Yes, about 10 days

hehe, you are getting excited now you are getting only a 3% reject rate!?

Are the chips on track for late July units delivery?

How long do you think packaging will take?

When I was a kid, we played Duck Duck Grey Duck and had Hot Dish for supper 3 nights a week. And when we were good we had Pop instead of Kool Aid! 

yep Minnesotan...everyone eats a big feast after any funeral (the small marshmellows in jello salad is 'manditory' at every funeral and everyone talks over each other in conversations......(sigh)

Ah a Minnesotan! That would explain your, um... quirkiness. Lol.

No offense meant. I'm originally from that icebox hell myself. But my brain thawed when I went to some tropical beach for vacation and I finally realized, "Why the fuck do people live here?!" and never went back... except for funerals and weddings. Unfortunately nobody I know is getting married but everyone is dying. 

ok i appreciate everyones help....I have come to the conclusions below on the whole power cord issue

I have come to the conclusion I have 2 choices of cords (someone said the units are not likely to come with power

cords (his sp10 did not) because units are ment for a data center ..

Also thanks for the help  PSAHX! one of those problems I could not get my head around...in that I figured they must be sending
power cords with the sp30 and it was just a matter of figuring out which kiind....live and learn...

so this below would work for 120v 20amp circuit  if I wish to run the sp30 as such (which I assume I can) each power supply at 120/20amp circuit (each power supply)

http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-P007-006-Power-5-15P/dp/B0027JRMD0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405244913&sr=8-1&keywords=60320-c13+125v

and this would work should I want to run the Sp30 at 220v (which I assume I can also set it at) using this cable below on 220v/20amp circuits (each power supply)

http://www.amazon.com/Lynn-Electronics-C13620P15A-10F-60320-C13-10-Feet/dp/B0093WFT5C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405244272&sr=8-1&keywords=c13+to+c14+to+620p

I realize there is a possibility of a diff connection type to the actual SP30 box itself (don't know the name) but it looks like this

     _

   _   _    I assume if that is the case i can also find this end and get it with the 2 ends above if need be as a work around if that is the case


thanks after thinking about all this if there are TWO power supplies on the SP30 at around 1250 each I guess there is no reason
not to simply run the two power supplies on a 120v 20amp circuit each (what the heck they can have their own 20amp breaker and the
wire run is under my panel pretty much anyway to the outlets ..even if their own circuit is overkill)

anyway assuming I have a handle on the above all is good now? Thanks for everyone's help on this and the cooling issues....out in the sticks here...

Very cool.
That must have been a fun meeting of minds.

You are not on your own, we will help you here. You just have so much confusing questions... Do it step by step:

1. Decide if you want to run 110V or 220/208V.
2. Do the calculations to figure out how many AMPS you will need.
3. Talk to an electrician, tell him what exactly you need, e.g. "I need 60 AMPS total to feed 4X 15 AMP 220V outlets. How much it will cost me?"
4. Consider again, if you want to run 110 or 220.
5. Pay the electrician, make him do the wiring, panel, subpanel whatever. Do this before your SP30 ships to you.
6. Get the type of your outlet and buy the cord.

OR

Choose a hosting option from here, and forget about everything I wrote above. If you do not have free (or very cheap) electricity, of course

yeah sorry no one else to rant with on this ....this whole bitcoin enterprise would be a lot more fun with some others involved..at the present time
even with the common belief amongst my friends/peers and others...."I'm stupid" to be doing bitcoin..so kinda out on my own all this stuff..

guess the 'shunning is getting to me" will contact spondoolies and/or just wire everything up and do plug last in the wall last I guess...

Searing

p.s. sent a question to spondoolies on this but if I remember right they come with 2 versions of cord..they are both mickey mouse 3 prong but how they
fit in the unit is different...hell maybe I supposed to run the dang SP30 at 120v ...perhaps I am mixing this up with another vendor
anyway thanks for the helps so far espeically on the cooling issues to those who pm'd me

I am not really sure, if I got you right, 'cause my brain hurts, when I read more than one paragraph of your limerick. Sorry, if I sound rude, I really do apologise, but I can't take it anymore, seriously.

Just do the wiring, then you will figure out what kind of outlet you have. From that point on, you will be able to figure out, which power cord you need.

Cheers!

i just called a rep from the elec company i'm in the midwest...NSP or xcel I think it is called now

that is what the rep told me ...someone comes by and looks you have to have like more then your residence would normally use
to get these rates thou

it maybe too much a pain in the ass but when the equip is up/here and running i will follow thru...anyway what i supposedly know so far

Searing


well this is a lot of work just to get a 220v circuit...only reason I want 220v is it is what they recommend as more efficient I guess..so question becomes
do I just need to get the proper cord for the sp30 off amazon...or is this a done deal and they plan on sending a 220v with the sideways plug usa
version with their sp30's?...I guess you can run them at 120v but gonna wire the beastie anyway may as well do what is most efficient etc.

but kinda confused in that I think they said they came with a regular 3 prong plug (mickey mouse plug) so can't see how that is supposed to work
if you want 220v in usa...unless i'm supposed to just get a regular cord instead of the 3 prong cord that supposedly comes
with the sp30? ...ie my problem if I plan to use 220v circuit in usa.....

so basically just a 220v 20 amp circuit for each sp30 power supply is all I'm looking for of a standard 100amp service 1 circuit each may as well they will plug in
below the panel..this is the bottleneck or I missed the memo or something

anyway thus my confusion to add to my confusion I ordered this says it is a 220v circuit but again has 3 prong plug (mickey mouse) in the pic
triplite 220v iso bar...did not see this till after it has been sent it arrives on tuesday

http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-ISOBAR4-220-Protector/dp/B00006HZ4N/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405228756&sr=8-1&keywords=tripp+lite+220v

so I wonder if that has to sent back because is it  for use for plugging into a 220/240v circuit and then changing it for use with 120v reg 3 prong plugs circuit
or is the PIC wrong?

seems kinda stupid to pay 100 bucks to an electrician (min house call) to ask about plugs on the end of a unit that is not here yet? This should be doable
even my my dense self.....

here is that chart again http://wiki.robotz.com/index.php/Electrical_Outlet_Types_of_North_America

perhaps I am supposed to dig up a 'legacy' version I see here 220v for residential use....probably I just need to get the proper
cord for the wall socket I use on my own dime in the USA that seems to be the easiest solution (again unless I missed the memo
and it comes with a 120v mickey mouse 3 prong cord and also a 220v sideways slot version we see here in usa...unsure

anyway it is now a quest to figure it out (in conjunction with the trip lite isobar 240v above which shows mickey mouse plugs...sigh)

Small debt, pictures with Rock Xie of RockMiner:

Oh, if you mean specific outlet type, check out this article.

You have to decide, what type of outlet you are going to use. Look for the max AMPs. Also I do not remember how many units you have ordered, will you be using a PDU or not? It depends on so many things. Are you going to have a sub-panel dedicated to 220V? Or you are going to use the three phase 208V? There are so many variables, that makes very hard to give you an advice.

It would be better to talk to your electrician, or to the person, who is going to run your wiring and figure it out with him. Then, based on your outlet type, you can choose appropriate power cable.

@ Searing ...

Where are you at, buddy...US...I guess...which state...I would like to know how do to apply for "commercial rate"...

I am with  Duke Energy...East Coast...could NOT find this info...

Thanks...

thanks that is what had me confused ...just a standard 3 prong plug cable the ones I looked at menards were had
the other 3 varieties..thanks a simple thing really but using air compressors and other such 220v stuff always
had the 1 blade sideways so I was kinda scratching my head

now just have to turn my (now somewhat open) room in bsmt into my version of a 'wine cellar' with a/c unit
er what do we call such now a 'bitminer cellar" weirdness

pain in the butt this will be (good to have goals keeps me off the street scaring small children with
my mumbling to self have to do this/that/coinbase accnt verify/bsmt wired setup/etc

the men with the nets and the rubber truck would otherwise already have me

Searing




good point will do so ..my train of thought now is to just put the air conditioner in and the fans etc and be ready...the a/c unit may be over kill
but I have a 10k unit given to me just sitting around just get it in now ..even if i don't have to use it ...as a 'fail safe' just in case kinda thing

but yeah the wiring and using some temp sheet rock to fill in some spaces and actually room it out (with cistern 3/4 high wall) almost there and
will have to add door to a sorta incomplete doorframe..

again just in case...air flow will be preferred but still have to get elec to say 3 casement windows 1 for a/c unit and 2 for the fan (hopeful) flow thru
idea

anyway if the a/c is un-needed so be it ..mostly that will be their for insurance and the temp wall/room hack....will not want to mess with stuff
after the Titan and then the sp30 arrives

'supposedly' my (no forced air heat/or a/c in house a boiler) my 100am service (modern 30 slot is it?) panel for the house should work well

and again for those doing the same you need to contact your elec provider they 'can' give commercial rates even if you are in your house and
it is residential (also helpful so they don't look at your elec bill and think you are growing weed in the bsmt with glow lights)

the go buy pop a watt meter on biz related stuff a/c /fans/miners/ latops/ etc and then you can figure out if it is worth going commercial rates

there is NO budget plan you pay month to month and 'fees' are higher but it is likely according to the rep I talked to all in all I will save 3c kwh
off my 15c kwh current bill

also don't forget this trick the elec company 'says' the kwh rate for me residential is .086c kwh when you figure it from the bill/taxes/fees etc
it is almost exactly 0.15c kwh...so remember that

anyway most of you are smart enough to co-locate..me say end of oct/nov it is heat for the house thus why I'm doing this (or so my deluded
mind thinks)

What is your order number ?

The longest lead time part is the ASIC. It has nothing to do with China.
