Yes, but not now - it's 4AM weekend. For now please try SD recovery or manual configuration via ssh.

Thanks. Would you like to just use team viewer instead so I could see everthing, please?

Well, myminer.io is not important if you know your miners IP, so that I guess is not a problem.
Try doing power cycle to the unit a couple of times see if leds blink. If not, do recovery with SD  as explained on our tech blog for SP30. If the main leds respond - please test if you can ping and ssh (root/root) the miner. If you can ssh the miner, you can change edit your wallet "vi /etc/cgminer.conf " and then type "spond-manager start ". The miner should start mining. Then you can type "cat /tmp/asics" to see how it does. This is not a solution to your problem, but this should get your miner running.


If SD recovery didn't help, or the WebUI not working, please open port forwarding to your miners http and ssh and send me the passwords so I can investigate.

About every 5 mins my SP30 restarts MinerGate and I receive the message "The miner is not running or waiting for pool connection." It's updated to the recent 2.3.27.
Does anyone know the reason for it? Pool seems to be working fine.

There is another problem. I plugged in the second miner (192.168.0.5) but myminer.io doesn't seem to be loading anymore so I can't update the firmware because I don't seem to have an access to cgminer status. I go directly via 192.168.0.5 and tyepe the default login & password but the cgminer status page doesn't load or loads only main page sometimes but options are not accessible. The miner seems to be fine. All lights are lit fine etc

For a moment the cgminer status page and I managed to get into firmware update section so I tried updating firmware and I got the message:
"Downloading url:http://firmware.spondoolies-tech.com/release/spon.tar
download fail, rc = 52"


Also what is max tempureture I could push SP-30 into (Back T,B) while still keeping it stable and without damaging the unit (chips)?

You can increase the PSU power manually in the settings page to something larger then actual number (I never seen one capable for more then 1380), and it will learn again.

BTW, after you submit a form you better call fedex international and "submit" your tax id there for a good measure
mine is still stuck, though
I think that they have whatever procedures they have, so calling ahead of time OR bugging them afterwards is NOT advisable.
If only CT would not be selling less desirable miners, I could have ordered from 100 miles away instead.

I'm glad mine came via FedEx...what a PIA dealing with DHL...

I was close to pulling the trigger back in December on these BA units I had an order for 20 X1's but cancelled it due to not being able to get the funds in time to meet batch 1 lol ! how lucky am I.

I did go ahead and buy near 10k worth of GPUs for scypt though to increase my farm.  : at least I was able to recoup those via eBay after they stopped making me $$

Don't feel too bad :

Dealt with this crap on my SP30 order the item shipped from Israel to the US in one freaking day and has been help up in customs for two days.  I had to email what is called a customs form 50 with my taxID/SSN and address.  Basically information they already had.  Then the FDA decided to also hold it another 12 more hours and the finally released it at 3.30 am today. 

Guess what lass a$$ FedEx now tells me it missed the morning sort even after they had already got the clearance at the 3.30am release.  So now I am looking at a Tuesday deliver for an item that was shipped with $300 two day intnl shipping.   

So no hashing for me over the weekend before DIF goes up to 27k that's almost $240 in lost fiat earnings basically .5BTC I could have earned.  I asked them to request Saturday deliver and still have heard nothing yet WTF.  FEDEX sux!!!

Either I will contact billing over the weekend and bitch and moan for a refund or something on the shipping and then try and get it credited to me by the hardware vendor.

long short calling FedEx is a waste of time they do stuff at their own pace.  I already knew they needed this info on Wednesday and phoned in the info , requested the form etc. but they still did not submit anything until the person that processes international orders in Memphis TN (stupid lazy southerners) called me at 8am Thursday to tell me what I already know : my item was being held by customs.  and that the needed the import form.

I emailed it to her within 45 mins and she claims she submitted it but the item was not released by customs till 3.30 am.

Its a clusterfuck bro, if not for the rising DIFF I could handle it in a relatively sane fashion but like the rest of us I'm in a race against time to ROI.

In my experience those problems are intentionally caused by the firmware, which reads "OEM ID" field through the I2C bus. While I don't recall the details anymore, those are somewhat easily fixable by reflashing the PSU "OEM ID" or changing the firmware. The details probably still can be found on Internet when searching for the information about Sun Microsystems server hardware and how to break out of the Oracle (and others) service contracts on hardware while maintaining software service contracts.

In this case it may be easier to pressure Spondoolies into releasing the unlocked firmware.

It was yesterday actually, and I'm happy and have seen some good hashing results given that these machines need 24hrs to settle down.

jtoomim and the team responded very quickly, even popped down to their local Fedex to collect my miners after a failed delivery - can't ask for more than that, I really appreciated the service!

OK - that seems cool.  I have been able to run them for a long time now (about 12 hours) with no further problems.  But auto reset didn't happen.  I had to power cycle it manually. 

However, in 30 days it will be much cooler around here.  Can I do a new learn cycle then?  I'd hate to spend the winter with the PSUs optimized for Summer.  We've got a delta of about +30C here

We at http://Toom.im have been extremely busy for the last week and change, so I apologize for not being more communicative and for getting behind on responding to emails.

By the way, it's Toomim, not Toomin. It's important to spell it correctly, or else you go to a jewelry website in India. We have a tricky name. So sorry.

DevonMiner's machines arrived the day before yesterday and are hashing at 4455 and 4558 GH/s.

We had 6 other SP30s from the group buy arrive today.

Our 37 units from the group buy have also shipped, as of yesterday. We expect them early next week, along with a few other GB SP30s.

We had an issue with an SP10 power supply failing yesterday morning. Failing power supplies is to be expected on occasion, so no surprise. We didn't have any replacement power supplies from Spondoolies in stock yet, but we did have a few DS1050-3 and DS1200-3 PSUs from Emerson (that's the model number used in the SP10 and SP30, respectively) that I bought on Ebay. Oddly, those ebay power supplies didn't work in the SP10. It appears that the 5V connection isn't being made (no CPU, serial communication, LEDs on ethernet), but the 12V connection is working (fans run). However, the power supplies do work in my SP30 just fine, probably since the SP30 shares the 5V connection between the two PSUs, and one PSU's 5V rail is plenty. My SP30's PSU works fine in the SP10, so what I did was I moved my SP30s PSU to the troubled SP10, and put one of the ebay DS1200-3 PSUs in my SP30. We should have some real Spondoolies-approved spare PSUs next week to make this kind of thing unnecessary.

WARNING: There are some serious issues with the I2C interface in most Emerson PSUs. I happened to get a couple off of ebay that did not have these issues. There is a way to get them to work, but it is in no way sanctioned by Spondoolies Tech, and Zvi will probably become moderately irate with me for mentioning publicly that it exists. As a bare minimum, make sure to limit your PSUs to something absurdly low (like 1000W) before attempting any PSU shenanigans. You should also probably just not try it at all unless you need some more bricks.

In other news, we also received our first X-3 today. The customer paid over $5k for this one in November, expecting a February 24th shipment date. One of the hashing units is only running at about 700 GH/s instead of 1.1 TH/s, probably due to a heatsink dislodged during shipping--I'll try to fix this tonight. Each hashing unit has a touchscreen LCD on the front running Android. You can literally browse the web with your mining rig. It's mildly amusing. Each hashing unit hashes at 1/4 the rate of an SP30 in 50% more space while consuming about 25% more power per GH/s. But hey, at least they shipped.

I'm expecting for the "official" bill from them too. What I expect is close to 800USD here, and this was one of the reasons I was happy with the compensation offered. DHL called me yesterday to tell me that "I need a broker" to import the stuff. Of course they have brokerage fees, and it is them who determine the equipment classification based on the goods value, origin, type. Based on that, you get to pay the customs fees. Then, they also collect any gvt taxes you owe for importing the goods.

Practically you can't pick up or they don't deliver your package if they don't release it from customs (i.e. you paid your duty). They're not the quickest here, nor the slowest. Hopefully they'll send my bill in time, or I'll be waiting for the package pick-up for days (labor day weekend .. yeah baby).

The orange blinking LEDs will be common at first. It indicates a PSU failure of some sort or another. The SP30 is designed to push the PSUs to the point of thermal failure, then remember where that was, and push it slightly less hard next time.

With the Emerson PSUs (everything that's been shipped so far, AFAIK), the PSUs will usually automatically recover after about 20 seconds. Occasionally they don't. I've seen one fail to automatically recover once. In that case, a hard power cycle (unplugging the affected PSU, waiting 30 seconds for it to cool down, then plugging it back in) fixed it. That PSU has had no problems since.

Got it. Thanks!
I think for customers who don't check the forum every day it would be helpful if this information was emailed out or posted on your company blog.

Regardless, I appreciate the quality of service so far.

Thanks for the quick response. The status is correct. My only question is when can I expect them to go online.
