Collider, jtoomim, Roadsress or anyone with the early machines:
Please post your statistics and whether you achieved sustained ~4.5TH at 208-220V (please post your voltage) and what was the speed at 110/120V if applicable (I assume 4.1Th). Thanks.
Has anyone actually received the SP30 yet?
these are the 'july' batch
i imagine dogie & perhaps roadstress didnt part with any coin, i could be mistaken
there was a spondoolie post regarding 'our 63 units' earlier
I paid a premium for a July shipment of one SP30, purchased through the April/July "Better Together" bundle that cost a bundle. My miner was shipped on July 30th, and arrived in Washington at our datacenter on August 1st. Our organization (which is mostly just my brother and I) has purchased a total of 68 units, not 63. Of those, 37 are from Roadstress's group buy, one I've already received, and the other 30 are September units.
My SP30 has been running a smidgeon shy of 4.0 TH/s for a few days on 122V. I'm certain the SP30 can be run at higher hashrate on our 122V (since I saw it for a few minutes), but due to a bug in some of the earlier firmware versions I wasn't able to sustain that performance, and the current firmware hardcaps the PSU DC supply to 1080W. My miner has a record of being stress-tested at 4.5 TH/s in Israel, so I presume that once I have it on 200+V, I'll be able to get 4.5 TH/s or higher with it again. Current stats are below. I just rebooted it because I wanted check its fit in our racks.
Our 250V transformer should be coming online soon. I might be able to sneak in a few tests on ~250V (maybe 254V) in a few days. Once we get inspected for our electrical work, I'll be able to put our SP30s on the 250V for good.
Those of you who have been talking about hosting: you may want to take a look at my datacenter, the Toomim Bros. Bitcoin Mining Concern, Ltd. Our website is
Toom.im. We're usually cheaper than hosting at home. We're also less expensive than any other hosting provider I know of, although a couple of other services come close. Rates for an SP30 (assuming 3 kW) are $270/month for month-to-month hosting with no installation fees, and $210/month if you pay 12 months in advance. We'll be coming online within two weeks. If you send an early August batch unit straight to us from Spondoolies, we might not be able to turn it on for a few days, since we're still finishing up construction and inspections. We should be fully ready for late August and all September units, though. Video tours are available on Skype (id: jtoomim).

If I can get my hands on another SP-30 I would def be interested in your hosting deals, seems like the best rate out there right now. I calculated the amount of s3 units I would nee to simulate the performance of a SP30 and its around 11 s3s each using about 340 Watts would use up around 3800 watts of power a tad more than an SP30 plus you have more machines and PSU's you worry about.
Ad on top of that even though they ship from stock they would cost you $600 or so more.
SP-TECH rather than giving us a retroactive discount on the units we already ordered , we need coupons RIGHT now so those who are interested can put them towards September gear. I had set my mind on at least 6 TH of power this summer so for me to meet my hash power goal if I need to order another unit that is fine but I would like to get some sort of discount to make it more palatable.
If I don't see anything in this thread by Thursday I'll contact sales and see if we can work something out for next week because I still think even with the lower hash rate SP-TECH makes the best miner on the planet.
