As of right now, ALL ORDERS have been shipped and I am completely caught up.
I'm not sure that's ever happened with stickminers before.
You are awesome bro! I cannot wait to fire them up.  |

Thank you sir! Much appreciated. Any possibility on tracking numbers or am I ahead of the curve again? |

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. |

Now, I only need to do a little power optimization. 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. |

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

Hmmmm - Disco ASIC miners, now that is a reason to throw a party while mining crypto-currency  @in2tactics, I agree with jaco, you cannot leave us hanging like this man... pic us!!  Thanks |

I asked my wife what she thought of the lights. She responded with, "they are very nice. Now, make those disco thingies go away." Mission Accomplished... Humbly requesting some pics please @in2tactics?
Apologies, you are right. I should have uploaded some pictures. I will get those uploaded tonight. |

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.

That is great news on the shipped products, I feel like I played the lottery and am waiting for my prize to arrive. The anxiety is palpable Maybe just a SIDEnote  , if the Compacs can end up making us coffee and toast in the morning while flashing disco lights then I think our lives would be complete... |

Any chance of another round? I'm looking to get back into mining and a few USB miners would be a nice low-cost 'reintroduction' to mining.

Another round of what? Sales are still open. I've already shipped out about 200 batch-2 units.

YOUR BANNER SAYS THAT YOU WANT S5 BOARDS-- I have a number of S3 and S5 units gathering dust. What do you offer for the units? Do you only want the board components? From what I read here you are designing a replacement component for the S3 or S5 miner that an be used instead of the original chip board. Is that correct? I have been reading your BitCoinTalk threads for a while. Your projects are always fascinating. Please take the time to post an answer. --scryptr |
