[Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive SpondooliesTech SP30 Setup [HD]

[Collider]

I can also confirm the hashrate of 4.5TH at the pool for my first unit.

In fact it is nearly 100GH more, but it sometimes goes "down" to 4.5

[Master One]

Does anyone know if it is possible to connect a SP30 to a three-phase 400V/50Hz power output common here in Europe (the voltage is in fact 3 x 240V and not 400V, but such a power connection is called like that).

I've just checked, all our regular 240V circuit breakers are only 13A, so I would need two separate circuits to run one SP30, whereas the three-phase 400V circuit has a 16A breaker, which would fit the bill, but I'm unsure it it's possible to use only two phases (2 x 240V) causing an asymmetric load.

Any idea on that matter?

Where do you live in Europe?

It is very likely that there are hosting options available that are in fact cheaper than hosting it at your house.

Additional VAT charges that apply when importing into Europe would also not need to be paid.

I'm here in Austria, VAT in not an issue (I can let our company purchase and run the hardware), and despite the fact that the lowest energy price I can get here at 0.11 EUR/kWh (excl. VAT) all calculations indicate so far that I'm better off with self-hosting.

There are good hosting solutions available starting at 0.07€/kWh, feel free to pm me if you need any infos.

how much money did it cost to you to import it in EU shipping + charge taxs + customs ?

I don't know if that is directed at me, but I did decide against the SP30, simply because it's way easier to resell a bunch of used Antminer S3 second hand than one SP30.

Shipping on one SP30 to Europe is 300 USD, afaik there are no custom charges, but you will have to pay import VAT for sure (that depends the regular VAT rate of your country).

here in Greece we have 23 % tax + customs (i dont know ?)

here is a list i made ...

thank you

Simply put, there is no advantage of getting any of these miners into Europe.

You get cheaper hosting outside Europe than what you woul pay for electricty alone, never mind VAT.

i waiting an offer for hosting in Holland
do you have a good cheap hosting service ?

If you are a VAT registered company, you reclaim the VAT on the hardware anyway. $300 is a small price to pay for control of your investment.

How did you arrive at the 300$ number?

Have a look at the hosting comparison thread (under service discussions), you will find that you can get hosting for as cheap as 0.1$/kWh on 6 month contracts.

[Master One]

How did you arrive at the 300$ number?

Those are the shipping costs for one SP30 to Europe.

Those are the worldwide shipping costs.

I highly doubt that a European facility can beat 227$/SP30/m on a 6-month contract.

Unless you bought one in the group buy which includes shipping.

Can this unit be turned off and on easily? For example, can the power be turned off and on without issue during a power outage or just because you wanted it off for a couple hours? Would you need to initialize anything and set it up again, or would it seamlessly start where it left off? Thanks!

Sure,  I don't see why not.

I don´t see any major problems with that, but the question arises: Why would you want to periodically turn a 4.5TH miner off?

Booting is done in less than a minute, and if you had a pool entered before the power went off, it will continue mining to that pool.
