I updated the first post with new information about sales, including how to contact Laura about purchasing and interest.
We've also got some stock of regular 2Pacs (not seconds) available.

I think we're sold out right now. There's one left in the box but she might have an order pending for that.
I think she's making a list to let people know when we have some more, which likely won't be for at least another 3 weeks.

Received my order! Whoo Hoo!
Now I just have to wait for my blasted USB Hub to show up
I don't suppose anyone has any hub recommendations when I get above 10 sticks??

Hey Zillions. Check out www.theminingoutpost.com They have a couple high powered USB hubs. I have the 20 port one and it works great!

This is what I use for 10 2 pacs at 200mhz, its a bit pricey:

My little order of 2Pac seconds just arrived. 
One stick generates a lot of HW errors. I think this little guy is going to be the test mule on the USB project I'm starting next week (parts were shopped today). If this kludge works, I'll post some pictures. Otherwise, I'll wallow in my failure silently.
Thanks to @sidehack for the great service!

Thanks Sidehack & Laura! Just received my 2Pac in the mail today! Super quick shipping, packed well, and seems to work great!
Will look forward to working with you guys in the future as well!

awesome news! (though Laura told me that 2pac Seconds were sold out ATM this morning... )
I would love a nice USB hub that doesn't cost an arm and a leg!

Funny you should mention the hubs. I picked that one back up over the weekend with a bit of a concept change that should make everything better. I intend to start prototyping sub-circuits as soon as I get more time to run out a board layout.

sidehack, i've emailed Laura about purchasing some 2pac seconds (no reply yet), but what ever happened to the USB hubs you were thinking about making?
January 22, 2018, 10:45:21 AM
Email from laura@gekkoscience in my inbox this morning. Yuss!
Payment rendered, shipping info sent.
Good way to start the week.
Thanx to sidehack and Laura!

For sure interested in at least one. I emailed Laura, so I hope to hear back soon and help out her recovery!

Most likely. If the sticks pass my bench testing and move on to assembly and product testing, about the only way they fail later tests in ways unrelated to ASICs is if parts have been broken off the board. Getting to seconds testing is due to mediocre chips, failing seconds testing is due to very mediocre chips.

I've had this feeling that the pcb design is robust, so it is most likely the BM1384 failing if anything?
January 20, 2018, 09:39:49 AM
Not sure exactly what you mean by "fail the first test". Sticks that completely bomb out get tossed in a box to figure out later, sticks that don't run well enough to ship as stock get re-tested as seconds, and sticks that fail seconds testing get their chips stripped and replaced and run again.
