To be honest, since about a month or two ago, I have found many of your replies in this thread to be very abrupt, dismissive or just unfriendly.
Can you post an example or two? Guy I'm not here to compete with you who is right or who isn't. If you want to know then fine. There you go. Just some of the recent replies. "Please stop posting about your personal refund issue here. I wrote, very clearly, that the refund is being processed and when you should expect it. Guy" - Unfriendly, dismissive. It's not my "personal" issue but issue of the customer and issue of the company being unfair and inefficient in processing the refund (money). "I'm too tired to get all the details at this hour. but it seems like a mistake. Please emails sales@ again. Guy" - Dismissive and abrupt. If you are too tired at the time then why are you on the forum and why are you replying at all. Also I sent you a msg a week ago asking for some customer service contact number I could phone to ask about the refund. If there is any. Never got a reply. These are just my opinions but... I find such replies unprofessional. I don't think that the fact that it is a forum reply and not direct customer support reply by e-mail provides and excuse to be informal and unprofessional in communication. Regardless what customer types here (I'm not talking about trolls but customers). Also, often when someone asks the question you reply that it is already explained somewhere in the thread. People don't have so much time to browse through hundreds of pages of forum to find the answer. Nice and professional way would be to either copy the answer or provide a link to the post. Sometimes when I read your replies here it looks like you are talking to some pub buddies not customers. To be honest, since about a month or two ago, I have found many of your replies in this thread to be very abrupt, dismissive or just unfriendly.
I'm sorry you feel that way. I do acknowledge that our support replies sometimes takes too long. We're overwhelmed with requests. Guy Thank you for apologizing and sorting this issue out.

The forum strives to allow free discussion of any ideas. All policies are built around this principle. This doesn't mean you can post garbage, though: posts should actually contain ideas, and these ideas should be argued reasonably.

... Imo the hardware and support is excellent, and the team knows what they are doing. Most of the negative posts in this thread are from people looking for refunds on preorders
Thank you. Most of the negative posts are from trolls, not from people looking for refunds on preorders. To be clear, I'm not calling ANY of our customers or prospect customers trolls. The trolls knows who they are. Don't get embittered by it is my meagre advice. I'm not. Learnt a new word.

Question on SP10s: I upgraded the firmware. About 1/2 restarted mining. The other 1/2 act like they cannot find the pool they are on (I checked and the pool settings have not changed). Any idea why that would happen?

Make sure the units start right .. I had the same problem when the miner could not detect the current time and was trying to "mine" back in 1999 .. It did not connect to the pools just because the timestamp was not right. A power bounce solved the issue (power the miner down then again up).

No, just curious if their effective hashrate remains the same with the much more frequent work restarts demanded by p2pool. The quoted stats are from the second day of mining. The unit was in fact online more than 24hours before the "yesterday" stats were recorded. Here are the detailed stats: Mining on p2pool. (above) Mining on normal pool (the one the sp10 from previously was connected to aswell).

Thanks very much for finding that quote Biffa, that's just what I was looking for. Only caveat is the big drops were on an early firmware that was doing the psu calibrations during that time period. There were a couple of other quotes, basically they don't seem to perform any different on p2pool than on any other pool from what I can ascertain.

Personally, I like your direct no-nonsense approach.
The main thing is that the CEO is active right here on the forum... so communication is happening, questions are answered, responses are being made. We've got great tech support right here too.
It's like night and day compared to many other manufacturers.

Want to thank SPTech for building a great product in the SP30. Just sold the few we had and they were snapped up right away at a very favorable price. They ran non-stop for 30 days without a burp or hiccup over the 4.5Th stated range that was given.
Quality speaks.
Thanks again for the great experience and when conditions are right we hope to get more units.
--edit--
You are most welcome.
