How am I buying these in Australia? And does any of the distributors take cryptocurrency?

Op, do you have an update on ETA of shipment? It's now early November! 
Thanks.

Production and shipping
John finalized the PCB/thermal design and ordered PCB production.
EU version will come as well with active heat sink with a small 25mm fan attached with will lead to a much better heat dissipation. As soon as EU batch is delivered, we will have to mount heat sinks and fans, do a final QC and ship it. PCB delivery is scheduled for end of next week (+shipping lead time + assembly & testing). I expect to be ready to ship it out to pre-sales customers from 24/11/2017 onwards.
Please note: I will ship according to the order number. You will waste your time asking me to prefer your order in shipping against all other pre-sales customers.

I just moved...do you know what shipping method will be used for the US orders?

Waiting for my devices just wanna tinker around with it

This miner seems like only for fun nor a serious mining rigs for profit， i guess.
which serious profit do you expect for 70$?
the miner is pretty cool for the price - compare it with a gridseed blade.
Same output 20x power consumption.
in my opinion this machine rocks heavily

If anybody is interested , they appear to be for sale on ebay in the UK at 89 quid

amazing efficiency...this is a top notch miner inside and out

My account was hacked frazier34567 I locked it when I noticed the email change. I created this to let people know. The only two things I can think they were looking to do is one get a hold of one of SP_'s private miners or trying to get people saying I am selling my FutureBit Moonlander2 and get them to send them coins for it.
The account was open for a few hours. Sorry about all of this.

Does this mine equihash / Lyra2rev2 / others as well, or is it strictly limited to Scrypt only?
Its an ASIC and not an FPGA. So no other stuff.

Hello guys,
is there any information when the second batch of this beatiful stuff could be available at shops?
Thanks and have a nice day

Here is a breakdown of hash rates/current draw for production units
500mA (standard USB 1/2 ports) ~ 2.5 MH/s
1A (standard USB 3 ports) ~ 4 MH/s
2A+ (powered hubs) ~5 MH/s +
Efficiency wise it does not make much sense to run these more than ~4.5 MH/s since after that current increase exponentially as you can see.
This is just crazy good!
about 5W for 4000kh/s
i use about 9W currently for 330kh/s on my gridseed miner
i hope to have my new toy soon
i'm so glad theres peoples like Jstefanop that work for the low budget miners as well.

sir jstefanop as i remember at your last post the stick "uses about 1.5w/mh for most of that range"
so to to attain 5mh you only need 1.5amp???
No, 5MH/s is at the extreme end of what the chip can do, and that will require 2+ Amps

Hello, is it still possible to pre-order? I'm interested to buy 3 pcs

@jstefanop Was 1.9 A enough when you tested it the last time ?
500ma is enough to run it from a standard USB 1 port ;P It all comes down to how high you want it to hash and how stable you want it to be. If your running near the max Amps the hub can output, the voltage will not be as clean etc and will cause stability issues (i.e. the sticks will drop out and you'll need to periodically restart them)....though I am working on a driver update to take care of dead sticks (not sure if I can fit it in for the initial release I am getting ready for in the next day or two).

can you put that update in the v1 drivers?? also have you made it so you can use v1 and v2 sticks on the same hub?

sir this is accurate for me.
---MATH---
12V x 10A = 120watts
so we have 10 ports @ 5V each
120watts/10 ports = 12watts each port
so 12watts/5V = 2.4amps per port
they put 2.1amp per port to be safe +/- 20%
from that calculation you are right, what i meant is that the psu itself draws some power.
It converts from 220 V or 110V to the 5V.
Usually the PSU will draw ~ 20% of the input power to generate the desired output.
Since the 120 is from the wall, i thought the power at the port cannot be 12 Watt.
With 80% eff we have 9,6 Watt per port. Maybe i am missing something.
