Order #127X.
Got my tracking info.
Hope they get to Washington by Friday!

WTF!

I am #121X and I still have not even got the email regarding the compensation... forget about tracking... um order queue much?
how quickly did you pay?

I transferred the full amount the day after the 0.1BTC deposit was paid. Not sure how many days it took to end up in their account.

That should not matter anyway! It was made very clear in the GB that the shipping queue would be in the order of the 0.1 BTC deposit that was sent to Roadstress not when the full amount cleared.

Come on ST are you shipping out of order?!? And still no email in regards to compensation or shipping yet... Am I like the last person from the GB they are going to contact?

With that said I challenge anyone to show me a scenario where an SP31 is the best option.

From where can you buy AM Tube at that price?

You really should give this up before you embarrass yourself further. You made a statement designed to demean the ST chip against a competitors without explaining the tech behind the apparent 'better' performance from the latter. That's not what good engineers do, they can only compare two devices by giving them the same operating conditions or by explaining how results come about from testing. Lower power consumption does not equate to higher efficiency, I don't have the motivation to explain it to you, so you'll have to work it out for yourself.

As for W/GH and J/GH, they are NOT the same. I would  gladly explain to you if I thought you might be capable of understanding what I said, but you clearly won't. Watts are a measure of power, Joules of energy. They are NOT the same, although again it's amusing that you think you can argue that they are.

Yes, W/gh/s is a rate and J/gh is a quantity but they are always the same number.

Please do explain how a miner can be 1 J/gh while simultaneously being something other than 1 W/gh/s.

Anyways it doesn't even matter because bitfury never used J/gh or claimed lower power consumption, you simply made that part up along with nearly everything else you've said.

0.596 V, 96 Mhz, 0.725 Amps, 0.43 W, 100 tasks sent, 143 solutions got, COP is 0.986, Ideal 1.12 Gh/s, Real 1.1 Gh/s, 0.39 W / Gh/s

I have no interest in what you buy of from whom but I'll be damned if I'll sit back and watch amateurs use misinformation to try to put down the technology of good companies that might pose a threat to their interests. I've read quite a lot of your comments about several companies, not much constructive criticism or support in there, is there? Not a lot of criticism of AM either, funnily enough, but I guess you feel you don't have to as they're going to 'crush' the competition, eh? I have the distinct feeling that you're going to regret ever having said that.

I never said AM will crush the competition, I said that that was their goal when you spouted off nonsense about how their goal was to distribute the hashrate.

I've also never tried to put down the technology of a good company. My only problem with spondoolies is the preorders. End of story.

While I'm writing can I also remind you that you haven't as yet done the ROI comparison between the AM solution and the SP30 I suggested? I'd really love to see it and I'll bet a lot of other would too, so get busy.

Didn't want to make this a debate about AM but if you insist:

SP31

AM tube

S3+

With that said I challenge anyone to show me a scenario where an SP31 is the best option.

The Bitfury chip may be able to run at 0.38 JOULES/GH, not watts/GH, it's a measure of energy, not power, (just another little detail which shows up your lack of knowledge) and their chip runs in a mode call Sub Threshold where is sacrifices speed for lower energy per GH by using a lower supply voltage than normal. I'm sure that the ST guys and any other competent designers will confirm that their chips could run at much lower J/GH figures if they ramp down the voltage.

The trouble is with this scenario - and read this carefully here because you might have considerable difficulty in understanding it - is that the lower voltage makes the chip run slower, a lot slower. To get the same number of GH/second as a full voltage chip you need more chips, thus making the advantage of low energy/GH useless.

Did I say you should expect more hashrate when undervolting/underclocking? I thought that much was assumed. Does the lowered hashrate change the fact that a 55nm chip is still the most efficient chip to date?

It's amusing that you insult my lack of knowledge and then suggest that there is a difference between measuring w/gh and j/gh. 1 W(J/s)/GH = 1 J/s/GH.

You say the reason you want to know about compensation is so you can make informed decisions about whether to buy from ST in the future. This is rubbish, you simply want to make trouble for a competitor in whatever way you can, but you wrap it up in 'concerns' and criticism to try to get the community wound up.

So just because I own a very small amount of AM shares, my opinion is automatically void because obviously I'm a shill? If looked at my posts you would find I support plenty of companies which are not AM. I've said it before and will say it again, I would support SPtech if they would just drop the preorders.

I'm not lying when I say I would buy from SPtech in the future. They have the best support and great hardware. But at current prices there is no chance.

I have the distinct feeling that you're going to regret ever having said that.

From now on, why don't you leave the technical stuff to the grown ups and stick to what you do best - entertainment?

To the Spondoolies people, sorry for taking up space in your thread. I'm sure you have a lot on your plate at the moment but what you don't need is opportunists using this situation to push their own agendas.

Speaking for myself "taking up the space" was well justified and  I hope others will feel the same too. Yes, I too would like to see his ROI comparison that you challenged him with but I doubt he will, he seems to have met his match, thanks to you.

Order 121x here, no email yet. But I paid a bit late, within 2-3 days of ordering I believe, via bank transfer.

Order #127X.
Got my tracking info.
Hope they get to Washington by Friday!

how exactly they determine the order, i wonder?
I have order 11XX, but did not receive any email. One day extra in shipping could mean 3 extra days delayed because of Sat, Sunday and labor day Monday.
I would like to hear why orders with later numbers are being emailed/shipped first.

Mine is also scheduled for a Thursday delivery so technically I get my unit in aug but not really..

As I understand it, it isn't the order number, but the payment order that they ship by.

There is a God up there ..

I got my tracking as well from the invoice it
Looks like they marked Down the units to 3700

So we should be getting refunds of 4500 - 3700
I.e $800 thats better than I expected I guess.

Is that what it said on the fedex tracking site? or did you call in??
Mine is also going to Toomin..

That's what the fedex site says.



Well that's bull.. I'm getting it 6 days later and it's being sent to the same location..

That's a loss of over 2 BTC for me at current diffculty.

Some chump didn't get one of my jokes.  I was messin' with a guy about the private key because he asked a dumb question.  So this guy goes on a rampage and diss's me because he thinks I was trying to scam the guy.

Actually, I kind-of like the red ink.  It looks pretty cool and goes well with my reputation around here.  It's OK if you go on there and give me another ding or two.  Make some shit up!  Hope it is funny.

Haha - right on.   I will give you a break on that one Smiley

Same here, just received confirmation from Sponds that my GB machines have shipped along with tracking info  Grin
Estimated delivery date Wednesday September 3rd -_-

Mine going to Toomin Bros, delivery confirmed by FedEx for Thursday 28th August ... thanks to everyone at Spondoolies, it might be the last week in August, but you have kept to your schedule, appreciated.

order #118x - received shipping confirmation today.
Hey! wtf?  I didn't receive anything.  Aren't you guys going to send me an SP30?  I made a lot of jokes and kept this thread funny and interesting all during the wait period.  I think I deserve a free one for that right?  Whatda ya say Guy?  Kick me down a bonus - yo?



What is with your trust level there bro?
