GekkoScience is finally building a 16nm Pod Miner

[minefarmbuy]

Hopefully our builds are decent.

I think base should include the micro usb at minimum, brick secondary, and maybe our kit will set up for more pending electrical lines. But maybe 6 off a 110v? Regardless I think the vendors you already procure from will take care of your needs.

Handful of mostly-complete production verson pods undergoing some comparison testing. I'm testing VH's build updates while also trying to get some statistics on peak frequencies attainable at different voltage settings.

Nothing too important, just thought it was fun.

Also I'm updating the first post a bit with photos and info.

Getting more and more excited, these are looking great!

LOVE the Serial #. Makes tagging SO MUCH EASIER!

[sidehack]

Yeah those are bench serials so I can tell them apart when multiple instances are running on cgminer. Probably not gonna have production serials hastily scrawled in Sharpie on the ones that get shipped out.

Oh my. They're naked.  

What is the fan spec?

[K21000]

I have a few questions.

1. Will power supply be included?

2. Are they stand alone or can they be connected into a usb port attached to a computer and run that way?

3. What is stock hash rate?

4. How much will it cost? (Including shipping)

5. Does gekkoscience have a official website?

1.  No they will not come with a power supply. Re-sellers will offer power supplies which you can purchase separately and have shipped with the pod.

2. They are not standalone, they will need to be connected to a USB port, whether that be direct to a PC or via a hub.

3. No final figures yet (as far as I've seen), but I seem to remember sidehack saying around 1Th

4. Don't think there are any final prices yet. Plus it would depend on resellers "mark up".

5. Yes (http://www.gekkoscience.com) but I think its fallen by the wayside as sidehack is a very busy man creating such goodies for us to tinker with

You select this because of the multi rail switch?

1:

I don't know what additional specifics resellers will offer for packages, but everyone should have at least the base option of a quality 8A power brick. That'd serve you pretty well unless you wanted either more efficiency for running a stack of units, or to max the overclock of a single unit.

2: In fact it must be connected to a USB port attached to a computer and run that way. I include a 5V USB power jack onboard so something lightweight like a Pi can run attached to it.


3:

This fellow is designed for cool, quiet and convenient. Worry not that it's a wimp, though, because the stock settings should get you upwards of 600GH (close to 700GH with ASICBoost enabled) from a 12V 5A power brick. My tester is pulling 820GH from 12V/6.1A right now with a heatsink temperature of 50C and I almost can't hear it running.

4: Nobody knows that yet, because it's not for sale yet.

5: Yes but it's painfully out of date and my good stuff isn't on there.

You should have someone do the site for you so we can buy direct and have someone there ship them out for you

The nice part of how its setup now is that resellers do the one on one sales and customer support, leaving sidehack to work on the cool new projects.

nope it is 69 usd after rebate  5 year warranty  very tough to beat that price.  doing 750 watts

it will also run a pc or you can run  both ltc and btc small size units.

sidekick for  BTC    the pod miner and a few newpacs
jstefanop for LTC   the apollo

nice quiet setup

Hey guys, so in honor of sidehack and his amazing work, we running a special on our site. Our power pack, normally on sale for $106.17, when you buy a R606, we are going to give $32 off. That brings the price down to $74.
This is going to be a bundle price, when both are in the cart, a discount will be auto applied. Check out the details here: https://www.419mining.com/shop/power-supply/complete-power-bundle/
when run from 120V, this will produce up to 900 watts of power and is compatible with both the GekkoScience Hubs, and the new R606.

I know they are not out yet, but when we can, we will post the pre-sale and let everyone know.

And if you're wondering, the break out board and the pcie power cables are both produced by GekkoScience.

That is a good choice for many.

[NotFuzzyWarm]

How many watts will it take to run this miner?

For a question like that, always read the 1st post. That is usually where specifications, settings, etc will be...

[419mining]

Remember guys, this is not the sales announcement thread, just a introduction to the next great thing. Though I would expect the sales announcement to be coming sooner than later. THAT post will include all the nitty gritty goodness.

[crypto_curious]

Amazing project. Fingers crossed for it Can't wait to see one.
