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

[alh]

I too worry about Spondoolies. I have zero idea on who was the "weak partner" in the merger with BTCS. After I invested some in buying BTCS stock (pink sheet), I found a video by them. The primary thrust that I took away was "Look at what a great deal we got on X (e.g. shelving, space, wiring, etc)". It didn't instill real confidence that they were really going to go anywhere. They seemed to be looking to put together a low-cost facility for mining. Maybe a little better thought out than what you see described in the various forums here, but not a lot better.

Just my opinion. I hope Spondoolies has just been itching to say something about a great new bit of gear, and will be able to do so soon. All the best to Guy and company!

I wonder if Zvi/software lead is still with the combined company?

Zvi co-founded his own company this year and is working for MS, so if he's still involved he's definitely a busy man.

what's MS? Microsoft?
Edit: nevermind, it's just Microsoft's TED team (maybe a consult or a summer gig), re Spondoolies it says-Present.

TED is a Microsoft team that does work to repair Microsoft reputation in the open sourse community. It is a new initiative. Mostly I work with startups in the  Microsoft Ventures lab.
I am involved in Spondoolies where my experience is needed (I am allowed by my Microsoft agreement) ,  because we are friends but I am not the main developer anymore. After implementing 2 years of miner SW one has to move on.

He may well still have some financial interests in the BTCS merger, even if he isn't employed full time there. We shouldn't be surprised if he doesn't respond.

TED is not a "Microsoft team". TED is "a global set of conferences run by the private non-profit Sapling Foundation, under the slogan "Ideas Worth Spreading".

Microsoft may have a TED team that develops presentations to make at TED conferences but Microsoft is not TED.

Not trying to spill any beans here, but I do think it's significant that Microsoft is hiring from the Bitcoin-space for its TED-team if that's the case.

From what i know about it i think it is a very bad idea with very good marketing.
It dont see how this can be profitable to anyone involved. I dont see consumer mining as a real market in the future. It was fun,  but IMO it's a dead horse.

But I dont follow on the forum anymore,  so pls don't post me here) And microsoft ted is not the lectures ted,  it's "technical evangalism domain"  or thomething like that)))

[Biodom]

Not to Zvi...

Typical Microsoft...took a word (TED) that everybody uses for something else (open conferences) and in familiar fashion "extended" it to something completely unrelated.

Curious minds want to know: approximate pricing?

I suspect this is one of those "if you have to ask, you cannot afford it" scenarios.

[Subw]

Nice! At last bitmain prices would go down, congrats to those who purchased at never-ever-ROI price. What is the MOQ for SP50 BTW?

[Gladimor]

What is the price per SP50?
