spondoolies price drop How will bitmain respond?

[ChineseSavior]

Interesting. 3 sp20's for <1200$ now!!! ballin! w/free shipping (more ballin)

the question is how will bitmain respond? Surely simply matching this price is not sufficient....

and  bitmaintech sell 3 s-5's for   3 x 340 = 1020 coupons can be as high as 45 each so 1020 - 135 = 885 plus shipping of 118 total of

1003  ..    I do not think they will drop the price.

as 1003 after shipping and coupons beats 1199.

well I have 8 sp20's and 1 s-5   so you can see what I prefer.

I am in a private home and I do have the room for 1 more s-5.

I have to down clock it to freq 300 and add 2 delta fans but it would be quiet. 47 -48 db

  I think I am going to do this.  

 I will have 8 and 2. about 12th and 6 kwatts of power


s-4 wants how much for power 1200 watts for 2000gh?  or more like 1350 watts for 2000gh.

I prefer Hosting my own equipment :/ any other plans to drop $$$ so I can physically touch and hold and kiss my machines?

not sure where you are going with this.... For 200$ more you get 5.1ths w/free shipping. Never used a spondoolies unit just going off price here.

Where by your numbers you're only getting 3ths and paying basically the same price -200$... And you're still paying shipping feeds :/ Personally I'd love to see bitmain answer with some type of blowout sale that we can't refuse on new and/or refurbed units. Not only do we have to factor the price difference but all the troubleshooting we have to do on the bitmain units. If I'm spending 2hrs/day maintaining my bitmain unites vs 1hr/day maintaining a spondoolie well that should be a factor..

Good lord. $479 a unit now. I'd buy a bunch more, except they are way too loud to run inside the house I can mod S5's to run more quietly.

I sincerely hope future "home miners" from both Bitmain and SPTech will run much quieter.

Will forward the message to engineers!!!

Isnt it possible to mod the SPTech with a higher pressure, lower rpm fan?

It will be good if we have S4 for 350 USD and host it on our own.

Can we buy it with that price but no hosting?

[bigredbutton]

Sucks for me... The sucker that bought 3 units just days before the price drop. Thanks Spondoolies!

@ Bitmain

You may want to consider selling accessories to your customers.

Something like a baffle box is a useful (reusable) item that can help with the noise.

Even though Butmain still hasn't responded, the net has. eg. ebay prices have plummeted since the announcement. (buy now prices, not auctions that have been going for over a week. They are naturally inflated before the crash and announcement)

[Meech]

Couldn't imagine it would be too difficult for a quiieter case/fan design given as many as they sell and markup value.  Probably good for them to hear our concern for next design.

I think friedcat will bring out something with decent cooling. They at least learnt their lesson the hard way with the last prisma line. Bitmain don't tend to listen. Just look at that ugly U3 they just released with terrible stats.

Please do it.  Sure they can find more quiet fans in China. Like this cheap one: Gembird DC120SF-12AS3.

70C at one blade and 66 at another. Ambient temperature is 27.5 C in that room (it's very good for my Gouldian finches). So the blades can be even cooler if ambient temp is lower...

I'm all in for SP20.  Made a trial order of 6 units and after some playing around we decided that theses miners are top notch quality build and the options are endless.
Downclocked all 6 units to 1.2 ghash and power around 620-640 at the wall.
Just as important 3 firmware updates in a week with extra features…. WOW.

My setup calls for sp20's over s-5's

but with proper mods the s-5 is okay other then it is really hard to stack it.

[btcshiner]

I would like to see Bitmain go back to not charging shipping.  The S5 doesn't weigh more than an s1 and I used to get s1's for under $200 shipped.
