Just wanted to say a big thank you to SP-T. Bitmain just shot themselves in the foot with their price increases. Keep being a responsible vendor, and I'll keep buying your products.
+1 I don't know what they are thinking coinbase exchange opened coins jump up for under 5 hours and they jumped prices from 340 to 370.+ shipping. Now that coins dropped to 270 I don't see them so fast to drop the price back down. They are too big to be so irresponsible with fast price changes like that. I understand both price jumps and drops but micro management of your products price is bad form. Another reason i have 9 sp20's in house and only 1 s-5. +1. wasnt the S5 down at almost $314 in batch 3? Jacking it up alongside the bitcoin price is just silly, and IMO makes SP-T look way better by having a fixed price that is a round number and hasn't shifted much recently. it was as low as 310. I spent 2 days having them fix my coupons so I could buy 3. They fixed them bitcointalk went down blockchain info went down. I was set to buy 3 and when all things lined up I would have got 3 for 930 - 145 in coupons = 795 + 96 to ship = 891. So I went to the site ready to buy they had btc at 217 coinbase had it at 232. It was Late I was tired . I said I will get it in the morning. Btc jumped to 245 over night they raised price to 340. i said f it. btc jumped to 320 last night they raised the s-5 to 370. I really said f it. I hosted one from lee in china for 390 but I used paypal got an 8 discount from paypal to make the price 382 with psu supplied and hosting paid up until feb 20. My bill to paypal is due on march 12th. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=934581.0 he is still asking 340 so he is better then bitmaintech! |

Is there any news on PickAxe? I really like the SP20 and SP31 and am very interested in acquiring more efficient mining gear soon.
I suppose more efficient gear probably won't be out until Spring 2015.
Patient my friend. |

I run CGMiner 4.7.0 Anyone else experienced the same thing ? Thanks this is a form of recovery from some hw errors. Nothing to warry about sinse this is not corolated in any way with machine longlivity or performance. The effect on hashrate is under 1% even if you have cgminer restart every hour. |

Allright thanks for the answer. Appreciated. So i got an SP20E that is a bit more "sensible". I will take it this way ;-) EDIT: the unit has indeed a very few HW Error, got 2 in the last 18 hours (CGMiner) I think the stats got reset for every CGMiner restart tho. EDIT: Second unit just did the same thing. A first in the last 24 hours. |

Thanks what version of firmware is it running on? same has maverick 2.6.1 i got much less restarts recorded on 2.6.7 and 2.6.9 vs 2.6.1 (this week vs prior week), but beware that 2.6.9 has been downgraded to a test version. |

and soon bitfury gonna start replacing their current boards whit the new 0.2W/G
Source? I don't believe any mining manufacturer currently has 0.2W/GH gear, and suspect they are still a couple months away (Spring 2015) from producing gear that efficient in quantity. When someone does start producing gear that efficient in quantity, the difficulty will start shooting up again. |

BTC price is already in a depression, and in my opinion difficulty has to halve before we turn around. Difficulty did drop ~50% in October-November of 2011. I prefer difficulty to drop at current prices, of course  regarding mining-it payed to be late in ordering in the last year or so. |
