Why have the specs not been adjusted to be even slightly competitive?

This is one funny/stupid question. How can they adjust specs if there is a fixed number of chips that go into the SP20? It's like asking a Prisma to do 10Th/s. More absurd stuff from AM shareholders with delirium tremens from the lack of dividends and a share-price that is only going downwards.

Well, I got that info directly from Guy:

The SP20 should give better results then what we published. We'll get the faster ASICs in 2 weeks and revise the spec.
Also, iit depends on the PSU efficiency.

Are you saying Guy just lied about improving the specs in order to fleece people? Was the site ever updated with better results?

i heard they are selling sp20's like hotcakes and zvi is on vacation for another week and one half

Zvi being on holiday would make sense. As for SP20's selling like hotcakes, yeah, hotcakes being sold in Antarctica. Seriously, why would the least profitable miner out of the current crop be selling like hotcakes? It's always been over-priced and offers terrible value compared to the competition.

I heard that ... Bla Bla Bla
Troll with hearing problems. Funny.

My hearing is fine and I'm not trolling, I'm simply repeating information that I heard. Given how insanely overpriced the SP20 is, such a rumour would make perfect sense to me. If SP20 has not been cancelled, then why is there no more info about it this close to shipping date? Why have the specs not been adjusted to be even slightly competitive?

If those rumours are completely false, what does that mean for SP20? Are the currently listed specs final? Are you still planning on shipping this month?

Clueless!
I heard that Spondoolies cancelled the SP20s due to them being too expensive to manufacture and the performance not meeting expectations, hence the lack of updates despite supposedly shipping in the next week or two. I also heard that Zvi was fired which is why the broken firmware hasn't been fixed.

What miner would you order right now SP20 or Sp35? I am past the ROI argument and just want to get a feel for what you guys would do. Electricity I have a lot of 240V now and I just want to pull the trigger so to speak. 

ok...you may bet a much better deal on an sp10 at 1.4TH on ebay...saw one as a buy it now for 968 usd

just saying



I ordered Some Prismas with the low exchange rate last week.  I filled the right now addiction.  I need to fill the next month one.  S4 looks to be S*** so it’s SP20s or the 35s.  I think Bobsag has cheaper Sp10s on Minersource if you want to fill rack space. I have rack space and shelf space so it does not matter for a while.

Zvisha is currently on vacation (1.5 weeks left, IIRC), so it will likely be a while before this issue is fixed.
...
A bit less.
Beside, this weekend is the last holiday for a long time.
If you're around, come visit us on Sunday and Monday at http://bitcointlv.com/en/

It works fine with all my other miners, however, my SP30's (firmware 2.4.21) always report a hash rate of around 1Th/s (they are hashing around 4.5Th/s in reality).

Does anyone else have this bug?  Could SP-Tech take a look at this?

The latest firmware (2.4.21) has some issues with hashrate and temperature reporting via monitor.php. Previous versions do better, including 2.4.20. We talked about this issue a few pages ago. Zvisha is currently on vacation (1.5 weeks left, IIRC), so it will likely be a while before this issue is fixed.

If you want to downgrade, here's version 2.4.20:

Hi Guys,

We are setting up our miners for monitoring by MultiMiner (it reports to mobile apps and to a cloud based service).

MultiMiner polls the miners with the "devs" command every set period to get an update on the current stats such as temp hash rate and so on.

It works fine with all my other miners, however, my SP30's (firmware 2.4.21) always report a hash rate of around 1Th/s (they are hashing around 4.5Th/s in reality).

Does anyone else have this bug?  Could SP-Tech take a look at this?

Here is an example output
Code:
devs =>
STATUS=S,When=1413316592,Code=9,Msg=1 ASC(s),Description=cgminer 4.6.0|ASC=0,Name=S30,ID=0,Enabled=Y,Status=Alive,Temperature=22.00,MHS av=954914.28,MHS 5s=963736.28,MHS 1m=957312.39,MHS 5m=953443.96,MHS 15m=952928.39,Accepted=23510,Rejected=197,Hardware Errors=1,Utility=31.17,Last Share Pool=0,Last Share Time=1413316592,Total MH=43216675000.0000,Diff1 Work=3020656,Difficulty Accepted=46359200.00000000,Difficulty Rejected=68128.00000000,Last Share Difficulty=2048.00000000,Last Valid Work=1413316591,Device Hardware%=0.0000,Device Rejected%=2.2554,Device Elapsed=45257|

Thanks for any help you may be able to provide on this.

I have something weird going on with one of my SP30's (the only one on firmware 2.4.21 which may be the cause)

Hashing fine at 4.5TH...



However the API is reading the input temperature instead of the output, and it's the wrong speed.



Is there a repository of firmware that we can download so I can roll it back, looked on the website and couldn't see any links, and the manual firmware selection doesn't list older versions

Are the coupons transferable?

yes they are I have $900 or so worth of coupons I will let go for ~700 -800 of bit coin

Is it possible to use more than one coupon per purchase? I might be interested if it is.

Peace  Smiley

You can't use more than one Discount code per order, but you can use multiple gift cards.

You can request they change a discount code to a gift card code, YMMV with regards to whether they will do that or not.

Spondoolies came through with the generous donation of an SP30 to sponsor continued mainline support for cgminer, as did jtoomim with the offer of hosting. Thank you to both. Once remote access is available to the machine I should be able to test code directly on them. I've done some (blind) modifications to the code to try and report real share rate generation based hashrates since there are scenarios I've seen where the device was reporting a high hashrate but not really generating the same number of shares at the pool.

Wow, definitely a + for SP-T!

Fine hardware, excellent support, if it wasn't for the $$$ and that negligible matter with ROI I'd already be a customer.

This is the real hashrate for sp35?
