That is making this more, not less confusing for me. Basically, you are saying that during installation (registration) you can call it whatever-this makes it worse than I thought, actually.
Here is analogy from another field. Say, i am a patient who wants genetic analysis done for me. It is important to get MY analysis, not some other fellow.
Yet, i give my DNA sample to the lab and have no control of it afterwards. I better be sure that lab does not mix patient's samples and is accurate in analysis.
back to mining-it is of first importance for remote owner to have a firmware (not programmable) machine ID. Is it there or not?
EDit: saw your post, so this code
is where device ID is and it is in FW, not SW, correct?

SEE https://github.com/Spondoolies-Tech/minepeon/blob/Spond0.1/etc/cron.d/hourly/pandp_register.sh


board_id(){
   EEPROM_DEVICE=/sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0050/eeprom
   board_id=`dd bs=12 skip=7 count=1 if=$EEPROM_DEVICE 2>/dev/null`
}

The ID is part of the registration script. Keep the unit registered, and you can track it after.

I would like to have this answered too since it was not explained yet, except a small blurb about serial number physically on machine, which is meaningless for the remote owner. ID of the machine once logged in that matches the serial number send by email to owner (not hosting provider)-is it there and in what fashion?

Lol. The article makes it sound like the topic is rocket science just to make you download and run their tool. It is actually relatively easy to compute by hand. If you have 7 Amps in AB and 7 Amps in BC the combined Phase B current is 12.1 Amps.

Thanks for your explanation I believe I'll be hosting with you. I emailed the information to [email protected] so all information is in there please check again. If you couldn't find let me know and I'll resend to you again.

I will have this issue too when my machine will be delivered to the hosting provider; It is important to be sure that we are on the right machine. Confusion may happened; and some machines have issues. Tracking them is important. And we can expect too, and I hope so, this is common with electronic manufacturing, the production will be more mature on September, and we can expect to see a slight and positive differences on the delivered machines (SMD resistor values adjusted and so on, better decoupling..).

Is the number sent to the owner when the delivery begins ?
Is there an eeprom on the machine that can be checked once logged ?

There might have been a misunderstanding here.

Everybody has been offered compensation by spondoolies, but spondoolies will start contacting people after next week about their different choices of compensation.

BY THE WAY, Coindesk has mentioned SP31 in their article but they wrote incorrect 1500 watts instead 3000 watts on the wall.

That's nice that they offered you compensation because most us us have been offered nothing yet...
I guess big orders have priority over "meaningless" small orders

Yes but Innosilicom mostly produces scrypt units. Have you got any info/news about their btc farms?

They have been definitely working on different chip desing already

This is incorrect, see this article:

thanks for the video !
And I confirm, as early customer -1st -that there were some downtime (while the infrastructure is not finished yet) with full support for bringing up the machine and tuning them (SP30). We need more of this kind of datacenter and more of people like this !

Seems that spondoolies's side effect make appears some new business model !

Very professional work!

Europeans loved it, Americans probably hated it as they had Google open to convert all the numbers you gave to imperial :p

Will definitely host with you my new miners.

Looks cool

Edit:
Increase your capacity. Build it and they'll come. Thousands of SP30, SP31, ...

September's SP30 are 4.5 TH/s +- 5% on 220V
You should have gotten the newsletter: http://www.spondoolies-tech.com/blogs/news/14979953-introducing-the-sp30

We'll contact all the customers during next week with the various compensation options, based on preserving the $/GHs ratio and compensating for the missing GHs

Video of our DC, with a bit of SP30 and SP10 action at around 3m00s.

This was addressed about one month ago. Read this, and let us know if you have any further questions.

Our prices are listed on our website, http://toom.im. As far as I know, they are the best prices offered by anyone who currently has capacity. For 3 month terms (paid in advance), 29 SP30s would cost $21663 for 3 months, or $7221/month, or $249/SP30/month. We also have rates for 12-month terms ($210/mo each), 6 months, and 1 month. We do not offer bulk discounts as a matter of principle -- we really want Bitcoin mining to be decentralized.

We can accommodate your 20 or 25 or 29 SP30s. Not a problem. It would be nice to know how many you actually have on order, though.

We update firmware as often as you want us to. We watch over your machines and will usually notice when something is wrong before you do. I'm a decent programmer, and I also hire other decent programmers, and we'll be deploying some tools (or possibly Hashrabbit's) to monitor your machines and the datacenter. Spondoolies is sending me the monitoring software they use in their DC, but I suspect we'll be able to improve upon it, since hosting machines is our core competency.

We do not currently intend to compensate miners for downtime. We will provide refunds on our monthly fees if we fall below 98% uptime. I expect our uptime to be in the mid- to high 99% range starting in September. (Our early adopter customers have had to put up with about 10 hours so far of planned downtime as we finish our facility.)

We will keep spare power supplies on hand in case of PSU failure. We coordinate closely with Spondoolies for SSH support during software and firmware issues that we can't fix ourselves. Collider can attest to this -- he had a stuck FPGA issue a while ago that we were able to fix within a few hours with Zvi's help.

Our cooling system is pretty good. You should expect slightly (maybe ~0.5-2%, still need more data) higher hashrates in our DC during the summer than in most other DCs, including Spondoolies. Once the fall/winter arrives, it should get even better. I'm editing and uploading a video to Youtube now about this; I'll post a link soon.

By the way, I haven't received any emails from you yet. Please make sure you sent it to the right address, and maybe try PMing me too. You can use [email protected], [email protected], or [email protected].

Good for you, but do you have 20, 25 or 29 machines on September batch 1 order? The number seems to grow from one post to another.
SPT has machines in reserve/cancelled? Otherwise, I cannot see how this is possible.

There is no need to red-post the spondoolies thread to get the attention of jtoomim.

If you want a quick reply, emailing or skyping should be perfectly sufficient.


That being said, I am sure they will do their very best to give you a good hosting experience.
