No, we didn't skew as was demonstrated from the first poll you killed.
Let's wait for Philip posts and see the development.

I am going over the tracking now.  first set was at 6 votes.

That's a bit tin foil. Maybe all those spondoolies votes were fake or spondoolies employees eh? It is an inherent problem with surveys though, people only want to believe in results that validate their own opinions.

It will be interesting to know when Avalon got the spike. My guess looking at the participants graph, is 2 days ago.
It seems like the only deliberate skewing attempt.

To confirm  guy did donate 2btc to wiki today.

I know you are a fan of AM, but lets be serious.  They did eventually buy them back after months of us bitching and dealing with some fires. During the months we waited we got 0 responses from them...plus they were late in shipping with no updates. Many people like myself were shipped non working controllers or controllers that could only do 1 pool? The lack of quality and support was pathetic.

Edit: I will agree they did the right thing and all, but the experience left me with a bad taste in my dealing with AM. I even gave them the benefit of the doubt when I was shipped a dead Tube and tried a Prisma a couple months later. With companies like Bitmain and SP-Tech shipping higher quality gear and being responsive...who would want AM gear again?

Philip, thank you for running the poll.
2 BTCs were donated to Wilkimedia foundation, I've PM you the transaction details.

There are at least three hosting locations in Washington state that charge between 7.5 and 8.5 cents per kwh.  That's the only way I'm in it right now.

A user gave you eco mode results power consumption, it is comparatively silent at normal clocks anyway [1600rpm]. My guide shows exactly the setup steps, that's the point of it. I have 6K photos.

I can't believe AM did so bad in the caring for customers departments. They may have shitty customer service but they clearly care about their customers as evidenced by the Prisma buy back program. In my book that puts them straight to the top of that list. If there was a profitability question, it would probably also put the Prisma straight to the top of that list too.

Ahh I don't know>  I like posting on forums always have liked doing it.

macrumors
123macmini
parts-express
anandtech

all have been posted to by me with  more then 1000 posts.

This forum is a bit different as btc and digital coins  are a possible money maker with a lot of upside.  I  think this  causes a lot more tension with the posters here.

For example gaw-zen-paycoin as of today a few millions of dollars have been lost to them due to the crash of paycoin. Others made money due to them. This causes a lot of anger and stress among members.  

I will do the shots of the poll as it progressed.  Then close this thread.

No worries mate, your choice of course.

Just wanted to add thanks for doing this. Takes some guts and you don't deserve the flak you got because of it. Hope it doesn't put you off contributing in the future.

I will stick with wiki.

 I know ckolivas should get some coin but that leaves out kano.
 Both of them have done a lot for BTC.
 I mine at their pools and have decided that is the best way to support them.
 I will link their  2 pools  as my thoughts are all of us should point some hashpower to these two pools

I think it was good worthwhile survey and was glad to help out in my small way

My experience with surveys is that you can never please everyone.

My suggestion for a donation address would perhaps be to give 0.5 BTC to ckolivas for cgminers continuing development, the rest, I'm a bit of a fan of EFF https://supporters.eff.org/donate

But it's Phils baby and  I bow to his decision

I will list the pdf shots of it later today. I took at least 7 of them over the course of the poll


wikimedia takes  bit coins.  Pretty neutral  site that has helped people learn about many things all over the world including bitcoin.

 I use wiki to explain to people why I like bitcoin.

This is a great reason for bitcoin

When did Avalon got the spike?
To what cause should I contribute 2 BTC?

Guy

Edit:
It will be interesting to see how the results got changed everyday.

How about:

1.  Which manufacturer has the prettiest women working for them? 
2.  Which  manufacturer has the sexiest women working for them?  Proof it with pictures.

Look at who made the poll an issue.

Basically any fanboi's for a specific fabricator at this stage has a reason other than home mining and profitability.

Suffice to say it is well known and has been for months that Spondoolies far exceeds the customer service and delivery of all other fabricators and will likely continue to do so. I would suggest that the commercial level they also far exceed in customer service and delivery as well. With a superior quality product I think Spondoolies will likely become the default equipment for cloud mining in 2015/6 for anyone besides the likes of BitFury, Bitmain, Asicminer or KnC.

Well the poll results show current mind set of people mining at home right now.  there are 2 pieces of gear a lot of us use the s-5 or the sp20

these polls started right after bitmaintech raised price from 310 to 340 to 370 usd.  most of the time sp-tech had a stable price for the sp-20

Avalon 4.1 has not had much in the way of reivews So most every one will pick bitmaintech or spondoolies tech 1st or second.

with mixed results for third.

If this was done in august I believe  bitmaintech would have won..   This is the point of the entire  thread current results.

Does anyone care that KNC was like a  god in sept. oct. nov. of 2013.

Next month bitmaintech could come out with an s-6 that is truly great they would and should boost in the polling if they do this.

Considering that  there are 3 pieces of gear for a home miner to choose at the moment in the 600 watt 1200 gh area.  I never thought I would see the fights this caused.

  As this unfolded so poorly with groups picking sides it has shown me more and more to just mine  and not really put out anything at all.

Thank you for doing poll.  Interesting results seems to be a pattern.  With polls on here then there showing same seems to have extra proof.
