Who likes pod miners?

[philipma1957]

I plan on using this psu
can do 4 with ease and is small sized

my 49 port hub has 6 compacs and a 2 pac.

I thought sidehack was sending me a tester unit but I must of dropped the ball on reminding him about it.

I simply get too many pms for  escrow and gpu reviews along with lots of other projects.

I would like to get one to show the setup.

They sell spare pcie cables and the psu has three jacks for pcie/cpu

This means three dual pcie cables for six pods.  Pulling 300-320 watts.

Plus the 24 pin can plug into a 49 port usb hub doing a few two pacs

I had my 4 - 808 and one 2 pac work but now only have 2 - 808 working.

Can't seem to fix the other two, they are stuck in zombie mode.

I might have missed this earlier on in the thread... its possible to run the new pods and some 2Pacs on the same rig?

Yes, they work fine, and have independent frequency settings

I'm not under the impression that any of these products are profitable. You actually want to make your money back and make a profit? Go buy an Antminer S9 or DragonMint. Even then profitability is dicey.

By the way, anyone asking support-type questions like how to use these things should do so in the support thread.

[sunk818]

So, the pod miners that include a power brick... do you have details on how many watts they will supply? Post 1 seems to mention 100GH/s vs 140 GH/s power bricks require different top wattage. I've been looking on eBay and looks like used XBOX 360 power bricks 150W cost around $15 although the tip is for XBOX 360 and not sure if they can be converted for your pod miners.

Also, does 2Pac have 2 BM1384, so a pod miner would equal 4 2Pac Gekko in terms of number of BM1384 chips...?

No response at all, or no response about placing an order? Because if there's no response at all, she probably didn't get your message.

I got response, placed the order, paid it in full via PayPal (4 days ago). No communication from Laura since then.

The next thing you'd hear would be a tracking number when it ships.

[minerbobbert]

These have been shipping for less than a week and people are already reselling them on eBay.

Makes me sad. 😝

Cool!!! I bid on one. Didn't win I will have to wait for my place in the queue.

You should buy directly from sidehack. He's got great service and you'll pay less. Only downside is you have to wait.

I wouldn't want to be that guy selling these on eBay. sidehack makes it perfectly clear: If you have problems with a device, take it to who you bought it from.

If you got yours from sidehack, you're golden; support and service from the designer, engineer, AND manufacturer. If you bought it from someone else, you have ... them. Good luck.

Some guy is selling 3 of them on ebay.com

Don't understand the hate. put them up for 99 cents, no reserve. People in the European and Asian market want these too and didn't have the opportunity to buy them from sidehack. I was adamant about following this thread so I could be one of the first ones on the list, checking it multiple times a day. Almost everyone bidding is from Europe or Asia.  US buyers already know to buy them from sidehack, European and Asian buyers never had the chance.

[sidehack]

European buyers can get actual EU-legal-and-approved ones from bitshopper.de and Asian customers only don't have them because they didn't ask.

You are responsible for customer support, though, don't forget that. My general policy is I provide support to your customers only if you fail to do so, but if you fail to do so you stop being one of my customers. Fair's fair.

[zachj00]

I agree 100%.  Tech support is open almost all hours of the day, as said in my listings.  All my units are tested working on my rpi3 setup and ran perfect for 4ish hours. Wouldnt want to stop becoming your customer, as I am an avid lover of your miners
