I am happy with this news, this mean we are close to the new gen.

Hi All,
We are Happy to announce that the SP20 has sold out.
It's not too late for those who want to own a Spondoolies-Tech unit as we continue to offer the SP31.
http://www.spondoolies-tech.com/products/sp31-yukon-shipping-from-stock
These are the last of our second generation units that will be available while we continue our development of the third generation.
A big thank you from all of us at Spondoolies-Tech to all SP20 reviewers, customers, and enthusiasts!

And now that these are all gone and the 31's are next in line...Can you drop any info about the time line of the 3rd gen???
I personally have been holding my bankroll to see whats next and when it will happen.

A theoretical SP100 assuming .5 watts efficiency would require 5000 watts. Most people would have a problem to power it.
Would need 4 different 115v circuits, and enough power supplies, probably 9 x 600, with 18 power connector inputs on the machine.

When is the SP100 launch ?
??link? (you are prob just making this up to 'taunt' us...but just in case)
so I'll take the bait....

What's the SP20 FD121238UB fan wire system? Yellow, Black, Green, Blue
As I know that normal standard:
BLACK: Negative
RED: Positive
YELLOW: Tacho
BLUE: PWM Control
As I know that normal standard:
BLACK: Negative
RED: Positive
YELLOW: Tacho
BLUE: PWM Control
Pinout:
1 - 12V
2 - GND
3 - TACHO (Fan output towards controller board for rotation indication)
4 - PWM (controller board output towards fan to set rotation speed)

just an FYI - both my sp20 & sp20E have been acting up.
possibly due to dying PSUs
new PSUs seem to have solved the constant hiccups for now
I also think they could do with a cleaning/dusting... which is a bit of a nightmare...
one day i'll present to you my 'SPDirty'
oh & BTW - @support asked for (& received) my email address a week ago, nothing since.
BOL Solemn!!
You posted that SD boot solved your issue.possibly due to dying PSUs

Do you still have open issue?
and AFTER i posted that, you posted your team would like to send experimental something.
days later they PMd to ask for email address (despite already having it)
i replied the same day - not heard back since.
not that i want anything - just sharing my experience.
what do you suggest for cleaning the SP20s heatsinks?

Gentlemen,
I have an SP20 that has decided to restart itself every 300 (roughly) seconds. This unit has been running alongside its sisters just fine for over a month and developed this problem yesterday. Sooooo...a few questions...
Do I email spondoolies directly and if so which email address?
Do I simply let this post prompt someone at SP-tech respond?
What reporting or screen shots can I provide to help tech support solve this problem?
Is there a few quick things I can check myself before escalating this to SP-tech support?
Thanks in advance!

I totally agree on that its becoming a small group who will be left mining and it might hurt bitcoin that it evolves this way.
But again we can not say whats going to happen, but it sure looks like a few massive miner groups will be left.
I know some are huge chinese miners who have still access to cheap electricity.
But i think china will in time become much more expenssive because of the massive profits they made in the last decade.

I think that is one of the keys. The chinese are. not cutting edge but they can ramp up production quickly any new design and they can build at cost. I am imagining huge warehouses full of under volted chips at 1 generation back using company or government subsidised electricity.

I don't want to go off topic but I seem to remember talk that spondoolies WAS considering a scrypt rig (likely I am getting my mnfg mixed up)
Not really mixed up, it's just that a bunch of them were working on them, and then didn't / didn't put them on the market.Bitmain was going to make the Antminer L1, but cancelled that.
BitFury... ah, BitFury.. love 'm, but no idea why they wouldn't just stick to Bitcoin, really
Spondoolies did confirm plans back in june of 2014, and later somebody mentioning it was supposed to be slated for Q4 2014 (but that might have been the PickAxe). That time came and went, and given the Scrypt landscape, I'm not sure what the best time for introduction would be even if they've got the design or even the chips ready to go.
and to my 2nd question is there going to be ANY type of 'chip off the old block' so to speak home miner
Hijacking this question only to say that even if they do exit the retail / home miner market, I hope they'll still be willing to deliver chips to whomsoever wants to plunk down the money for some (and willing to sign the NDAs).That way companies like TechnoBit (I know that name provokes love/hate emotions, thankfully there's pre-existing threads for that) can continue to design miners around the chips that are home miner-friendly (as they have done with the RockerBox/DICE). As long as one understands that home mining is not particularly likely to be profitable for the end user.
The scrypt market of hardware is kinda dead, nobody is offering those 1 and 2 Gh miner boards some have developed.
And ofcourse the massive amount of the 200+ Mh machines being sold makes this not very attractive business for sales.
Anyone who wants to step into this market needs to figure out how they got such an advantage.
Also you can not buy these boards as far as i know, so nobody can copy the tech they have.
And finding a better solution would cost alot of money and would probably again beaten by those who have the high speed boards already.
But we will see what happens, it might be a good time for make a few extra coins
I guess many will leave the crypto coin world if they find out nothing can be gained other than by trading.
So in the long run its probably again a few very large miners who will dominate that market.

halving is still a ways off, and anyone whose able to mine a decent profit before it will probably continue to do so after (likely 25-30% of the hashrate will turn off whent he halving occurs due to no longer being profitable) - the difficulty will adjust in accordance with the halving and BTC value at the time
That's what people said with the last halving. Look where we are now!

I don't want to go off topic but I seem to remember talk that spondoolies WAS considering a scrypt rig (likely I am getting my mnfg mixed up) but asking anyway if
anything is still going on with that idea?
and to my 2nd question is there going to be ANY type of 'chip off the old block' so to speak home miner like the sp20 bitcoin or scrypt related in the
future....? or is it just going to be hosting options (recommended) and/or cloud mining from here on?
hey if you've no idea yet that is fine also ......as weird as everything is in bitcoin/altcoin land that is also perfectly understandable
anyway ......thanks in advance ..for the reply
