Title: GekkoScience Compac stick miners sale announcement
Post by: sidehack on July 17, 2015, 05:50:00 PM
I don't know if anyone here cares about stick miners at all, or has been following the dev and review discussions over on the hardware forum, but sales are officially announced for our 8-16GH Compac stick miner.

It runs about 8GH off stock USB power, using a Bitmain BM1384 chip (same as on the S5) clocked to around 0.33W/GH
It's built for core voltage adjustment without "pencil modding" - but you do need a small screwdriver - and clock rate can be changed from cgminer, giving you full control of the hashrate and efficiency. Tested up to 16.5GH@7W with an external fan.

Looks like Luke-Jr will be working on BFGMiner support, and hopefully we can improve cgminer support in the coming weeks as well. Sales open in 32 hours.

See the actual sales thread for details:
- Sticks are $25 per unit regardless of quantity desired.
- Sales are limited to 10 sticks per person without prior arrangement. Any sale for more than 10 sticks will only be shipped 10 sticks and the surplus funds will be spent on sandwiches. You have been warned.

Yep, there's no minimum order quantity but so somebody doesn't buy up all of them and screw people over there's a limit of 10 sticks per person without making special arrangements with me. Sticks are $25 apiece in any quantity.
