Pardon my ignorance if this has been reviewed, but I couldn't find anything in the quickstart guide for the SP20.  Is the serial port used to chain units together, and if so is that currently working?

Cheers.

What a joke!

Joke for my was  Order #3096
 Placed on November 01, 2014 Total: $1,350.00   payd in euros 05.nov.14
Order was still not shipped 12.nov.

12. nov. Spondoolies offered  the same SP20 with a 40% discount November 18 shipping for $875.00 with shipping to me.
Now that was just a real joke.

After a long correspondence and waiting, however, they canceled my order Order -  Cancelled on November 25, 2014
I paid more euros and got 2x SP20  for $875.00 pcs.

Might be nice if we can start new threads for each product line. That way Sp3X users have one thread and Sp20 users can have another. Just a thought......

It is not pleasant, when the seller lowers the price with two months, from 1350 USD to 500 USD

Would you feel better if ASIC manufacturers increased the prices of their miners?

Lol

I'd like to limit the SP20 to run at 700W at the wall (so that 2 can run on a single 120V/15A circuit); any tips on how best to achieve that? I'm thinking that reducing the starting/max voltages will be sufficient, but I'd like to hear what others here are doing to run these at lower powers and higher efficiencies.

Ambient/intake temperature will be 25C or a few degrees higher. Noise is not an issue. I have a kill-a-watt meter so that power draw can be easily measured. Thanks in advance.

With 1 SP20 I've managed 730W at the wall (EVGA 1300 G2 Gold) @ 1290GH/s. Settings are 0.62V/0.67V (start/max) and 180W max for each of the 4 PSUs. 20% fan. Front temperature is 30C, back temperature is 70C, and the maximum ASIC temperature is 110C. After several hours, this seems stable. I can run 2 of these units on a single 120V/15A circuit which is as much power as it can sustain without tripping the breaker.

YMMV.

actually if they kept them frozen longer it would make the entire network seem more stable.

So dropping prices at a slower rate is fine.
On the other hand if miners never did a prepaid order that would also help a lot.

Lastly buying and spending coins would also help things out.

But that is a dream world that we all know does not yet exist.

Loop 1 has failed on one of my new S20s.  https://i.imgur.com/BaVcZud.jpg  Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot this myself, or is this something I have to deal with Spondoolies support directly for?  I don't actually see a link to contact support on their site, so I'm hoping they respond to an email.

re boot   then check.

 if bad

check all 4 cables..    see if loose.

then if all seem good.

 pull one good cable and plug it into the dead loop.

if the dead loop stays dead with every cable then  ask for rma.

Thank you for the reply Philip, I'll head to the datacenter tomorrow and check all the cables and whatnot.

+1. try lowered settings just so you can see if the unit is better if not pushed 100%

"i2c bad, BTW" means the DC2DC is not getting 12V power. Yes, I know it is not the most intuitive error message . Check your power.

I would love to take advantage of the 15 sp20 farm deal but thats like 35btc (with the 15 required psus) all to make around 5btc a month

after electricity.

And with diff going up 12% next month it will make even less ROI is like six months lol.
