I know I'm asking a lot of questions but...

Do you have side by side picture of a Compac and 2Pac?
Or the dimensions of the 2Pac?

Being that it has the same heatsink, it looks like they are the same overall size with the heatsink the same distance from the USB plug? So when a Compac and 2Pac are plugged in next to each other they would look the same? Other than the pcb goes all the way to the top of the heatsink on the 2Pacs.

I'm just trying to plan out my setup to account for the 2Pacs when I get them. 

Understood. Thank You!

So the 2Pacs should be essentially plug and play into an existing setup using Compacs?
Just swap out the current cgminer-gekko with the new cgminer-vhVersion?

I thought I saw where you had said they were software adjustable voltage.
After re-reading through things said previously I found where you mentioned it, but now I believe you were referring to the pods.
I did find where you specifically stated the stick miners would be manual.
Sorry about that. 

Ok, so we will need to run two instances of cgminer, one for Compacs and one for 2Pacs?

Forum readers want a couple of things:
1. Knowledgeable people.
    a. That can answer questions.
    b. A large well of knowledge to search through
2. A community.

Those things are hard to create from nothing. Any form of "bribery" to get people to start using the forum will not work to create those things that are wanted.

Especially when you are trying to create another forum for which forums already exist.

To have a successful forum it needs to be about a topic that many people are interested in and does not already exist.

Glad to see things moving along nicely. 

I assume that the new cgminer that vh is working on will be able to adjust voltage on the 2Pacs and leave the Compacs alone?

There are already many threads about this. Here is a recent one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1606579.0

Maybe this needs to be here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0

Good luck with such a new account on here.

Sounds good, can't wait to see those pics.

I'm working on getting my Pi setup with Minera and working with 4 compacs, hopefully when I get the 2Pacs it will be a smooth addition.

Essentially, yes.

As I said it may be required very rarely, but when it would be required people will most likely use someone that is already highly trusted. So it would be very difficult to gain people's trust without having past interactions that gained you trust.

You need to start small and work your way up. A situation that would require a mediator would most likely be over a large amount of BTC.

Typically the escrow would deal with the disputes, so I don't know if there would be a need for a fourth party to get involved.
Maybe some situation might call for it, but it would be rare.

Paid out: No Payout, since no tickets were purchased, I rolled everything over to the next round. I will probably just roll over my winnings for the next couple rounds.

I'm also going to move the next drawing out another 750 blocks, so the next one will be 446500. This should put the next drawing around Dec 28th.

With a rollover = 0.04682259

You can start buying tickets for the next round. Block 446500

The excitement is building for the upcoming miner porn. 

200 more blocks until the next "drawing". Get your tickets now! 

Because Kano does not approve of it.

I think everyone knows why it is names 2Pac. I'm pretty sure the "Biggie" comment was just a joke. 

This is why: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biggie_%26_Tupac

Trust me I know. That is why I bolded the important part of your comment.
I thought maybe if it was a little larger they could decipher the letters.
