I opted for fast shipping and got a tracking number, I then requested USPS to mail me an update the moment something happens, last update was - Your item cleared customs in SOUTH AFRICA at 10:31 am on May 15, 2017.

So it is on its way to me and I am so excited, I just can't hide it... 

Expecting Speed Services or some courier service to hopefully surprise me by Thursday or Friday or maybe next week who knows... That's all part of the fun and mystery that is SAPO.

How do you know it is with customs.. di you recieved any calls from them.... just curious as waiting for mine

I agree , or a reseller because the price per unit on here works out to about R500 (depending on shipping costs) and the only other GekkoScience 2pac miners I can find are all over R1000 and out of stock.

Looking to buy some USB miners for 'shits & giggles'. Anyone point me to a source willing to take BTC and ship to Australia?

As soon as I had a working Compac, I built like ten of them and took them home to run overnight where I could observe performance. It was fun having that many flashy lights in the room all night.

I meant that too though, that the flashy light part was the fun part. Power was fairly straightforward (when I finally got it working, the production version was by no means the first draft) and chip comms were very straightforward, but the flashy lights part was fun. It's actually got a double NFET inverter triggered off the RX line, where the second FET has a parallel RC on the gate to hold it high longer and that's what kicks the R and B elements in the RGB LED to make the white-ish flash. Without that the flash would be imperceptibly fast since a share return is like 5 bytes at 115kbaud. So it's not complex at all, but I like to think it's at least clever.

The Terminus uses a similar circuit, but instead of the RGB LED it's got a discrete blue LED and discrete white LEDs that flash. That way there's no weirdness going on with white-balance. Keeps it consistent. And also dead sexy.

Additionally, to stay on the subject of selling 2Pacs and whatever, I shipped out more orders today. We're operating out of standing stock right now so orders are shipped "immediately". I put that in quotes because I only actually send out packages on Tuesday and Friday.

Truth be told, designing the blinky light circuit was my favorite part.

It looks like I am getting about 6.12w to 6.14w per device with a frequency of 175MHz at the default Vcore of 1.26v. The hashrate for each is pushing about 19.1GH/s to 19.2GH/s after a few hours on p2pool at a manually set difficulty of 32. One of the sticks does seem to average about 1 HW error every 30 minutes. I bet if I up its Vcore one notch it will drop.

I have to say that I am really happy with the current result. Oh, I cannot forget the blinky lights! I love the fact that sidehack includes them. HaHa... He certainly thinks of everything.

I am super stoked. I received my 3x 2PACs today! They all appear to be functioning well straight out of the box with my RPi2 on a 60w powered usb hub. Now, I only need to do a little power optimization.
