[ANN] Spondoolies-Tech - carrier grade, data center ready mining rigs

[JWU42]

Spondooliestech, i hope you guys honor the order queue. I'm one of the early April batch so i expect my order to be shipped on Monday.

Can you have the shipping log based on order number?

Thanks

Of course we are honoring the priority queue, as we've mentioned, orders will be shipped according to the purchase date.

So let's try this - with a purchase today, an "In Stock" SP10 will ship when?  To keep it simple assume 1 SP10+SP30 April/July bundle.

SP-Tech recently contacted me asking for some advice regarding their driver development and then decided they would send me one of their SP10 devices, which I can confirm I have just received.

Mid April and beginning of July.
We don't stock. We build test and ship.

See post above (which has since been edited).  I would say it is even MORE misleading as it clearly says "starts shipping tomorrow"...

April bundles available - shipping starts tomorrow!


Several April + July bundles are available again:
http://www.spondoolies-tech.com/products/better-together-sp10-sp30-july

As usual, first come - first serve!

Key point for anyone thinking of ordering the bundle - the SP10 won't ship for another ~10 days.  The SP30 was July (as of 14 hours ago this morning) and is now August.

How hard is it? They ship in batches. The next batch start shipping tomorrow and it will end on 15-16 April.

It isn't hard - they are obfuscating with bolded text like IN STOCK and "shipping starts tomorrow".

All this is avoided with a statement like...

We have had some April and July SP30 bundles become available.  We plan to start shipping the April SP10 tomorrow and any new order would be at the very end of this production run and wouldn't ship for approximately 10 days.  The key point here is we are respecting the order queue and your new order would be at the VERY end of the April shipments.  Again, we ESTIMATE this to be around April 16th.

As you said, not that hard

Site may be misleading, but hey at least they are shipping, better than most ASIC suppliers.

I have done my best to dig through the entire OS and translate what I have found back to "Normal English".  I have to say... I am impressed.

It was a mistake in my post. Corrected. Thanks.
For the following bundle: http://www.spondoolies-tech.com/products/better-together-sp10-sp30-july
SP10 will be shipped in less than 10 days. As explained, we don't stock, we build test and ship.
We're working as fast as possible but there are some external factors like Passover.
The SP30 will be shipped in July.

External factors...Like this...?!?

I did NOT know that Bitcoin industry ...or any others...depends on such things...

But sounds like a nice excuse...I guess...Like BitMain Chinese New Year "excuse"...


P.S.  Have to try this with my boss too...Should I...?

Not an excuse...
Flextronics doesn't work in Passover.

[ZiG]

Really...?

I didn't know that they have a Passover in Taiwan...

btw: SP30 will use the same TI Sitara processor and peripherals (based on beagle bone black, but our own PCB)
Most of the SW will remain the same.
We're dev friendly and committed to open source.

I know...it's a country specific...

I was a little bit sarcastic...or maybe jealous...that you...Chinese...Muslim world too...can afford to have a week long break...that "regular" Americans/Europeans could only dream about...Could you imagine Walmart or McDonalds closed for a week...?...   

On the other note...your choice of Flextronics is Excellent...IMHO they are the BEST OEM global manufacturer...so they can keep your Excellent design(s) manufactured properly and at the best quality...!

Keep the good work and high standards, guys...

The only thing that I would like to see lower is the PRICE...so except your Company making BIG profits...we can make some small too...

Indeed, we have a lot of Holidays (http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/israel/) but it's not a week long.
Flextronics do work between the first and the last day of Passover

On the other note...your choice of Flextronics is Excellent...IMHO they are the BEST OEM global manufacturer...so they can keep your Excellent design(s) manufactured properly and at the best quality...!

Totally agree.

Keep the good work and high standards, guys...

Thank you.

Awesome review! Nice "reader friendly" operating system teardown.

I like Spondoolies-Tech's open source approach, and what better platform to build on than the MinePeon interface? Good to see that improvements will flow back and forth between MineForeman and the ST team.

Certainly.
