Added one newcomer so far.

International shipping is open for r606.

Glad to hear all the "bugs" have been squashed and the overseas shipping is imminent. Can't wait to get my hands on one!!

Adapters are pretty cheap too if you unsure about a paper clip on your 24pin.

I just use a molex->usb cable to power the (many) RPi's I've had over the years.
i.e. use a molex connection on the psu direct to the RPi (it has 5v on it)

No trick doing anything to do it that way, you switch on the PSU = miner and RPi at the same time.
Of course I also have a simple paperclip attached to the PSUs motherboard connector since they're computer PSUs (OCZ 1250)

me three

heads up: got my r606 sent up to canada (thanks, 419 guys). really liking it so far - but was kind of surprised at how much they dinged me for the import fee. was $70, ouch.

love how quiet it is - can barely hear it at all, and if it's giving off heat i sure can't notice.

Me too.

I would be interested in it

Yeah now that I have the bigger setup in Clifton. It is a huge time suck.

My to-do list is so freaking long.

The problem with new chips is you then have to make 'em work. You know I had initial data on BM1387 in February of last year but the NewPac didn't roll out until what, August?

I mean if I had any sort of team, sure it'd be easier but I'm literally the only technical personnel at the shop. I spend most of my days doing testing that others can't, or fixing machines that others can't, or actually building the tools we need to get stuff done quickly and efficiently. Came in last weekend to cut, punch, braze and grind a sheet-metal template for use punching jack holes in hub lids. Next week I'll be setting up a better hydraulic press for it, and in the meantime I'll be building a new shear tool to make cuts on R606 housings and reworking the isopropyl filtering/distilling setup so we can keep reusing that stuff in wash cycles to save money (the good stuff is $16/gallon). The only reason the R606 project got off the ground as fast as it did is because I was laid up with a broken leg and couldn't do floorwork for over a month so design was all I had left. That, and one of the CNC machines was already set up for cutting aluminum sheet because of the hub project so all I had to do was draft the case design and program in all the toolpaths, no jig-building.

I've got newer chips. I just don't have the info to make them work yet. And I have three products to manufacture right now, which means seller communication, scheduling, testing, parts procurement etc so I don't have time to reverse-engineer existing hardware to get that info just yet.

But things are getting lined out at the shop, and my crew are already pretty hands-off with NewPacs and hubs, so once the rest of hub and pod tooling is in place that'll free me up again. Should have an improved stick and maybe a better pod later in the year.

yeah this is a really nice piece of gear with a lot of flexibility.

Shame that sidehack is not given the newest chips.
This could do 2th on 100 watts if given the newest chips.
For the life of me I never understood why at least one chip builder has not given sidehack really new chips to work with.
Getting more people involved in mining would have to be more helpful than harmful.
It would also help network security by having thousands of these scattered about the world.
