how much per month will these make in nov/dec? looks like .064 btc in oct at current $449 price thats less than hosting cost. .14 in nov = $63. figures at 15% diff increase, tomorrow looks to be 19% and spondoolies have yet to ship most of the august batch. bigger increases to come. Looks like roadstress is the only one who will not lose thousands on that group buy.

pre orders always seem to be a sure looser

Please explain better the 0.064 btc in oct and 0.14 in nov. Per day? Per month?

I haven't participated in the GB because I was out of money. I hope to participate in a Oct/Nov GB.

Did you not receive an SP30?

What is the hosting cost for a september SP30?

In my DC, an SP30 (3 kW) costs a different amount depending on what term you pay for upfront:

Term_duration	Monthly rate	Total
1 month	$270	$270
3 months	$249	$747
6 months	$228	$1368
12 months	$210	$2520

No setup fees, no VAT.

In the Spondoolies DC, rates are $500 per month or $1200 for 3 months.

You can find other hosting options in the hosting directory and reputation thread here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hw-hosting-directory-reputation-622998

this scheme needs some qualification. For example, what if I pay for three months upfront and then, after a month or two, have to do a RMA back to Spondoolies. What would happen in this case?

Our policy is to charge 50% for reserving the space for you whether or not you actually use it, and 50% for actually using the power. If you buy 3 months of hosting and tell us your machine will arrive on September 20th, but you had the bad luck to have purchased from (e.g.) Black Arrow, and they tell you (and you tell us) "next week" until November 20th (2 months later), then you would have 2 months of hosting left.

We are ordering spare PSUs for SP10s and SP30s, so if the issue is PSU-related, we'll swap your PSU(s) out with our spares and RMA the faulty ones, and have you up and running in about a day. If it's an issue with the miner itself, then you'll have to wait for the RMA to return, and will only pay 50% hosting fees for the duration, unless I take pity on you and waive the 50% space reservation charge.

As I understand, you reserved your spot for 3 months

up front. If you don't use it, or not sure, buy monthly packages. If in a month, you used it ONE day .. it's part of that month. That is, if the reason you RMA it is independent of the hosting conditions. If they damage the equipment due to racking / electrical shock .. that's other discussion.

I suppose you sign a hosting contract. If you don't .. please note that you should.

Definitely, I'm getting old or where I go is too much negotiation for everything and anything. Ages ago you were supposed to buy what was in the store. Take it or leave it prices.

Are you guys going to wait with shipping of our August batch by 28th of August?

You mean the August group buy? That was one of the final batches sold in August. Shortly after the group buy closed, Spondoolies switched over to taking orders for September. Many of the other August orders have already shipped.

This is not how I remember it. The way i remember it, some time AFTER group buy closed, BTC started an upward surge and because of this the rest of August machines sold out faster than usual.

What mess is this you are talking about? I don't know why you were 100% sure they'd announce something today, there's still two weeks left of August. Relax.

Hard-reset brought my SP10 back to life. Thanks Collider and Zvisha for help.

@Zvi: Do you think I have to worry about my miner, or this just happens sometimes?

Thanks again guys, appreciated!

Nothing to worry about. Stuck I2C is something that I have seen happening in our DC every now and then, considering that we have many miners I guess that it happens about once/twice a year per miner. Always resolved by a power cycle, that why that is the first thing I recommended.

Thanks! Keep up the perfect work!

Cheers.

I have a groupbuy sp30 myself and I haven´t bothered asking, as I know the unit will ship when it is produced and ready to go.

I've taken the same view, ordered a couple through the GB ... I trust Sponds on their delivery schedule ...(My previous orders from them were on time) but I have to say ... every now and then ... my cerebral cortex says ... I would like to know Grin

I am saving up for those now.

When do the pre-orders start ? Better hurry up while BTC is worth more than 10 bucks

Pre-orders prolly won't start for at least another two weeks. They won't tell me precisely.

They probably figure they need to clear out the Rockerbox stuff first. I'm looking for better prices on SP30 machines soon. On the other hand, how cheap would they have to be to ROI now with BTC at these prices ?

NVM, just kidding. I heard that BTC was going to spike to USD 10K before Xmas ...

Somehow, I was 100% sure today they'd announce beginning shipments of the RoadStress GroupBuy. Since they didn't, I am pretty convinced this is going to be just like KnC where they ship a few - and then take forever to try to fix all the disasters before shipping the rest.

I am happier each day that I didn't get caught up in this mess. At least these guys learn from their mistakes and we'll see much improvement on the SP50. I am saving up for those now.
