Tried to Load Balance the SP20 between two pools. Setting load-balance to true in the config.template works, however the quota flag seems to get eaten.

Reference from cgminer README:

Quote

"pools" : [
   {
   "url" : "poola:porta",
   "user" : "usernamea",
   "pass" : "passa"
   },
   {
   "quota" : "2;poolb:portb",
   "user" : "usernameb",
   "pass" : "passb"
   }
]

This would be 1 to 2.

I enter it like above, restart cgminer, but then template reverts to:

Quote

"pools" : [
   {
   "url" : "poola:porta",
   "user" : "usernamea",
   "pass" : "passa"
   },
   {
   "url" : "poolb:portb",
   "user" : "usernameb",
   "pass" : "passb"
   }
]

Resulting in 1:1.

Good for you! You are able to get free electricity, right?

... why need free to make the sp20 worth it?

I was just curious, that's all. I heard it is a great machine. If the price was lower I would buy one just to have another piece of bitcoin hardware/history.

I recently received a used SP20. I know that it works, and can hash. When I received it, it had Firmware 2.5.61 installed. Virtually everything I have seen posted here for a recent version is 2.6.x. So I went down the route of "Upgrading the firmware". I went and let it choose the "latest firmware", and the result appears to be 2.6.1. I am virtually certain that many folks have 2.6.7 or possibly 2.6.14? I then tried the auto update again, and it says "I am current with the latest". I then looked into a "Manual Selection", and said that 2.5.12 was the only one I could choose from. That just didn't look right, so I decided to seek advice here before I try and advance beyond 2.6.1.

1) I am truly confused by the firmware version numbering scheme.

2) How do I get beyond 2.6.1 to something that's got better control of the fan?

If there is a discussion of this somewhere in the past 500 pages, please point me at it.

Thanks very much!!!

when you go to "manual Selection" and see 2.5.12, there are two little arrows to the right of it.
Click on them without releasing the mouse and you will see pulldown menu with more choices. navigate to one of them, then release the mouse.
then upgrade.

Select the firmware upgrade manually. 2.6.7 is currently shown as a test version but it works.

2.6.7 has 1 problem: it doesn't work unless both boards are connected to power.
There is 2.6.14 which should be good too and should work if 1/2 miner only connected, and also has 1 more recovery mechanism for i2c.
Please let me know how it works for you.

Yes, I Can run them on free electricity. But only up to 6 units. That is enough for me though. Doing it as a Hobby with a bit of cashflow 😊.
Hopefully I will receive them this week

Without cheap electricity its hard to reach ROI on an SP20 to be honest at current BTC prices.

Because most of the guys complaining here are used to get things for free.
You see, replacing their own brain-power with easy bought/rented one should hurt ...

Has anyone been able to get the WiFi to work on the SP20? I have the dongle plugged in but it even after multiple re-scans, nothing shows up for networks. Am I missing a step? I am on 2.6.7

I just tried to purchase an SP20, was re-directed to a shopify(?).com for bitcoin payment and it said the site was down. I guess I will be buying an S5 instead. I really wanted an SP20, though.

I have 9 of them in house. I am in New Jersey, USA. If you are USA send me a pm.

I have had seasonic 660 760 and 860 platinum psus never any issues even when over loading them 10-15% over. But then again only pulling 200-210 watts per connector.

what does an sp20 pull per connector?

If they are pulling around 1200 watts and there are only 4 inputs in the back then 300 watts per connector. Kinda iffy if you dont have 16 awg wires.
