I know, no rush as i still need to get rid of antminers In my eyes there are basically two manufactures making hardware. Bitmain and Spondoolie. I've owned KNC, Avalon, Butterfly and others, but right now in the game I think are just these two. I know Bitmain will eventually come out with more home mining solutions for a little while more, but it sounds like Spondoolie is only out to cater bulk orders and more commercial going forward. Is that safe to say? I think the SP20 was just a field test to see how it would work out. I think the only form factors we will be seeing from Spondoolie will be rack mountable only. What this industry needs to do is follow what is working, the computer industry. Make a miner using a 2U form factor (or larger) and have multiple blades in it where you can easily remove/replace/upgrade. Who wants to keep buying these monster machines when all you need is an upgraded blade. Would keep costs down, secure the company customer loyalty since their blades will only fit in their cases. Of course new software and controller boards need to be made to be able to handle many different configurations. Isn't everyone tired of buying whole entire rigs when you really don't need to? I can just imagine myself walking into the data center, powering off my 10TH 2U Spondoolie rig, remove one of the 1TH blades and insert the new 3TH blade that just came out on the market. Can basically go from 10TH to 30TH by just swapping some blades. We don't need to keep shipping these monster 2U's all over the world. They take up to much space and there has to be some good R&D out there to make something like this happen, no? This also would give everyone a price point they can afford. Not everyone can't buy the latest and greatest new stuff that comes out. And course power draw would be calculated on what blades you have in the box. Maybe three PSU's. 2 to handle 30TH and one for backup.

What I said was that our initial form factor for the 3rd gen will be suitable for bulk buyers. Please read my last messages. This is fine, as long as that grade is not required at a truck load to buy. I could buy a single 16kw unit. no issue, would like to buy from you and not from a third party, unless you plan to have authorized resellers? We'll probably sell single units as well. It's not a promise though. I believe that a much better model for a small buyers will be to buy some small percentage of a shared mine. good I need something (or a legit co-op non profit preferred or small data mine operation with a couple of guys) to string out my equip deprecation of 25% off in taxes due in 2016 and 2017 (5 years) would help the hit I took in equip purchases vs coin made with this biz option...(have paid no taxes so far...same looks likely for 2015 in my equip to btc/ltc) would be nice to get that last bit those last 2 years to round it off to all my equp being 25% off with no taxes due (a balance between equip and coin made etc) now if btc/ltc were to go to 1k a coin i'd just pay my taxes due and smile....but looking at options for those who 1) want to still mine hobby or otherwise or 2) are in my boat and the difficulty vs miners (home or otherwise) I can afford are drying up It is unlikely that 'cloud mining' would apply to the above (IRS imho would consider that an "investment') with the home miner setup and home biz (the IRS likes my pics) this has not been an issue any options feel free to post here or anyone can pm me.....but I ASSUME again..that options other then 'cloud hosting' and 'home mining' are being considered by folk anyway fishing about for info (by the by a bank error and filing with SEC in USA forced me to 'file as a legit biz' you can pm me for details I realize this only applies to those of us in my position or that chose to be legal miners in USA ....on a side note...it seems to have worked out well for me due to btc/ltc's fall in value etc...but I would prefer a rebound in prices like us all)

Can you say anything about the expected development time for gen 3? Are we looking at weeks, months, years?
Few months. We have two parallel efforts, each with different risk / reward and timeframe. It's not around the corner, we need to squeeze the most from 28, since we don't do FinFET yet. Do you know at this point whether you will be going with small, medium, or large chips? (small being <2W)

I really tried. What we currently offer is SP31 and cloud mining through our partnership with Genesis Mining. At current rate, we'll probably sell all our SP31 within 1-2 months. Our next gen, later this year won't be suitable for home mining. I hope my reply answer your questions. If not, I'm sorry.

The party is over folks. Spondoolie said it themselves they are only interested in large/bulk/farm type business model going forward. We the consumer's were a big part in making that happen.

Can you reply in 1-2 lines what you want / need ? sorry trying to defend self from the pm's saying why the hell am i paying taxes on mining and have it as a biz what (if you can tell me) are your options different in the future (if any) from just plain 'cloud mining' per say.....as I probably did not say well above...i need equip i can afford that kinda/sorta in some manner looks like it would make sense to use with some guys in a co-op non profit venture or small group of miners sharing equip or something like that to round out my miner biz to get the tax breaks of 25% off my equip in the 5 year period ...more or less..I can't just toss money at the problem it has to make at least close to a profit vs equip and coin mined.....(again straight cloud mining is probably considered investing ..in a mine so to speak vs working a mine so to speak) so again besides cloud mining or just plain having to buy a 20k or more miner now..and/or no more home miners of any note what if any other options by spondoolies or others may be being considered at this point in time ...seems to me like a big gap between full out cloud miner investments vs home miner option .....looking for smaller group miner and or equip options co-op or shared equip or otherwise.....but on a SMALL scale ...(still the home miner budget don' t ya know) it could be that this is no longer possible and I will have to wrap up my equip depreciation and investment as such 2 years early w/o the benifit of showing revenue the IRS would accept (ie mining etc) ...but I ran a biz game server/bbs as a co-op years ago so fishing for options that anyone may have heard of or coinsidering to fill this gap i see or home miner vs cloud mining vs no other options Searing, I tried. I really tried. What we currently offer is SP31 and cloud mining through our partnership with Genesis Mining. At current rate, we'll probably sell all our SP31 within 1-2 months. Our next gen, later this year won't suitable for home miner. I hope it answer your questions. If not, I'm sorry. yeah what i figured thanks anyway...trying to find someone small enough to afford this vs have a decent rep is gonna be hard probably will just have to pool $$$ with folk in my boat and /or geographic area (legal miner) where it makes sense from an equip deprecation sense and such and/or some of us folk who still want to home mine as a hobby. or in my case it still makes a bit of sense to try to mine equip..ie pooled resources...where the 'group" has actual access in some manner to the equip at hand ...is probably the only way it would fly with the IRS and usa tax man....also co-hosting at these prices with the added equip price on top of such .is not gonna be worth it either imho (short term) anyway just like the old days of the game sever/bbs we made as a biz and very large...will just have to beat the bushes for some folk in this area and in my boat where some equip still makes sense and/or folk who want to home mine and share equip/resources..it will also depend if any future asic equip makes any kind of sense even in this manner price/hash so to speak...a non-profit co-op would make the most sense ..but is a bitch to organize ...deja vu all over again thanks sorry about the confusion....but it still may pay for me to mine at a modest level at the next generation of chips ...if home miners were available and if i could get such a group of like minded folk together....but probably a long shot and.i understand for all others of any note ..you either go big ..get into cloud hashing or just trading for coin or are already are out of home mining...again myself if you made a next gen unit with a bit more pop at the right price i probably could still pull this off in my home miner biz format ....if something changes and i find out that cloud hosting thru you guys may work tax/irs/equip depr wise I'll let you know ... Yup,another ASIC company goin for the big guys only Hope you make alot of money............... Shoulda forked BTC to X11,13,15 or whatever when we had the chance late 2012 well truthfully made a lot more money as a legal biz getting equip deprecation from 2013 to 2015 then I made holding coin...(a sad state of the price of btc/ltc etc) but then again I'm still in the black...just looking for an angle to squeak out some more as long as prices are in the tank (and hell may stay this way for a couple years going sideways) w/o this biz aspect (forced into 20/20 hindsight) I would be probably 25% or more in the red so hey ....wtf ......will dig around some more maybe I'll figure something out..or miracle of miracles frigging BTC/LTC price was to triple ...i'd care a lot less one way or another

Also is possible bay SP-31 without PSU 1) I never called it SP100 or anything else but "3rd gen initial form factor" 2) It's still far from knowing the exact quantities and bundles we'll sell it 3) We'll sell it with Rack mount and PSUs 4) We can't sell the SP31 without the PSUs 5) I'm guessing that you have your own immersion cooling effort. We can sell you 2nd gen ASICs (RockerBox) along with the SP3x production files. The order will need to be substantial and we'll have limited ability to support your effort. Contact sales@

Yup,another ASIC company goin for the big guys only Hope you make alot of money............... Shoulda forked BTC to X11,13,15 or whatever when we had the chance late 2012 I think that there is a difference still. As I wrote, unfortunately, this is where BTC mining is going. I don't like it as well.

... @SPT - 35 USD to ship an SD card??
and if i were to pay using the 150USD coupon you will invalidate the remaining 115 USD??
Please keep it!
As to the burnt connectors, they were not 'officially reported' but extensively discussed on the forum late last year.
Can i use the 150 USD for replacing these? I assume they wont cost that much.
Although the shipping may make it a complete waste of time if 35USD for a 1g SD card is anything to go by...
We'll upload an experimental version of the recovery SD, you'll be able to test it yourself. I'll check about the connectors. You'll need to do the modifications yourself. The shipping will be probably more expensive.

I don't like it as well. Here's hoping BTC hits $50 !!! If BTC is mined centrally only,then it's no better than the dollar.It'll be manipulated to death by those in control of the network,forcing higher & higher fees & other problems BTW,cloud mining only makes BTC for those hosting the miners...ever!!! Thanks for being honest Spoondolies!!! Best of luck to those mining at home still.

Thanks for being honest Spoondolies!!! Best of luck to those mining at home still. Your bitcoins will still be your bitcoins even if the mining is centralized. While you are right about the cloud mining you forgot what is SP-Tech all about. They always cared for their customers and I am sure that they will still be a viable option for "home miners" like us. I do believe that if they will offer some sort of cloud mining it will be totally different than what we had until now and customers will make money.

Will home miners forced out still use Bitcoin or would they start following some alt they could mine?
If it all comes down to a few big miners, why keep using the coin?
|
Transaction fees go to the pools and the pools decide to pay them to the miners. Anything else, including off-chain solutions are stealing and not the way Bitcoin was intended to function. Make the block size set by the pool. Pool = miners and they get the choice.
