1.3 Th/s for many US folks (110V) now...  Cry
For 110V: It should be around 1.35 TH/s with 0.8 W / GH/s ratio.
Well within the 1.4 TH/s +- 10% published spec.
There are however some variants between each miner, due to different ASICs corners.
The fact that we're using 192 ASICs in each miner should decrease the variance, unlike some other vendors.

We're still tweaking the firmware.

I'm not touching it until Zvi's response.
Due to Passover, please expect a slower respond time.
You can email directly zvi@

I need help!. After followed instruction to revert the FW, the performance stayed the same. So i switched it to Turbo mode to see if it changes anything, now Miner_Gate and CGminer dont even run. I tried reboot, factory reset....nothing.

It keeps saying waiting for pool connection but thats not right (also after factory reset)

Can someone help?

Asic_stats shows blank as MinerGate doesnt run.


EDIT: So i upgraded it back to 1.2.32 and it still didnt mine
I checked the miner physically and noticed amber led blinking on the back of PSU. I quickly power cycle the miner and now it runs again. I'm back to 1.2.32 tho. I wont revert the FW this time because it didnt fix the performance. It seems the power limit stuck even after i reverted it back to 1.2.7

I'm not touching it until Zvi's response.

btw, how do i reverse the firmware?

Can someone from Spondoolies explain?

I want the FW 1.2.7 back so bad right now

Please upgrade now once, we have temporary reverted the firmware version (it will notify you about available update again, though it's enough to do it once).
I'm upgrading now..
Is it possible to let user choose FW version to use ?
I have several SP10s, so i can do comparison of both hashrate and power consumptions.
Edit: Got FW 1.2.31, same result. Normal mode + 1250w : 1.28TH/s 1.24-1.28TH/s
Compare it to another SP10 running 1.2.7, both use same CGminer version 3.12.3 : 1.39THs
So CGminer has no effect.

Hi.
Do you have 110V or 220V socket?
Please mail me at [email protected] so I can help you.


For FCC compliance we had to add power limitation for 110V in new versions that limits your  mining to around 1.3.

After upgrading the firmware to the latest (1.2.32) from 1.2.7 , my hashrate has gone down. How do i go back to 1.2.7 ?

I wish spondoolies let users to upload the firmware file instead.


Edit: this new Firmware (1.2.32) sucks . I'm running Normal mode and its only 1.29Th/s.... With the old firmware (1.2.7) its 1.37TH/s

Edit2:
After more mining time, this is the result: Both Normal and Turbo mode :1.28- 1.3TH/s ! . In Quiet Mode: 1.31TH/s - 1.34TH/s !

The noise level seems to be the same in Quiet mode (probably because PSU fan runs full speed in all mode?) . But the temp in Quite mode is higher so i assume the case fans run bit slower.

Increase the max PSU draw, not sure what it defaults to.

It has no effect at all. I tried 1200w and 1250w. Same result.

Btw with the prev FW 1.2.7, i left it at default which is 1200w. So i dont see this being a problem.

My hashrate is terrible at the moment 1.28THs (normal mode or Turbo mode, doesnt matter)

Also i left the miner plugged to the same outlet. This firmware just is just messed up. Also the CGminer in this firmware is newer version. Based on my experience with mining, sometimes newer version of miner actually reduce the hashrate.

When i go to the URL, i got redirected to : http://start.spondoolies-tech.com/

And it doesnt show any stats.

Can you elaborate?

It doesn't show any stats for me, but it does find what IP my miner is living at.

dogie, any cooling mod so far? did you find a way to turn down the PSU fan?


Its something that has to be done in the firmware, waiting on them.

Question to the community:
For SP30 it's too late (we're too deep into the design) but for future miners, is LCD with Hashrate / Temperature / IP / other status desirable ?
If so, what data to display ?

Suggestion from a software guy:

Forget LCD displays --> add a json-rpc stat api.

What I've seen which really helps from the LCD is the IP its set at. Even if you have a default shipping IP the unit can still go walkies and end up in god knows where. Its nice to be able to see where (if anywhere) its ended up.

Our P&M feature solve that without LCD. Just go to http://myminer.io

There is actually json-rpc API in the cgminer.
They are not enabled by default from outside the miner (see /etc/cgminer.conf), but you can enable them.

Then again, best thing about LCD is the IP, all the rest are just bells and whistles, and for the IP we have myminer.io for all them miners who don't want to run an IP scan.

Would appreciate if people could spend 2 minutes providing feedback on the guides so I can improve them.

This miner runs very hot so it will be interesting to see if they stand the test of time. My GPUs don't last very long above 100c temps! Tongue

Dogie, might be worth mentioning, price, $/GH, warranty period, in your review?

The vast majority of the chips sit between 77 and 113C, and only a few ever over 113 in some hotspots. That's not that hot, as remember these are on die temperatures. The Antminer S1 for example uses on pcb/chip edge sensors, which are going to be 30C below their on die equivalents. These chips are also specified by TMSC to operate at up to 127C!

tldr, they were designed this way for the formfactor, and there is still a lot of headroom.

I don't mention price or $/GH in reviews because after 7 days they're already out of date. I also rarely mention warranty periods as its just an arbitrary number out of your control. A company could say they have a 10 year warranty but disappear after 4, or another company could offer a 12 month warranty but run out of parts for that generation after 6. No one knows, so its not something that should be used as a key indicator in a buying decision.
