Who likes pod miners?

What the port face looks like. We've got USB-A for 5V power out, and a mini USB for control. 12V can be drawn from either a PCIe 6-pin jack or a 2.1/5.5mm barrel jack (for running off a brick). The blue knob is used to adjust core voltage from about 0.63 to 0.80V chip-level, basically the same range as the 2Pac. It can be assembled with a vertical (pictured) or right-angle (front-facing) adjuster.

Wow! nice to see you got things to this point.  I would think that case designers would prefer the right-angle adjuster.

Hence why it's an option.

These will be fun to play with.

Will Laura be making a bitcointalk appearance? Would be nice to see an official gekkoscience agent/id/rep listed.

[sidehack]

I would guess that's up to her. A forum presence would probably make some things easier.

[TheNerdyType]

I would advise folks who are interested to email Laura (at gekkoscience dot com) so we can get a bead on market demand. Only gonna have so many of these at the start and I want to know how to divide them up.

Emailed. Thanks for the heads up.

This is totally off topic - but why did you name your company gekkoscience? I'm thinking you had the idea during on the beach in Hawaii sipping a tropical drink when a gecko fell on your head... Sort of like Isaac Newton and the apple...

[sidehack]

Nope, not at all. I'm way too cheap for Hawaii even if I didn't hate the beach.

Also please note - right now we are just getting an idea of interest. Nothing will be sold. Do not make payments because then I'll refund them and it's annoying.

(there are, however, a few stock 2Pacs available and that'll be a continuing policy so you may not have to buy from resellers only)

emailed!!!! totaly stoked we are so close!

Can you show an example of how to do that? I have to reboot my pi daily as it hangs, but I have to start by hand.

I found this fixed my pi hanging issue
add slub_debug=FPUZ to /boot/cmdline.txt
From https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=494625.msg5932931#msg5932931

To keep it running I followed these instructions to make a systemctl service

Edit to add this USB pi thread has had mine running for weeks now after not getting the pi to detect a known working for some else's hub.

Do you literally mean laura@gekkoscience.com? Website only mentions novak & kitten@gekkoscience.com in the "Contact Info". Forgive me, but 12+ years of memorizing military regulations makes me over-think things at times...

I look forward to putting in an order.

He does, indeed.

The address is: laura@gekkoscience.com.

For reference in how out-of-date the website is, Novak packed up and left two years ago.

[noviceminer]

Would a reply be given to the email or it is just to get an estimate on the demand ?

[sidehack]

Why not both?

I didn't answer the question because, if you send an email, the question should answer itself.

I got an email back...

[ricknamer]

Yep - Laura was fast, polite and helpful.
