[Closed] Legendaries review party of Spondoolies-Tech's SP20

[Biffa]

Thanks everyone again for the help! I almost had the network admin to come along to help, LOL.

Lucky, if my network admin saw me running a miner on the network at work I'd be up for the chop

With the review can we have also some photos of the SP20 ? Or is it not possible ?  .

I think they are going to do their own threads

Yeah,

I have them, some photos, and some data at mostly full speed (stock configuration), need to do some low power tweaking, but it will take a day or two more.

Oh yes , you are right. I've find this thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=872014.0  with some photos and a great review.

all heros must be really unhappy now

[raskul]

folks, a little guide to help you get the most out of your SP20 mining for the next few days (sorry if i'm trying to teach granny to suck eggs, but i've been asked by users who own SP20's)

First impressions and a few photos of my Sp20

Got mine as well, took me 3 minutes and 46 seconds to set it up, including unboxing, unpackaging PSUs, jumping them, configuring the miner status, and then running. Pretty happy with that so far. I didn't do anything with IP/Mac Addresses, I just plugged it in and went to myminer.io

edit* about as loud as a low powered vacuum cleaner. However I haven't tinkered with the fan settings or anything else yet, its just been running at 80% fan. Like most asics I suppose at stock settings, its fine if you have a basement or a room out of the way, but I probably wouldn't put it in a living space.

I could not expect less from ishmael after some nuclear power plants study, this is "vacation time".

PS: Any ideas on how to get the WAN address showing? I'm still manually connecting to it directly as it never shows on myminer.io. Anyhow, I'm really happy with it (1.6TH/s stable). It managed to crash completely twice during the day (in which there was no connection to the IP and I had to restart it manually), but that's probably due to overheating. First impressions and reviews/pics will come tomorrow after I let it run a complete night.

The units report back "home" if in the settings tab you have that option checked (it's on by default though). Then the myminer.io gets updated ..

Note: myminer.io does not list your miner if:
1. the miner does not see the net (i.e. you mine on your local p2pool node or similar)
2. if the register option is off (settings tab, at the bottom)
3. your PC and the miners are in different subnets

Make sure the miners get their time right (ntp), and have a consistent pool connection.

What ports does the SP20 talk to myminer.io on?

Should be on 80 .. It's a curl call in CRON to a SAILS framework located at http://pnp.spondoolies-tech.com ... see /etc/cron.d/pandp_register.sh.

Hello!

Just received my sp20, I have it hashing away at default settings.  
Using 2 SS 650's golds.  
pulling 1017 watts at the wall
1.54 Th/s    1.45 Th/s


couple of things i noticed..

my webmonitor not working out of the box, the api returns are different then my ants
someone said loud as a vacuum.. that is exactly the noise it makes

will let it run for 24 hours then begin my report.

Jim

edit:  are we suppose to just post here? start a new thread?

I'd start a new thread for your review .. The units are running cgminer 4.7.0, optimized for the SPT units by ckolivas. Are your ants running something different?
By default the api is accessible from localhost only. You have to modify cgminer.conf if you want it enabled over the lan.

Please remember that the firmware was ported from the data-center ready units (SP3x) where lan api access was deemed a security risk, since you can modify the configuration and repoint the miners to different pools with it. In a hosted environment with ssh access, that's neat huh?

It might be case 3, as I'm on an extremely big network. Any other way to determine its address? I remember reading somewhere that I can ssh to it, and after trying it indeed accepts ssh access. It doesn't really accept the password I set using the Web UI though, is there a specific username/command I should use?

I used "SSH admin@(the ip)", and I imputed  the password afterwards.

[wh00per]

the default ssh credentials are root/root .. while the default UI credentials are different .. admin/admin

Later Edit: you can should change both passwords in the settings tab.

Awesome, thanks again! *john writes this hint down for the upcoming review*
Any suggestions on how would I find its external IP given SSH access? I guess I could always send a ping or something from it to a vps I own, but that's kinda convoluted.

I did a 'curl ifconfig.me' and that worked.
