Just a reminder to potential customers - the wallet and all documentation is at the office. Since I'm human, I don't work 24/7 and occasionally take time off to eat, sleep and visit other humans. Even when I'm at work, I'm not always in the office since I'm not a necktie-wearing managerial slave. The majority of my work is done out on the shop floor. This means I don't always confirm your orders immediately.
Please do not send me multiple emails reminding me about your order, and multiple PMs reminding me about your multiple emails, and multiple forum posts reminding me about your PMs about your emails. As stated in the instructions in the first post in this thread, I need one payment and one message. If for some reason I received only one or the other, I'll make it known that someone had a problem with the ordering process. If for some reason I received neither, further hounding will do no good. If I received both, further hounding will only annoy me - for the results of that, please refer to this post.
cavaliersrus - they'll be waiting for her.

Not sure how soon. Your sticks went out Friday and it'll probably take a week to get there. I have a few orders added to the small queue but I should still finish it up on Monday.
how can I order one or two to try? I am located in the US.

Not to brag too much, but we're seeing 110GH right now on Eligius. 22GH of that is a two-chip test board I've left running for a while. The other 88GH is four Compacs.
Oh yeah also we shipped about 72 sticks today. This includes both Canada and Venezuela groups, and a set to klintay for eval and possible resale. There are only 20 sticks left in the small queue, and if they keep coming off the machine like the last two panels did, I can put up 40 sticks in a day.

Thats super! Good job on getting all the orders out in a timely fashion. Will be posting some pics soon

I got mine today 
September 12, 2015, 07:27:57 PM
Looking forward to playing with these. I should probably start modifying my usb hubs.
September 12, 2015, 10:34:53 AM
I am hoping mine come today. I am going to check the mail in a bit.

pretty cool have you emailed shipping info out to buyers? I ordered 10 and was wondering if mine had shipped out yet? I got my eyeboot 49 port hub all ready to go just need my compacs

What's the BFGMiner code? I'm not able to get it to work on my Pi, when my Pi is already running a bunch of antminer U1's.

I'm assuming you mean hashrate of the sticks, not pace of manufacturing. Either way the speed's pretty good. Referring to the sticks, I'm pretty sure with the fairly mediocre fan we have on 'em (it's about a decade-old 120mm 12V 0.68A) you can tell the heatsink is warm but it's nowhere near hot enough you couldn't leave your finger on it indefinitely without discomfort.
At 400MHz you should see about 10W on the chip. The chips run that hot on an S5. The buck circuit is at about 3/4 max rated current.
I'm really glad we went with the buck circuit we ended up with instead of trying to make do with the original. Actually with the ramp-init code we have in BFG and cg-gekko the original buck would probably work because the current dump to light up the chips would be a lot less. However, that thing would cut out above 10A giving us a practical ceiling of about 350MHz and, being a small monolithic chip, would have been harder to keep cool than our great big FETs so top-end reliability would suffer. If we'd used a buck like you'd see on any other stickminer, with probably 5A peak current, you'd be looking at a practical peak around 200MHz. The power systems as designed will probably take you to 500MHz if the ASIC could handle it, which is what makes this stick so freakin' sexy. I mean anyone can make a stick miner out of a chip as good as the BM1384. The key to making it special is to give it some great big whopping testicles.

That really is truly impressive on speeds. Are you watching it closely or does it seem likely to run without damage?
Still great work and a great product.

hey sorry to plug another thread. but I have a beta solo club address set up. so if you have a sidehack stick please check it out.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sidehack-stick-solo-pool-club-1177508
my thanks to sidehack and novac for making the sticks
my thanks for TheRealSteve for a way to set the pool up
@ sidehack down the road I will need some input on the new thread.

Asked, and answered, all over the freakin' place for the last month - including about seven hours ago.
I might work up a conceptual BM1385 Compac if we can get any sample chips, but "quick to market" seems a bit unlikely. I couldn't afford to put one out until I've sold all the existing Compacs, and even then it'd take over a month to get made. But yeah it would be pretty sexy to have. I think I could put two BM1385 on it and draw about the same power at 60GH as the Compac does at TheRealSteve's blazing 23GH.
Right now there is no formal plan for a Compac II with BM1385 chips. The exitence of that stick would depend entirely upon Bitmain's willingness to get us chips, and enough market demand (and available resources on my end) to merit it. Could happen, we'll see, but it won't happen until after all original Compacs sold are delivered.
While it would probably be super easy to modify the Compac to BM1385 (probably just change footprints, possibly voltage range) I'd just as soon not mess with it unless there's a lot of demand. And, from a business standpoint, I'd rather not put that out until the existing Compacs are all sold or I'd have a couple grand in chips and PCBs with nowhere to go.
The first (and probably smallest) product I'd put out with new chips (if I had enough) would be the pod miner intended to use a CPU cooler.

Yeah, sorry, I thought it might have been.
Carry on......

I know this is kind of off topic (and it may have been asked before), but have you looked at updating to the new BM1385 on the next run (v2)?
I guess what I am asking is if the pin-out would be the same, could it be a "drop in" replacement?
That, of course, being if you could source them.

we are not there at the moment. and it has been asked a few times.
