If by "almost half" you mean "slightly less than a fourth" then you're correct, it's "almost half".

Because it's looking like nobody's gonna swoop in and buy everything ever, but I've had a few people asking about picking up more than ten, I'm relaxing the hard limit of ten per customer.
I also have updated the first post with a current count of sales. I have some outstanding invoices and bulk orders updating as sales keep going, but as of right now it's exactly what it says it is - the number of sticks which have been paid for so far.

Almost half sold and more to come, it's a great achievement !

mine was a 2nd day order and I was one of the 1st to get one so I only slighty got burned by BFL on that. but still got burned, remember that.
just saying there is NO comparison to sidehacks gear when you look at it vs a jalapeno. 40/60 watts vs 5 watts. way more more hashes per second. small, no external PSU vs stand alone. I can run it stand alone on my notebook. cgminer used by both.
my howto post about a jalapeno with pictures, screenshots , how to flash it with an AVR Dragon programmer, temps recorded with a IR temp gun, and how to properly cool and run it @ 8 GH/s is one of the 1st few here on the forum and still on the forum.
look for it I wont pollute this thread; its sidehacks thread. Im just talking hardware here and someone else brought up the jalapeno Im just posting the real deal on it vs what you might hear from other threads.
TLDR: sidehack is not BFL and his compac is not a jalapeno.

49,95 EUR, that's quite a hefty markup on it!
For less you get a BFL Jalapeno: https://products.butterflylabs.com/homepage-new-products/10-gh-s-bitcoin-miner.html
There is no hefty markup if you take everything into account. The main reason for the price difference is VAT and manufacturing cost. GekkoScience can manufacture themselves. Me not.
Here I gave some further details why the price is different: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12042208
If you still believe that one can get filthy rich selling 800 USB stick miner - believe it! Maybe it'll become true and I can retire.
P.S. Don't compare it with a Japapeno. This is an offensive insult!
The only part I was comparing with was the hashrate, don't think for a second there are other similarities besides the encryption algo
I'm not trying to keep you from having dinner on the table, just wondering where the difference is. I'll respond on the other thread to keep this one cleaner

I bought two.
one will go to cks pool at stock settings.
the 2nd I will winds the snots out of with a 80 mm fan im my basement workshop (I have delta 5000 RPM fans if needed - I suggest using them in your basement) on it with an IR thermal gun and a watt meter on it, I also have on oscilloscope
probably again at cks pool as its real good at mining reports etc

don't post links to bfl --------
but a 10gh piece of gear using 60 watts compared to a 13.5gh piece of gear using 6 watts is not a good comparison.
I have 2 sticks that use about 11 watts and give me 27.0 gh so these are 20x more power efficient then a Jalapeno

I just sent you an order for 10 Sticks, Thank you for all your hard work on this project!!!
August 01, 2015, 01:01:36 PM
I'll be in for 5 in a few days for sure. Maybe even 6 if there is enough coin left over.

He's dealt squarely with me so far, and paid down in timely manner for his share of the chips. VS3 vouched for him with his licensing of NanoFury designs. At present I have no reason to doubt him.

^^^^^^^^^
this is one of the main reasons I support sidehack.
if sidehack says talk to someone 1st, hes is pretty much OK as he has met sidehack standards and they are pretty high.

My official stance on selling in Europe is talk to MacEntyre first. If you still would rather buy my sticks, I'll sell them, but he's manufacturing and selling in Europe and I'd rather folks support local economy where possible. So talk to him first.
July 31, 2015, 06:45:48 PM
The reseller for Europe seems to be a newbie account with 2 posts and a webshop that doesn't show the stick. Is there another option to buy in europe?
Macentyre isn't really a newbie any more than some legendary members are anything more than people who post a lot. bitshopper.de's been around for quite a while and have done official builds of the NanoFury II and NanoFury 6. I have some of their gear. My only concern would be with regard to pricing. The reason there's nothing up on the site as of yet is probably because he doesn't have any to sell yet (needs to be manufactured first; same applies to the ones being sold through this thread), and doesn't do pre-orders.That said.. Could set up a group buy off of GekkoScience if there's enough people who want one from GekkoScience 'direct' (I pledged for two, but that's more for collection's sake). Not sure who'd be best to organize that (UK may shave the most cost off of shipping in the end - not entirely certain though).
I don't mind paying to a newbie account if sidehack says "no, that dude is good, safely pay him, I deliver to him", it's just that I haven't been buying hardware in a while and saw two possible red flags there. But I do want to buy a set of sticks, even if it's for fun only. Problem with getting them into the EU is the VAT and the relatively high shipping. That's why I hoped to order "locally"

Updated with current sales. PCBs and heatsinks are on order. No favorable word yet on our pick-and-place, which might cause delays in initial shipment since we'll be slowed down without it, but it'll get done.
Software dev is progressing. I've got a stick headed to Luke-Jr for BFG support and we're working on cgminer drivers.
