Latest SEC financial filings for BTCS: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1436229/000149315215005382/form10-q.htm

Some interesting points, although these are my interpretations and could be entirely wrong:

1) Now $1.2M in stockholders deficit (Item 1)
2) Mined just $169k in Q3, which is very roughly 1PH
3) At the same time, managed to accrue another $4.1m in "administrative expenses". That's $7.8m in the first 9 months of 2015.
4) And where does most of that go? $6.38m on "Stock based compensation". So at least some of them are doing okay (more in 14)).
5) They held just $61k in digital currencies.
6) Cash flow was -$2.7m, which was cancelled out by "the issuance of Private Placement Units".
7) There was a working capital deficiency of $3.4m
8 ) Seems the Israeli side is also holding things up: "In addition to standard closing conditions, the closing of the Transactions will not occur until the Selling Shareholders receive rulings from the Israeli Tax Authority confirming, among other things, that the Selling Shareholders may defer the payment of applicable Israeli taxes....".

9) They need money:
Quote
Significant uncertainties include, among others, whether the Company will be able to raise the capital it needs to finance its longer term operations and whether such operations, if launched, will enable the Company to sustain operations as a profitable enterprise." ... "The Company will require significant additional capital to sustain its short-term operations and make the investments it needs to execute its longer term business plan. The Company’s existing liquidity is not sufficient to fund its operations and anticipated capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. If the Company attempts to obtain additional debt or equity financing, it cannot provide assurance that such financing will be available to the Company on favorable terms, if at all.

Because of recurring operating losses, net operating cash flow deficits, and an accumulated deficit, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has not made adjustments to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements to reflect the potential effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern."

10) We're not making money
Quote
"The Company expects to incur losses into the foreseeable future as it undertakes its efforts to execute its business plans."

11)
Quote
The Company continues to incur ongoing administrative and other expenses, including public company expenses, in excess of corresponding (non-financing related) revenue. While the Company continues to implement its business strategy, it intends to finance its activities through:" ***my cheeky addition**** "not paying its debts

11)
Quote
On January 23, 2015, the Company purchased 100 Spondoolies S35 digital currency mining servers from Spondoolies Tech Ltd. (“Spondoolies”) for $223,500 (the “Purchase Price”) pursuant to a purchase order agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”).

12) Something looks weird with the Coin Outlet transaction (note 8 ). On March 26th 2015 they purchased an additional 2% equity of Coin Outlet Inc. 5 days later, on March 41st 2015 they decided that the investment is not recoverable due to uncertainties in the BTC price. The price (according to coindesk's index actually rose over that period from $245.01 to $246.99. To me, that doesn't make any sense.

13) Spondoolies received $1.5m of cash on May 12th 2015, yet still won't pay.

14) At least we can line our own pockets with $1m+ a month:
Quote
Stock-based compensation expense was $3,629,804 ... for the three months ended September 30, 2015... . Stock-based compensation expense was $6,383,772 ... for the nine months ended September 30... .

15) Yeah, sure you are.
Quote
"We are dependent on our ability to retain short term financing and ultimately to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis in order to attain profitability".

16) A statement showing that my debt is being declared as within the balance sheets:
Quote
We are not a party to any off balance sheet transactions. We have no guarantees or obligations other than those which arise out of normal business operations.

17) Hmm

I suppose only time will tell,

But do I hold out and wait for new Spondoolies-Tech kit that may not materialise, continue buying used kit, or buy new Bitmain kit but the Bitmain kit looks a pain in the ass to essentially rack mount and isolate the hot and cold sides. The Spondoolies kit is easy as you can just slam it in the racks.

I really do hope that Spondoolies wake up to and see there is a large amount of people practically begging for their kit for all the right reasons, its shit hot stuff.

Anybody know the expected life of the miner SP20 or SP30 assuming I did not overclock? I am trying to buy a miner that can last really long Smiley

Guy/Spondoolies-Tech are you planning to fill this void? people want this type of item, they are hounding you for it, can you not deliver?

Its probably not Guy's ultimate decision any more but BTCS'. They'll be the ones to deal with the SEC anyway.

Repeat - SCAM ALERT - There is no such product as an SP40!
Pay extra caution and look our for incorrect URLs

looks like someone is trying to use peoples wants against them, anyone care to report these sites as a frauds? FBI can look into it, if you willing to be open to who you are with them. (this one has rocked my boat more then any other with making a fake news/report site to complement the scam)

Guy/Spondoolies-Tech are you planning to fill this void? people want this type of item, they are hounding you for it, can you not deliver?
now its fine you got yourselves neck deep in the sp50 construction and filling contracts, but is this company willing to look at the people that want to mine at home?

you've probably been asked this many'a'times, and you probably don't care to answer it...

Its hard work keeping up with this thread  Roll Eyes

Anyway scrolling back a bit I do see the issue with a group buy just due to the large volumes of cash involved, We here are personally in the position to buy 2 SP50's possibly 3 dependant on price.

However I would much prefer to buy "SP40" with essentially blades from the SP50 installed, possibly 1-2 blades per "SP40" (kinda feel dirty using that term since the fake one emerged)

In the mean time I seem to be buying up every SP3x series miner I can get my hands on, kinda would prefer to be buying new kit directly from Spondoolies as second hand kit can be hit and miss and Don't really want to have to go down the S7 route just yet.

And what about SP50? When this product will be produced?

It's already mining I bet,not that we'll ever know.That's a secret BTCS & SPTech will keep as long as possible  Grin


I do not think they are quite there yet. In a presentation on 22nd October Charles Allen only talked in the future tense about deployment of the SP50.

Interesting for those of us not running a huge data center with unlimited power and enough cash not worry about the retail MOQ Sad

Clearly another SCAM

That's impressive!

Fortunately there's no transactions on the address they've posted.

Yeah SP20 is kinda weak to cold air.

I had to heat mine first before starting it when it was cold.

Hehe, my other ones fired up no prob =) But, yeah is weird.

Now, Im wondering is there any replacement fan I can stick in these to make em quieter? Even at 10% FAN they still loud to live within the same room.
My temps are really under control at 10%, only 50C on the on side =P

the connector to their fan is non standard, but somebody was able to get it on ebay or use molex directly to PSU.
Someone also said that Scythe Ultra kaze was able to do the job at least at downclock.
BTW, instead of 10 you can try auto. I am pretty confident that with your temp fan will go to lowest (6) when downclocking to 1200-1220 GH.

Hi all, I have 1 SP20E That will power up, the ethernet lights flicker, but the status lights dont do anything at all, the unit just sits at 100% fan speed and every once in a while I see it try to reboot(at least the ethernet port lights go out then come back on).

Any way to bring this thing back?

there was a discussion (difficult to find at this late hour), but several people used an admittedly strange technique of heating up its insides with a hair dryer (on heat), then it started. i don't know exactly how and why it works. Anyway, give it a shot. I don't remember who first described it, but look for the sunbreak post (I think it was in SP20 thread)

WOW! Thanks a ton for that tip! I just let its intake sit in front of one of my other SP20's exhaust for bout half an hour. Started right up =)
