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

[sidehack]

Nope. I got better things to work on than a third batch of a stick miner with a 14-month-old chip.

Sorry to hear that, may be someone who bought the big lot of this will resell some of them.
Thanks

[sidehack]

Hey, I never said I wouldn't work on a stickminer with a newer chip. Also yes, I have big orders for three resellers going out.

[Biodom]

Well, looks like someone done bought up the rest of the batch. Sales are closed.

Someone bought up the rest 200 sticks!!!. I am not fast enough to order this batch.
Do you have a plan to run third batch for sale? I think there are still many people that want to try this stick.

these people can periodically check the Marketplace area-right now is a good time

Using  Bfgminer on a Minii laptop I can load 43 working with my 49 port hub.



Sweeet Lord.. Over 400GH about 200watts

Any idea when you are shippping my sticks? (2 sticks to Belgium, ordered a couple of weeks ago)

(I've seen you sticks on other sites for 35$)

[sidehack]

I don't have any orders listed under "justchill". Without knowing who you are, I can't give more information.

Got more Compacs going out today. There probably would be more, but I took last weekend off (which was nice; going to work for between 8 and 12 hours a day gets old after 12 straight days) and most of this week was spent catching up on New Product Design. I've got a few prototype PCBs to send off for probably this afternoon, which might turn into something cool.

Coming up in the queue are big orders to restock Bitcoinware and ASICPuppy. The last big order went to HolyBitcoin. So, y'all wondering about where to buy should talk to those guys.

And no, once this batch is done I will not be making more BM1384 Compacs. I'm getting very tired of dealing with those chips. Building a stick with pull chips takes about three times longer than building with new, especially when the chips are pulled from dead boards - which guarantees you that a bunch of them don't work. So, once this 750 batch is done that's the end of the BM1384 Compac.

The orders are going out in the order received regardless of order size correct? Think I remember mine coming in when the sold number was around 300 or so.

[sidehack]

Yep, yours is going out this afternoon. I'll have you a tracking number tonight or tomorrow.

The end of a great product is always a sad news, but I, for one, am very glad you pulled this off.

THANK YOU !

[sidehack]

Well don't tell anyone I told you this, but I did today send out for prototype PCBs for a version that'll mount a BM1385, and approximately doubled the current rating of the buck's inductor. And my next round of protos will probably feature an Avalon A3218 version with software voltage control and temp sensing. The board's already drawn, I just want to work on the firmware on a testbench a bit before committing to the layout because I might end up changing some pins around on the micro. Unfortunately those would both be pulled-chip designs (unless Avalon starts selling) but maybe it'll be upgraded to Bitfury sometime if I get access to those (which is in the works).

Cool, thanks for the heads up and all the hard work getting these out to us quickly.

[JASchilz]

Looking forward to receiving my order. I've got a hope that once efficiency levels off, the masses of hobbyists can catch up with commercial miners; thanks for keeping us on the cutting edge!

[sidehack]

About 40 sticks in a dozen-odd small orders, and two big bulk orders, are all that remains to ship. There'll be a delay because I have to get more parts, which I probably should have done already but I've been a little busy lately.

Never got that tracking number.

[sidehack]

Yeah, by the time I'd have gotten to it was about the time it should have been delivered. The information I needed to connect the tracking number on the post office receipt to your email address is all at the shop, and I didn't get to the shop until Monday, and it should have arrived Monday or Tuesday.

[sneezewortt]

received mine, they are all working great! Can't wait to see whats coming next! Thanks again

To whoever put up some Compacs on Amazon and then gave my personal email address to a customer so he could spam me with "I'm an idiot, please hold my hand" help requests", from multiple email addresses, with read receipts - screw you, seriously.

Also to the person who put these down on an Amazon listing as imported from China, screw you too. Unless you're the same guy, in which case screw you forever. Don't expect any help from me next time you want anything.
