Whats the 'Amsterdamn 2014' SP-10 unit?  The price is very good, is it available to order world-wide?

I had 3 SP10s delivered today.  Two are fine and hashing at 1.35 and 1.4 TH/s, respectively.  The two that are working I did a firmware update first, then changed the network settings.

The third SP10 I did not update the firmware, changed the IP address and rebooted.  I could get to the miner web UI OK, but then it showed the gateway address missing.  I added the gateway address and rebooted, and that is the last network contact from the miner.

I followed the instructions for SP10 Miner recovery.  I used a Windows machine to flash a class 10 uSD 8MB card.  I then tried the miner recovery process three times.  I had to hold the uSD card in with a finger while I unplugged and replugged the power cord.  All three times, after about 40 seconds I got the expected flash of yellow and green.  I removed the card and unplugged and replugged the SP10.  I get flashing lights under the ethernet connection, and then both yellow and green lights come on.  The miner never contacts the Spondoolies start page and does not come up on the network.

To be sure, I repeated the entire process with a 16 GB uSD card, exact same results.  Checked and replaced the network cable.  The miner boots, runs the fans, then both yellow and green lights come on.  I tried another recovery but waited an extra two minutes at each stage, same results.  All three miners are running at 240V.

Spondoolies, help!  Thanks very much for your assistance, I am posting this here so others can learn from this as well.

Thanks very much,
Henry

Please write to me at [email protected] - I will assist you with the recovery and the overclocking. Regards`

Zvi helped me, all 3 SP10s are now up and running.  1.4 TH/s due to hot weather.  So impressed with well packed machines and instantaneous technical support.  Could not recommend more!  Thanks Zvi.

Received my 2 SP10s today, great shipping speed - confirmation shipping email received yesterday - delivery today (I'm in the UK).

I have to say that the packaging for these units is FIRST CLASS, obviously custom designed and the SP10 fits like a hand in a glove - so no room for movement whilst in transit. Thick and chunky.

Others have said this, but I also was surprised by the weight of these quite obviously well made units. Not that weight is an issue, in fact they feel reassuringly well made and solid.

I've only had limited time to play and check through the settings available ... need time to find my way with these.

One problem that I've immediately come across is how to set a static IP address. By default the miners are set to use DHCP. After un-checking the 'Use DHCP' box, entering the IP address I want and clicking save ... it doesn't seem to register.  Tried it countless times, but I cannot seem to make the setting.

Would appreciate any ideas from anyone on this.

So Sponds ... 10/10 ... really pleased ... and August SP30s can't come soon enough  Wink



You are lucky.  It looks like from Israel the first hop of my package was Europe so to the UK would be quick.
Mine hit Italy - Germany / long layover - Now China / another long layover / waiting its next flight....
Hopefully my package hits the final delivery truck tomorrow morning.

I plan to do an un-boxing and initial setup video to post here for anyone who's looking forward to or possibly thinking about
ordering anything here from SP-Tech.

Funny - DHL really has a weird understanding of geography. Mine first went from Israel to the UK, then to Frankfurt which is only 1 hr flight away from me. But instead, it went now to Leipzig, and who knows where it will go from there...

DHL is really hosing these shipments up IMHO.  Im not sure why they are having
such a hard time lately.  They are reliable Ill give them that, but wow they are not
being efficient lately.  They must have more direct flights they could use for EXPRESS delivery.

They need to sort their ish out by August.
Mine sat in Leipzig over 12 hours.
It sat in China over a day.
They quoted to arrive by the 16th but it just left China hours ago.
Ill be requesting they refund the shipping charges since they cant deliver to
even get into the country yet by the 16th.


In my shipment of 5, 2 were marked as diff customs values causing them to get help up, while the other 3 were delivered today. All part of the same waybill and everything, and DHL is beyond useless in getting it fixed.

We have had this exact problem.
If you pop the top of the unit, press the uMSD button with the micro sd card inserted, and power cycle the machine, we found that successfully brought the miner back to life.

Update: the issue resolved. The low rate was because the high environment temperature (over 35C), the unit recovered, recovery instructions updated and new recovery image uploaded (1.3.16).

Has the 28nm chip been taped out yet?

I think they did. Everyone is in Amsterdam so we will find out more this week-end.

Has anyone with an SP10 upgraded their firmware to Version 1.3.16?

Any issues?

My two SP10s received yesterday appear to have just missed the upgrade.


I did. No issues.
Thanks for the info, I'll give it a go.
Maybe the update sorts the issue i have with trying to set a fixed IP address.

Hi.
Sorry for late response - please try factory reset and then set the wallet and fixed IP.
I tested today and it works. It's just version compatibility issue, I believe. The new minepeon doesn't understand the /etc/network/interfaces file (I am almost sure it is the problem). We added experimental wireless support, so the format changed a bit.

I also did and also no issues. I even got just a bit more hashrate from it.

I was intending on doing the same, but the SP10 really is so simple to set up, the length of video wouldn't be worth uploading!

Yes I know what you mean, but even more reason should some one take the time to do it. As DevonMiner said, it would be for the people who are thinking about getting one. First hand experience of us the customers receiving there's is the idea. Spondolies already has a great video of Gadi showing the SP10 Dawson, but this would be from the view of a customer.
