I don't understand why they stopped producing the SP10 Dawson, it would still sell like crazy.  Huh

SP10 'Hammer' - 7.5 GH/s; 0.58 W/GH/s ; Costs sub $0.90 GH/s for the chips?"

SP30 'Rockerbox' - 200 GH/s; "The first ASIC company to break the 0.5 W/GHs barrier" Costs sub $0.50 GH/s for the chips?

SPXX 'PickAxe' - XXX GH/s; 0.34 W/GHs; Costs sub $0.40 GH/s for the chips?

SPXX 'Mattock' - XXX GH/s; 0.10 W/Ghs; Costs sub $0.20 GH/s for the chips.


Basically this is a war on. It is to develop the cheapest most efficient chips and there are only two real players Spondoolies versus BitFury with the capabilities to do this level of design.

Spondoolies is going Nuclear on efficiency and price and hopefully they will continue selling their chips to anyone with the cash / btc.



Any corrections needed?

I think I was pretty close to the costs of the chips if anything higher than actually off the factory floor prices.

There is obviously no possible way to produce evidence for future earnings in bitcoin mining.

The only thing you could try and prove is that you have a price advantage in deploying and running your hardware, which should therefore allow you to profit more than other mine operators.

Where did I say PROVE?

I said give evidence.

You state they made a profit... ok where is the evidence? Anyhow this is all off topic and doesn't really matter to this security. My concern is this offering and how can one measure it? Are we not just better off buying cloud hashing? Buying say altcoins or BTC? I want to have a good reason to put money into this technology based on projections about this project not other projects. I am seriously interested in this security I believe the technology is the future of mining but is it too early or too low a return given the risk? Show me it is worth it and I will invest. I am asking the DTM guys for insight here not the fanbois or trolls.

----

This is for the DTM guys to answer if they can.

Question is what are the DTM projections should someone buy 10 units of capacity?

1244  Economy / Securities / Re: [HAVELOCK] DataTank Mining: 1.2MW 3M Novec Immersion Cooled 2PH Mining Container on: July 05, 2014, 12:59:42 PM
Yeah, he comes up with some arbitrary problems he seems to deem to hard to overcome and claims the guys havenīt thought the system through.

Obviously nobody is going to hand him the exact plans to build his own, so he is spamming the forum and flinging shit like an ape.

I hope he remembers his words when in 3-6 months everything is set up and working fine.

He has exhausted every avenue now and DTM guys have skillful and without malice answered everything to my satisfaction. He and his posse of alts are on ignore. I am more keen on the what DTM thinks will be the returns for investors? Give we all know the margins for mining are slim even in massive farms is there realistically any potential return for basically being VC funders without the benefits of 'ownership'?

This is my biggest concern as well, and I'm sure we are not the only ones in here. Looking back at the big mining farm investements that came up over the last couple of years, I think there isn't a single one that turned a profit for it's shareholders. So whilst this venture sounds really good on paper I remain sceptical about turning a profit or even getting ROI.
I am pretty sure that most big mining farms have in fact returned a profit for the investors.

See the very first big mining farm, the 500TH mine at megabigpower, it returned full bitcoin profit only half a year after the start of operations.

What you are basically saying is that bitcoin mining isnīt profitable?

Evidence.

That is what I want. Real numbers or projections based on data not just what Dave said off hand or conjecture... you can't rail against the troll and then turn around and do the same and throw out that big mines are profitable. Remember that was then and this is now. Different situation when Mega and others set up initial 6 to 12 months ago and now. Especially with a more competitive market out there than in 2013 or even April or May this year given what I saw at the HK Inside Bitcoin conference.

This where either as a VC you challenge them to produce the numbers and estimates or you as an investor go out and do the homework.

This is where I want to see if this group has done some numbers on this and give us their range or best estimate. Why should I bother putting in my BTC or $$$ given the high risks involved and no number presented. I am not going to compare what other mining fabricators have done to the community good or bad but you need to have some sort of projection. Has that been presented?

Are we the ones who are putting up the first coins to simply pay for the development of this tech while others reap the rewards in a second or third generation variant? This has been the unfortunate model in the past and since there is no "ownership" in the venture here just shares of the mining then it becomes less interesting on the face of it. So you need to be convinced with some sort of estimates or projections for buying watts (shares) in these dunk tanks.

I am confident these guys are on the level and are honest brokers but we need to have numbers to determine whether or not we should risk our money on this or just buy some BTC or another ALT that might be as risky with potentially a much greater return.

What can I expect for my say 1 unit of capacity?

That way I can compare it to other opportunities and make a calculated decision right?

---

My apologies if I have skimmed over these notes somewhere or if that has been stated here. Lot of wasted effort on the troll side to get to the crux of the matter. Is it worth buying 1 unit or 100 units of capacity? That is what investors want to gauge.

When will the next gen be available?

In just 3 weeks! (for those that made the July pre-order) Otherwise just check my sig.

Is it time for me to wake up? August already what hey what?

Nope zZzzzz Zzzzz.

Chips in hand yet guys or soon?

He has certainly proven that the DTM team is professional.

Is he not worth it to have around as a foil for pushing professionals to answer in more detail (wasting their valuable time answering simple questions already explained in the prospectus)?


Since you have pretty much clarified for him all the technical "problems" there it might be time to just ignore these nuisance posts and get answering relevant questions there.
1248  Economy / Securities / Re: [HAVELOCK] DataTank Mining: 1.2MW 3M Novec Immersion Cooled 2PH Mining Container on: July 05, 2014, 04:35:56 AM
Any updates since the last update of 23 Jun 2014?

The opportunity here is really interesting but what are some of potential projection on the returns?

VC's would expect a better than "average" return on this sort of investment. Distinguished Innovator Lecture - Adam Grosser

I know with mining it is a crap shoot of sorts given the price of BTC etc but the margins right now are small and returns for mining are very low even on a massive scale is that not correct?

----

OT - I think this troll and his alter egos are actually very good for this security offering.

1. It shows the professionalism of the team and further provides mountains of evidence to support the claims of Data Tank Mining.
2. It shows clearly that the design implications for chips and boards is increasing density and we are already seeing the limits of heat sinks.
3. It correctly questions the viability of air, oil or water blocks moving forward and exposes the weaknesses in the other systems.
4. It attacks the weakest point in the Data Tank Mining offering that cost to cost comparisons of DTM to Massive Chicken Coop (MCC) designs.
5. It is a comparison of apples to oranges, MCC to DTM, but we want to have an itemized line for line of these and a pretty spreadsheet of it.

So moon to Doge!

The idea (be it good or bad) is to get a good old Stones/Beatles fight going. You know like Blur and Oasis. Those Dogeians are so trimmed and polished, so we thought thy could do with a bit of a spanking. We hope to soon find a Doge cartel in the Freicoin world, to bring the action over at Freicoin Mafia to a new level.

DOGE needs a fight...

They look too pretty... needs some bloody nose to make em more acceptable. Freicoin been around longer and has a better DEV team. Flash in the PAN Doge... needs to bring it.

We all know Demurrage kicks Doge's arse.
1251  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Antminer S2 problems on: July 04, 2014, 07:24:23 AM
What is the typical problems of S2 miners ?

1) Hashboards becoming unseated during shipping (resolved with new setup)
2) Miner doesn't retain settings after power cycle (resolved with new firmware or using a different microSD card)
3) Cabling becomes unseated during shipping (open up and reseat cables)
4) Hashboards sometimes don't report temperature or don't show in the web gui (power cycle/reboot otherwise hardware defect)
5) Fans sometimes don't report speeds (no known solution yet though may be a wrongly configured diode)
6) Runs quite hot and pretty damn noisy.

These are the problems I faced. I own currently 4xS2s. Am happy with them though Cheesy

Hope this helps.

Agree with the above. Very happy with our 2 units.

A few days ago we had 1 PSU die... went with a 1250 server PSU no issues now. Testing the back up genset / battery switch over now with this new PSU. Will report back.

Had power outage diesel pick up after battery switch over must have pooched the S2 units somehow. Given the other servers in the DC had no issues think is a good suggestion to have server PSUs as back up for S2s. 1200W+ is what we think is better the 1000W seems to be at the margin and not enough overhead if running 24/7 - 365.

Though it might sound like a contradiction, Freicoin Mafia now accepts payments in Doge: WoW! So war means! WoW!

When will we see the first rogue and rabid Doge family rise to power in Freicoin Mafia?

This thread was opened on June 17th, we're on July 2nd right now and we still don't have an exact price on this? Looks like by the time anything is finalized, this batch might sell out too.

We need news difficulty rises prices are droping its not a walk in the corner buying the correct miner whitout loossing money
Share with us please

Manufacture maybe hesitant to reduce prices?

Fine line... look how long it took Bitmain to release the S3 pricing. My benchmark was the August group buy price. That is where I would pull the trigger.

These are not going to be of any use in a rack.....

Nice to see you promoting BitmainTech in our thread.
Gave up on AM ?  Wink

A B S?

Anybody but Spondoolies?

high: 658.88

I think there are alot of people betting on BTC going through the roof or something given how fast people bought out B1 S3s... B2 coming right on the heels as well. I don't see any softening in people purchasing either SP30s or S3s. Home miners? Are you seriously even considering people still mining at home? I think we all recognize that ship has sailed.

Arguing apples to oranges is ok if you like the sport but really I am keen on the PickAxe and other chips coming later. WPC almost done our Hammer board for the Allied DataTank but we are keen on the Rockerbox chips and then PickAxe.

It be great hear from you guys on what happened in BKK... but I guess we all have to wait for that news once the ink dries. Roll Eyes

I want to see the entire hashfast team in jail.  this way other hw companies know what to expect if they think they can pull something like this.

Probably a new jail has to be built in order to accomodate all those bitcoin scammers.

The "bit collar criminals", yes I invented the phrase, need no special jail. Gen pop and prison orange and let them enjoy the wonderful accommodations that current prison systems provide.
1258  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANN: BITMAIN has Tested Its 28nm Bitcoin Mining Chip BM1382 on: June 30, 2014, 12:56:05 PM
Wow... great price point at 0.75BTC per unit.  The specs state you only need 2 of the 4 PCI-e connections if you want to run it non-overclocked - so it would appear I can replace my 2 S1s with these and use the same HX1050 to power them both.

sold out though Sad

0.75BTC isnt bad, espescially if it ships on the 10th. If it ships the 20th though, 0.75BTC would be a little bit over priced (0.65-0.7 would be fair)
Not sold out, they start selling in 28 minutes. And the price is perfect. Bitcoin prices are up. Bitmian will dominate once again. YES
edit.. my point being that the S3 is priced in Bitcoin, not dollars. And the prices are back up after the US Marshall B.S. If Bitcoins rise in price more, and they will, then the S3 becomes a great opportunity. I will buy at least 20.

10 oclock  +8 is actually in an hour and 20 mins. Here in Aus were on the same time and its 8:42 PM as I type this Smiley
Ahh yes you are correct. Anyone want to bet on how fast they sell out? I say 10 minutes and all gone.....

Sell out? They can produce what from 1000 to 3000 a day? How many chips they got in the pipeline?

Are we in need of a new clock for the Monarch?

I don't think the Monarch will launch.  It would be cheaper for BFL to buy Neptunes and partition off 600GH/s chunks for cloud mining.  I'm sure they could find something to do with all those chips...

They will not ship what they have already started mining. Simple as that... refunds will be converted as slowly as possible to cloud. That way the Ponzi scheme never collapses as the mining they are doing with the units props up the whole thing. Rinse and repeat scenario with the 65nm. Where did all the chips go? How many board versions now? O now... 15 revisions? I can only imagine where those chips are currently... and how they are hashing happy thanks to Luke Jr since what December 2013?
