Who likes pod miners?

[quantumbit]

$125 and I'll take 4

[rem26]

I'd take 4 at $125 too.  Seems like a reasonable spot between the 2pac and a full blown asic miner.

[zachj00]

I'll also take 1 for 125 if that's the price. Do you think that will be the kit price or just for the miner? Been looking forward to the terminus for awhile and am super excited!

[aarons6]

so these are going to be around 100 ghs at 40 or so watts?

[gartor]

I look forward to buying seven  terminus pods with cables and power supplies.

[-EOS-]

I'm in for 5 at $100 or $125

[achtung082]

I'll do 5 at the price you set.

100MHz (44GH) 660mV/node 2.64V total; 12V 1.4A for 16.8W/0.38J/GH
125MHz (55GH) 660mV/node 2.64V total; 12V 1.7A for 20.4W/0.37J/GH
150MHz (66GH) 660mV/node 2.64V total; 12V 2.0A for 24.0W/0.36J/GH
175MHz (77GH) 693mV/node 2.77V total; 12V 2.5A for 30.0W/0.39J/GH
200MHz (88GH) 715mV/node 2.86V total; 12V 3.1A for 37.2W/0.42J/GH
225MHz (99GH) 755mV/node 3.02V total; 12V 3.8A for 45.6W/0.46J/GH
250MHz (110GH) 770mV/node 3.08V total; 12V 4.4A for 52.8W/0.48J/GH
275MHz (121GH) 770mV/node 3.08V total; 12V 4.9A for 58.8W/0.49J/GH

I think 275MHz is reaching the upper limit of the main regulator.

You might be able to get stable results with a lower core voltage. The onboard controller will have an automatic reset function if it detects the chips lock up and drop out, which will help overall stability when operating near thresholds. That wasn't available for the above tests, so I'll repeat tests when everything's finalized.

Pretty much everything is being sold to raise money for future projects. I don't take in investment money or anything, so building and selling is the only way to move forward. The Terminus and 2Pac originally started as a project to raise money for Bitfury gear development. I've got newer better stuff in the R&D pipeline, and sales of current products will fund their development and manufacture.

I'm coordinating with a friend in need (see sig links) about doing small sales on commission. If that works out, y'all will have a point of contact a whole lot more patient and cheerful than I tend to be. So that's good news for everyone. We'll get pricing figured out shortly.

I would be interested for buying one Terminus pod, and can do a nice review thread for it. 

If it is not too painful process to send it here Finland.

[aballen]

definitely interested in picking up a few of these.

[wavelengthsf]

My vote for price would be $125, but understanding the demand for miners, I wouldn't be surprised to see them go for more.

[spazzdla]

I would 100% pay $125 usd.. I'd probably pay more too..

[kipper01]

I'll probably take 4-6 depending on the price.  Sidehack I'll let you decide the price you know time and hours spent on these and how many burgers you need to buy.

[minerbobbert]

Looks like $125 is the popular price point here. Is this the final verdict on what the overall hash rate on one of these will be?

Pending numerical surprises on the final product, I'd pay $125 for a set of 4. $500 seems like a reasonable deal based on what you've written so far...

Sounds fun and I good place to start. Promising

Please put me down for a a few for Europe Region

[Namrok]

I'd be in for 4@$100 or 3@$125.  Very excited about these.

[ragnar.danneskj]

I'd be in for a few @100-120

[gvb]

It's nice to see some progress on this project and especially the testing on the rpi3.

I bought a pi3 2 months ago for the 2pac or was it the moonlander but didn't get my hands on one.

the proposals of $100-125 seems alright for starters.

hopefully it gets spread in smaller amounts so that everyone gets the chance to get atleast one.
some of the bulk buyers seem to focus on high profit selling on ebay and not the mining itself.

Are there any photos somewhere from the final design?

[sidehack]

Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed by some of the sellers online charging 400% markups. I've talked to my friend Laura, beneficiary of the 2Pac seconds and hacked S7 sales, about doing direct sales on commission. She'd be handling Terminus sales to individuals once those are launched, plus I'd be setting aside a certain number of 2Pacs every week for small orders without crazy markup. Works out for everyone because y'all won't have to pay embarassingly high prices, she gets some extra income and I can keep focusing on making stuff instead of communicating with customers all day (the primary reason small sales were closed).

I don't have any good Terminus pictures handy but I definitely will post some before/when sales open.

[nudies]

Woo I'll buy one@$100-125 range. Thanks again for all your hard work on these!
