I don't have stock hardware. All the stock hardware was bought.

I mean why not sell sp30 in stock or even BTO?

Why put the additional unnecessary risks involved with preordering on your customers?

I'm a customer. I see no risk in this.

C'mon now, let's not be silly here. There is risk in every preorder. You see a low chance for failure because Spoondoolies has proven to be an upstanding company. But don't mistake that for zero risk.

And with a pre-order with a no-refund policy, the buyers have assumed all risk if a catastrophic failure occurs.

Like whom, you mean?

Could be bitfury, asicminer, avalon, bitmain, innosilicon, knc, blackarrow or maybe a company that has yet to reveal itself.

Hello my friend, I've missed you. Is is too boring at one of AM threads ?

None of those companies can match the price point of SP30 with current gen and Q3 planned hardware.
Not to mention the W/GH/s advantage.

What exactly is all the Q3 planned hardware?

You don't happen to have the specs/prices of all the next gen asics do you?

If you are so confident that you will have the best $/GH/W ratio than why not offer in stock hardware?

I have pretty good idea of all the major players plans for Q3 - 2015 Q1. You forgot PeerNova, Cointerra and 21e6

somehow, I doubt you will get anything from Spondoolies in September if you decide to wait til September.

That's probably true.

But what's also probably true is that there will be much cheaper in-stock hardware by september.

I beg to differ.
~$5k for >6TH/s

I think you will find, anything in stock in september will be very price similar, if not; more expensive - and much lower quality.

This is currently the best bitcoin hardware manufacturer hands down.  The hardware is quality, and customer service is great also.  I'd love to order more, but it's all out of stock, and never again will I preorder anything.

Then you have to wait till September or October to get a device in stock...

Nobody likes it but unfortunately this is how this market works Sad

Is pre-ordering an SP-30 for all the way September delivery viable? Would I ever get my ROI you think? The price and the amount of waiting time is what is stopping me from pulling the trigger. After $5k it it is a real hard catch up game. I know I'd feel more comfortable with an August delivery, but bitcoin could be $400 in three months. I guess I'm saying I really like the SP30 but don't want to be in the red with it through its lifetime. Ya know?

http://bitcoin.sipa.be/growth.png This is looking good. My first SP30 ordered was in March with July delivery, the next ones were in April with August delivery (4 and 3 months). Now it's the same 3 months.

What is the latest firmware rev? I have two May units, and one is running firmware rev 1.3.49, and the other is running rev 1.3.50-dc-60trml.

Both units say they are running the latest firmware, but the unit that is running rev 1.3.50-dc-60trml is faster by ~100GH/s. This difference is likely caused by hardware variation.

What is the difference between firmware rev 1.3.49 and rev 1.3.50-dc-60trml?

It's experimental, I just uploaded it to update a test machine, I don't remember what it has. Would not count on it giving 100Gh extra, it's just different machine. We will release 1.4.something tomorrow or day after, it will be tested and stable.

Wow, to squeeze out 100 GH/s each would be awesome Smiley
