My problem now is that my script file gets deleted after reboot.. Anyone know where to put my files to make them persistent?

Everything in the www folder is not persistent between reboots.
Place your scripts with the configuration files in /etc, which are persistent.
You'll need to adapt the path to any included configuration files located in www (if you use any of the files coming with the firmware) .. or just define the settings/functions you need directly in your script.

@zvisha, or @Guy : always wondered why the name squid was chosen

Squid? Maybe this will help you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spondulix

I was referring to the naming of some parts of minergate

I don't get it. Where do you see squid in the minergate?

Great, works now, thanks for the info!

From working through the code for minergate: squid appears to be the central hub for communications

I like some of the error messages... they are BIG DRAMA... however, if someone could give me a hint to what they want to tell me...

both my SP20E & SP30 are STILL offline with seemingly dead MMC boards.

Multiple emails to @support have gone unanswered.

STILL waiting on the experimental SD card/firmware...

STILL waiting on ribbon cables...

STILL waiting on a reply that isnt 'karma-derp/mail@support'...

How hard were you running them?

[takagari]

DAMNIT!

I love your tech, announce the next gen!

If it was in the last few days then they will probably get back to you in the next 24 hours.... they are closed Thursday night to Sunday (CST) i think....

Has anyone opened the case of a SP3x to clean the dirt with a vacuum cleaner?

[edgar]

weeks, not days...

i opened my SP30, vacuum wouldnt budge the gunk, too tacky - high humidity.

toothbrush sorted em right out. still no hashing though >frowny face<

bit of a mission to get to the bottom board but why not eh.

has anyone discussed the 'reset button' on the MMC board anywhere?

Most who I have heard of use a recovery SD.   Would be interesting on reset button, not sure what you will get there.

recovery SD is step 1

If MMC board is faulty, boot SD is required

If recovery & boot fail then the board needs replacing as explained by Guy recently (ish)



i just received shipping notification of the ribbons & the SP30 MMC board, no mention of SP20E board...

>500 hours downtime for SP20E & SP30... over 21 days of stalled communications with @support.

I still want to know how you ran them. What speed/freq. Or was something else causing the defect/damage since you had 2 things burn out at the same time?

Hello all...

Just wanted to add a few thoughts. 

I'm a small time miner that is running 6 sp20e and 2 sp10's.  I got rid of all my antminers to stick with SP-Tech after the success and ease I experienced with my first SP10. 

Lately one of my SP20e's developed a problem that baffled support@SP-Tech enough that Zvi had to get involved.  He spent a good 40 minutes working with me to resolve the problem, with a great attitude and the patience to explain what he was doing at each stage and answering my questions.  I don't think there are too many other lead engineers that would spend that kind of time and effort on a small customer!

So, I'm even more impressed and extremely satisfied with Sp-Tech and just wanted to share my experience.  With support like this, I'm sure I'll find space for the "industrial" class miner out next.

Thanks Zvi and SP-Tech

Me too. I just started mining a few weeks ago, but have Antminers and Spondoolies.

The antminers are more quiet, yes, but the SP's IMO are just ... better. Heck I can reduce the fan to '4' in my office on 2 of them, hashing away at 1100GH/s@580watts and it is not overly loud. About the same as 2 S3's or C1's at full blast.

I have a new S5 coming this week but will probably just sell everything to buy more SP tech.

Now if only I could find a good deal on SP3x or some more cheap SP20's.

nowhere near extreme. around 65-75% of max.

failures occurred during brief power-cut.

the sp30/SP20E were ok with recovery SD the first few times.

SP30 then required boot SD / SP20E never did.

Both failed at the same time - where multiple recovery & boot do Nothing At All.
