Hello,

This week I had to send the devices from your competitor's back to China. My custom agent ​​(Poland) told me that the devices does not have the CE marking and declaration of conformity and certainly will be stopped at the customs office indefinitely. My question is:

1 Do your devices are CE marked?
2 Do you meet the requirements in the directives on electrical equipment?
3 Do you provide for the importer Declarations of Conformity with the device?

we have summer - it's 15 degrees again today. glorious.
i'll pop out and buy a lottery ticket, if I win, i'll be buying everything that's left on that SP30 group buy.  

ZiG,
It was already discussed at some length. There in no magic wand that will allow us to ramp productions immediately.
The lead time for the ASICs is 3 months. For other parts it's 1-2 months.

By getting as much pre-orders as we can for SP30, we'll be able to ramp up production for SP30 in September and October, but certainly not to the quantities you're indicating. For example:

Assume for a moment that the COGS (our cost) for the SP30 is 1,000$ (it's much, much more).
We'll need to pay, upfront, 15M$ X 3 months = 45M$ to be able to prepare such pipeline for September-November

Now, since the COGS is much more than 1,000$, you can understand that the amount of money you're requesting as to invest upfront is simply absurd.

Please don't give Bitmain as counter example. Their S2 product is about to EOL in June - July with current BTC price and hash-rate growth.

So, we did a bit of research. We'll enable user accounts at Shopify soon.

sorry.

Guys, let's keep the discussion civilised

jog on, troll.

  I take this as a personal insult!

I wanted to help wanna4fun to get the most out of his sp10, so he can pay his power bill and get a bit extra. I see nothing wrong in this, we all have to pay our bills and if we can't pay them, we cannot afford to buy new miners. So would you please stop the BS now, I hope for you that you don't have to pay $0.20/kwh like wanna4fun has to!

What ?
1.67 TH/s ?

You need to pay us 20% more.
Go buy a lottery ticket. Amazing.

Edit: Maybe it's the ambient temperature in Scotland... We should ship all our machines to you and ask you to open the Window

ramped in (after 30 mins hashing on full power draw - my most recent purchase (SP10 batch 2)
not too shabby Spondoolies!

Useful suggestion. Thanks!

If you have such nice and helpful feature requests, please email [email protected]
It will go to our ticketing system.

Appreciated.

Hi.
We will put it in our todo task queue, but not at high priority. What you can do for now is to set that in cron. Note that the time of miner is rather random, and you can not change it's time when it is mining. So do the following:

Set miner time:
1) ssh to your miner
2) spond-manager stop
3) date +%T -s "10:13:13"
 
In order to start miner in "quiet" mode, "echo 0 > /etc/mg_work_mode; spond-manager start".
In order to start miner in "turbo" mode, "echo 2 > /etc/mg_work_mode; spond-manager start".

Just add cron jobs you want.
Note that the system will forget the time after reboot, and it can reboot if your internet is down for over 5 minutes, so this is not proof solution. We will add timeserver support very soon.
Also note that directory /etc/ is non-volatile, while other directories are volatile.

I believe that we will have something ready within 2 weeks, but can not commit at this point.

Bick no mater how many small guys bound together the pice they get of the pie will be the same.
So individuals can not gain anything from grouping and hooking together.
If you invest let us say 500 bugs in a grou with 1000t you will get proportional ROI based on your investment
You get better price  for the equipment and discount which will be eaten up from group fees that is All
So if you do not have enoug power or you do not want to turn your house into server room buy something small like ants or whatever and you are done. In any case direct btc investment is an option also
  

this; people who just want to have a rig so they can cash-out their BTC for fiat at the rate they can get when they mine it and are continually obsessed by ROI this and ROI that... I ask them to remind me, how many block halvings have we had and where are we in the life of our cryptocurrency?

If people no longer feel like early adopters after only ONE block halving, sorry BTCit-joe, but it may be time to get out of the game and find another trading stock. I've no problem spending $5k on an SP10 and i'll have no problem spending more for the next generation of SP-T rigs, when I can afford it.

'CryptKeeper'   hypocrisy abounds

That wouldn't make sense, the SP10 is making 0.1 BTC a day, that's about 35 €.

Far more than your power consumption (30kwh/day), even at 0.14 €, do the math!

 

Policy?

That is what is going to happen no matter what. It has happened with BF, ASICMINER and KNC... you think the latest company coming to market shouldn't build more powerful cheaper units that are sold to the public? Or should they simply do what those companies above are doing? You can't lay the blame on a single company. They didn't build the first MMO's nor did they say they would cut the community out and only sell to deep pockets like others have already done. They are giving the community the resources to compete and given their vision as said in this thread I suspect they will continue to do that but the individual is not going to be mining BTC.

Like Solo mining went to Pools hardware has to be collectivized. They are selling the Hammer chips that alone is helpful if we can get DIY fabricators involved as well that spread the network. At this point you might what to think about the network and how it needs to be diversified spread out. How can that be achieved? With cheap SP10's or SP30s and beyond that are CHEAPER per Gh/s? I get you want to protect the masses but right now the war isn't us against Spondoolies. It is everyone against the consolidation of hash power in a few hands.

Where else are you going to buy miners? That is the question I have.

If you are an individual small miner not pooling resources you are OUT of the game already start looking around for a bunch of people to hook up with.

You can't house things like this in your home. You need power you need a facility and they will need engineered systems and cooling.

Don't think it is the company that is doing this it is the technology that is driving this move.

Seriously right you get that these things are getting more juice, hotter and not for home use right?

This is KnC... and you are knocking the SP30 as the evil that causes MMO's wake up dude we are all behind the curve. The only way you stay in this if you want to risk it is with groups of people pooling resources.



Sorry this well offtopic... but people are certainly not seeing the whole picture.

do you find difficulty in restraining yourself from asking the same question multiple times?
you seem think it's an easy task to run out thousands of rigs per day.. so I challenge you to go do it yourself, and post a thread where we can all question your ethics and morality.

  and the policy of selling these sp30's  makes Massive Mining Operations happen.

 I   fail to see where selling gear in April to be delivered in August helps the network in anyway.

 Helps the seller's pocket no more no less.  They have sp10's they can build them and they are the best gear available today.  yet they ask us to buy for the future. How about they are selling sp10's in bulk to MASSIVE MINING Operations now .  while asking us to buy for the future.

The future is now. Give a decent deal to the little guy sell a lot of sp10's now. At a decent price.  Sp30's don't work for most home style miners like me.

  I could squeeze one sp30 in my home.even if I need to use 3 psu's to run it.

 many people can't do that. but the miner for the masses (sp10)  they don't sell now.

Ask your self why?

i'm with you on that one. but as long as I keep up with difficulty in my own little way, and keep hashing, i'm happy.

Good strategy. Look LONG.

Unfortunately we all see the same end game in mining. MASSIVE MINING OPERATIONS... time for the little guys to band together and do the same. Pool Mining is not enough and I dare say a single coin BTC strategy is a waste of resources.
