Sample Unit!
The list of reviewers was arranged by SyRenity few weeks before our launch. ShadesOfMarble was the last one in the list and he got April batch. The "Sample Unit" are ordinary units picked from the assembly line after testing. We did the same with all the reviewers. We asked for a fair and true review only. Uncensored. Oh, okay,.. I see you sent out review / sample units of the SP10. Do you have such a list for SP30? I'd like to be on it. (I'm also trying to help your "official" group buy by sending people to that thread.)

@ spondoolies Is it correct that the featured datacenters will provide at least 208V power for the sp30s? If so, this would be another advantage for American customers thinking about datacenter deployment, as they wouldn´t have to pay an electrician to install aditional lines and brakers.

Is there a senior trusted member that could set up a group buy for sp10's with a may or june delivery. And would that work spond? I am very tempted by on the other group buy I just do not like that long of a wait. Way too much can happen between now and then. I want to at least start mining with it showing I should ROI.

Main board dimensions 440X330X2.2mm with max height on CS 13mm not final and max height on PS 7mm not final
Mng board 87X265mm with max height on CS 15mm not final and max height on PS 3mm not final
Power is provided to the main board using a bus bar Signals are connected between the Main and the Mng board using a flat cable.
Thanks. Can you clarify on what PS and CS are? Also is the sp30 going to be a flat board similar to sp10 or is the "mng board" a seperate board for each chip?

There will be a groupbuy option for everyone on the sp30 groupbuy, managed by roadstress, when 700 units are reached. Therefore i hope that some kind of groupbuy will be available after the sp30 groupbuy time has run out. They seem open to the idea, and reputable forum members with any ideas should email them.

Yes, i think anything using BFL gear can (and should) safely be ignored. They can keep their power-gobbling stone aged miners for themselves. These should soon be foreced out of existance by more efficient hardware.

Thanks. Can you clarify on what PS and CS are? Also is the sp30 going to be a flat board similar to sp10 or is the "mng board" a seperate board for each chip? CS stands for "component side" ( the upper side where the ASICs are installed) and PS stands for "print side". SP10 and SP30 shares the same similar design: Two ASICs boards, one management board (FPGA + TI Sitara) as side sandwich. You can look at dogie picture here to better understand the design: We're thinking to do another design for RockerBox in which the ASICs + FPGA + TI Sitara will sit in one self contained board. This will be ideal for immersion cooling, but it will increase the BOM cost.

If we'll do the combined design, it will be in addition to the SP30 separate design. In case of immersion cooling tanks, there is advantage to get as tight design as you can. If one of the board fails, you simply remove it from the tank and replace it entirely.

If one of the board fails, you simply remove it from the tank and replace it entirely. Couldn't you design a control board that could power multiple mining boards? So if one failed you still pull it out, but just unplug it from the controller that could be sitting out of the fluid.

This will be ideal for immersion cooling, but it will increase the BOM cost. Thanks. Did some rough calculations and I think it could be viable. With the boards spaced 20mm apart you could fit 2 boards in a 1u container (1.75" x 24" x 17") so you would need 2-1.5 gallons depending on how much volume the asics displace. ~$200 per 1kw is not bad. Could be better if you can overclock.

Simple is usually the best approach.
