Title: Gekkoscience “smarthub”???
Post by: gt_addict on December 02, 2023, 02:09:07 PM
Found this on ebay and thought I would bring peoples attention to it. Being part of the forum and owning genuine gekkoscience products I haven’t heard of anything of the sort from sidehack and the team. Just a headsup that its using the gekkoscience brand to mislead people into thinking its their product.

Yes he's mentioned it with similar images in my pool #gekko channel not long ago.
Gekko distributors should have them ... or soon.
Avoid scalpers on ebay.

In sidehacks words:
Quote
GekkoScience just announced a new product.
It's a powered USB hub with a Pi Zero 2 W, ethernet and OLED screen built in.
9 ports up top with room for snap-on fans. Full web config.
We're also making splitters so you can power a snap-on fan from the same port as the stick.
Works for USB and 2/3/4-wire 5V fans.

I'm working on the official announcement post, but yes it's a real product. The listing is legit; in fact, I'm sitting next to the guy who put it up. He's a newly minted reseller for UK and will have stock in hand in a few days.

Oh wow. Then my apologies to the guy then as I thought it was just another scam artist trying to capitalise on your brand. I’m very intrigued to say the least seeing as its genuine.

Is the link I posted the new UK reseller?

Hey, apology accepted! It was a fair assumption to make and I appreciate you looking out for people and Sidehack's brand. So I've been a long time lurker, first time poster here on the forum. Been involved with BTC since 2011 and a good friend of Sidehack for a while.

As mentioned, a formal announcement is coming on the SmartHub.
The site plastered on the eBay listing you posted is mine. (www.thesolomining.co (http://www.thesolomining.co))

Cheers!
