Well it looks like they actually have a little more information and a potential picture of the unit on their website now.
That's unprecedented density, 1 MW (theoretical) in HALF A RACK. Compare that to a SP35 half rack of ~20KW. Read again. 20 X 42U Well that does make more sense  The "20 - 42" is a bit confusing to mean "20 x 42" when just above it uses "2 - 4" to mean "between 2 and 4". |

Bitmain dropped 10 points when I became involved with them.
Canaan Creative dropped 3 points when I became involved with them.
Spondoolies' rating has risen over the same period, even during the problems of under performing SP30 preorders.
Please don't bring the minuscule dropping of points into discussion because I already showed the real reasoning for this small drop(this was just a small step out of many steps for getting Bitmain to the top). If you want I can always refresh your memory. Uses own chips? Delivered miners? Uses preorders? On time? Quality Issues? Refund Issues? Communication Ethics Size Which of these rating categories do you disagree with, on what company? What evidence can you provide to substantiate a rating change? |

I provide technical support for 2 companies - Bitmain and Canaan Creative. Neither of these contracts has any influence over company ratings.

I don't believe this statement is true Bitmain dropped 10 points when I became involved with them. Canaan Creative dropped 3 points. Spondoolies' rating has risen over the same period, even with the problems of under performing SP30 preorders. I don't have a proof, but I think you know some stuff about Bitmain ethics which you refrain from taking into account. I can't reveal what it is. [Moved to Skype] |

somewhere buried deep in this forum is the answer to my question. unfortunately, i cannot find the answer so i a reposting it. sorry
what are the hardware error thresholds for this miner? i am at 657 hardware errors for 17 hours of work, that is about .0038%. i think anything around .02 is a concern but i cannot remember. dose anyone know?
thanks
We'd just be making up arbitrary numbers to give you a threshold, but say 0.5%. Higher than average but still a negligible amount. If you can't find an obvious cause then you can and should still ignore it. |

bump! yes, i'm interested  I find it interesting it shows they have logged in today. But they have not posted during entire month of April if I read it right. They might just be looking for PMs, or have other personal accounts they sit on. But yes, would be nice to get an update. |

I don't believe you can separate your involvement to the threads only.
That's a reflection on you, not me. You can't eat your cake, and have it to. Why do you resist making your affiliation clear ?
1) Because you're imposing your own perceived inability to stay neutral in my situation, on me. It doesn't transfer. 2) There is now a link to the disclaimers post in my sig. 3) Was I wrong in my statements? 4) Is this relevant to an Sfards thread? No. Could you have PM'ed this rather than dragging this thread off topic from chip discussions? Yes. I think the more "unclear" Dogie's relationship is with Bitmain it makes it easier for Spondoolies to maintain a clear customer service lead. Seems to be a much better atmosphere here and actual answers seem to make out it to even the most disgruntled Spondoolies customers whereas Dogie's intervention has had the opposite effect in some cases. How is the new chip coming along Guy?
Bick, you are aware this isn't a SpondooliesTech thread, right? |

If the j/gh ratio is real, this is gonna be a game changer! it wont be. guarenteed thats at the lowest voltage/frequency, and probably for just the chip (doesnt include regulator loss, PSU loss, other power draws like a controller/fan) realisticlaly in a final product, this would probably range 0.28W-0.50W depending on settings (ie: similar to the Bitmain chip) Agreed, looks extremely similar power consumption to the S5's chip on sha256 mode. The scrypt mode looks more appealing, and we don't yet know what we'll be able to do in dual mining modes. If its anything like the gen 1 chips then I don't think many people will dual mine. Dogie, I think it's high time you'll put a disclaimer about your BitmainTech affiliation somewhere in your signature or personal text. I only speak on behalf of those companies within their own threads, am I not allowed to hold an opinion any more? Anyway, the lowest tested efficiency is extremely close to that of the BM1384 and BE300 tests. And as others have already said, the lowest efficiency point is not going to be the shipping stock efficiency. Hence people should remain realistic in their expectations. Do you disagree? |

with lowest BTC efficiency at 0.19J/GH Do you have an efficiency vs hash rate graph you can share? |

Still a pity when you see that the original thread was still visited a couple of hundred times in the past 24 hours alone...  So yes, it can be argued that BFL is "protected" by the locking of that thread... Unfortunately...  But what exactly were those people getting out of those 200 views? NSFW random images, unrelated memes and copy pasta. If the BFL thread was useful to them, it would have stayed. |

Has anyone in the U.S. paid duties on S5s shipped directly by Bitmain? Got a fedex bill assessing a 5.3% duty on what the duty code describes as "other plastic mat" even though the manifest lists bitcoin miner.
Give Fedex a call, that's doesn't sound correct. Maybe they misread the category code off the invoice. Has anyone figured out yet why S5's can randomly lock up and stop working?
Web Settings unavailable, and even whole BBB seems to be locked up as I can't SSH into the affected machine also. Seems to be happening almost randomly to 5 - 10% of machines. Sometimes it will happen to the same machine, sometimes to a unit once and never again. Lights on the control boards (Below BBB) has D2 green light solid, and D1 light blinking. No soft resets work, as able to get into the unit to try anything. I can either do a Hard reset on the BBB by pulling, and re-plugging the 4 pin data cable, or a hard power reset on the full machine. What is causing this? does not seem to be the chips or a hash blade locking up. Must be more then cgminer crashing as unable to SSH into machine. Could this be something linux watchdog could detect and reboot the machine? or a reset so may hours cron job? Would a newer firmware / cgminer version solve problem?
Has anyone else had this same problem at all?
HolyScott
Which firmware you on, what pool and what miner difficulty? Several possible things that can be causing it. |

IMHO there's only one "r" in Black Arrow's X1 Prospero. Unless you're making a doggy joke.
Anyone who's fooled into looking for more information about these scammers shouldn't get lost due to that typo.
Will be fixed on next refresh of guides. |

@Dogie, Great thread, but Spondoolies company site isnt valid
Fixed thanks, that's hopefully all of them. |

For web hosting purposes, the performance advantage appears to be the main benefit over traditional hard drives. I guess if the site is backed up regularly then a drive failure happening once or twice every decade might be a reasonable trade-off for a faster web experience. I've noticed that Dreamhost is now offering an SSD option for their VPS hosting service too which seems to have been well received.
There are at least daily backup images made. Hence when the last SSD deteriorated it was easy enough to load the backup image on. Only 8-12 hours of content was reverted. |

Do not bring them back. Us early folk must feel special.
Ah Bitpop you were too late they already went into full effect and everyone not napping got one That said still keeping mine it grew on me after all this time. True but it's never too late to freeze them again. Time to find a vulnerability muhahahahaha |

And to add to the above, the I/O capacity of an SSD is on an entirely different level to that of a mechanical hard drive. And that's exactly what non file hosting sites require.

Might want to add width tags to the images, they get a bit too big at high resolutions and it makes it hard to read. Ie: [img width=800px]www.imagehost.com/image.png[/img] |

One important point, as said in my above post, many are voting yes, simply taking into consideration that if found annoying it can be turned off. If a large majority of the active members of the community turns it off or blocks it, avatar campaigns won't be efficient anymore.
You can say that about signatures. Many already block them but the campaigns do fine. You also wont be able to tell how many users have them blocked or not but I think the vast majority of people will keep them on like they probably do with signatures. But that's because sigs can / are meant to hold useful information. Avatars are superfluous to our actual needs. |
