. We'll try. Unfortunately, I believe we'll see 3-4 mining conglomerates doing self mining with their own ASICs of about 95% of the blocks in 6-12 months. I don't think it will be good for Bitcoin. centralization incoming Yes. Initially 3-4. Afterwards probably only 1-2

What screws fit the holes on the top and bottom of the SP20, I was wanting to secure them on install.
Thank You

BitmainTech and most probably 21e6 and BitFury are deploying. Spondoolies to follow? Not with our 2nd gen. Time will tell if there will be retail market for the 3rd gen. Are you basically saying as of now Spondoolies is out of the race and now it's between the private entity 21e6 and Bitmain? Not at all. I just said that we're currently not deploying our 2nd gen. We're only selling it. At current rate, the stock will be sold out in few weeks (already sold out on the SP35). With our 3rd gen, if there will be a retail market, we'll continue to sell. The entire industry however is going towards mega scale self mining. See my post about BitFury few pages back.

415 PH/s as I write it. BitmainTech and most probably 21e6 and BitFury are deploying.

Contact support@
Seriously You're kidding right I have contacted support several times and I got nothing for it. I asked for the SSH login and I wasn't even told it was root/root. That should've been in the documentation. Why can't tech support provide a written troubleshooting guide I can follow I also requested RMS to return the several DOA SP20 I received in my 15 SP20 order and I have not recieved that either. Order # ? Ticket # ?

I recently received 15 SP20s and I cannot get them all running. Several have the problem of dead or idle boards. Is there a way to wake them up and get them hashing or are they just plain old DOA Below is an example powered by a dedicated Corsair AX1200: Asic stats 2.6.14 Uptime:97 | FPGA ver:100 | BIST in 173 -----BOARD-0----- PSU[UNKNOWN]: 0->(5w/5w)[5 5 5] (->5w[5 5 5]) (lim=270) 0c 0GH cooling:0/0x0 -----BOARD-1----- PSU[UNKNOWN]: 0->(222w/222w)[222 222 222] (->222w[222 222 222]) (lim=270) 0c 370GH cooling:0/0x0 -----BOARD-2----- PSU[UNKNOWN]: 0->(5w/5w)[5 5 5] (->5w[5 5 5]) (lim=270) 0c 0GH cooling:0/0x0 -----BOARD-3----- PSU[UNKNOWN]: 0->(5w/5w)[5 5 5] (->5w[5 5 5]) (lim=270) 0c 0GH cooling:0/0x0 LOOP[0] OFF TO:0 (test serial failed or something) 0: disabled (no power to DC2DC) 1: disabled (no power to DC2DC) LOOP[1] ON TO:0 (w:11) 2: DC2DC/1/:[vlt1:691 vlt2:698(DCl:794 Tl:794 Ul:698) 87W 125A 78c] ASIC:[ 90c (125c) 950hz(BL: 950) 4 (E:193) F:0 L:0] 3: DC2DC/1/:[vlt1:699 vlt2:698(DCl:794 Tl:794 Ul:698) 92W 132A 87c] ASIC:[110c (125c) 970hz(BL: 970) 7 (E:193) F:0 L:0] LOOP[2] OFF TO:0 (test serial failed or something) 4: disabled (no power to DC2DC) 5: disabled (no power to DC2DC) LOOP[3] OFF TO:0 (test serial failed or something) 6: disabled (no power to DC2DC) 7: disabled (no power to DC2DC) [H:HW:370Gh (500),DC-W:179,L:0,A:2,MMtmp:0 TMP:(26/26)=>=>=>(67/67 , 0/0)] Pushed 13 jobs , in HW queue 4 jobs (sw:0, hw:0)! min:34 wins:5[this/last min:4/6] bist-fail:3, hw-err:0 leading-zeroes:41 idle promils[s/m]:0/0, rate:209gh/s asic-count:6 (wins:11+0) wall watts:259 Fan:40, conseq:184 AC2DC BAD: 0 0 R/NR: 93/0 RTF asics: 0 FET: 0:5 1:255 0 restarted 0 reset 0 reset2 0 fake_wins 0 stuck_bist 0 low_power 0 stuck_pll 0 runtime_dsble 0 purge_queue 0 read_timeouts 0 dc2dc_i2c 0 read_tmout2 0 read_crptn 0 purge_queue3 0 bad_idle 0 err_murata Adapter queues: rsp=1, req=24 Contact support@
