Topic: [CLOSED] Spondoolies-Tech SP30 pre-order - Specs: 0.69$/GH + 0.46W/GH - page 20. (Read 43038 times)

I just can't resist ordering 5 more!

I have been scammed by knc and this is only reason for being restrained!

 

@ Spondoolies-Tech

Thanks for the fast response..on a Saturday! You establish new levels of standards 

Agreed, it's an excellent deal!
In addition not the numbers are excellent, only, but everything surrounding it as well (hosting, manufacturer, group buy,...) which is priceless in its way and impossible to find somewhere else!

The energy usage is incredible low and better than the products of competitors, agreed as well.

And those are the reasons I'm considering this preorder at all, you know
I'm no longer doing pre-orders...I thought, but now there is this one...

I was impressing my thoughts in hope I could get you moved a little forward as there are many others thinking this way, but nevertheless I'm still considering to join this incredible deal before the deadline ends....no risk no fun..(and hopefully reward)  

So the pretty much the mainboard and components on the mainboard.

The mechanics (enclosure, heat sinks), fans and PSUs are manufactured in China and shipped to Israel
The ASICs are manufactured by TSMC (GUC did the physical implementation) and shipped to Israel
Everything else is being manufactured and assembled in Flextronics Israel

Thank you spondoolies team for replying everywhere!

Your choice of 0.5w/ghs is fantastic.

I just cannot think of ending up with clones like happened with bit mine.

I hope everything you make will stay within Israel and not get outsourced from China?

The reason for taking pre-orders was discussed at length. See previous posts.
At those costs, we simply can't take partial payment. You can go with the Farmer's choice partial payment option.

Regarding the Chinese and hash-rate growth, time will tell. For now, we're the only one with sub 0.5 Watt / GHs design at the system level.
We can't foresee that future, but we think that it's an excellent deal. Ordering now and you'll get above 5.4 TH/s in less than 3.5 months

thanks, personally i'd rather not borrow anything... you know as well as I, that my refund (rhymes with 'last') may never actually transpire and i'd be up shit creek. I will wait, i'm a patient man... and all my life i've known some form of truth in the old phrase, 'good things come to those who wait'.

the rig was a 3-way purchase with my mum and brother-in-law, and I've bought an SP10, which is currently in my mum's garage mining for all three of us - as my way of an apology for having the lack of sense in suggesting we went with (rhymes with 'last) to buy a new rig.

also, i've finally powered down everything else, just today - my bfl singles were barely breaking even now and the BE cubes were switched off last week. the small amount they were hashing seemed insignificant compared to the beast that is the SP10.

ADD: SP10, is by far the best miner i've had the good fortune to own. I can't give enough praise on the build of it.

Isn't there an opportunity of a partial payment ? I remember something like this..
If so, it shouldn't be too hard to convince a close friend to borrow you some money until the refund hits your account ?

Just a thought meant to be helpful, please take it a such.

     i wish i hadn't put this thread on my watch list now... tic tock tic tock - still waiting on this damn refund.

I'm still hesitating to pull the trigger and join this group buy. Pre-order again, we should have past this stage in Bitcoin already.
Great price, hosting possible, quality hardware, most responsive company, etc.... I admit it couldn't be better!

My only concern is the network's growth, even if it the absolute percentage is slowing down since a while.
Going with KfC in the past offered at least the possibility for a refund, so not much too loose.

Those who want to make the bigger part of the profit (manufacturer) should also somehow take more of the risks imho.
Until August so much can happen like chinese bumbing out cheap hardware until there is no more profit.
I mean why should they stop production as long as it is profitable. In the past weeks/months new generations were developed and produced - therefore I assume the growth has slowed down a bit as you do not increase production while next-gen is close.
Then you replace old stuff and increase production. Then network grows again very very fast..


so in short and spicy
Profit: yes, please, here
Risk: where's our customer ? S/he takes care of this part.


With the opportunity of a refund, or in case of massive diff increases rendering it a loss more hardware for the same money or at least additional hardware for a very good price, or some other risk-sharing option, there would be lots of additional customers I guess.

Nevertheless thumbs up for Spondoolies and RoadStress for this incredible deal breaking the $1 per GH/s barrier !!

That's exactly the idea

It is a nice number, but keep in mind that developing a 28nm ASIC typically costs around 2-5M$.
(Engineering, mask costs, first production run etc.)

Since this is only a relatively simple die shrink, the exact number might be a little smaller.

The higher the sales of spondoolies, the faster they will recover their NRE costs, and the cheaper the devices and chips will be for consumers in the future.

In this groupbuy you can essentially get the units for a price of an institutional customer who actually buys 50+ units for himself, so this is pretty neat and keeps us smaller miners able to compete.

A nice August-sales number.

276 x $4500 = $1,242,000

Decent little group buy right?

You should get a link and coupon from the company to give special pricing.
You can pay in BTC automatically from the order page.
Its very easy.

Thanks
Ok, so I have few mroe days to send btc. And how much time do I have after that to transfer payment?

Thank you.

I can confirm that Roadstress is a great guy, and SP is very excited to be working with him on this GB. Their offices are pretty cool as well
