Would love to hear from Sidehack about future product dreams. Also curious about the decision to discontinue the R606 - they just seemed to be hitting their stride. Perhaps supply issues is to blame.

Anyone else have any insight???

Yeah too bad they stopped making them. I wish they would release more of the R606s . I want one and they are hard to find.

Does anyone know how to turn off the blinking led?

A dab of dark nail polish or whiteout on it...

I was just thinking the same thing. I thought I saw in the Apollo BTC thread that sidehack mentioned a new project is in the works. If so, put me on the pre-order list.

I agree. While I'm all for US made stuff, I have a hard time doing pre-orders for anything. My newpacs are running amazingly, so I trust what sidehack makes.

I will have to wait to see what the reviews are on the Apollo and see if I can pick one up from eBay or another website before I'm willing to pre-order.

My understanding about the R606 supply is that there were only a few left that were purchased over the last number of weeks. They have officially been discontinued but the orders have still not shipped. I have one on order through bitcoinmerch and one coming from 419mining as a replacement. At the time of purchase there was a 4-6 week wait period which has now come and gone. Still waiting.

If you're extremely lucky you might be able to find one in the wild that someone is wanting to sell on e-bay or amazon but chances are pretty slim one will pop up.

Send a PM to sidehack and see if they still have one in the shop. Ya never know.

Ya might be better served to pre-buy the next batch of the new Apollo BTC miner instead. Have a look at it. About the same cost but twice the mining power for a few more watts of juice.

except that's a preorder so pay now and wait a few months to get it. Hoping sidehack puts out a new btc one without a preorder and wait. I have 4 r606's running now and love em.

First off, I now have 6x Newpac's and I love them. Thanks sidehack and gekkoscience for the amazing product. Next, I'm now sold on your products and am trying to find an r606 for purchase. Anyone know where I can get one, or when a new batch is going to be released?

Thanks,

Thinking of replacing the fan before trying to overclock higher, what RPM you think the fan should have to be able to cool down the unit efficiently?

In my experience going over 750Mhz just consumes more power with minimal increases in hash rate. Use a power meter and plot your curve on power consumption and hash rate for your device.

I'd already replaced the fan in the unit I sold you mate. Trust me, cooling is well and truly adequate

If youre getting 1th then you must have overclocked it already.

Running on 775Mhz at the moment. Only very small overclock. But was wondering what would be the maximum people can get from those.

i feel not many people would appreciate the "flipping" i did to get my hands on this + 3 newpacs & a gekkoscience USB hub so i'm posting about it in this thread because I am pretty stoked.

back in January, i wanted to get into mining at home w/ quiet hardware. I have absolutely no interest in mining with extremely loud, power hungry mining units, so I looked into the goldshell HNS1+. I picked one up for $300 which was paid for using .2 ETH that i got for like $20-$40. it was the first time i ever "took profits" and did something with my gains other than HODL em.

I looked on ebay and realized these were going for ridiculous amounts, so I sold mine for $900. Used the funds from that sale to fund this R606/Gekkoscience build. pretty much just traded ~110GH of hash power for 1.3TH and got this entire set up for less than $50 initial investment Grin

Major thanks to sidehack for making these. not enough quiet miners out there. definitely down to support any projects making smaller residential miners like this.

these little guys are workhorses - these 2 have been running since 4/17 and are averaging 2.05 TH/s (together) they havent tapered off at all - in about 4 days though, I will shut them off and clean them out before firing them back up again.

Hey guys.
Just received my miner today and got it up and running hashing sweet 1.05Th/s so I though I say hi to you here!
Do you try to overclock the miner at all or is it not worth it?

Are there any more of these in stock anywhere through an authorized vendor?

I have a new one unopened on eBay......1 day left...as an aside...check my feedback on here

I saw that and congrats to you for getting that price! I cannot believe people are willing to pay what it is going for. mines only making about 38 cents a day, they are talking about 2 year to roi at the price.

or maybe they will use it as a lottery machine, the power consumption is sweet for doing that.
