Howdy folks!

Some of you may remember how I lost a lot of BTC by sending it to a scammer who was posing as Spondoolies Tech here on Bitcointalk. While I will never get those coins back, I wanted to share an update: Guy from Spondoolies looked into the situation and made a very generous offer to offset a large percentage of the loss. What kind of company sacrifices their profits on their extremely sought after machines to make a terrible situation better?

Spondoolies does.

While I cannot reveal the exact details I can assure you that it was the kindest thing a company has ever done for me. They didn't have to do anything at all, as it was my fault for sending the coin to some scammer. But they helped me tremendously and that kind of compassion for customers is very rare. When I see how customers are treated by other companies in this market I felt my story had to be told.

I'm so overwhelmed by their kindness that I thought the community should know and I pledge to only buy Spondoolies equipment going forward.

Expectations dramatically exceeded. Kudos, Guy and Spondoolies-Tech. You guys are the very best, and I mean that sincerely.

Nice! Apologies for seeing right through this ruse.

Agreed, I've only seen that sort of thing happen once before and it does wonders for the confidence from the buyers.

Good to see Guy deliver once again.

9 BTC for 6TH/s in mid-July or 8.4 BTC for 6TH/s in mid-september.. hmm tough one... NOT

Sorry SP30 going to need to dump a few grand before this is a deal.

I think by summer 2015 the difficulty will be about 150G

You cannot do estimations of future difficulty without price speculation, as it is the main factor driving difficulty besides (maximum) production capacity (which would adjust over one year).

Basically, future difficulty will be something like:

BTCprice*efficiency*electricity price(including a small premium for miners)
(not a real equation, but including the main factors)

Everybody knows that price speculation is atleast as much pure voody as difficulty speculation (over a longer timeframe).

Sure. Let's have a 0.1 BTC bet. You bet on your desired difficulty at the end of June and I win if it's less and you win if it's more.

If the bitcoin difficulty is more than 300 billion at midnight on June 30, 2015 - I win.
Otherwise - you win.
Escrow? winner pays?

EDIT: accidentally a word

So if the difficulty is equal or more than 300 billion you win. If it's less than 300 billion then I win. We have a deal! Winner pays 0.1 BTC to the loser.

I will accept any escrow even if for this low amount I don't think it's needed.

Just for the record. RoadStress never put up his end of the bet. He seems to have fallen off the face of the earth - maybe trying to get a refund on his SP30 pre-order(s). Shocked

It was the weekend - i expect roadstress will back up his bet.

personally, I would guess that difficulty on June 30, 2015 will be about 420 Billion. I think we will hit 300 Billion about 1.5 months earlier

I think the 40% spikes we saw in Oct/Nov are the 20-25% spikes we will see this month. Then it will settle down to 10% reducing to single digits. Then there will be another spike when the more efficient companies put out 20/14nm but again it won't be as much maybe 15-20% and it will settle down again in the long run.

I don't think you can say using a calculator that it will be 20% increases going forwards for X months.

Oh sure, that $1.13 per day will really add up fast. Roll Eyes

It's not worth unplugging your machine for 10 minutes for that.

He isn´t unplugging it, the DC is upgrading their cooling system.
A 4% free performance increase is always nice, don´t you think?

Obviously shipping it to a different location for such a small increase is a bad idea.
Shipping it to the right facility in the first place (assuming smaller than 4% hosting cost difference) would be a good one though.

Of course not. I just don't want you to get your expectations too high, spend a lot of money on moving to different DC and end up with very small increase in hash-rate. If you improve temperatures your miners will give you 10-60GH more.

I am expecting to have something around 27C, by the end of the week. That's what was promised to me. 60GH added to each miner, not bad at all

Cheers!

Some PSU fans should be able to work in an immersed environment (though it has no practical use to it, as it is wasted power).

Just deactivating / stripping it from the PSU is probably the best solution.

It wouldn't be a problem until the fan stops, but i makes no sense to keep it in there, and you wouldn't want your PSU to drive away like a submarine Wink

Most if not all server PSU has fan checks and wont work if you simply disconnect the fan, hence a fan simulator or other way to disable the fan checks. We have close relationship with our PSU manufacturer, so of course we wouldn't waste time doing this manually for our DataTank production installations, it is done directly by the manufacturer.

Wonder what the dB level on the bubbles are? Grin

i've a plan to build an ASIC powered hovvercraft...
instead of air in the cushion, fit it with 3M and a layer of upturned SP10 blades to let the bubbles glide the craft along.
i like boats. Grin

I want to get my SP10s wet too Grin

EDIT: Is there a necessity to turn the PSU fan off, when you immerse it? How to do that?

just jam a metal spacer* in the fan blades, that'll stop the bugger going round Cheesy

I used to rip apart* all the PSU's for my old 130nm blades, pull out the horizontal fans and place vertical fans on top of the open* psu
got zapped* a coupla times but hey, it's all fun. my mining room was a total health hazard.

*do not try this at home

We are not fans of fans, so no PSU or any other fan inside Wink

On a more serious note, depends on PSU's, but via firmware is one way, or hardware modification, but in this case for the purpose of our tests we used a fan simulator.
