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

[PatMan]

I'm very happy with my SP20's performance with p2pool, it's steady and to spec. I do have a couple of questions though, if someone can help me out:

I want to experiment with the -queue setting, as from my experience p2pool likes this set to zero & reduces the DOA/stale rate. I presume that as there is no flag in the cgminer command already - it is using the default setting of 1? When I add the command "queue":"0" to cgminer via ssh & restart the miner, the queue flag is displayed on the cgminer pools page, but with no value stated underneath, instead of showing 0. Is this a bug, or am I unable to use the queue command on the SP20?
You can change params in /etc/cgminer.conf. You can also replace cgminer in /etc/bin/ with custom cgminer, or with script that will call any excecutible with any parameters. I am not experienced with cgminer in p2pool to help beyond that.

Also, on the asics stats page, am I correct in thinking that board 0 corresponds to loop 0, board 1 to loop 1, etc? I've noticed that loop 0 & 2 are running at a lower temp than loops 1 & 3 - so was wondering if I can increase the watts to those loops/boards via the settings page? Or do the watts have to be the same for all 4 boards (power units on the settings page)?
There are 4 virtual boards in SP20, and the back boards (1/3) are throttled more in temp over 17C because they are not getting cool air. Increase fans or decrease ambient temp, if possible.

Thanks in advance 

Inline.

Hi zvisha,

Inline? Does that mean the watts must be the same for all 4 power inputs?

Thanks again 

PatMan, you problably have figured it out by yourself already, but "Inline" means here "The answers were placed inline as bold text".

Yeah, I worked that bit out eventually... Thanks. But I still don't know if it's OK to set the boards/loops at different settings or weather I have to keep them all the same......

barbara told me yesterday to hurry with the 795 'to be sure it would be in stock'

[raskul]

Black Friday til Cyber Monday sale Ed.
I can see them selling out by Sunday

i understand, but would it not be prudent to mention an upcoming 100 dollar discount?

IE - hold on until tomorrow...

im stunned!!

The SP20 is again like the past Spondoolies-Tech miners and simply an excellent miner. SP-Tech has also cut the prices recently to $795. The lower price to performance level makes them an excellent buy as well. They are also going to have a Bitcoin Black Friday special that will bring the price down to $695 and run through Cyber Monday. Guy says they will ship from stock as well: Meaning it is not a preorder sale.

MUCH wow!

[edgar]

I was specifically referring to barabara, who in the emails where i asked for a discount neglected to mention any sale and in fact advised me to buy asap...

would it not THEN have been logical to mention there is a sale starting imminently...?




OK, so will you (SPT) honor the 100USD discount seeing as my order is still    'pending & unfulfilled'   $940.00   ?

[notlist3d]

I have to admit I have become a SP fan.  The SP20 is truly great.    And looking foward to even being able to down clock one day and get even more profit out of it

if you bought via my link i'm willing to put $100 of my own earned commission to ensure you get that discount Ed.

 

[Biffa]

Well I couldn't help myself.

Buying another SP20 using the proceeds of old miner sales that have more than made their money back

In return getting the same output but much lower power usage.

Now.. for big boys toys.. seems to make sense to get the SP31 with immediate delivery right? Compared to the extra 500Gh but maybe 1 month later delivery of the SP35?

i really should have used your link and now regret not taking a bit of time to discuss it with you all.

meh. and here's me with every faith in you. /s
to be totally transparent now: I don't promote spondoolies because i want to get rich from folks orders.
I'm not a 'paid shill'
I do it because i truly believe in the company and their ethos.
I don't get paid cash with my referral earnings, i get a small commission which goes towards Sp-Tech products, which I mine with myself and do not sell on.
My BTC is held in cold wallets and put safely away for my children's futures - apart from a small amount each month that I use to rent other mining rigs p2p from other miners to sustain the pool on which I mine (mmpool.org).
Having been in contact with SP-Tech from the very beginning, I will continue to uphold their integrity that they are committed to the decentralisation of the bitcoin network and the promotion of smaller miners like myself.
I'm not a super-genius tech-savvy electronics guru... I like to be able to switch things on, and they work, when they don't work, I come looking for you lot to help me.
...and i'm an insomniac  that's why I have so much time on my hands to do this sort of thing.
I want to make sure everyone knows about bitcoin and everyone benefits from it.

so... on this occasion only, i'll take the $100 hit from my referral earnings so that you can have that discount Ed. If Gadi or Guy can confirm this is OK, then i'm sure we can make sure you are content. As long as you recognise you are taking that $100 from my kids inheritance 

respect.

hehe that's why i'm giving them BTC - it's a very useful learning tool as well as a valuable asset.
and each paper wallet has only .25BTC deposited into them, it's to be 'pocket-money' inheritance spread over the course of their lives, when they are old enough to know what to do with them.

i think we crossed wires there. i genuinely regret not discussing the matter with the forum. (i get much more info here than from manufacturers)

NO sarc/snark intention AT ALL.

i will not accept a penny of yours, nor your kids' inheritance as it is not you nor their 'oversight' that caused this consternation.

and i actually find the suggestion somewhat 'tongue in cheek' vulgar.


However.. id be vocally appreciative to receive a 100 usd rebate (in good faith) from SPT...

HENCE - my 'why would barbara NOT have mentioned it in the same email i requested (& received) a discount for miner downtime' question?

it seems kind of peculiar- does it not?

Though to be quite frank, i wonder if that bank transfer has even gone through yet.

[raskul]

ah well, cool.

hope you get it sorted out. the offer is there anyhoo.

 

[Biffa]

Soo.. no opinion.. SP31 now or SP35 maybe at end of Dec...

What are most peoples SP31's running at? Anywhere near 4.9 on 210V?
