Power Supply: 2 x 1200W
Power Consumption: 3000W

Huh

WTF

By the way, I don't like the idea of 3000W for 1 machine ... I live in 13A@220V zone, meaning 3000W JUST exceeded the supply of 1 socket ... thus the machine will need 2 sockets, wasting the socket slot.

Also, putting too much into 1 machine means when a small part in it fails, the whole machine fails. Where as if I split into, say, 10 x S3, it's more robust, more deployable, and flexible.

yeah if I had know about the s3s coming online and that SP-TECH would no hit the 5-6TH number I would have def gone with a bunch of s3s
I'll be looking for a hosting company when my SP30 arrives

Spondoolies thinks it is no big deal they missed the target by a mile. However, all those who carefully planned out a target to profit on pretty thin margins - got royally fucked. Now RoadStress is running around saying: 'just have it hosted'. Well, many miners didn't want to pay the service charge of hosting. They wanted to rely on what Spondoolies said and host themselves. They believe in the power spec. They believed in the hashing spec. Which would have worked - except one thing: spondoolies didn't know what the fuck they were doing despite telling everyone: "Seriously, we know what we are doing." They also said: "you can take that uncertainty out of the equation". So we all did. Now, its not Spondoolies getting fucked - we are getting fucked. Spondoolies still has the same amount of money as if they delivered the full spec. They didn't. Now everyone is scrambling to do what they can with the new parameters. Changing from a planed site to a hosted site is not trivial. This is a real impact on peoples plans. RoadStress spent a shitload of time in other thread bashing the fuck out of other projects. Now that SP30 project is all fucked up - he says: you should not be using these at home anyway. Well, if the specs were correct, they'd actually work on 120V @ 20 amp. But as we were all stupid suckers and believed the bravado from Spondoolies - and fully did not expect the serious shortcoming which is the SP30 underperforming machine - abortion of engineering - we don't know what we are doing - we are now fucked looking for new arrangement to try to break even.

There is only one solution: Spondoolies must make a seriously kickass gen3 machine and offer it to previous buyers at cost. It is the only way they will come right. The compensation package is silly for the reasons spelled out by many above which say that power cost the big let down.

SP50 is the only serious fair recourse. If Spondoolies wants everyone to be happy, they will go back to work, and build the best machine ever and let loyal customers into the earliest release.

Anything else is just about as lame as KnC.

Notice how Spondoolies is acting just like KnC now. KnC released a few Neptunes and now they say: "Neptune shipped on time". It didn't. They shipped a few on time, many thousands are not shipped and won't be for a long time. Now, Spondoolies released a few SP30s and they claim: "we shipped on time". However, they haven't shipped a serious number of them - just a few. Spondoolies is looking more like KnC everyday.
