Did anybody tried to run SP30 more energy efficiently? If yes, care to share the settings and what the energy consumption/hashing speed will result?
I have my units in hosting, so cannot play with settings as easily as with SP20 at home.

I tried a quick test and I used start voltage .60 and set the max PSUs to 750W and it worked just fine. Can't remember stats because as I said it was just a quick test. Maybe I will have more spare time in week-end.

I will go over requests next week. I recomend using voltage only (set start and max to same values or give 5 millivolt between them)  till you get the performance you want. If you set too low system will not start. Keep the psu wattage as is since it will never be reached if you set max volts low enough.

Whats new in 2.6.1 zvi?

A few that I tried, the green was the optimal until the recent price drop, now they are all offline, UK electric rates kill any chance of profit

aclass and tupsu Thanks, that fixed it.

Thanks, this will give me some options.

Stability. Recomended.

Then give up on the max wattage settings, and make the max watt appear on the left side of the voltage settings, calculated on the voltage that we set!

please elaborate a bit, i totally missed this westhash/nicehash/paycoin opportunity

Edgar,
You don't follow our thread closely enough ...

Edit: In the first few days, the return was 30X over BTC, afterwards 9X and it settled at about 3X up until the end of the POW period

thanks.

you're right i really dont spend much time on the forum anymore. just a quick look in to see any urgent updates but mostly im only here when stuff goes wrong.

a bit gutted i missed the opportunity to +ROI on my SPTech rigs, as im still MONTHS away from reaching BE point.

and i'll be shutting down my ants in the next week or two leaving me with just 1x SP30 & 2x SP20/E

im looking fwd to the lowered decibels but not enjoying the lower income at all!!

but i cant justify buying more hardware now and my BTC buy in price was double digits so i dont feel like buying more BTC no matter how low some people say it is. triple figs just aint 'that' low to me.

oh to see >500 again...

I missed the paycoin gig also, so you aren't the only one. It looked a bit confusing to me, but for those returns people were getting I would have figured it out somehow. That's about what everyone is doing right now, powering off their units. I doubt anyone would even be interested in buying a couple 2 SP10's. What to do with them. Come on bitcoin, give us a break and another long ride, one more time before you die into the black hole.

Let us know what you want to see in Spondoolies-Tech's firmware… We are open to suggestions! What do you want to see implemented in our next firmware releases? We want to hear from you, although we cannot make any promises to implement any suggestion, we will try out best to make it work. Post suggestions here in the thread…

I would like to see target temperature support whereby the firmware constantly adjusts fanspeed to the lowest possible RPM that will maintain the device just below a target temperature. Where cgminer drivers have had the ability to adjust fanspeed continuously, I have coded up this feature into them but the fanspeed control is not within cgminer on sp gear.

I'm all for that.  And if you're going to go there, please include the fan speed in the output API.

[lulu2003]

could it be possible to gather the firmware suggestions in a list and edit that list and extend?

hope I did not miss some:


- true fan speed control by target temp
- scheduling certains mining speeds(voltages)
- individual voltage limits as right now for the back chips
- Timezone "bug"? first page graphs are always UTC?
- enable API in own subnet/net by web interface
- include fan speed in API datasets
- change host name in web interface
- other pool options than failover only
- Graphs on the first webguy page, there should be a button to disable some/all of them.
- Poll page could be managed on the front page with up&down buttons on each pool
- GUI switches to turn off SSH would also be a good thing, plus for advanced users some sort of iptables in the OS for security.
- show ASIC Stats

could you/someone else do?! I have no clue how to do without google account.

I made one, but if I open up editing, won't the trolls of the world just screw it up?

[lulu2003]

agree, I doubt it is possible to let anonymous users add new rows but not edit others...?!

VERY IMPORTANT for anyone with variable electric rate (peak and offpeak hrs)

Better yet, an stop and start scheduling for anyone who can only mine at night (offpeak)

My SP30's hosted at SPTech is reported by slush to have a 24-hr hashrate of 3.007 Th/s. 
This seems totally wrong seems the advertised speed is at 4.5 Th/s for SP30's.

I have SP31's running somewhere else but that's being reported at 4.7 Th/s (advertized speed 4.8 Th/s)

Is anyone else's SP30's running a 24-hr hashrate of 3.0 Th/s?

It's been a long time since I've heard anyone say anything good about slush's pool.  Everything I heard recently is you want to avoid it, because it has a flawed payout mechanism.

Maybe try Kano's ckpool?

Send them an e-mail to check your miner. Problem solved.

hi
my sp31 runs with 4,77 TH/S last 10 weeks
