Seriously, the customers of this industry were hurt multiple times.
We understand that it will take time until people will trust us. We don't expect it will be an easy transition.

It's not so much a question of trust, but of risk. Pre-orders that aren't even due for 4 months are a huge risk to the customer. Why are you putting all that risk on the customer for the SP30? That's not how you did the SP10.

Why is the last logged in date 2000-2-18 (Feb. 18, 2000)? If this simple piece of info was changed/altered, how does anybody really know that none of the other info scrolling across the screen was not altered in some way?

Phinn, ask Dogie and Meni to confirm the hardware pls. You're wasting your time here.

The SP-10 is real. I sure hope SP-30 are gonna be on specs.

This is your thread, feel free to do as you wish. It would be interesting to see what methodology you use to find them out. Phinn would probably want to add it to his arsenal of investigative tools Smiley
Well, I'm new to all this. So it might seems trivial: Check user creation date, check last posts.
Trolls are usually con the manufacturer they're trolling while pro for a third manufacturer.

Usually, maybe, but not in my case. I don't get paid from anybody to do what I do, nor have ever taken one satoshi as payment, albeit a small handful have donated to Bitcoin 100, et al., letting me know they did such after the fact, but that too is never expected, but much appreciated.

At this penning, I have nothing on Spondoolies (nice word, BTW), albeit three people have emailed me expressing a concern.

Personally, I wouldn't pre-order anything from these guys if I were a miner, for I feel something ain't quite right.

As far as product being delivered on time, that is highly unlikely given that not a single bitcoin miner manufacturer has delivered on time.

I know this is a self-moderated thread, so be forewarned that if any of my posts gets deleted prior to I stating some diatribe (we all hope that such won't be needed and that this outfit proves viable), I will just conduct my investigation a tad sooner.

Meanwhile, I'm curious as to who is doing the actual penning of post under the Spoondoolies user account.

@spondoolies-tech: You asked about what is the convention on these forums. Since this is a self moderated thread, you are free to remove any posts you like if you think they're too offtopic or by whatever standards you like; mods usually don't moderate self moderated threads. However bear in mind most customers get upset if you start deleting any negative comments and they have ways of watching the original thread elsewhere to see what was deleted.

I may have been quoted on the BFL sales page, but I have not pre-ordered anything from BFL since I received my last order, monarch or otherwise.

I don't believe any hardware manufacturer should be in the 100% paid upfront pre-order business. If they are, I am not doing business with them.

If I am shilling for anyone, it would be Bitmain!  Wink



Nice arrangement of words. Tard Josh did his job good. You didn't pre-ordered anything from BFL since you receiver your last order(read "last pre-order). Ok, but you DID pre-order stuff in your lifetime. What's different now? Why was ok last time and it's not ok now?

Yes missing their own deadline by 7 months(now) makes them so hard to beat... (source: https://forums.butterflylabs.com/announcements/4414-monarch-information.html)

To anyone new here, Giga and Joshie(BFL_Josh) are much closer. Too close that when BFL started shipping Singles, Giga got his rigs shipped first and he could still make new orders and got ahead of anyone in the queue.

Its fcking sick that hes pretending to be against pre-order and all..... as long as hes not getting special treatment.

Fuck you Gigavps. What makes you shown up in "Hardware" all the sudden?

James Gibson was CMO of HashTrade when that infamous $1M down payment pre-order through BitPay was transacted, of which was a multi-million dollar Monarch order that they should be in toward the end of the line in receiving, but the scuttlebutt is that they were the main order and will get theirs before individual orders.

Interesting! Three hours prior to the $1M USD transaction, this...

A simple number should be enough...How many SP10 did you ship up to date...?

20-50-100-500...1000...Just a number...will be "plenty" good... Wink

Regarding pre-orders, let the free market runs its course.

Pre-order or not, we need to support new miners manufacture. More competition means less monopoly. Otherwise, mining belongs to a few vendors when they build their own farm .ie KNC.

I'm glad you know everything that has happened between BFL and myself. Want to tell me my shoe size as well.  Roll Eyes

FYI, I got the first mini rigs because I was the first customer to purchase them. I was the first customer to purchase FPGA mini rigs. I was one of the first to purchase FPGA singles.

I waited the entire 9 month delay just like everyone else and was even denied my entire order having to spend multiple months in BFL land waiting for drippings of equipment.

FYI, you didnt need to use first order excuse because nobody could ever know and BFL's BS 1/3 shipping plan. Deny all your want buddy.

With respect to Spondooliestech. I'm done with you

We're certain that we'll deliver it according to spec on the defined schedule.
This is not wishful thinking or overselling. This is based on the exact status of our 2nd gen project.


Then you should have no problem offering refunds if you miss, correct?

We'll be happy to sell you SP30 Yukons come August from stock. I don't believe that we'll have any left, though.

Seriously, the customers of this industry were hurt multiple times.
We understand that it will take time until people will trust us. We don't expect it will be an easy transition.

We're offering what we believe is a compelling product. We're certain that we'll deliver it according to spec on the defined schedule.

Participate or not, it's your choice.

Please share your exact timelines along with where you have planned for contingency of what can go wrong. What is your plan to fix a chip design flaw? Does that push out your delivery dates if it occurs? How much time do you have to design / build / test PCBs?

If you want to be transparent, I think sharing your plan of how you are going to mitigate ALL of the pitfalls that come with the industry you are in.

Yes that's the usual way. You have to be careful though, and usually the are shills not trolls. Often a newly created account that just posts in a forum with a negative response about a competitor or a positive response about a badly performing manufacturer is sometimes a shill/troll. But not always.

Sometimes people turn from one outlook to another really fast, sometimes its just human nature and getting excited about a product and sometimes there is a hidden agenda like offers made behind the scenes etc. But I hesitate to out and out accuse people because there is often an element of doubt and there are many more "brave" people like Phinn who use a scattergun approach to weed out the bad'uns.. he does catch some innocents along the way though  Undecided

What Bitmain product that can compete with this is in stock and shipping today?  S2 has no info on a batch 3 as to when they will be able to be bought or shipped.  There are MANY who have had problems out of the box that were not the result to shipping damage.  Hopefully the batch 2 customers are on a better boat.

They have plenty to fix before the S2 past batch 2 will be flooding the market.  So please STFU!

Neither company has anything available to ship at the moment. One company is accepting customer money for products they don't have, and the other company is not. See the difference?

Guys,
Let's keep the discussion civilized please.

We're committed to distribute the hash-rate. It will become evident very soon.
The days of small DYI miners are almost over. We're preparing for the next phase of mining while taking utmost care to distribute the hash-rate.

Agreed.

General question on forum / thread etiquette. It's new to me, so I'm asking.
Let's say some users are clearly competitors trolls. Should I call them out or not ?

The question doesn't refer to the post above
