Don't worry. Your miners will arrive on time and on spec.
Unfortunately, this is the same thing CoinTerra, KnC, BFL all said.  It has about the same meaning as 'the check is in the mail!'

  

And HashF*ck, Bitmine and Black Arrow...
Although Bitmine and Black Arrow (especially Black Arrow) have been transparent and apologetic about their problems and delays.
It's becoming a bit of a repetitive subject. Here we go again:

- We don't promise "full refund" since failing to deliver will be a catastrophic event. You won't get your refund in that case also. Promising "full refund" will be a marketing lie. We want to avoid those.

Thanks for a quick response. There is still probability of not delivering on time because of some unpredictable external circumstances.
If such scenario happens and you cannot deliver on time or at all it means that we lose that 40% we invested and get no refund. It is a very risky for customer regardless if it is 40% or 100%. Especially if someone purchases larger quantities of devices.

How can you archive 0.58 W/GHs with 40nm and 0.38 W/GHs with 28nm when KNC uses 1W/GHs with 28nm and "maybe" 0.6-0.7 W/GH with 20nm?
I don't understand this.
It's actually 0.35 W/GHs with RockerBox our 2nd gen (28nm). We need to update our web site.
Our 3rd gen ("PickAxe"), to be released in Q4 is also 28nm and has much better power / performance ratio than our 2nd gen.

We achieved it using multiple techniques and much better engineering. For obvious reason, I can't get into the specifics.

You can read in past posts, we've released Hammer (1st gen) datasheet and RockerBox (2nd gen) brief.

Sounds like i have to refund my Neptune  Tongue
Send us proof of purchase and get 10% discount coupon. Send to [email protected] and mention this post.

Hm?


If i send u the proof that i ordered i get a discount?
Or am i getting a discount if i proof the order and the refund?
With the refund i could buy at your shop Grin


Just proof of order from other vendor. You're responsible to get your refund back, or not. We don't care.

I think my english is to bad i try it in another way.
You just need the proof of order. If i refund i get the discount nevertheless?
I know that refunding is my own responsibility.
The 10 Percent discount is on every product? Or only on sp 10?
We just need the proof of order.
The 10% discount is on every product we sell in the store. We want to distribute the hash-rate. Getting your money stuck in limbo at some other vendor pockets doesn't help distribute the hash-rate.
Just send proof of order to [email protected] and we'll create one time 10% discount for you. Applicable to any order.
Go spread the word and help spread the hash-rate.

- We don't promise "full refund" since failing to deliver will be a catastrophic event. You won't get your refund in that case also. Promising "full refund" will be a marketing lie. We want to avoid those.
- The 2nd gen ASIC is a relative simple die shrink of our 1st gen ASIC. Almost the same engine. Nevertheless, we've done verification and FPGA simulations of course.
- Everything is on track for tape out at the beginning of May.
- The entire project is on track. PCBs, mechanics, DC2DC test boards, Supply chain, etc
- Our VCs investors won't allow us to take pre-orders unless we're 100% sure we'll deliver on time
- There is simply no way to finance building the amount of miners we want to sell without taking pre-orders
- We have a payment terms that split the (non existing, really) risk: 40% in advance, 60% before shipping
- We won't take pre-orders for our 3rd gen ASIC since it's an higher risk effort
- Edit: take a look at our (partial) talent list: http://www.spondoolies-tech.com/pages/team. This is a simple project. We've done much more complex...

Black Arrow (especially Black Arrow) have been transparent and apologizing with their problems and delays.

"oh by the way, we also developed a scrypt miner with your pre-order funds", was a little less than transparent, was it not?
anyway, slightly off topic - i do believe that what you see is what you get with spondoolies-tech.

Edit: Another parameter to compare is form factor. SP10 is 1.25U

Edit2: Compare it also with another 28nm vendor, the one who changes it's warranty from 90 days to 30 days recently (for a good reason) and doing a fire sale.
The comparison was done here: http://www.coindesk.com/spondoolies-tech-promises-power-efficient-mining/

Thank you!

got my tracking number today! you'd better add my feedback when i'm up and hashing or i'll be very offended  Cool

I don't understand this.

because KnC insist on being 'first' to everything. others take their time and compile the tech with care  Wink

Everything this company has put out has been on the money so far it seems. Nice to see that from a supplier.

Good news:

New SP10 ordes done today will be shipped on the first week of May. You won't need to wait until the 18th as previously written in the thread.

What??? Early delivery? Never seen that happen before... Good job. I am hoping other manufacturers will learn from you guys.

batch 2 sp10 shipped today?
We've completed all shipping of April batch today.

Good news:
May batch will start on the 4th. We'll build, test and ship continuously the entire month.
We have ramped up our production capability at Flextronics and we were able to bring the components earlier than anticipated.

does this also apply for the dual sp10 bundle?
Yes. We're shipping everything earlier, according to the orders queue.

I think I managed to kill the image on mine, it stopped showing up under the DHCP table, and cant find it with IP scanner, after multiple restarts etc. Going to pick up a microSD card tomorrow.
Email zvi@spondoolies-tech if you need assistant, he'll be available in few hours.
