Yeah if you want to run of a raspi stick with a USB 2 hub if not it is best to use a USB 3 hub. Also USB 3 hubs will provide more power so you can overclock higher.
Bicknellski, I saw your note on the hub thread. Are these K1's going to require USB 3.0 hubs? I already ordered 3 D-Link USB 2.0 hubs, but I can still cancel my order and buy something else, so a prompt reply would be appreciated.
No the k1 was built to run off of a USB 2 hub. The dlink hub will be sufficient in powering the k1. I have ordered the same hub for use with my raspi and the k1's.Need to check your HUBs carefully to power any of these USB miners.
From what I gather the hubs can be either 2.0 or 3.0 it is just that 3.0 hubs are designed for more power and that is why BKKCoins mentioned it in the brackets. Someone can ask BKKCoins directly in his thread to make sure. We will be doing independent testing of hubs as we burn in all our K1s to check they are working. So we will provide clear guidance on which hubs we are using. For now we are going off of what Block Erupter users are doing with hubs as our starting point.
We are looking into larger hubs as well that could be bundled later with our K1s but we are not ready to release details on that yet but we are hoping to produce something that could be used specifically for our K1s.

How are they going to be cooled? Will you have a small VGA memory-style heatsink attached?
We will be using custom heatsinks that fit the the k1 perfectly and provide the best possible cooling.

Would there be any way to cut down box size as well?
If you can fit 20 units in a box and I only want 1 its a waste of shipping space. :/

I think you misunderstand mate,
what he means is package, not box.
20 units in a package will be bigger than 1 unit in a package, but both will still be 1 package.
It would be daft to put 1 unit in a box made for 20
cheers,

Will these devices be compatible with all mining apps?
Especially Cgminer, Bfgminer and Bitminter?
Phil.
These will work fine with Cgminer and Bgminer will probably update as well. Especially Cgminer, Bfgminer and Bitminter?

hello sir i am from Egypt but alive in Indonesia (Jakarta) how much 10 k1 will cost and any lock pickup ?
The cost for 10 k1's would be 8.374BTC and postage will be about 0.15 BTC to ship all 10

Halfway there only need to get 25 more pledged and we can start to organise payment and order the k1's!
Feel free to pm me or post here with questions.

Cgminer driver is being worked on by bkkcoins.
Bfgminer and Bitminter - AFAIK nobody is working on it. Im sure once the devices are out in the wild, people would adapt the driver for other mining apps.

We will be doing a 24 hour burn on each K1 before it is shipped. Given the work BKKCoins is doing I suspect that his design will provide a superior product. The real measure I think is time. How fast will you get those KnCs versus Block Erupters and our K1s. ROI is certainly going to be tight any miner you buy and we are trying to price competitively especially for group buys. Hope whichever you chose it works out for you!
Watching.
I am now undecided if I should go with K1 or Block Erupter.
Given that K1 can be clocked higher and costs less, I am leaning towards it. On the other hand, it's not as tested as Eruprers...
Maybe I should forgo both and settle for KnC (once they actually start shipping)
In any case, could I tentatively reserve 20 units? I'll make the final decision in a couple of weeks.
That is ok. Just make sure that you get funds in before the timer ends. Also we can ship all 20 k1's for you in one package to minimise postage costs. I am now undecided if I should go with K1 or Block Erupter.

Thank you sir!
I just don't want to end up paying for cargo space I will not be using.. You know?
yes i understand. it is also a waste of resources. I just don't want to end up paying for cargo space I will not be using.. You know?

I will have to talk to the manufacturer about that because they are shipping them. Also yes I can put one aside for you. If you can fit 20 units in a box and I only want 1 its a waste of shipping space. :/
