Re: [ANN] Spondoolies-Tech launches a new line of ASIC miners

Hi everyone,

i'm still waiting for my sp10 to be delivered (still in israel atm Cry

) and i was wondering if there is an option to schedule the power consumption ?
in france we have full hour (0.14/kwh) and empty hour (0.10/kwh). I would like to schedule full power during 8 hour and "quiet" during 16 hour.
Already implemented ? add it to the todolist ?

Thats a great suggestion. I think Spondoolies can add this to their next FW.

For now, if you're familiar with Linux, you can make a cron job. Its not too hard as all the tools are available in the current FW.

that's an option, but i don't want to manipulate the system since I don't completly understand it. do you have a best practice ?

Feel free to contact zvi@spondoolies-tech.com about this.

done !

Hi.
We will put it in our todo task queue, but not at high priority. What you can do for now is to set that in cron. Note that the time of miner is rather random, and you can not change it's time when it is mining. So do the following:

Set miner time:
1) ssh to your miner
2) spond-manager stop
3) date +%T -s "10:13:13"

In order to start miner in "quiet" mode, "echo 0 > /etc/mg_work_mode; spond-manager start".
In order to start miner in "turbo" mode, "echo 2 > /etc/mg_work_mode; spond-manager start".

Just add cron jobs you want.
Note that the system will forget the time after reboot, and it can reboot if your internet is down for over 5 minutes, so this is not proof solution. We will add timeserver support very soon.
Also note that directory /etc/ is non-volatile, while other directories are volatile.

I believe that we will have something ready within 2 weeks, but can not commit at this point.
