Say. If somebody built another small miner...

Update?

But a preorder link would be way better

Sidehack does not do pre-orders. Personally, I have always felt that taking pre-orders without a proven product is a highly unethical practice.

The miner is a work in progress and until his products are built, tested, and parts sourced for production he does not offer them for sale.

A lot of us already own Sidehack’s hardware. I’m happy to support GREAT engineering.

Yes if its quiet like a Noctua fan and tiny. But that 200+GH USB stick is something i want!

I agree. sidehack's gear has been phenomenal so far, and I trust the product. Even though Apollo looks, and based on reviews on here, sounds like a good product, I truck the gekkoscience brand and would gladly pre-order if it would help get new gekkoscience gear to us home miners.

I don't have any solid news right now, but we're working on some stuff that should be pretty exciting here shortly. The rest of this year, if plans stay on track, is going to be a lot of fun.

VERY surprised at 2 things:
Sidehack has said nothing publicly about these.
It is a pre-sale which is something Sidehack has never approved of before.

From Discord chats in his pool's room we know that a certain developer (not VH or -ck) is working on the driver for it but seems very odd that Sidehack has allowed 419 to make this announcement.

The announcement email:

Ok, calming thoughts… So we just had a happy surprise, GekkoScience sent us a Newpac Shipment! We will be posting 50 units tomorrow (Wednesday 8/4) and an additional 50 on Friday 8/6. If you receive this email,  you will be notified when the units are posted.
 
Even More Amazing, The Ferrari is here! 🏎
What is the Ferrari? Imagine a newpac, capable of 200GH STOCK, estimated at around 350GH max.  This little guy likes high speeds, so we figure it is marketed specifically as an overclocker.
 
This is not intended to be a NewPac replacement, more of a short run special edition product and will be available via Pre-order only. We (419Mining) are limited to a max of 200 units.
 
We will be posting the unit tomorrow with a limited stock of 200 units and will be sold at $200 per unit. AGAIN, this is a preorder! The estimated deliverable date is late September.

... and a reminder for anyone who buys a Ferrari
You need a good high amp USB hub to power them if you don't already have one:

Nice looking. I Will need to get it.

[gt_addict]

So whats the specs for it? Obviously it will need the Gekko USB Hub. But whats the power draw like? Will there be an official announcement and EU distributors?

[MoparMiningLLC]

Hey, I told you guys we were working on exciting stuff.

yes you did, I guess that we didn't hear it from you and that it is a pre-order threw a lot of us off.

[philipma1957]

pre order is not an issue.
