Yes, because if they can't they wouldnt buy.

The SP20 is a retail level product introduced at a time when retail level mining is quickly becoming a thing of the past, except for those with free electricity or
those willing to take a haircut on the 'investment'. It'll probably be popular in countries with currency controls.

I live in a country with strict monetary control (Venezuela), almost free electricity (0.002Kwh) and I'm not buying!!!!

Well gosh, there goes that theory. So why do people buy something for 2.5 BTC that is worth 1.3 BTC ?

Answer: because they can ?

Yes, you are right. I think I will stick to SP31

Which is great for those that already got a coupon, for those still waiting there is no SP31 any more.

Gosh Guy, that sounds familiar !
Back at you  Wink

~L)L~

Nice touch on the $1190 Guy. Almost $1199, but not quite. I presume that is an inducement ?

Me neither.... well if bitcoin gets to 1200$ and price stay the same, maybe...

So it's speculative BS just like before. Let us know when you have some real world numbers.
Not speculative at all. It's working piece of silicon with known and understood production tweak.

Yeah at that price point even with my PSU's I have in hand the SP20 wont work for me especially since I can't use any previous discounts...

So anyways about a week ago I placed an order for a sp31 and I was unable to apply any coupon code since I still have not recived one

on the 5th I got this email from sales

Dear Ola,

We will issue your coupon Sunday. You will receive an e-mail with the coupon number to apply to your October SP31 purchase.

Regards,
 Barbara

I have just noticed that you have SP35 for sale.
I have got an order for SP31 which I applied my compensation to but I have not transfered money yet.
Would it be possible to exchange this compensation for new code for SP35 and cancel the old order?

Sp31 was a much better deal. In Sp-35 you have just 10% increase in hashing, but 20% increase in power.
Hashing also guaranteed +/-10% instead of 5% for prior versions, so if your Sp-35 produces 5.401Th, it would be within parameters.
In addition, it would probably ship about a month after Sp-31, so another 20-30% of effective hashing rate off.

In fact, GB is by far was the best deal and is the equivalent of ~7-9Th miner at the end of November.

Yes, you are right. I think I will stick to SP31

Sp31 was a much better deal. In Sp-35 you have just 10% increase in hashing, but 15-16% increase in power.

Also, it seems that SP35 consumes more power on average than SP31.

SP31:  5500 GH/S / 3000W = 1.833 GH/W
SP35   6000 GH/S / 3500W = 1.714 GH/W

Zvisha, help! My SP3x  is confused .. it thinks that it has 2 TOP PSUs after the upgrade to 2.3.43 / 2.3.44 !!

It's not confused, it's just bi-top-curious (it's just a typo, don't warry). Interesting, BTW, that the first top PSU got such a low watt limit. Try setting it to 1350 again in settings and see what will it learn - maybe it learned 1295 by mistake.

Just ran the figures, and this won't even make half of its cost back before power costs more than the coins generated (at 0.15 cents per kWh). Literally four to five months of slight profit then nothing.

Very bad deal, even if you had solar power it would still take 10 months plus to get cost back, and even then best to switch off over night :p

Really gutted, I was hoping to buy one of these....thought it may sneak under $1000 or maybe around $800, seeing as no psu to increase the cost and shipping weight.

SP20: 1.7 TH/s, 2.5 BTC, ships late Oct, shipping cost not included.
S3: 1.8 TH/s (4x450), 2.3 BTC, ships late Sep, world-wide shipping cost included.

The S3 will mine nearly 1 BTC before the SP20 even ships. That puts the net price like this:

SP20: 2.5 BTC+shipping
S3: 1.3 BTC

The SP20 is twice as expensive!

If you guys just sold from stock I would replace all 8th of my current miners today with the new SP20's. Looks like a winner, I look forward to seeing in the wild.
