A curious factoid:
A state of the art SP-30 hashing at ~4.5Th currently produces ~0.076BTC/24hr, which is less than a lowly S1 (0.18th) produced less than 6 mo ago (mid March 2014). Considering that BTC in march was roughly similar in price, it is kind of astonishing. What's next year-a 100Th machine (10-20kw) that cost $20K, but produces 0.05 BTC/day with BTC price stagnating? That would be something...

100TH * 0.25W per GH/s will be consuming ~25KW ...0.25W/GH is VERY optimistic at this moment...

25KWh * $0.10 = $2.50 * 24 = $60 ...per day ... Wink

This is what I called "POWER WALL" ...many months ago...Capisco... Huh

You can NOT pay your electricity by making 0.10BTC per day ...@ $400... or less than $600...PERIOD...

That's it , folks!

1. any news on the "too high voltage" quirk? or is it machine specific?
2. if watchdog is disabled, then if cgminer crashes, Sp-30 would not reboot automatically-is this correct?
many thanks

I have an SP30 that was working fine, but after a couple of days is showing a bad loop; in the ASIC Stats page I see:

Code:
LOOP[5] OFF (no data on loop)
15: disabled (i2c good, no OC)
16: disabled (i2c good, no OC)
17: disabled (i2c good, no OC)
What does this typically mean, and is there a fix? I've update the firmware to 2.3.43 and rebooted, but the problem persists.


Edit:
Can you please open HTTP/SSH port to the machine so we can take a look? I want to see why this happened.
Did you try power cycle of 20 seconds? Please try and update me.

I wanted to take a moment to thank the spondooliestech team for all their hard work and efforts!!!

I received a couple of Spondoolies SP30's today. I racked them up, cabled, plugged them in the wall, and I was off to mining within ten minutes.  AWESOME UNITS!!!  They are spot on for specs and a few a hours after running the new firmware popped up and I performed the updates with perfect precision one unit at a time.  Spondoolies puts a ton of effort into that hardware and engineering. The UI is streamlined and extremely straight forward and easy to navigate.  Spondoolies SP30 - Superbly manufactured and the best in the business!!

Thanks spondooliestech!!!!

I agree with this 100% . What batch where you ?

I just noticed my SP10s have new firmware upgrades, from 1.5.4 to 1.5.6.  I didn't see any change log posted in the Technical Blog or here (unless I missed it?).  What are the changes?

cgminer is upto 4.5, after your make 1.5.6 it has another upgrade available... 1.5.8

Thanks.  Any benefit to using the newer cgminer?  A little faster or more efficient?

Only what Con has said about it


4.4.1 if you are still on it has a failover bug where if you input a pool that is dead at startup you will never failover if the dead pool remains dead at runtime.

They sell it at a loss or shut it off & wait........& lose more money........don't know really,I just want to see BTC mining corps out of the mining game or their power diminished by a large margin.

In a year,I'm pretty sure,at "home miners" will only make up MAYBE 5% of all mined BTC........I'm being very generous with my figures too  Cry

Aren't we there yet? Must be a pretty small amount now.


Not yet,I guess it's around 30% or so ATM......................with Bitmain & Spoondolies & a few others still having good sales to "at home miners",just my guesstamate though  Grin

Wow BTC diff ~ +20% in ~3 days. I thought Guy and RoadStress said it was leveling off ?

BTC @ 392 ? Insane ! WTF ? Is this the end of the world as we know it ?

I'm hoping for $100 or less & lasting at least a month or two,weed out the Corp miners & faint of heart  Grin

Not sure that is a good thing... what do they do with massive amounts of inefficient, non-profitable equipment?

Firesale.

Could be a huge glut and hash rate will unlikely "drop" in that sort of sell off.

What is the solution? there is none I can think of.
Wait until 2016 when the miners reward will halve

Ever since my SP30 GB a lot of people complained about pre-orders, yet SP-Tech seems to do just fine with them. Why can't you accept that? Besides inefficient AM Tubes is there anything else shipping from stock right now?

The only manufacturer worth considering is Bitmain, and they're in between batches. It shouldn't be more than a few days before the next batch is open.

Right now Bitmain is in between batches. Nothing on stock. Read my post again.
