[CLOSED] Spondoolies-Tech SP30 - Specs: 6TH/s + 0.46W/GH

[wpgdeez]

Indeed, silence is golden.

Spondoolies Tech - either support this group buy now or close it down and let's all move on.

I'm pretty sure Spondoolies said this wasn't an official group buy earlier. OP has flown the coup, this isn't happening. Move on and I hope no one gave him any personal information or sent any funds.

we are temporarily suspending sales of the SP 30 mining rigs.

Sales are stopped so no more GB. This can be closed I guess.

[jb0316]

Come on guys.  Either finalise the pricing or close the group buy.

Stop fucking about.

Is it too late to place an order in the group buy? that is if it's going to happen?

[wpgdeez]

This isn't a group buy it is a scam. OP is nowhere to be found.

OP is here to answer to the buyers but not answer to the FUDs

Spondoolies-Tech has discontinued sales of the September batch of SP30s because the chips they received from TSMC are under performing and do not reach the advertised 6TH/s speeds.  Spondoolies-Tech has stated this in their thread in the hardware forums, and are offering compensation for people who have placed orders.  They have not yet provided details on the exact cause, or released the updated specs for the SP30.  They have, however, stated that the October batch will indeed perform up to spec.  That is speculation on their part, assuming TSMC will fix the production issue and supply them with proper chips.

In any case, at this point there is no further sales of a September batch of SP30.  Until Spondoolies-Tech makes the announcement in their thread, and updates their website with new specs and pricing, this group buy is not going anywhere.

[bitmadrid]

Bulk buy of this group remains as soon as SPTech reopen the sales.

This group buy is kept to until reopen sales with the new specifications according with the oficial published on:

Really?

I thought with the most recent news we were finally done with preorders?

Just give it up. This sad excuse for a forum sale really should have never been approved by sptech.

Please let the kind people of this "group buy" spend their hard earned money on something that won't take who knows how long to deliver who knows what.

Spondoolies will be selling sp30 from stock probably no later than September so if you really want one just wait. No need to send your nonrefundable money months in advance.

Sounds like a BFL excuse so they can mine the SP30's themselves.

I don't think Spondoolies-Tech has ever officially sanctioned this GB.  In fact, the only time they've actually replied in this post was to dispute claims that they were selling the SP30s at $2500 for bulk purchases.

[lowbander80]

Lets wait then one GB has happened why not a second one.

[wpgdeez]

The first one was sanctioned by Spondoolies and their mouthpiece Roadstress. This guy is rogue on his own and basically trying to organize a bulk purchase without much success by the looks of it. If there is too be a second I would suspect it would be ran by Roadstress again.

At this point everybody is waiting for an update from Spondoolies-Tech regarding the new specs of the SP30 along with new pricing.  So far, the last update from them was "be patient, we're testing and will release results soon."

[teeGUMES]

the fact that bitmadrid still has this listed as open, has not updated the specs to unknown, or updated the first post to reflect what is happening with SP-Tech's chips right now goes to show you that he is incapable of running a successful group buy.

when something is going to cost people this significant amount of money or bitcoin you should at least try and be as sales professional as you can be.

let me translate what this blog actually says:

"like always once we have your bitcoin for upstart costs and you have financed our product manufacturing we like to use the machines to mine what little profitability is left in them before we ship it to you....sincerely sp-tech"

Well, Spondoolies-Tech has officially announced the production specs of the SP30:

July, August, September batches are 4.5TH/s @ 3000W from the wall
October and later are 5.5TH/s @ 3000W from the wall

Pricing will be adjusted to reflect the change in specs.  No actual pricing numbers have been presented yet, and their website has not been updated with stock/pricing, either.

Ouch. Not good news for those stuck with 15A/120V circuits ... they're limited to 1440W each, continuous load. Trying to get 1500W out of one is asking for trouble. The original SP30 spec called for 2400W, which would have been fine for 2 circuits.

Pricing should be competitive to the Bitmain S3.

Taking big chances in a WAR ZONE....

You're exactly right... the new power requirements effectively kill off any chance of running these units residentially in the US unless you've had electrical work done.  I imagine the new power requirements will also impact hosting costs as well.  All in all pretty disappointing news from the guys at SP-Tech... losing 1.5TH/s and costing 500-600W more in power.  The numbers are still pretty good in terms of efficiency, but just nowhere near what was advertised/promised/sold.  I know the SP-Tech guys have promised compensation to those who ordered, so kudos to them for at least making an effort.
