Just getting some sun in Wink

But in all seriousness, turbo and 'normal' modes are way too loud edit: for now in a residential setting. The names are a bit misleading though and 'normal' is actually to run at a high ambient of 31C. Running 'normal' at normal room temp will get the same hash rates as turbo was designed to do. Working now at getting quiet mode even quieter (its the PSU which is very loud at the moment), but its promising. Also designing the real cooling mods which are looking promising at the moment - just want to get this PSU out of the way first.

I don't know what sort of cooling mods you are going to do without putting it in something larger than a 1U enclosure. You need to dissipate the heat somehow. Just curious what sort of engineering background you have?

So, Guy (Spondoolies-Tech CEO) has just dropped by to deliver my sample SP10 – Dawson unit.

Here are some photos of it in operation, right here in my living room:
Any way to measure the power consumption?
I'll try.
So, I measured the power consumption and it's about 1.3 KW.

Also, by putting it on silent and placing it in a structure I have outside of my home itself, the noise levels seem bearable. Might not work as well for people with less flexible real estate.

Its that noisy?

Even you leave it outside of the house can you can still hear it?
Pretty much. In said arrangement I don't hear it when in the upper floor of the house, which is where I spend most of my time so it looks like it may work after all. Keep in mind that these kind of things depend also on wall thickness, windows etc.

I'll run it on silent, I expect that otherwise the neighbors will complain about the noise.

Once the PSU gets sorted then it will be quieter than a gen 1 Avalon, louder than my cooling modded gen 1 Avalon but potentially the same noise level as an Antminer.
We're checking the PSU fans issue. If possible, we'll release firmware upgrade reducing the fans speed.
The PSU has a thermal sensor, so we might be able to have a control loop in firmware through the I2C.

Watch: $5k/TH vs $5k for 1.4TH.  Secondly 6kW per 1TH unit vs 1.25kW for 1.4TH (6.7x worse W/GH).  And 42U (whole rack??) vs 1.25U (47x worse density TH/rack?).  Me thinks alydian will have to reduce their price or no one will buy them.   6kW at $0.15/kWh is $650/mo plus 6kW worth of heat to disipate via cooling vs $97/mo (power per TH).   They would have to sell them at a significant discount for that to make sense in a mining calculator. (Less bad if your power is cheaper).

Yikes, thats barely better than gen1.

Is it louder than a 1st gen Avalon ?

In quiet, for now its about the same. The actual miner's fans are the same noise level as a few Antminers, but the PSU is crazily loud. Its way overcooling so they're going to figure out how to control it hopefully. Once the PSU gets sorted then it will be quieter than a gen 1 Avalon, louder than my cooling modded gen 1 Avalon but potentially the same noise level as an Antminer.

bankrupt cloud mining company Alydian attempting to offload 218TH of mining equipment.

Alydian's equipment efficiency and pricing is significantly worse than spondoolies for comparison.

Watch: $5k/TH vs $5k for 1.4TH.  Secondly 6kW per 1TH unit vs 1.25kW for 1.4TH (6.7x worse W/GH).  And 42U (whole rack??) vs 1.25U (47x worse density TH/rack?).  Me thinks alydian will have to reduce their price or no one will buy them.   6kW at $0.15/kWh is $650/mo plus 6kW worth of heat to disipate via cooling vs $97/mo (power per TH).   They would have to sell them at a significant discount for that to make sense in a mining calculator. (Less bad if your power is cheaper).

(Of course its easy to show poor results for several generations old equipment, but if Alydian actually want to sell them...)

Its that noisy?
We're working to reduce fans and PSU fans speed. In ambient temperature of 20C, the unit should produce at least 1.4 TH/s with bearable noise level.
We're still tweaking the firmware.
In addition, we'll offer very competitive hosting plans. The customer will have full control over his/her unit and will be able to decide to ship it at anytime

Another question, are the fans being dynamically controlled by the FW? or can we manually adjust the fan speed?

I would like to have control of the fans regardless.... I actually dont mind the noise because i have my own mining room.

website down?

TANGO DOWN!:

Uh-oh!

It looks like something broke. We’ve been notified and will have the problem fixed as soon as possible

Hopefully they fix the website soon Huh

The website was down for a few minutes but is back up now.
We are working with Shopify to understand what the problem was.

Thank you for you patience everyone.

Hello. I would like to know if you guys have any problems shipping to the U.S and more specifically to Hawaii. I plan on buying around 3 Power packs for the next batch. This will be my first purchase of a miner ever and the rep meter on you guys is skyrocketing. If I could even get some kind of discount on them, maybe even 4 power packs. Thank you.

Yes, we do ship to Hawaii. Please contact us at [email protected] for inquiries on large quantities.
