Congratulations on your success! I'm very satisfied with my SP-10, and am looking forward to great new innovations from you in the future (SP-15, SP-30, and perhaps the next-generation SP-50 - a 10TH/s beast on 20nm chips with the same power draw as the SP-30)

EDIT: The SP-50 is a fictitious product that I have made up (but hope sees the light of day) and in no way represents Spondoolies-Tech product pipeline

Congrats SP-Tech!

Jonnybravo0311 there won't be an SP-15 I'm afraid. It seems that people aren't interested in small miners anymore. As for the SP50 I expect at least 4x more hashrate than the SP30 and at least same power as SP30. The hashrate jump would equal the one from SP10 to SP30.

I also congratulate SP, your professionalism on these boards and by email is a joy after all the rubbish companies we have previously had to deal with.

As to the SP15, there would be a market for it if it was available shortly I think it was the wait time that killed it, if they go ahead and build them I am sure they will sell.

With lots more suppliers out there now, the age of pre-orders is drawing to a close (hurrah), as much as it's a risk for companies, building and shipping from stock (or short wait) it is going to be the only way going forward.

totally agree with all your points, including the congratulations that Sp-Tech deserves. Here's what I can see regarding pre-orders...
SP-Tech have assured there is no risk in pre-ordering the SP30, and going by past performance (short time though it may be) I see it as a safe bet.
I'm also over the moon that their Gen3 are not going to be pre-order, and the honest reasons are given by SP-Tech without a thought to competition are to be applauded.

I can admire a company who hold this much confidence in the expertise of their people and in their actual product, and, has to be said... market leaders; for a long time to come.
So, yeah, forward is the only way - i've been screwed over too many times and gathered too many wrinkles in my head to take on a pre-order that doesn't look solid and feasible. Sp-Tech are indeed; solid and feasible. I sleep well knowing any investment I make in Spondoolies, is a safe one.

ok missed this memo? no pre-order at all..ie equip on hand to ship from day 1 or pre-order in the sense how spondoolies has been doing tape out done and 4-6 wks max?
