How do you configure a pool just to be a backup pool? Just add another pool? No settings on that either, so if it does jump to the second pool, will it ever try to re-connect to the first pool again in a certain amount of time?

I think I was told about 9-10 amps.

I am not sure on the AMP's bu the one I have is pulling right now 1040 watts at the wall on a 20 amp breaker.

What did you do with the ones you physically had? Did you have to sell them? My father is more prone to selling his since he lives with his wife and I live alone right now.

How cool is that! Great to hear and know.

Yes, you are required to fill out an Importer's form.  You either provide your tax ID (if you are a business) or your social security number (if you are an individual).  The form is from the Department of Homeland Security, US Customs and Border Protection.  It is an Importer ID Input Record.

We'll respect the warranty after changing hand.

Where in NJ are you, would be interested in buying them from you, I am in Bergen County.

Am I reading this right, to import to the USA you need to give fedex your social security # ?!!!??

Man! I told you! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=521520.msg6864778;topicseen#msg6864778

Yet another miner from NJ!

Thankfully I'll be running mine in my basement, so noise shouldn't be an issue for me.  If I had enough power to run 2 more, I'd take them off your hands.  Unfortunately, the little lady might be quite upset if I tell her she can no longer use any electrical appliances whatsoever because I need all the power to mine BTC

I do not recommend running it with the case off.
The miner is built to pull the air through the layered ASIC boards to cool them properly.  If you open the case it stops the negative pressure that pulls the air over them.
Running on low or quiet is about the quietest it can go unless you undervolt further.
Dogie is working on quieting the PSU fan which accounts for about 1/2 the dB output of the miner.

As for buying them from you I do not have the money or I would.  It is a great miner to have.

If you can find a room in the basement or garage you can run it without disturbing the house tranquility. 

Hey everybody-

Just got my SP10 today and so did my Dad. Both of them work great and we had them up and running in just a few minutes. I also just upgraded the firmware. A little icon exclamation mark near the button "firmware upgrade" appeared, so I upgraded and it only took a few seconds.

One problem I'm having though. The noise. I really didn't think they would be that loud. These are truly meant for the data center and the build design should have clued me in on that when I saw it. My father is also a little perturbed about the noise level. So we are wondering. Can these be ran with the unit opened up and the enterprise fans turned off and use another type fan/blower to keep it cool? Has anyone done this? I know I should have known they were this loud from the design, but for in-home use it may be just a little too loud for me, and my father also. We both agreed we would sleep on it and make a decision soon on what to do. Has anyone here cooled an SP10 in any other way then using the stock enterprise fans? I really DO NOT want to sell it or be without it, but there is a limit to what I'm willing to do.

1. So, if we do decide not to keep our rigs does Spondoolies have anykind of return policy? I looked all over their website and couldn't find anything. I think this is the first thing I have ever purchased without knowing if it had a warranty and if it could be returned or not. I know this is a very touchy subject with companies, but both of them are in perfect working order and of course we'd pay for the shipping cost to send them back. I guess I should send an email to Spondoolie to from their website and ask there also. I don't know if they monitor this thread or not.

2. Me and my Dad both live in NJ. If we made the decision not keep our SP10's would anyone be interested in buying them? They are both already in NJ, so you wouldn't have to wait and could possibly have them up and running this weekend if we made the decision that quickly to sell them.

I myself would really love to keep it, but being that I live in a ranch style house there's really no where to place the unit without it being heard from every room. And then I need to keep the window air conditioner on 24/7 in there to keep the temps at a decent level. I only have a 6000 BTU window unit and that's running on high right now and the temperature in that room is 78 degrees. I'm just thinking ahead a little bit and wondering what kind of melt down I'm going to have when the temperature outside is 95. I

I know I really should have done a little more research, but I really got hung up on getting another miner. I still use and run my KNC Jupiter, which is in the same room...adding to the heat, but that unit run literally silent. I'm usually a more picky buyer and don't buy out of impulse, but what I really feel guilty about is I talked my Dad into buying one also. I told him it would be "noisier" then our KNC's but really didn't tell him it would sound like a Jet Plane.

I think the Spondoolie is built like a tank and works great. I just wish I had a data center rack somewhere to put it in. It wouldn't be cost effective to lease rack space, since it would cost more then what the miner would bring in. I did send an email to Spondoolie asking them these questions also. Maybe they can just host our SP10's if we are able to ship them back to them, who knows. I don't know how much it cost to lease rack space in a data center, but probably in NJ it is quite high. Maybe that's something else me and good ol' Dad can look into as well.

Well, thanks for listening and sorry for such a long winded post.

Thanks guys, that helps.

Jimmothy is right.
It clocks down as well and is simple to do in the software.
On the low setting I was getting 1.1 th/s and 940 at the wall.
You can go lower if you want as well.

Yes you can undervolt for greater efficiency. IIRC 1th/s at 700w at the wall.

Quick question, how does the SP10 perform with undervolting to conserve power usage? For example instead of 1.4TH/s with 1100W you could hypothetically run at 1.2TH/s with 800W. I'm in a high electric cost region and would be interested in this.

Sorry if this has been covered before, but the thread is rather long at this point.

Sorry the stars do not show the percentage.  It is not 5/5 for it price.  It is roughly 4.8/5.  With the build quality and software it is worth the price and with all their discounts and coupons like the set they have on Twitter it is very price competitive and worth every penny.  I did note in the Cons section the price.
I do not have much money at all and if I did I would buy another one.
I really was surprised how well it works and is built.
I will see if I can get the star rating to register the % for the future.
