[ANN] Spondoolies-Tech - carrier grade, data center ready mining rigs

Wow - the bundle was sold out in less then 12 hours since we launched!

Thank you for your confidence in us, we are (and will) work our butts off to justify it.

So I wanted to order from you (I'm in Israel) but it says you do not ship to Israel.. and now I missed the 1st batch.

Could you explain why can't I order to Israel ??

Because once you find out the miner cant meet the specs... they can be sued?

mishax1, seriouscoin,
We apologize for not being able to ship to Israel yet. Our systems are not setup to handle VAT payments and we are searching for a local distributor to facilitate sales.

As soon as we find the right distributor we will announce them.

The PSU is 1050 W/h rated by the manufacturer, However, it's able to pull up to about 1300 W/h at the wall.
It's actually the system limiting factor. We're experimenting with a larger PSU as well.

That means this PSU is terribly inefficient, 80% at best.

PSU is actually >92%:

Yes, but at 50% load.
Anyway, I'm not trying to start a fight here.
You product is definitely a mastercraft of engineering, kudos for that !

So Israel (your local market) is the only market that suffers from this ?

What about manual payment process ? or can I just stop by your offices in Keriat Gat ?

$5,360.00 .. including shipping for $365.00...DHL...7-10 days...I guess...

Edit:  Shipping to Florida, USA...

Ouch. I can buy 8.7BTC right now (Wednesday, March 19, 2014 at 4:24:16 PM UTC) for $5360 from Coinbase. Do you think this miner will generate more than 8.7? I don't.

Me either...I am not buying ...not NOW...blind trust can be very expensive...

Compared with a 1TH (possibly clocking a bit higher?) Antminer at 5.7BTC, this product actually fits into a certain niche for investors who use server racks and are willing to pay a 10-20% premum to run the same hashrate in 2 rack units as bitmain would require 12 rack units for

Exactly. The density is insane, and I don't think "1.25U" does it justice. Its 5.5cm thick and 1100W, my MOUSE is thicker than that.

This is why i'm very skeptical of the specs and longevity

Question for those who paid with BTC,

do you get an email order confirmation (with order number) after the BTC is sent? What happens if you dont send BTC within the 15min limit or not sending BTC at all? Do you still receive an email?

I want to know if email is sent only once they confirm payment.

We using BitPay, and once the BTC confirmations are clear, you will get an order confirmation email.

So you're saying if i receive the confirmation email, my payment is completed?

Does Bitpay also email me a confirmation email?

No, it was said its no longer available for March, only April now.

When should those test units be online  and reviewed?

[jelin1984]

April when middle end of April?

[SyRenity]

Sorry, but we will sell to Israeli market only once we find a local distributor.

That said, you are welcome to visit us in Kiryat-Gat and meet the team - just ping us before at: info@spondoolies-tech.com

[jelin1984]

That's was quick

Mine hopefully on Saturday midnight GMT

What's your refund policy?

And also how much warranty?

I echo these questions, but I haven't seen a response yet. Anything on these, SyRenity?

Sorry, missed these ones during the launch rush.

The full TOS is here:
http://www.spondoolies-tech.com/pages/terms-of-sale

In a nutshell:

• All sales are final, we guarantee to deliver the ASIC units on time and per the announced specifications (we bound on this to our VC investors as well!).
• DOA - 14 days within purchase, via RMA procedure defined in TOS.
• Warranty - 90 days limited, assuming no modding was done to the units.

I actually had my finger on the trigger to buy one until I saw this.

Unfortunately, I can't remember a time when the non-refundable / limited warranty approach hasn't burned a customer...so as shiny and well-engineered as your product may be, I'll sit on the sidelines until you guys have established yourselves. Nothing against Spondoolies, of course, but my tolerance for risk is quite a bit lower than it once was.

Wow, talk about buyer beware.  That's an extremely limited warranty period.

If it croaks after 3 months, sucks to be you!

[Guy Corem]

That's an extremely limited warranty period.

We'll review our policy compare to the acceptable in the market and might revise it.

I think you better do...Widely accepted in the electronics/computer industry are MINIMUM 1 year warranty policies...Correct me if I am wrong...
