Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

I have no issue with a jumper on my boards.

Yep, no worries with a jumper to order some v1 boards here.

I'm fairly sure I'm ok with the jumper version... Can someone explain what that actually means? Sounds like there is just a wire that isn't as pretty as the final version?

Judging by 2pacs seconds jumper situation (if applicable here), it might be a tiny thin wire connecting two spots on the mb. On 2pacs it was maybe 3mm long and so thin that I had to use the mag glass lamp to pinpoint it. |

This one's a bit more obvious. Roughly 0.7 inches long. I had to make a change to how zombie recovery was handled in hardware once I got the firmware written, which necessitated a change to the PCB. So I still have all the previous not-as-good PCBs, which can be exactly as functional with the aid of two trace cuts and a jumper wire. But if we can use those, it basically doubles how many I can sell before a restock of PCBs arrive.

Awesome how soon can the shipment start ? If not a date then roughly the month it will start. |

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.

You can't mine Ripple and Monero is a totally different crypto. These miners will only mine SHA256 coins... for Monero there are no ASICs, only CPU and GPU mining |

I did 2 weeks ago, answer followed a day later but it was not what I was hoping for. no price estimation no shipping costs estimation and the hint to buy it at bitshopper (read pay 2-3x the original price if you can even get one) maybe we need some european solder kings who can build it in europe to keep costs down and avoid import costs? |

Back when chips were available from the factory, that's how it was done. The only reason I licensed the original Compac design to bitshopper was because he was making them in Germany specifically for EU market.
But not everyone with SMD infrastructure also has chumps available to scrub, strip and sort used chips from retired miners, and not everyone likes to go through all that trouble for what's considered pretty small batches.
Maybe when we catch up with new stuff using new chips, but for the time being there's only the one source (my factory, my people) and in Europe just the one reseller.

ok, I understand that also from reading replies from months ago on the other devices.
hopefully there will be more info soon regarding the pricing/shipping from Germany.
