[RUN 2 CLOSED][SIDEHACK STICK]GekkoScience Compac Official sales thread

[Jake-R]

So, a day late of the adjusted "when I can finally get that taken care of" schedule we've got parts on order for Compacs and some other stuff. Which means next week I'll be catching up current pending orders and the week after I could be selling from stock. I really like selling from stock.

Do you have any that run with MultiMiner in stock?

[sidehack]

I have none in stock.

Also, a better framing of the question would center around a version of MultiMiner which works with the stick, rather than a version of the stick that works with MultiMiner. I only know our cgminer build and the latest BFGMiner that know what this stick is. Never used, or even seen, MultiMiner. Maybe you should peruse the support thread linked in the first post.

Thank you, I guess it doesn't matter much if there are none in stock. MultiMiner is a GUI miner. BFGMiner is the primary back-end miner that it uses.

BFG 5.3 introduced Compac support, but it looks to have been improved in 5.4

We just got parts in Friday afternoon to start the next batch. Right now I'm optimizing the pick-and-place program and if I haven't started placing today I will tomorrow. I should be caught up to the queue in about a week and will be shipping from stock then.

[sidehack]

So I realized I haven't updated the second-round queue. I've got a bushel of sticks placed and baked, and will be spending time over the next several days on finishing touches. I don't expect pod prototype stuff to come in until middle of next week, but I will have to take a day or two in the next week to work on hosting infrastructure expansions. I should have the entire queue caught up pretty soon though.

Thanks for the update.  You have quite the amount of projects going which is good.

I'm excited were getting close.  I've had a ton of fun with the compacs and playing with them.  My next plan is to make a modded usb hub and go even higher should be fun.

[sidehack]

Well, gotta pay the bills somehow. Gekkoscience is my full-time job and the more stuff we build and sell, the better able I am to be not completely broke. That, and it's also a lot of fun.

The hosting expansion will drop my rates to 8.9 cents (about $65/KW-month) in case anyone's interested. No minimum, no prepay contract, VPN remote access included.

[Jake36]

Weren't you gonna hook me up with one of those for some cross-promotion?

I just got one and I am running 20 sticks on it.

nice hub.

I'm trying to get 1 of these, but can't get 1 to survive Amazon shipping.

2 for 2, DOA 

Second 1, I just picked up out of the box and something was already rattling around. Turned it on it's side and there was a cap flopping around.

Actually called Amazon and told them to pass a note down to the shipping department, PUT SOME PADDING in the box, place hub in, and PUT SOME PADDING on top (maybe the 3rd time will be the lucky one, if not I give up).

You know it's bad when you got to tell Amazon how to do packaging and thats supposed to be their business!

So 1000W miner in your facility for $65 a month? might almost be worth selling my car to get an avalon6 there and setup for a few months, till I cant make enough to pay for itself monthly.. profit on that you ask? won't be able to get my car back..

[sidehack]

Yep, that's the terms.

dude they have killed 2/3 of the things I recently ordered as well...they seem to be lacking spacial awareness...boxes way too big for items and 1 air packet placed on the top..its no surprise!

First sticks of the second round are out. I should be caught up with all current orders probably tomorrow.

Also, prototype PCBs for the pod miner came in.

I might be interested in buying one or two sticks from you, as it's quite expensive at bitshopper.de.
Can I do this if I'm currently located in Europe?

I got my 6 from asicpuppy and I live in France.
You got to factor in the shipping cost, but they arrive fast and are the original ones
Bitshopper got the schematics and build their own version... and I think they're out of stock at the moment...

[philipma1957]

How much heat do these produce?

Utterly ridiculous question...but if I put a bunch of these in a corner of a room how well do you think they would heat that corner?

And also are they still for sale?

20 of these do 110 watts or so at low clock but they would be quiet.

[sidehack]

Updated the queue. One big order and a few internationals remain, which will probably go out Tuesday.

I don't see the sticks for sale on asicpuppy.com though.

[chrysophylax]
