sidehack, i've emailed Laura about purchasing some 2pac seconds (no reply yet), but what ever happened to the USB hubs you were thinking about making?

Funny you should mention the hubs. I picked that one back up over the weekend with a bit of a concept change that should make everything better. I intend to start prototyping sub-circuits as soon as I get more time to run out a board layout.

awesome news! (though Laura told me that 2pac Seconds were sold out ATM this morning... ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) ) I would love a nice USB hub that doesn't cost an arm and a leg!

Thanks Sidehack & Laura! Just received my 2Pac in the mail today! Super quick shipping, packed well, and seems to work great!
Will look forward to working with you guys in the future as well!

I think we're sold out right now. There's one left in the box but she might have an order pending for that.
I think she's making a list to let people know when we have some more, which likely won't be for at least another 3 weeks.

My little order of 2Pac seconds just arrived. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) One stick generates a lot of HW errors. I think this little guy is going to be the test mule on the USB project I'm starting next week (parts were shopped today). If this kludge works, I'll post some pictures. Otherwise, I'll wallow in my failure silently. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Thanks to @sidehack for the great service!

Received my order! Whoo Hoo! Now I just have to wait for my blasted USB Hub to show up ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) I don't suppose anyone has any hub recommendations when I get above 10 sticks??

Hey Zillions. Check out www.theminingoutpost.com They have a couple high powered USB hubs. I have the 20 port one and it works great!

I updated the first post with new information about sales, including how to contact Laura about purchasing and interest.
We've also got some stock of regular 2Pacs (not seconds) available.

By the way, I have 2Pac Seconds in stock again. Also regular stock sticks are available for immediate shipment. Also the Terminus 8-chip pod miner, got some of those. Email sales@gekkoscience.com or PM me for purchasing.

Thanks for the great work and to support your efforts I purchased two seconds a few days ago. I did have a question about shipping and if you are doing bulk shipping after a certain number of orders are reached or shipping them as orders are received.
Thanks Again and look forward to see what you come up with next.

Everything's in stock right now, so orders get shipped as early as it's convenient for me to do so.

I received my two seconds one was DOA and the other one is crazy unreliable at any voltage or MHz. I'm kind of bummed but know the money is going towards helping someone in need.
Thanks.

DOA? That's weird. They're tested thoroughly before shipping out. PM me to discuss options for resolution.

So, Laura's had to go back into treatment. As it happens, I have some 2Pac Factory Seconds available again. It's a coincidence though, and we were all hoping she'd never be in this situation again.
If these don't sell, they'll be stripped for usable parts and recycled. So I'll sell them for $10 over the value of usable parts and that extra $10 will go to help her cover costs, same as always. Current going rate is $16 plus shipping. Once they're gone, they're gone.

I'm really sorry to hear about Laurie. PM sent.

Nope, hence why there's no mention of them in the original post, original post's update or the update post. Pay no attention to stuff from three months ago. The R808 is gone and it's not coming back.
