The SP10 starts shipping on March 25th! Actual orders (and not “pre-orders”) are available right now!


haven't really been following this thread, can someone just answer if they delivered? anyone received their march 25th orders?

I got one too!

SP10/Dawson received. It's hashing nicely at around 1370 GH/s on "Normal". Front/back temps are 22C and 73C. It's running on 115V. Thanks, Spondoolies.

I don't think the 'KnC route' is a viable long term business model - more a 'get rich quick' scheme.


If mining isn't economically viable long term at the scale shown here, bitcoin is dead.

you completely misinterpret what I said there.
best wishes.

Then perhaps you'd clarify ?

The product speaks for itself. So does their communication.

You can always elevate the level of conversation. Don't feed the trolls.

quite true. i'm itching to get my hands on something from spondoolies, unfortunately, as always I'm missing the boat at every turn. my old uncle has left some rare stamps in his will so it may be a possibility that I can join the queue at sometime in the near future. I just had this hunch from the very start that these guys will be around for a very long time, with more and more to offer to feed my mining obsession. As a business owner myself (albeit in a dying industry), I take my hat off to anyone who ventures into something for the long term. After 16 years doing what I do, it's coming to an end and I can at least say, i did my best.

That picture of a massive farm should send shivers down everyone's spine. Does it mean the end of diversity and spreading the network to a wider base? It might if people who care about bitcoin and cryptocurrency continue acting on their own. There is value in working within groups and collectives to help secure the network away from those LARGER farms. Spondoolies is making a promise to those who want to disrupt that ecosystem that they will be there with chips and miners. I am hoping that it is true and people do join together and secure the network differently. Spondoolies is just one company here is hoping others take up that same challenge and offer chips and miners to a growing group of collectives that are keen on making it impossible to have monopolies on mining in any form.

Any effort in method which breaks up the hashpower in any way possible is always welcome; where it is obviously now impossible to have the entire world mine solo at home, there is the option of smaller farm-type share-holdings, which would in the very least bring a spread of the earnings, if not the hashpower. It's going to take something special to get it together, and a team of special people to make it the 'new norm' in bitcoin mining. I don't mind that I am getting so close to being unable to make anything in the way of a profit, by mining at home now - as I said, it's a hobby, nothing more. Hence the reason I made a floor on the price I would be willing to sell BTC at, and currently, am ploughing it all back into cloud mining and not cashing out; which is a big risk, but at the very least, I can try to keep head-to head with current difficulty trends and create my little 1BTC each month. I retort to my thought, we have only had one block halving, and there is still a long way to go. At least, it still feels like i'm an early adopter, I still have a glaze in my eyes about it all and I feel young enough (in mining terms) to make the mature decision to carry on, not throw my toys out of the pram and stick in with it. Uncle Ivor always said; 'stick in with anything you do and it will come good in the end'. Upon this, i'm still a firm believer.

... what was shown was the solid confidence that these rigs will ship on spec and on time. nothing less and nothing more ...
True, that was the intention.

Not to pour water on your fire (as I think you folks are legit) but a brief cost-benefit analysis would easily show that the potential loss of 25 btc in the bet is far over weighed by the value in sales between now and the time you ship that result from maintaining the appearance of confidence.

Therefore, if that was your intention it was an ineffective way of demonstrating it …

Light-speed to everybody trying to ship next-gen ASICS. We'll need all the luck we can get to ROI them.


BTW, what is your refund policy if you don't ship on time ?

... I am waiting for my refund to hit my bank account from KNC then I will decide what to do and waiting for you guys to deliver to some members here so that we could see more reviews etc.
We've been delivering in the last 3 weeks, quite a lot actually...
The fact that you don't hear anything in this thread is a good sign, not bad.

since the bctalk forum restrictions were opened up to any old (and new) troll... i've found the intellectual conversation take a nose-dive and the fun banter turn into (sometimes) sheer hatred.

if you look up the thread, you are likely to find equal numbers of posts by 'new' members trying their damnedest to play down the efforts of spondoolies (yes, i've been sticking up for them) and as Mr Sp says; quiet speaks volumes.

The product speaks for itself. So does their communication.

You have the latest firmware, because it might go faster.

I like your style!

Sara's into pole dancing ;-)

how much for a blow job?

i'm not here to look professional, i'm here for the banter, and because mining is a hobby. However I do conduct myself in the same manner when I speak to the First Minister of Scotland, and we have a laugh - he calls me bitter, i prefer ale Wink

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending
miners poem
LOL
Won't happen.

Edit: Seriously. We know what we're doing. We've implemented much more complex ASICs and systems.
Partial talent list: http://www.spondoolies-tech.com/pages/team

I bet 5 BTC against your delivery date. No problem to send the money escrow to you.

Facts, what can happen in the development of your product in time are endless long. And i am sure more than half of your projects you started were delayed or cancelled (what is so normal, see Intel, Tegra, AMD etc). Say different and its a lie.
Only 5 BTC ?

Put 25 BTC in escrow and post the details.

If we'll miss SP30 delivery dates, one "Farmer's choice" (http://www.spondoolies-tech.com/products/3-x-sp30-yukon-august-batch) is yours, free of charge.

Agree?

Edit: This offer expires in 2 hours
Edit2: The offer expired.

It saddens me to read this post, for I put you guys above conducting such shenanigans. I put my neck out quasi-endorsing you guys, and this is how I'm rewarded.

Outta all the marketing know how you guys possess, it would have better served you to politely ask posters who veer from what's expected in this thread, i.e. "I bet you...", to take it elsewhere, but you opted to chime in, going as far as taking and upping the bet. This does not bode well!

Do you guys have any idea how much market share you just lost due to this one post alone?

~Bruno Kucinskas

what utter guff. anyone who can't put their money where their mouth is, should really just shut up and let folks do as they will.
what was shown was the solid confidence that these rigs will ship on spec and on time. nothing less and nothing more.

Good advice. It was a one time offer. Not to be repeated.

That's how you handle errors. We are all human. I would be an ass it I continued this dialog, but it looks like it's not needed.

Always bear in mind that customers and non-customers (me, for one), alike, are watching you folks, for Bitcoin is at the core of your endeavor, and that's what we're looking out for whether it's miner makers, exchanges, scams in general, etc.

Thanks again, bud.

I am sure your company has not been around as long as KNC so you never know, you might also go the route that KNC went, You'll be surprised what effect money could have on human beings, in 6 months or a year your Company Owner might say f___k the customers, let's use customer's money and build a mining center, no guarantees or how can we know that you don't have a sister company that gets the hardware first?
Ain't gonna happen. Our business is producing and selling mining hardware. Our core belief is the need to distribute the hash-rate and maintain viable eco-system.

I hope so. I think all hardware makers will be having difficulty selling their gears since BTC prices are low and keeps going down, like other members said here you might be better off buying BTC, I am waiting for my refund to hit my bank account from KNC then I will decide what to do and waiting for you guys to deliver to some members here so that we could see more reviews etc.
