This is really interesting, I want to try it out. I wanted to ask, what is the benefit over buying something like  a S9.. current prices are like 250-300.  Comparing similar ASIC chip coUnts will this setup burn less energy compared to an Bitmain machine ?  Non the less, Amazing work for the community!

you can buy a refurbish s9 for that price, plus a power supply (around $150), but remember these require 1600W of power. the GekkoScience USB units are a great alternative for low power mining. I know a lot of my international customers don't even have the option of running that kind of power.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

They are quiet and many of us may have a place for 1 or 2 that  costs zero for the extra power.

I use a fan with mine  but I clock them higher then 100

If you clock at 75  they will run silently.

Point them at a pool that offers a bonus for hitting the block.

You get a free chance  at a block bonus  or a very low cost power wise chance at the block bonus..

Here are pools with block bonus

http://mmpool.org/

http://www.bravo-mining.com/

I have my 2 sticks pointed to bravo

the bonus is 1 btc if I hit the block
and if someone else hits the block I can still get some coin

I have this one one the way

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sipolar-10-Port-USB-2-0-Powered-Hub-with-power-supply-5V-20-Amp-2A-per-port/352409900554?

will post how the units work with this one as this one is not stupid expensive.

I have two orders in with CrazyGuy. One for over a month, one for a week. Both are still showing as processing. I have left a message on his board and replied to his shipment e mail, and I have heard nothing in return. Starting to get a little concerned.

I feel like a golden opportunity was missed to name the successor of 2Pac as Makaveli.  Cheesy

Looks like AsicBoost will be coming soon to these NewPacs.    
Check for it in an upcoming build or two.   Cool

Hey guys, I've resolved the shopping cart issues a couple of you were having. Please contact me directly if you are still having issues. Newpacs still in stock

ASICPUPPY.COM

i ordered 1 stick via btc since 27/10/20818 and it still in Processing right now.

Hi Samnangsek, please check your PM/email. I'm having to manually update all pending/processing orders and have been sending tracking notices via email.(magento devs broke something in a 1.9 update) If you do not provide an email address at the time of your order, please contact me via PM. I respond to all messages within 24hrs. Please be patient and contact me directly instead of bothering sidehack.(He's busy building Newpacs!)
 
All new orders ship within 48 hrs.

I should have some time this weekend to update to Magento 2.0 so shipped orders won't show as processing...

ASICPuppy.net ASIC Mining Hardware and Accessories - Compac F in stock!

I ordered 2 of them.  Should arrive soon.

I will post a review when i get them.

Hey Phil! Was wondering if you ever got around to writing a review up for these NewPac sticks yet? I searched throughout this thread and couldn't find any posts with a link to your review. Anyway, hope all is well with you!

I decided not to purchase any more mining equipment for a bit. Then, sidehack starts making these bad boys. How can I say no to something like this stick? Looks like my decision to hold off on purchasing new mining equipment did not last long..

How does this compare to one of the old 21 bitcoin miners?  Seen them for about the same price.  My goal is to do some small time mining with as little heat as possible.

21 bitcoin computer is also a full node

let us know improvement  in hash or power or both.

Hash rate stays as expected for the frequency provided.    Power draw drops a bit.  

@200MHz was 4.66W, with AsicBoost measures 4.20W.

That is GREAT news vh! Adding ~20% for AsicBoost to a stick doing 140Gh/s and you've now got a USB stick miner that could potentially mine at ~168Gh/s. Just when you thought it couldn't get any better. Please keep us updated on this vh. Thank you!  =)

No problem Phil, please take your time! I am ordering some of these NewPac sticks regardless. I was just curious about your review because yours are always good! Anyway, let me know when you get a chance to post it (again, no hurry).
