its for a great cause!

I won't sell it just run it.

Okay but you're not allowed to turn around and sell it on eBay for an extreme markup and then not support it when the buyer has issues.

since it is for a good cause I bid .1 BTC

I'll probably put up some discounted 2Pacs too. Fully functional but either not stable, or too many HW errors, at stock voltage for me to be comfortable sending them out proper.

For a curmudgeonly hardware guy^tm, you're pretty decent.

The question is irrelevant. Read the rules.

Is that "each" or for all 4?

I'll bid BTC0.04

Great idea Sidehack!

i bid BTC0.03

A bit low but I may need some of my Bitcoin to help out family so I can't bid as much as I'd like- but still, BTC0.03.

Oh, hey guys. So a couple of things going on here.

One, I've been working on a pod miner for a while. Final-version prototype PCBs are on order, but I've got some of a previous version functional. Four, to be specific. These guys are packing eight BM1384 miners and operate off the same driver as the 2Pac 2-chip stickminer. The voltage is fixed but they're tested to 250MHz (110GH) and should be able to do that handily off a 12V 5A brick (not included, I don't really have any extras).

Aside from a very few mediocre models sent out to resellers and VH who wrote the driver, these would be the first fully functional GekkoScience Terminus pod miners in the wild.

So, here's the scoop. I've got a friend, a girl I've known and respected for eleven years and a piece, currently in treatment for an eating disorder. Her dad set up a GoFundMe page at https://www.gofundme.com/lauras-eating-disorder-recovery and all the proceeds from the auction of these miners will go to that end. Anyone just feeling altruistic can donate directly, I guess.

I will cover shipping for any winning bidders within the US. Outside the US, we'll work something out.

Here's how this will work - there are four miners, so the top four bids will get one miner each. I'll let it run a full seven days, so bidding ends 7PM US Central time on Monday, July 3rd.
