It is also 15BTC for 500 units.
Down to 13.9 now. wow, 0.0278 BTC / unit is a really great price. |

Beside the heatsink they look like the u1. can not see any improvement.
They will be overclock able out of the box- no need for changing any resistors. looking at this picture, you will still have to do the resistor swap  https://i.imgur.com/JppeTHU.jpg |

Check the area around U5 - that's where most of the changes are.  (warped a U1 pic to make them overlap) |

Yeah, though it looks like mostly caps. The fat and small one to the USB port side of U5 seem to be hooked up to U5, so maybe things coming out of it were a little unstable and its input needed better filtering. Any software-side overclocking would probably just be in the firmware, in which case I'm not sure why it wouldn't be possible to do the same on the U1..except for that small heatsink being inadequate  Will just have to await more tech info. |

Does anyone know how to overclock them? It seems it works different than the U1, at least I am not able to OC them yet.

Does anyone know how to overclock them? It seems it works different than the U1, at least I am not able to OC them yet.
If they run the same as the U1 then it would take the same cgminer parameter to overclock it, i.e. adding '--anu-freq 250' would make them run at 2GH |

Anyone knows about the voltage?
Is by the miner the Stock 0,8 V or a little bit more?

Is anyone even considering buying these? 20 of these is about 1BTC and packs just 60GH when OC-ed. It will be months before ROI and by then difficulty would already be higher, especially if the mythical monarchs and other pre-ordered miners ever do ship out

I think buying any StickMiner thinking you'd make a monetary positive ROI would be silly at best.. unless you can get them for very cheap and don't have to pay for electricity and don't mind running them for a very, very long time, that is |

They're just for fun, but if you manage to mine some satoshi's, and the price does another big pump, you might just get your ROI faster. Actually, SHA256 mining is a new kind of risky speculating  But overall, I'd love to have them for plain fun. Do some tweaks here, change the resistors there, ... and look at the results of your overclock. The software supports up to 4GH/s, I would like to get to that impossible number  Just preordered 10, can't wait for them to arrive. |

One can probably sell 480 of them on Ebay for 40 a piece too :p and play with the rest |

Bought them with this groupbuy. So at 0.415 BTC for 10 antminers + shipping. |
