With our price for energy here the SP31 will not even close reach a positive ROI, so my best bet would be the next generation SP50.

I'm really impressed by the Spondoolies-Tech company, they could have owned the market, but with such ridiculous long delivery times and only optimizing current technology it unfortunately is not leading anywhere. But I'm confident that (small scale or private) mining is not over yet, it's just a matter of putting more GH into one box and getting W/GH below 0.5 (off the wall).

Yay, my GB miner is finally up and running it seems. I take back my post that sponds wouldn't be able to ship in August, they narrowly made it after all Smiley

Is anyone here using one of these rigs on a 110V via a convertor or another setup? I do not want to use a hosting service. I want this baby in my hands to pat every once and awhile.

it has been already described that you would lose at least 10% (more likely to ~3.9Th, which is ~13%), so "petting " will cost you ~$7.4 a day currently. Not a biggie.

Could the PSU be swapped out for a 110V with less of a loss than the convertor? 13% is a lot to me. I'm a greedy pet owner.

Ask your wife or GF to use the "sacred" electrical dryer outlet-it is 240V (in US). It did not work for me, though  Wink

They would both say no.... hmmm did I just say that? Tongue

All PSUs run less efficient at 110V compared to 208V+.

Which is only a problem because Spondoolies chose to design a system where the PSU had to be run at 120% capacity. Most other miners run at full speed on 110V.

You can swap the whole miner, not only the PSU. Greed killed Schrödinger's cat.

All PSUs run less efficient at 110V compared to 208V+.

This also means that the same PSU will always produce less maximum 12V current. (which is what your miner needs)
So sadly the answer is no.

You could try and get an electrician to run a 220V line, that should give you the additional hashrate (and a backup 220V line, useable for many other appliances).

DING DING DING. We have a winner. I will contact my electrician to see how much he will charge.

Such a shame you didnt start 18 months earlier, you would have/could have pwned the entire market....
We like challenges.
I am hip.  Let's hear about the new SP50.  SP31 is a mere patch job of an old technology.  We want something to look forward to.  Has the wait list been started yet?

is toomim up for ...sam?
will be interesting to see how it plays out

I don't understand this question.



he (wis-sam) seems to be a potential difficult/demanding customer
with so many machines you never know-someone with 300 Sp-10 defaulted at digital fortress, but it is just an example.

Did the market disappear?

Still going to be a market. I suspect they already pwn the market given the product being produced.

I don't understand this question.

Is it possible to have a drop in the sp10 hosting fee ?

sp10 3 month = 600$  => 1050 Watts =>  0.57 $/Watts/3months
sp30 3 month = 1200$  => 3000 Watts => 0.4 $/Watts/3months

We at Toom.im host SP10s for $390.60 for 3 months.

By the way, an SP10 uses about 1390W. The 1050W figure is the DC rating of the power supply. SP10s are typically run at about 1250W, or about 20% above their rating. (Emerson, the PSU manufacturer, approved this.) When supplying 1250W of DC, the PSU uses about 1390W of AC, for an AC2DC conversion efficiency of about 90%.

Right now the box is hashing on egelius at ~3989 TH VOLTAGE
119/120 front temp 20c rears around 60c

In settings it seems the default watage is capped at 1300 or so on 120v
I wont tweak anything for a day or so to see what hashrarate I can get from factory settings

Anyone have any tips for 120v perf tweaking?

3989 GH/s sounds about right for 120V.

I was able to get better hashrate on 120V when using 2.2.28. I got the performance of my SP30 up to 4150 GH/s on that version by tweaking the PSU limits manually. Zvisha hard-limited the PSU performance to something like 1100W in later versions of the FW, so even though you see 1300W on the settings page, you're not getting it.

On the next difficulty (27B), the extra 500 GH/s you'd get by running on 200+V would earn you about $137/month. This is about half of our hosting fee at Toom.im, where we use 254V. In order for hosting on our 254V to be a worse deal than running it at home, you'd have to get your electricity for less than $0.07/kWh, and you'd have to have free cooling and not have the noise be a problem at all.

Had to go to FedEx depot to pick it up they had to search the truck and they found it yay!

btw what's the default IP address on these ? I have a ton of devices don't know the IP

http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee106/PFC4L1FE/download_zps037bb1aa.jpg

cleaned out all my DHCP resevations and limited the amount to 20 so I could see when a new one got request and still nothing.

It seems that the SP30 is not requesting a new IP , how do I reset the box ?

hard reset worked punching the button on the front

to searing the simple (only ignorant people, ignore people)

IF you ignore what people say, how can you comment on half a conversation without making yourself look like a simpleton?

YOU CANNOT, so you make yourself look simple ... AGAIN, and with such little effort


i will not fill you in on the important missing details because you are not worth the effort.


hopefully someone will quote me so you can catch up with a few more % of whats going on, you dense pleb!


@SPTech - apart from your unfortunate timing & grossly over-confident marketing propaganda, you have produced a very, very decent machine.

Very Well done!!

All in all people really understated the build quality of the hardware and software
I looked at the logs and saw the code where the miner tests each of the 29 asics running them
Through a battery of voltage/high/low freq tests and have to say wow @zavisha  is amazing.

The hardware is so clean and compact I can even forgive the shipping delay now even if it only
Breaks even just the chance to play with hardware and software so meticulously designed was worth it

Great job sp tech , ill definitely use my coupon on an sp31
