Why not use an affiliate link if you think you deserve to be paid for a free Guide?
I did. Then why are you complaining? Because you haven't earned enough? Because they refuse to pay it out. Cash it out.
I should. Considering the low BTC price. In all seriousness, please do. |

I don't deserve any money for a review, I do deserve to be paid affiliate earnings just like you though.
Why not use an affiliate link if you think you deserve to be paid for a free Guide? I did. So you're honestly saying you haven't received a penny in affiliate earnings or other commissions for your signature or the group buy?
You lack reading comprehension. Read my post again. I said I haven't received any money in the name of SP-Tech. Of course I received money (actually I haven't got any cash in hand up to date) for my affiliate link. That's why it is called an affiliate link. The money are still in the affiliate account.
Cash it out. |

You should post in this thread OP too, because some people don't bother to read everything. This should be fair for everyone. By omitting this, you actually lie to everyone that is reading this thread.
Done: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=456691.msg5035208#msg5035208So after you brag that you offer this service for free you also think that you deserve "tons" of money from the companies that you are reviewing. Ok.
I don't deserve any money for a review, I do deserve to be paid affiliate earnings just like you though. Also please note that I haven't received any money in the name of SP-Tech. I couldn't say that about you and your boss BITMAIN.
So you're honestly saying you haven't received a penny in affiliate earnings or other commissions for your signature or the group buy? |

You need to look at your actions first before declaring that I'm toxic - you're a grown ass man acting like a bully and a toddler at the same time.
I'm surprised you've taken your giant ass affiliate link signature off, did sales go down?
http://xkcd.com/37/That would certainly increase advertising space  |

It's the other way around. Without dogie there wouldn't be me.
What does that even mean ^_^ Anyone reading this please know that dogies is getting paid by BITMAIN. Yes I like to flame.
They are well aware that I get paid to do technical support as I publish it very openly. That's why you have so many fans. Please excuse me while I go vomit. It's the only reaction that I get from your words.
You seem to be vomiting a lot recently, maybe you should go see your doctor. For newbies reading this: Please note that dogies is getting paid tons of $$$ for pimping them up. DO NOT believe the lies that dogies vomits here.
Paid owed 'tons' of $$$ by Spondoolies you mean? DO NOT be fooled by him trying to pinpoint it towards me for having a SP-Tech affiliate link.
Dude you practically work for Spondoolies, you've been viciously attacking anyone who doesn't worship them from day one while receiving $100,000s in sales for them. This is not about me supporting SP-Tech. It's about the lies and the vomit that is around dogie as a person. Feel free to NOT believe me. Just check his history. Do you know me? |

@Dogie - Do they plan on bringing the Bitmain site back online soon or is the holiday still going on for them. Thanks
https://bitmaintech.com/ works for me? @Dogie - I mean in the sense that they will have miners back up for sale S5 for example. Thanks No concrete plans yet, should get some movement on Monday. |

In real life there are people I just have to glance at to know that this person is not worth arguing with. On a forum you assume that people are otherwise reasonable. Defend yourself, by all means. But when you've hit the post button think of that weird guy next to the slot machine in Vegas. Don't let it linger.
You can read back the history of RoadStress in this thread - it doesn't matter what Spondoolies' position is, as long as they're not first then everything is a huge scam and conspiracy against that company. Spondoolies have been using him as their attack dog so they don't have to. I've read a couple of them, and other conspiracy theorists who can't wrap their mind around the fact that you're an enthusiast doing what enthusiasts do. The "Bitcoin Community" is not a neighbourhood I would want to live in, that's for sure. Without you there would be no Dogie. It's not a position given to you. It's a position you created. You can do what you want with it. Haters can go... .. flame somewhere else. Indeed. Apparently I'm such a bad person for doing so much work for the community, for free, yet those calling me out are the ones who ONLY seek to profit from the community without giving a thing back. "for free" is a stretch you had been compensated before and getting free gear doesn't fall under the "for free" It doesn't when I'm providing $1000s of manhours in return for $400 hardware. Big or small, each miner gets the same treatment. And specifically I'm talking about this thread. There's no incentive for me to run it, especially with the sheer amount of abuse I get for it regardless of scores. Too high, too low, scammer, fraud, lier blah blah blah - its not fun. I don't get paid to be a punching bag. |

September 2014 - Requirement that business model must be able to support preorders and not just the promise of preorders first utilised in September 2014 against BFL. May be earlier instances. December 2014 - Transitional arrangements implemented on TWO companies. Spondoolies still claims its unfair and used to target them only  . Thanks for making things so clear now! So it only took you 3 months to add and use the pre-order description. At first I wondered why wasn't this included in the 10/21/2014 Changelog, but I figured that you were busy maxing out Bitmain's (the boss that is paying you big $) communication while trying to find a way to prepare the coronation of Bitmain (again the boss that is issuing commands and you promptly execute), which took place on the 12/17/2014 Changelog where you add and use the pre-order description in order to limit SP-Tech's score while maxing yet another stat, the hardware issues, for Bitmain (the boss). I must congratulate you for your december Changelog. 2 hits with one bullet! Here are the chronological Changelog quotes in case people are lazy to search for them: - Bitmain Hardware Issues down from 'No' to 'Minor' (10 to 6).
- Bitmain Commuication up from 'Good' to 'Great' (7 to 10).
- SpondooliesTech Preorders up from 'Yes' to 'Mix' (1 to 8]. *Although SpondooliesTech is currently selling out of hand, they have not yet demonstrated that their business model can support this into the next generation. On the announcement of next gen preorders, this rating will return to 'Yes'. On the announcement of next gen in hand / batch sales, this rating will increase to 'Batch' or 'No'.
- Bitmain Hardware Issues up from 'Minor' to 'No' (6 to 10).
That's for confirming yet again that you act as Spondoolies' attack dog. You refuse to listen to reasoning and assume everything is some huge vendetta and conspiracy against Spondoolies. I'm surprised you've taken your giant ass affiliate link signature off, did sales go down? Is that my fault as well? |

Dogie, the amount of BS you're capable of producing is simply amazing.
I came to the conclusion, probably a bit too late, that nothing good will come from further interacting with you. I see you now as a negative force in this industry.
I don't intend to post anymore in your threads and I request that you won't post in ours. I intend to delete your posts without warning.
Because you didn't get the score you wanted? Really? When I'm weighting the pros and cons of further interacting with you, the cons wins big time. Look at your contribution and "legacy" in the Hardware subsection. The last three months thought me that you're mainly concerned with self promoting your threads. The hardware reviews are a shining example. Even now you call them spam. I wrote it before, your actions sucks the life out of hardware. Your actions surrounding the manufacturers's poll are another shining example. I don't intend to reply further. Do you really think I care about my threads being on front page? Don't you think I would bump them if that was the case? 90% of them sit off the 1st page at any one time which is exactly how it should be. When people have a question they post, I reply, the threads drop off again. Why is this okay? Because they're useful and so they gain traffic from off the forums. Yes that's right, I bring traffic and new members into /Hardware, that's my contribution. At the same time, lets consider what your contribution to /Hardware has been shall we? Paying people to spam 15 threads onto the front page to try and crowd out the competition, because you know that you can't compete otherwise? Paying someone to start 5 threads on the same topic with loaded questions towards Spondoolies, while trying to maintain the illusion that its a neutral, organic and 3rd party survey. All the while, in pursuit of an ulterior motive that you still haven't told the public about. Interacting with me... each time I update this rating you spend 3-4 days berating me about how much of an idiot I am, how much I need a life, how much of a scammer, fraud and lier I am. Then after a few days you get tired of trying to bully me into changing your rating so you either say sorry or storm off in a huff. Then you apologise on Skype and try and try go back to business as usual. You need to look at your actions first before declaring that I'm toxic - you're a grown ass man acting like a bully and a toddler at the same time. |

I'm not on trial here, nor do I have to prove my 'innocence'. Even so, I checked and the oldest version dropbox archived is 9th Jan 2015. There is an internet archive version here from October which shows the only description was: Preorders?
Preorders are a recipe for disaster and puts all the risk on the buyer. As I said, I added more descriptive text. You are not on a trial, but when you run a public service like a "Manufacturer Guide" it is fair for everyone to know all the details behind it. Otherwise you can keep the Guide for yourself. So let me get this straight. You run this Guide since February 2014 and only in December you decided to " add more descriptive text" surprisingly in the same time where this descriptive text would make the difference between two top manufacturers, one of them being the one that pays you big $$$. I need a minute to puke! What you need is to spend a minute to read what actually happened, you seem to have missed all the facts. February 2014 - guide started. July 2014 - Guide changed from single letter ratings to individual criteria and a total numerical score. September 2014 - Requirement that business model must be able to support preorders and not just the promise of preorders first utilised in September 2014 against BFL. May be earlier instances. December 2014 - Transitional arrangements implemented on TWO companies. Spondoolies still claims its unfair and used to target them only . February 2014 - Spondoolies claims that these arrangements were never noted before December and were created solely for them. Yup yup yup. And while we're on the subject of money, Spondoolies paid owes more money than Bitmain ever has. Next? |

Yes, its what I recommend. I understand with these fans an S5 will run quiet and cool. Will the stock fans run equally cool albeit louder? Stock will likely still be cooler as its just a crazy amount of cooling. The advantage of SP120s is they are much quieter while still keeping the S5 in an acceptable temp range at most ambient temps. So would you use 2 SP120's in a push-pull? I currently run an s5 with 2 Noctua NF-F12 iPPC 3000rpm fans in push-pull, would the SP120s provide better performance? That's my recommendation. NF-F12s will run cooler but will be quite a bit louder. |

I like the miner but it eats up too much electricity 2kw for only 256MHZ that's crazy power use
Seems to auto clock itself based on temps to always achieve hashrate, so the higher the ambient the higher the power consumption. Mine is about 2500W @ 35C. |

At the current BTC value selling miners is probably more profitable than mining. They are selling to someone. Just not us.
Could be a very astute observation. If any of the state actors would suddenly want to mine bitcoin, they will sweep the slate clean and there will be almost no miners for sale. That would be hard to do with all your sales and engineering staff on holiday.
I think the writing was on the wall when (i) bitmain pulled their "collaboration" with syscooling on a watercooled S5, but then again, that coincided with a dip in BTC value to fiat, and (ii) bitmain started offering large batches of gear. Saying that, the S5 is clearly a winner for bitmain in many aspects (should be for the home miner too), but the hassle they have to go through to service the home miners' market while they also have mining interests (not to mention the large buyers), is seemingly the proverbial last nail in the coffin. I honestly believed they'd have a new product offering straight after the Chinese new year holidays (having pulled the S5), but seeing nothing is up yet on their site, I've got that feeling of the begining of the end ....
Bitmain never had any agreement to do anything with syscooling over S5s, it was only unofficial on syscooling's part. 'Bitmain's' large batches of gear were often being sold on behalf of other customers. |

Thanks Dogie! First-time miner here and got up and running in minutes using your guide. Only delay was a thin plastic coating on my paperclip keeping it from working on the PSU. Fixed it with a metal clip from my RC cars
No problem, damn those acrylic'ed paper clips |
