[FOR SALE/DONATION] GekkoScience 2Pac USB stick FACTORY SECONDS

[sidehack]

All y'all still asking for these need to take note of two things - the part in the first post which says SUPPLY IS LIMITED and the recent post by me saying they're out of stock for several weeks.

Just curious, did you raise the necessary funds to help your friend?

[sidehack]

Seriously? I literally just said I'm out of stock, have been for a week and will continue to be for several weeks.

Anyways the first post also says I don't ship to Europe.

I think you posted to the wrong thread. I was confused as to the reason behind your anger at first haha.

[sidehack]

Naw, looks like the guy I was responding to deleted his post.

Anyways it wasn't anger so much as incredulity.

With the questions I've seen you be asked in this thread, incredulity (and even a bit of anger) is justified.

As of right now, I'm out of stock on seconds. It'll be a couple weeks before I have more.

If you've paid in the last couple days, your order will ship tomorrow.

Sent you a PM. Interested in 2Pac Seconds (when you get more) and the pod.

[sidehack]

Okay. PM me again when I have announced stock of either of those things.

Will you be announcing it on this thread? Or do we need to keep our eyes peeled on the forums at large for a new post?

I need these as well - I am having my class explore cryptos, build RPi miner projects and monitor the efficiency of the miners and profitability of pool vs solo. The kids are really excited about this.

So I've got some more 2Pac seconds available. Not a final count right now, but I'll get more tested over the weekend.

BTC's boom has driven up the cost of ASICs to ridiculous levels. My general sales price has gone up, and the minimum selling price for seconds will go up the same amount. The new minimum is $32.

We're going to change things up a bit. I am employing Laura, the recipient of donated funds, to handle customer communication for small orders of things. We're still ironing out the kinks so gonna start off small, just 2Pac Seconds for now.

So instead of messaging or emailing me, you'll be contacting her - email address Laura at Gekkoscience dot com

Be polite, and don't forget to let her know the essentials:
0) that you specifically want 2Pac Seconds
1) desired quantity
2) expected payment amount
3) preferred payment method (BTC or PayPal)
4) shipping address

I'll update the first post with these changes as well.

Out of curiosity. Do you do anything with the dead sticks or ones that completely fail the first test?

[sidehack]

Not sure exactly what you mean by "fail the first test". Sticks that completely bomb out get tossed in a box to figure out later, sticks that don't run well enough to ship as stock get re-tested as seconds, and sticks that fail seconds testing get their chips stripped and replaced and run again.

[HagssFIN]

I've had this feeling that the pcb design is robust, so it is most likely the BM1384 failing if anything?

[sidehack]

Most likely. If the sticks pass my bench testing and move on to assembly and product testing, about the only way they fail later tests in ways unrelated to ASICs is if parts have been broken off the board. Getting to seconds testing is due to mediocre chips, failing seconds testing is due to very mediocre chips.

Bumpitty bump, got about 16 sticks now and another hundred to test. Last chance for a month or so.

For sure interested in at least one. I emailed Laura, so I hope to hear back soon and help out her recovery!
