Go to website. If out of stock, enter your email address to get notified. That's what I did, and I just got one a few weeks ago.

Yep still working through the wait list, I refuse to do pre-orders as many people here have been burnt with pre-orders....

Very respectable.  Wish more ventures did business this way

These things are fantastic, be sure to get on the waiting list!

Yes got on his waiting list. Do you know what the Eta for one of these is?

I don't, sorry! ,,,, I was on it like at least 9 months (?) , I had almost forgotten about it, but as soon as I got an email I bought one. Maybe swordfish can post how long here, but I have loved it ever since, it's perfect!

[Lesbian Cow]

And they are sold.

Received DaveF, thank you much. 

[owlcatz]

Damn you and that silver finger. I love that thing!

[AFox]

Got on the waiting list.
This looks like a good product.

I hope we can configure/add custom API's.

The BitcoinCash price seems to be reading the wrong price. It's showing $150 USD
There are a few other coins that are also off vs. CoinMarketCap / exchange pricing.
Is this an API call error to the servers or something else.

-Dave
*No I don't remember the other coins I had scrolling. I saw BCH was wrong and then I noticed another was off by 30% so I reset it without taking notes as to what I had saved.

Hey Dave,

The ticker currently uses : https://cryptofolio.info/welcome/coinsList - as the price source.

I’m not sure if it is being updated or not, but it’s not using CoinMarketCap which is why you are seeing a discrepancy.

Hope that helps.

Thanks!

Are you sure that is where it gets it's info?
At a quick glance LTC, PPC, NMC are all way off.

Since a few day your bitcoin ticker has connection problems.
Most of the time it shows no price. It works only from time to time.
I habe two tickers. It is the same on both tickets.
Can you please check this?

The ticker uses: https://cryptofolio.info/welcome/coinsList - as the source for data.
As of now it's just showing an error page.

swordfish6975 who made it has not been online for over 18 months: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=100319

So it might be gone for good or the server might just need a reboot and he will get to it.
The files that it runs are editable so if you can setup another server giving the same info you could just tweak the URL that it goes to and get it working.

Looks like it's back up as of now 16:30 EST on Friday. It's sluggish but it does work.
Did your ticker come back to life?

So, someone is at least handling something with the back end.
Other then swordfish6975  here does anyone have any contact info?

Looks like it is working again.

Are there any instruction available, how to change the server? Just in case it will not work again. I like that ticker so much.

None that I could find, and no notes on what data the server is giving out.

He is still active on twitter: https://twitter.com/cryptofolio
And if you go to https://cryptofolio.info/ under more he has email listed under contact.

For some reason they just dropped off this forum.

You can probably reach him one of those ways and see if they would give you any info on the back end.
No idea other then finding a programmer and having them check it all out.

- Download the firmware and updater source from https://afkdata.com/updater/afkupdater_1.6.zip
- In "3.Updater/Code/" open http_client.lua with a text editor
- Near the bottom replace cryptofolio.info with the url of a new host serving a compatible api
- Follow the original procedure to update the device

1. Have device unplugged from windows PC
2. Inside folder 3. run afkupdater.exe
3. Note down the COM ports in the list
4. Plug in Device and Wait a ~ 1 minute, hope windows installs driver for you
5. Press arrow next to COM Port
6. If there is one extra COM port select the new port from list (if not install USB com port driver from folder 1.)
7. Look at Circuit board where USB plugs in
8. Set Yellow or Black based on colour
9. Press List Files  -> may get error this is normal
10. Press List Files again  - no error this time
11. Press Update.
12. Let it do its thing.


Don't need to do folder 2. because this should already be in the device.



Linux or OSX instructions are much more complicated.


EDIT: the target size for http_client.lua is size 3317  - the top box is wrong.

Any ETA on when they will be in stock again? Really interested in picking one up.

No one knows... Perhaps the "only" way to get this is to follow this advice.

CloudFlare changed something and screwed a bit of crap code I wrote all those years ago, I can't seem to override it in my CloudFlare account. Turning off CloudFlare at this stage is not an option, I've been ddosed before and it's not pleasant for me or my ISP.

First thing I did was a hacky fix to the existing code base, while this works V1.7 it could break again at any time. I then spent almost the whole weekend rewrite the codebase in the device from scratch in a different language, I've called this 2.0 Beta.

Both are in the normal spot on afkdata.com to download. If you decide to use the 2.0 Beta and then don't like it to go back you need to use the flasher from folder 2. In 1.7 once that's done restart the device and use the exe from folder 3.

I'm interested in feedback on the 2.0 Beta flashing.
