Why don't you ask SP to sell you 29 x SP30s and that you'll pay for them in 6 months let's see how that will work out for you.

Why don't you ask SP to sell you 29 x SP30s and that you'll pay for them in 6 months let's see how that will work out for you. The reason I switched to Toom.im hosting was because at that hosting rate with SP I would lose for sure 100%. So switching to Toom.im was the natural thing to do to minimize the loss and expenses in order to get as close to the ROI as possible. Of course SP themselves suggested to do that, which of course is good advise because paying $500 a month for 1 miner is just something that's not going to happen. Yes I agree that I end up with 10TH more but that's at the cost of an extra 14,500 Watts altogether.

Anyway we will see in 6-12 months time, I hope I am wrong and that I can get my money back. Keep in mind that people aren't support to worry about only breaking even, if you took that money and bought shares in a company or did some other investment you could make a nice profit instead of being in a situation of simple trying to get your money back from mining.

I never post about people, but Collider, I have to say you have the brownest nose I have ever seen.

Wow, more bitching and now this time it's about bitchers... muted.

Just real tired of reading 20 pages of bitching and complaining and then soon as someone gets their hardware they wanna go back to kissing ass. Sorry, but ya'll sound like a bunch of women in here. And pardon me if there really is any women, but from all bullshit I've read in the past 20 pages I don't think so.

Please stop complaining. You clearly don't realize how bad that makes you look. After drawing the line you paid for 120Th/s and you were expecting a $48,000 bill for keeping them running for 6 months. NOW you got 130Th/s and you are expecting a $45,000 bill for keeping them running for 6 months. You got more hashpower with a lower power bill and you still consider yourself the victim here? Really?


I am willing to buy them, but I will give you the money in exactly  6 months from our agreement. If you really believe that you will never get your money back then this offer should be good. I am open to escrow and to any other method/documents that will make you feel safe regarding this deal. The miners can be kept by jtoomim DC/possession.

Again I'm tired of explaining this to people like you Roadstress... If we all got a 6TH miner with 2500W we will get ROI without issues but now that we have 4.5TH with 3000W that is what has made it hard. I invested $125,900 USD based on the promise SP gave of 6TH at 2500W, and now because they did not deliver on that promise I am at risk of losing my investment. Several factors are involved that may result in us SP30 owners getting ROI but that is something that is beyond the control of customers or SP, so basically now it's a big gamble. We would have been better off just buying BTC directly rather than trying to mine it.

Unless you are willing to buy the 29 x SP30 miners at the cost I bought them, pay for hosting and add shipping you have NO right to belittle what I'm saying.

Correct. Since you seem to pay attention please read this:


So he invested money a couple of months ago while knowing that the future of mining is an uncertain thing and now he is whining that he won't get his ROI only because of SP-Tech. Never his fault or his bad predictions. It's always someone else fault.

 It's always someone else fault.

If I am reading this right SPTech gave him 9 more SP30's As compensation?

...because the future of mining is an uncertain thing, especially when the difficulty keeps going up and the rate keeps going down....

this guy is even bragging about it...

Yeah I did not really want to get a refund for the august GB order (just sent in my bank info to spondoolies for the refund as they are ready to send it) but man I wanted one as a home miner and an SP30 bad...bad..bad...then found out about ...the noise issue...the power went up....and me at 15c/kwh it made no sense..so then I dumped 1800 usd for the 6 months hosting....(saving $194 over my mining at
home in elec costs)....so thought I was pretty much stuck..no refund...forced to chase GB hosting in order to
at least break even on electricity and the noise issue such..and alas ... no refund option I thought just gonna have to lump it
.....cross fingers my 100amp elec panel was adequate vs me paying $2.5k for a 200 amp re-do.....ah the joys of bitcoin and pre-oders and being a miner...

..then spondoolies (Guy) on this thread said GB users could get a refund...likely because the GB did not meet the specs hash
and power usage wise ....had to read that a few times to make sure it was frigging real....and I grabbed it....kinda desperately I might add....... as a home miner type I was already
well out of my depth with what spondoolies kept recommending as a commercial unit that should be hosted as such and me trying (failing)
to morph it into a home miner......then punting it back to Aug GB hosting...etc

Really like the company..but expected (my mistake I might add) that I could somehow run this beastie at home..but with the hash down from 6TH to 4.5TH and up
in watts from 2500 to 3000 watts...and of course then I find out about the noise issue (got a cheap decibel meter on amazon 25 bucks ..amazing how loud 69db can
be (my canister vac cleaner is 69.3db) with the basement windows open....dogs bark..... neighbors inquire..it did not bode well... sheesh)

so....really like the company...was not really enthused about being a 'hosted miner' so hell I took the offered refund with gratitude .....alas I still lust
after their machines..but have to grow up and face the fact home mining is likely dead after this year....it frigging makes no sense in my circumstances...although
this had to be beat into my head

so imho looks to me (esp at BTC price point of $475 usd today) that I seem to be out of the home mining biz....btc mining is going/has gone whatever commercial...

always the last guy to get the joke don't ya know..duh... (do have a non ROI KNC Titan coming so the joke is still on me..that truly is no refund...oh well)

so anyway unless I get fired up about a pre-order to host someplace....I guess I'm out of the miner game...if for some reason/miracle spondoolies makes something
I would be comfortable with in the future I'd buy it....but the trend is commercial ..and I will just have to suck it up like the GPU guys had to do when ASIC's came
along and move on...

(move on ..not big on hosting miners....cloud mining...nor the GAWminer hashnet whatever....so....frack....looks like www.coinbase.com is the way to go..just frigging
buy con..argh.....especially if BTC keeps dropping...boring....no whirly soothing sounds..no pretty LCD lights...no comfort in babysitting the beast every day and watching it hash ...

a lost art I guess..

anyway spondoolies came thru on the refund and again I'm grateful......just gonna have to use my NON ROI KNC Titan (no refund)  for good....start a gang of NON ROI Titans to launch
51% attacks against new sh*ty alt coins etc....get some spandex and a cape...make a secret lair for meetings..yeah theres the ticket....should be able to run them pretty lcd lights on
that beast a long long time w/o worrying about pesky ROI

so it goes

thanks again Guy and Spondoolies ....I appreciate the refund offer ..you did not have to make such....I am grateful and will try to herd some business your way if I'm asked
to make up for the refund to myself....I should be able to pull that much off within the next 1/2 year....

thanks again

Zvisha what goodies are in the SP30 2.3.30 update it is prompting me to install?

Can you implement that in the SP10 as well? I always hate doing "live" firmware upgrades, especially if there is no fail back built in. I've bricked enough hardware in my time using "live" or "online" firmware upgrades. I'll always opt for doing it manually with a local file.
Thanks.

Mate if the promise of 6TH and 2500W was delivered no one will be complaining about anything, even if it was pre-order as long as they received what they paid for in the time they paid for it. Now we are stuck with paying more hosting fees due to extra power consumption and getting less mining speed as well which means more expenses and less income. I suggest you think about what you are saying before belittling what others have to say. P.S. You don't see me whining that the rate is dropping and we're screwed even more, that is not SP's fault but what is SP's fault is what I pointed out.

So if SP wanted to keep their customers happy they should give a better compensation that will allow for us to at least get our ROI so that we don't lose and just MAYBE some of us will consider buying future products from them, but after my experience I don't think I will be doing any pre-order from them, so SP you should try hard and deliver from stock for your SP50 otherwise you will lose a lot of business.

I have a right to share my experiences because I paid a lot of $$$ and I've been inconvenienced by the seller so people need to understand this and listen to customers' testimonials and stop bitching about it's the customer's fault, it is NOT the customer's fault.
