Wow at 100 these run hot. I'll have to down clock for portability as I like to mine on my laptop or surface with the 2pac. Other than some sensitive finger tips though I'm camping happy.

You and me both, man. However, this time last fall my entire crew (including a fresh hire brought in specifically to meet demand) were up to our eyeballs getting 2pacs out the door. Seriously, we doubled manufacturing output between September and November; the three weeks following Thanksgiving, my people put together more sticks than we did in August and September combined and still had a one-month backlog. I had exactly zero time to start working on anything new until earlier this year.
Demand has slowed now, and my crew can pretty much do everything without me (unless something goes wrong), so I finally have that R&D time. Even so, these sticks were released several months later than desired.

They're here now and that's all that matters. Onto bigger and better things from here!

I noticed an eBay 10% coupon today.
I may grab a 4th one.
Would have been nice to get these sticks last fall.
Oh well.

Not sure if I should post this here but.....
419mining is an excellent company to do business with. Ordered 2x Newpacs and plugable hub shipped to the UK. Not only did they deal with me direct through DM’s but they went above and beyond to ship across the pond even though they didnt initially offer that particular postal service. The gear was well packed and also came with a cgminer printout of the two Newpacs which I thought was a very professional touch. Would highly recommend them to anyone considering buying any gear from them. Superb!! Thanks again.

ASICBoost only works on NewPacs, but for them it reduces power consumption by 10% and cuts down on USB traffic by roughly 70% and both of those are good things.

As promised I got the sipolar 10 port hub today.
I am running 9 sticks
2x Newpac
1x 2Pac
6x Compac
I am using VH's miner 4.11

Phil - it looks like you're missing the AsicBoost option in your command line. Don't forget to add the following flag to enable AsicBoost: --gekko-newpac-boost
Your code should look like this:
Code:
cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bravo-mining.com:3333 -u philipma1957.two --gekko-compac-freq 200 --gekko-2pac-freq 200 --gekko-newpac-freq 200 -p x --gekko-newpac-boost

love these little toys your making sidehack. you reckon the newer stick will use the same size and format as the last 2?

Yesterday I wrote up a roughly chronological 15-point master plan for the rest of the year. Work which will be used toward a pod miner were included in items 1-3, 6, 10, 12 and 14. There's development for some other fun stuff in there that I hope y'all also like.
I think my body is tingling.

Since I have a compac and 2 terminus pods, I ordered 2 Newpacs from Crazy Guy to support Sidehack's efforts. I hope to see a new pod miner come out too.

I've got a newer chip in hand already and a lead on at least one more. But these NewPacs are pretty decent (especially with AB enabled) so I'll be taking my time on the new thing and making it more featureful as well as more efficient. The focus initially will probably be on pods, also.
To answer the specific question though, no, I have no plans to work with Bitmain's 7nm chip.

Do you guys plan on making something when the new 7nm Bitmain chips come out? or maybe that's wishful thinking.
you are way ahead of the game.
these sticks are a big improvement of the compac or the 2pac and they just came out less then 60 days ago.
I would be stunned to see a new stick with a different chip from sidehack this year.
