"Our goal is to get to 0.05 W/GHs, 0.03 $/GHs miners by mid 2015 and power more than 30% of the bitcoin network," Corem explained, adding that he believes these figures will help the company match its rival firms in the US and China.

All of that was predicated on massive availability of the 16 and 14 nm fabs being available in mass amounts by early this year, that's all been pushed back at least 6 months if not more with the fab problems earlier this year.

All I know is I don't know what to believe right now.  Better safe than sorry!!!  I registered for one unit twice.  I intended to register for 2 units one time but accidentally clicked submit before I could change the quantity from 1 to 2.  We'll see what happens.  If I'm part of some elaborate joke, so be it.  If not, and my name gets drawn, Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Don't worry, we'll treat it as one entry for 2 units.

Well I hope they at least send those who fell for the April fools joke a 'spondoolies mug' or 'decal' or something....ah 5 min of JOY dashed on the rocks of reality...such is my lot in life....took me 5 min of how to actually frigging get 5K together before I got around to actually read and ponder the post.  I was overcome with the idea of the equiv of GPU mining coming back...so to speak...ah well....was a good few minutes till the rational part of my brain kicked in reading the post (100TH at 1000w??? wtf)  etc....then of course the DAMN IT...its April 1st realization.....was a sudden and dramatic 'splat' ...I hate reality as a concept for feeling 'warm and fuzzy' it is overblown imho

good one thou...I posted this in KNC forums...hopefully ...you will get some "interesting' panic attack stories from your competitors....

I wait with dread the 'email' from you guys that probably will look like this



sheesh

[Wings1987]

Yeah I had to register just so I can see the email.....should be fun.




I registered for 26 under different names. I am sure they can accommodate me.

[Guy Corem]

The NUC power consumption is about 20-30 Watt
The PSU (included) is 65 Watt

I'll check the registration xls later, but if this is true we'll disqualify you.
Only 2 SAT10 per customer per month.

[Guy Corem]

After two years in the making, I'm happy to announce that we completed the development of a very efficient SAT solver for SHA256.
On Intel D54250WYK NUC with 16 GB of RAM, we're getting about 100 TH/s.

With great power comes great responsibility.

In order to protect the Bitcoin ecosystem, we'll sell each month only 1,000 SAT10 units.
The initial cost will be $5,000 per unit. We'll sell up to two units per customer each month.

Each SAT10 unit will contain the following:

- Intel D54250WYK NUC
- 16 GB Kingston SODIMM
- 1TB WD Magnetic 2.5" HDD (we'll provide SSD upgrade option)
- Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260 card
- Spondoolies's Propriety mini PCI Express card
- Pre-configured Ubuntu 14.04 with cgminer, running as full node

The mini PCI Express card contains proprietary essentials close elements of the SAT Solver.

We did a large scale testing of our initial batch last week but beside testing and development, we don't intend to run our own farm.

If you're interested to participate in a draw to buy the first batch (shipping immediately from stock), please fill the following form:
http://www.spondoolies-tech.com/pages/sat10-draw

Thanks,
Guy

Last week testing can be seen here:



We used a sliding window of 300 SAT10 every few hours.

We'll upgrade next month batch to Intel NUC NUC5i5RYH model. The CPU in the NUC NUC5i5RYH is 5th generation Intel® Core™ i5-5250U processor (a Broadwell micro-architecture, 14 nm)

We'll pre-load the machine with Popcorn time for Linux (64 bit), so the SAT10 may be used as a very capable HTPC while triple functioning as full node and capable miner.

We'll sell an optional SSD upgrade and an optional AirMouse

We're testing various Steam games for Linux to see if it will make sense to sell an optional Gamepad as well.

Guy

And of course, a fifth usage (beside Miner, Full node, HTPC and Games Console) will be for video conference, with an optional webcam

The draw registration for this month batch will be closed in few hours: http://www.spondoolies-tech.com/pages/sat10-draw

Guy

Unfortunately, Intel's NUC doesn't support CEC. We're testing Pulse Eight's add-on intenal card: https://www.pulse-eight.com/p/117/internal-hdmi-cec-adapter
If the testing will be successful, we'll sell the adapter as an option.
We want to allow the best possible HTPC experience while mining and protecting the Blockchain.

Guy

Another shameless bump.

[Guy Corem]

The NUC power consumption is about 20-30 Watt
The PSU (included) is 65 Watt

As I explained next month batch will be a Broadwell NUC.

[mavericklm]

if i bump the ram to 32mb. will i get 200th/s?

The NUC maximum memory size is 16 GB
No, the SAT solver memory requirement is exponential.
I believe we found the sweet spot.

I need to change the thread name to "home mining" gear.
But then people won't find it. Dilemma.

Guy

Just change it to "[ANN] Spondoolies-Tech - carrier grade, data center ready home mining rigs

That will really mess with their minds.

Shit like this is why I hate April Fool's Day.

Its not funny and the longer the joke holds on, the lamer it gets.

Assuming you'll win the draw. The registration numbers are very high.
