@spondoolies
Are the chips already in hand?
We're getting the ASICs on Tuesday Posted just yesterday. SP30's still on track to be shipped by August for my units. |

|

the s30 will not hash for you for at least 45 days. it should not be compared to anything at all.
Countdown Clock Started.  I will post my 2 x SP30 units hashing away in Norway when it happens. Let us see if they make it to the Data Center there in Sogne, Norway in less than 45 days. I have a sneaking suspicion they will. Order Date Payment Status Fulfillment Status Total
#1XXX May 03, 2014 paid unfulfilled $8,991.00 |

Please hold on to your sarcasm Some people might not detect it as such and start spamming spondoolies on where to get some nonexistant preorder for some vaguely designed product. Is it August yet? SP50's I'll take two and side order of slaw thanks. |

Looking to buy an August SP30 if anyone is selling.
Nope not me. Anyone else? |

How goes your miners people... nice to hear if they are still hashing hard?
I bought 4 on eBay a couple of weeks ago. Together, they never quite get to 10GH/s but they do get close. If I restart BFGMiner, I always have to fiddle around with them to get them working again. Usually just pulling them out of the hub and swapping them around gets them hashing again. Hopefully the driver and BFGMiner will mature a bit. Linux or windows? You can also try cgminer 3.5.0 Windows and BFGMiner ONLY. I refuse to use CGMiner unless it's already embedded in my device. The windows version has problems. I would recommend either install Ubuntu vm or use cgminer. |

Anyone have a working Windows driver yet? I tried the VM/Ubuntu method and even installed a homemade driver someone sent me. And one of those things destroyed my main computer. I keep getting the BSoD and I can't even recover Windows 7. Trying a fresh install of Windows 8 now.  Windows drivers and compiled version from the ee are freshly uploaded. http://www.sendspace.com/file/q235dn^alpha drivers. That is not a very good site to distribute files on. Please use a better distribution method for files. This site is a virus/adware/malware haven. here it is on mediafire http://www.mediafire.com/download/819me4zvdju8lyg/bfgminerWin.zip |

New official version of cgminer, 3.5.0, now contains support for mining with BF1 devices on both linux and windows.
.deb for raspbian : https://mega.co.nz/#!HdZWXaJL!f8Tq2Td275SK1Dkv0KiBYAQQuFN00vfsuL3v7_cIrsE Instructions: sudo apt-get update #Make sure repos are up to date
sudo dpkg -i cgminer_3.5.0-1_armhf.deb #May complain about missing dependencies, dont panic next step takes care of it
sudo apt-get -f install #Installs the needed dependencies and then failed cgminer form above step. |

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=223680.msg2362815#msg2362815There were a number of different "unique" ideas for a tunnel and boards mounting in a cube for the discussion on the BKKcoins Klondike designs. Here's an idea I had. It's not really feasible since the heat sinks aren't readily available and would be crazy stupid to custom make. It was fun to put it together in Sketchup though. What if you could make a heatsink like this?  They would fit together with the Klondike 16 board on the back, like this:  Notice how the pin placement is more dense towards one end of the heat sink. When you put four together, they create a tunnel:  Less dense end. This is where you blow air in:  Dense end. This is where you want the air to come out:  Now, since there are more pins towards one end of the tunnel, more heat will be given off in the denser end. Thus, the board temperature is the same in both ends. So, make a case of plexiglass boards and some screws/rods:  Put some fans and feet on, and you are good to go:  Those are two 140mm fans, which will ensure good airflow both inside the heat sink tunnel and over the top of the boards. Air is sucked in at the bottom, and pushed out on top, working with the natural flow of hot air. Voilla! The K64 cube.  So, the heatsink I made up for this design is, as I said, not feasible. However, it would be possible to use the same tunnel design with a normal heatsink - but the chips towards the top of the cube would get a little warmer than the chips on the bottom. The cubes could be arranged in a square at least 2x2 for a 256W space heater.

23% diff change monthly - what planet are your from Put it at 30% still make ROI. Put it at 40% still make ROI. Put it at 48.5% just break even @ 621$ BTC. Looking good don't need to live in a Doge to the moon fantasy world make back what I paid. Guess I live on planet Earth. |

"We have been using S2 machine to deploy a mining farm, and that is how we own the hash rate."
What does this part mean exactly?
'We only have S2s in our mining farm and that is all we use to get our hash rate.' Is how I would translate the Google translation or I would make the inference that their entire hash rate is from the S2's they have on their farm and nothing else. They stated they only have 1 - S3 running for testing purposes. |

Have 5 large fright shipments on my UPS account, 1 one @ 220KG has been picked up and moving, nothing on the other 4 yet. As well I have sever orders of chips on the way for anyone that wants to convert their order.
Bobsag I got an email my refund was delayed for the 2nd time, it should have been send today, how long before your company starts sending out refunds again? Did everyone else got their refund except me? I've been waiting for two months now. Minersource promised twice to refund me and both times the refund never came.  I seem to be ignored for some reason, guess customers aren't that important. I've waited patiently on the machines and after that on the refund but this is just a nightmare. Minersource have a ton of people in their refund queue, so if you're still waiting 2 months now, I'd advise you to go for store credit instead. This way you can get miners that you can actually use, or if you choose, sell them on eBay for fiat or this forum for BTC. Why would there be a queue? Can't they pay everyone back? |

Chip cost 0.575$ Gh/s and 0.49$ Gh/s for +4400PCS. You can get a full miner for well under $1 Gh/s. Think carefully about your next move people and do the calculations especially in time to get something made and delivered as well as efficiency the device you intend or have made for you at the wall. The numbers are tight at best. Volume is the only way you can get the costs down. There is limited stock obviously. Please be careful out there when taking chips in lieu of miners. Sell your chips recoup what you can and buy something that is in stock from Bitmain or Rockminer or simply take BTC for your chips. The faster you do that the better off you will be in the long term. Making these into boards now is just not worth it. Who will be first in line to get boards? Who will be last? Does the board fabricator have the capacity to do 1000s of boards day? A week? A month? Suggest you rethink fabrication especially without a clear DELIVERY date for chips and the miners. This a huge nightmare in the making don't get caught up in it if you can get out now do it. |

Can you at least stop with the false advertising?
Or has there ever been a time where you offered the best w/gh and $/gh?
You couldn't buy that in APRIL. I bought S2s that were over 1.5$ Gh/s at that point possibly higher. So? Where is the lie? And it will still be cheaper than any ANTMINER... considering the power, psu, cables etc and the racks / space you would need to match the 12 TH/s of 2 SP30s. Tell me how are you going to host that array of S3's and the octopus of cabling? Not as easy as the SP30s. How long to get everything set up squared away. 4 clicks of lambs tail and the SP30s will up and purring away. Let us see how the PSUs also compare... I think the SP30s will be much more reliable given the experiences with the S2s I had even though I am very happy with Bitmain I am sure I am going to be even happier with my SP30s. Let us stop pissing in the wind Jimmothy. Right now if you are going buy you are going to buy either Spondoolies or Antminer or even Rockminer. I bought from both SPTech and Bitmain nothing yet from Rockminer but I will soon as I want to support the companies that do GREAT things for the customers like ship relatively on time with a product that is to specifications. All three do what is required to make their customers happy. They DO NOT LIE or ATTEMPT to BS the community. You have to admit this or you are basically not paying attention or purposefully trying to drag SPTech's name through the mud. You lose credibility bashing SPTech on minor aspects when it is plain to see that they produce the best products at a reasonably good price in a reasonable amount of time. So does BitMain so does Rockerminer there are plenty of other fabricators we need to warn people NOT to buy from these 3 are ok in my book and I think anyone following the forums closely enough knows this as well. Stray even slightly from these 3 at the present time and you might find yourself sorry you didn't buy from them if you still think mining is even a good bet. you have paid for preorder you are not hashing you have frozen your money you will not mine back your btc you are hoping that miner will be on time (95% preorders are not) you are hoping that miner will have advertised specs (most preorders have not) you are hoping that miner/chips will not be held by customs (avalon case) you are hoping that difilcuty in september will be low (it wont be) better go play just-dice... or buy hardware in stock I gamble on hardware not dice. I am happy with my pre-order vs pick a company name insert here that is not Rockminer, BitMain or SPTech. As I stated and you didn't read I guess I also bought BitMain S2s from in-stock. So... I am perfectly aware there are available items in stock much cheaper than minersource you know. And I am also considering buying DIRECT from Rockminer unless a good GB presents a phenomenal price but again not from minersource the mark up there is pretty high. Who said I am mining BTC or paid in BTC? I am not hoping for anything other than the miner to be delivered to spec and on time. I already said in the last line... "Stray even slightly from these 3 at the present time and you might find yourself sorry you didn't buy from them if you still think mining is even a good bet." You do your own homework. You pay attention and good luck. Listen I am not arguing your points but there are plenty of places to throw your money at so is buying stock in AM or DataTank Mining etc it is all a crap shoot. Even buying in stock stuff can come back crap broken or late... it is all a risk. Buy BTC or an Alt if you want to get the biggest returns I say. I do that as well. This is not a singular investment for me I am not banking on one miner or two there are plenty of angles that do not necessarily involve direct mining. What I do know is that Spondoolies works very hard to deliver as promised. And given the alternatives if you are going to buy miners they would be one of the first companies you want to look at then please do your homework on the "ROI" aspects. I am no fanboi... I am realistic person the bottomline is important to me and that is why I want to buy miners from people who deliver full stop. My reasoning whether sound as an investment will be determined later on what I actually do with the miners after I receive them. It isn't simply ROI... there are other things at play here. Your view in my opinion is much too narrow given the many alternative services being provided today. |

Really? I got an SP30 for under .7$ / gh/s... that is better than anything else right now. It will have 0.34 w/gh per chip... we can test that when it gets plugged in next month. I don't anything FALSE here. I'm assuming you mean the april "group buy"? If so then you probably paid ~10 btc or ~$1/gh. That same 10 btc could buy 7TH worth of antminers shipped in ~2 weeks. You couldn't buy that in APRIL. I bought S2s that were over 1.5$ Gh/s at that point possibly higher. So? Where is the lie? And it will still be cheaper than any ANTMINER... considering the power, psu, cables etc and the racks / space you would need to match the 12 TH/s of 2 SP30s.

Really? I paid 2 x SP30 for under .7$ / gh/s DELIVERED to Norway... that is better than anything else right now. It will have 0.34 w/gh per chip... we can test that when it gets plugged in next month. I don't find anything FALSE here. Seriously you are bashing these guys given the other shameful companies still hocking wares here in Bitcoinland? Come on Jimmothy you are being more than transparent here Spondoolies Tech is not claiming anything that they can NOT deliver. They are unlike many of the other companies out there cause they do have a VERY professional team. One of the best in this community. You would have to agree to that. This sort of targeting of Spondoolies seems very out of place given the real problems the community faces. You have been watching them provide exemplar worthy customer service right? I mean serious they have gone out of their way to make customers happy well outside the basic "contract" for miners. Seriously there are few if any flies on their shit. |
