The following is probably the most professional modular / container build I've seen in the industry (disclaimer: we didn't test it yet)
The only reservation I have is the price.

The options that can be added would include:

Monitoring and management - KubeOS to monitor all servers and infrastructure with alerting and device management
Environmental monitoring - door sensors, temperature, humidity, dew point, airflow, smoke alarm, water sensors
Automation - fully automated fan control based on temperature feedback to minimize power usage and adjust to environmental conditions.
Remote Power cycle of PDUs
Supplemental cooling - evaporative cooling unit bolts on in front of filters for locations with ambient temperature above 30C
Firewall
Automatic Transfer Switch - to switch between two different power feeds
Novec 1230 fire suppression system
Security Cameras
Security Card access control - Extra trackable security on each door
VESDA fire detection system - Early warning industrial fire detection

All of these options would feed back into the KubeOS system and can all be monitored, graphed, and alerted on threshold breaches.  The system also has two way communication and is capable of basic management of devices in the data center like remote power cycling, turning lights on and off, unlocking doors remotely or adjusting fan speeds.

Thank you for the post. Please also email support@ to have the firmware enhancement request tracked.

A function that is still missing with the last firmwares; is a proper 'start' of the ASICs that failed tests below a known temperature.

With the last firmwares the 3 ASICs of the same loop are disabled, and they are never turned on; We must disable the troublesome one, and wait for the temperature to rise.

We are in winter; Have you a fix for this issue?

My pleasure, I wasn't sure so tried it out on my local ones first and then on my hosted ones.

BTW, most of the instructions in the readme can be ignored.

1. Stop Miner
2. cp /etc/bin/cgminer /etc/bin/cgminer.orig.4.7.0
3. WinSCP the new version from the zip
4. Start miner.

It shouldn't happen. What's your settings and PSUs?

+1

Zvi that would be good please (Tig thanks for the tip that the SP20 version works on the SP30s) ... I wasn't prepared to try it .. but thought about it, having hosted machines gets complicated at times ... if they brick.

Zvi, can you release an extranonce version for the SP10.

I used the SP20 version from Nicehash on my SP30's and it works fine, but it doesn't want to run on the SP10.

Asics constantly going offline, hash-rate dropping etc both the SP20 and the Sp20E seem to crash randomly every few days It seems

What in the world are you having to babysit? I torture my SP20, and it needs no care at all.

  no but the new coin  spike has happened on nice-west hash more then once.  just not as good as the paycoin spike.

Thats a blip though, due to that new paycoin released by GAW, you cant really factor a spike like that into your long term ROI calculations.

they have a big upside for an in home miner like myself.  6 are easy peasy to run.  just underclock  to 1200-1300gh and forget them.   plus 5 of my six were online since the price jumps at nice-west hash..  

I have earned 2.7btc in 4 ¾ days with about 8 th  I should have earned .5 btc  so the upside is another hot coin like paycoin comes out and rentals go high on nice/west- hash.   

The second upside is btc jumps to 500 usd.

The third upside is these will sell and ship pretty easy so in 60 days I can sell one or two off.

I do agree  to buy 15 or 30 is different but for some an easy enough thing to do.

In the US price doesn't normally go down. Rates are usually semi locked in and if the electric company is paying less well frankly why should the customer save more profit to them (is what they think), if the price does go down it would be very small and not likely to happen right now but in a few months.

Oil dropped how much per barrel and the price of gas went down maybe 10 cents.

Not only are new purchases slowing down but i also believe big farms by the manufacturers are slowly going offline as it has become unprofitable to mine with big capital expenditures and maintenance costs.

I plan on a SP20 Nano Farm, but need to pull the BTC together;  How long will the price last?

I know all that but I feel that If there was hardware worth buying (GH/watts/$$) people would buy.

Electricity costs also factor in, suprisingly with the low cost of oil you would think power costs would go down but at least in the US rates are not moving.

Chip makers need to focus on efficiency right now no one wants to buy power hungry miners with these current btc/usd rates

** on thing though ***

personally i want the BTC price to dump into the 200s to kill KNC and Bitmain I dont think they can support such low conversion rates with the massive expenditures  the made in the seccond part of this year.

And regarding the slowing of difficulty, I think it has more to do with KNC/Bitmain/BFL those companies stopping thier investments on new hardware, not indivdual miners.

Have you seen the difficulty lately? Obviously very few people are buying miners. The exchange rate crash has really slowed hardware purchases.

I'm still trying to understand why people are still buying miners , granted these prices are great but these machines will still have a hard time getting ROI.

a single SP20 makes less than $4 per day after electricty (assuming $10 cents /kWh)

Granted i will not turn off the machines I have right now (2 sp20s and 1 SP30)  but the SP20s were purchased using compensation from issues with the sp30

What do you guys know that I don't ?

How would you even consider purchasing 15 sp20s at ~8k and then another $2k in PSU's  all for 24TH and the joy of having to manage 15 boxes lol ?!

If anything its a better deal to buy an SP35 and at least you know you get the PSU's and around the power of 4 sp20s for under 3k  ?

*** edit the sp35 is not a good deal actually its only 5.5 TH **** i though it was 6.5

makes me sad that hardware has peaked right now.  I wired up my basement with 3 30AMP circuits have nice cooling and everything but there is zero reason for me to buy any hardware at this point.  3700 Watts for 5.5 TH seems excessive.

I see why the sp20s are a better deal far more efficient but these things are far from fire and forget, i spent at least 2-3 hours baby sitting these boxes every day sometimes more and I'd be dammed if I want to spend that kind of time managing 5-10 lol

Oh I already have 6 of these supplies wired up coincidentally with cables I got from you (36" variants though) and they're running right now. I more just want a confirmation from SP for warranty purposes.

I dont see why not, a pair of SP20 units would draw around 2100-2300W at full power, within the limits of this power supply. If underclocked slightly to be 1.5TH/900W you would have no problems.

granted, you need to wire up some PCIe connectors to do it (see my sig link below if you need thick 16awg cables to do this, capable of 288W each or more)
