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

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.

I never post about people, but Collider, I have to say you have the brownest nose I have ever seen. Acting that way in the neighborhood I grew up would get your ass kicked. Dude, chill out on the brown nose posts for a bit? They are mostly all just repeating what was said or pushing your nose up SP-TECH's ass further.

1200W will make your PSUs go into thermal overload. When I was using 120V, the best I could get in a cold room was around 1170. I wasn't able to maintain that on both PSUs, though, and not for more than a few hours. The best I could get in a warm room sustained was around 1120.

I'm just going to leave you to argue with yourself, no point wasting my time on you. The last thing I will leave you with is this: Don't compare customers to each other, the fact is that we are in this situation because of SP didn't deliver on their promise of 6TH at 2500W and that's as simple as that. I have nothing against any other person here I am simply voicing my opinion and experience i've had so far. While some people may have had it worst it doesn't mean I am not entitled to say my thoughts, they are free to complain too if they want.

is there a thread that discusses FW upgrades?

Yeah, absolutely nothing unfair. For a guy with a big mouth ordering 20 units, being compensated 45% (9 SP30) with SEPTEMBER units (1st batch), while August buyers with units delivered are being given SP31 vouchers for units shipping in October with only 21% coverage. What worries me is that you still complain about your "potential" losses. For guys like you, there's medication (Benzodiazepine derivatives) which might help with your anxiety issues.
Buy one of these:

Super... for SP and their customers... SP is again standing out ...as BTC mining gear supplier ... Congratulations...

They are the only one ...exemption to validate the rule...Capisco...

Cheers ...and good luck mining,

There is nothing unfair about this it all breaks down to who paid for the miners first, we are all waiting to receive our units regardless of the screw up.

Nope .. no kidding. SP-T said they will service the miners if they don't start up or have PSU issues while they stabilize, and Zvi is  helping everyone with problems as far as I know. Some power supplies were replaced already. What would you want more?

How many have delivered as promised on that replacement and compensation?

Not so much about the "offers" but the "delivery" on that "promise".

Yes, for bitcoin miners..

Some companies offered warranty if units break down or not performing as expected within limited period after delivery.
They promised replacement or compensation...

This is so unfair for the rest of the people who ordered miners here, you better didn't mention it. Now looking at the compensation, the bank info is not for vouchers isn't it?

Warranty...fot Bitcoin miners...

Are you kidding...

ZiG

I forgot what kind of warranty was for SP30s if any?

SP will not refund in Cash, they will refund in Vouchers which to me is useless because I won't want to put money back in mining in the future if this is the same situation I'm going to fine myself in worrying about not reaching ROI. So instead of getting vouchers the added 9 SP30s are there to start mining NOW and not in the future because the future of mining is an uncertain thing, especially when the difficulty keeps going up and the rate keeps going down. So basically the decision was to try and get to ROI and moving to Toom.im hosting was a MUST otherwise I will lose even more.

Roadstress, stop selling your BTC the price is dropping and everything is your fault LOL

how much would you need for the hosting up front ?

Thanks for the tip

I tried 60, the miner seems slighty louder and temps are around 86 85
also increased the voltage from .76 to .79 to see if I could get more hash rate , seems to be stable at 4050 TH

Also noticed a new firmware build , what is in it and should I update the miner ?

Edit
@Zvisha is there any way I could up the max wattage setting to at least 1200 or so ?
