The plain silver heatsink is because my regular supplier of heatsinks wasn't gonna be able to provide a bid until March, and after the procurement agent I handed the request to did a little bit of legwork and then forgot about the whole thing, I just bought a bunch of cut-to-length on short notice and got a guy drilling them out here in the shop. Nothing fancy, sorry.
The blank side of the stick won't be blank on the production version. Both US and bitshopper versions have a full-logo silkscreen and whatnot like the original Compac, I just didn't care to do all the manual mirror-image edits for that layer in time for the prototype sticks.
Ah sounds good, thanks for the clarification. Figured that it'd be this way but I wasn't sure. Not that big of a deal to me anyways, miners are miners
Phil, this is the fan you're using, right?
http://amzn.to/2kaGf8N Checked it out a while ago but I didn't know if it was good at all or not, might consider it after getting my 2pac.
your link is to the smaller 80 mm by 80 mm
this one below is the 120 mm by 120 mm far better fan for up to 4-6 sticks at freq 200-300
not good enough for monster over clocking in the 375-410 freq area

This has been corrected and the number is now 967 on both websites.
So if you order that march 1 unit be sure to check and see that the numbers match on hashnest and bitmain as they should .
Also if you purchased the s9 at the 917 rate ask for a refund of around 60 usd. I really would like to see and read if you got stuck and if they fix it.
as a heads up coinbase is quoting btc at 960 usd
bitmain is quoting btc at 917
thus you lose about 65 dollars if you use coinbase.
Hashnest has coins at 956
since hashnest and bitmain share the same website and are under the same umbrella it is really fucking bad that they do not match Take a look
