Naw, because then y'all will get excited and I'll never unload the last batch of 2Pacs because everyone will want to wait for the new stuff. But I really want to unload the last batch of 2Pacs.
I have 4 of these little guys running off of 2 PI's. I love them. One PI setup has been hashing since 10-Apr at 250MHz without a restart.
Sidehack are you going to give us a hint of what you're working on? I can't wait to see your new product and will def be getting it.

There is at least one running steady.
That's great you got 275Mhz. Mine is running 200Mhz reliably. The included fans keep the heatsink temps under 100 f. I also have a small external fan to keep them cool. Higher freq is nice, but 200 Mhz was what I was expecting to run them at as a minimum. I find the latest build of cgminer buggy and takes up a lot of CPU for some reason, so I've resorted to using last year's version.

The person handling sales is no longer handling sales, so I don't know details.
I do know that she sent out multiple "all call" emails over a couple months telling, as far as I know, everyone on the interest list that sales were open. So if you wanted to give us money you had about three months worth of opportunity to do so.
To be frank though, you might have dodged a bullet. I've gotten a lot of warranty requests for the pod miner so I've stopped selling them entirely until we can work out the common flaws that, somehow, absolutely didn't show up during the year or so I was working on the design but came up in roughly 20% of the mass-production boards but only after extensive testing and then shipment to who-knows-where.
So my best advice is, keep waiting just a bit. I'll have something better for you anyways.

so, months ago, I was on the pre order list to buy some pod miners, even was in contact with the person arraigning transactions. I went from being on the pre order list, to being on the waiting list, and then nothing. no emails. no info. what happened? was sales to Canada quietly closed or something. had an opportunity to buy multiple units. that time has passed. I know loosing an order is no big deal to ya, but feel pretty perturbed for being ghosted like that. just wanted to put my whateves in. anyway, not a big deal really just wanted to say sup? lol keep up the good work!
Problem is: Due to legal constraints a housing for the PCB is a must to fulfill WEEE and EU electronics requirements.
just wondering...
how come that you can buy hundreds of pcb types, arduino's, raspberry pi's etc in an electronics shop/webshop that doesn't have any housing?
that stuff was imported too without any problems.
Raspberry pi's are manufactured in the uk... not imported.
I'd love to get a pod or two, don't give a monkeys about EU requirements.
How effective is the cooling when you get above 200MHZ? Do you need external fan or at what point do you need extra cooling to be used?
I have two Terminus that have been running @ 250 MHz for over two months, non-stop, averaging 98.6 MH/s each. No additional cooling.
Mine on!!!
I have mine running at 275MHz. Without extra cooling it would regularly cycle back to 200 and work its way back up to 275, rinse and repeat. I tipped one of my gridseeds over to direct a little extra cooling through the terminus heatsink and raised the terminus up on a short stand to allow more air flow underneath. The terminus is running solid at 275 for about two weeks now. Getting about 119 Gh/s off slushpool.
Ambient temperature will also play a role. Mine is in the basement currently at ~68F.

Now with 10nm chips from Samsung being used on Halong Miners, I wonder if those chips will be available for use by @sidehack.
Cool! I'd love a 1 TH/s pod miner. I'm getting around 280 GH/s with my set up now.
Yes.

Can you explain Bitfury chip vs Bitmain BM1384 chip? Is Bitfury chips more energy efficient, so higher hashrates for less watts?
Yes.

Anyone in the EU ordered these yet? Got denied and asked to wait for Bitshopper..
Same, wanted to order one but was asked to wait for Bitshopper.

Hotmine has the Bitfury BF8162C16 chip listed for sale at $9USD per piece.

I received my two Terminus 808 miners yesterday. One is hooked to a computer PSU and the other connected to a 12v brick I had laying around.
They ran happily overnight with default settings. Yay! Today I'm experimenting with settings. I also expect to ditch the brick and run both off the PSU once I get another PCIe cable.
Thanks, sidehack, for your innovation and perseverance in getting these to market at a reasonable price. Your support is also appreciated and curmudgeonly responses are entertaining.

So, announcement.
Terminus pods are still available and in stock. 2Pacs and power supply boards (both DPS800/Common-Slot and Dell 750W) are also in stock.
However, starting here directly, Laura will no longer be acting as a sales rep.
That job, though mutually beneficial, was created for her in order to help meet her needs. She's recently found a great job doing what she loves so the necessity is no longer present, and that job is taking up a fair amount of time and energy so she's no longer able to keep up with the flood of emails.
If you started an order with Laura, she'll see it through to the end. But any new orders need to go through [email protected] instead.
Laura gladly took on and handled well what I consider to be the worst part of business, so if you get the chance to drop her a line, make sure you say thanks for all her work and wish her good luck in the future.

BM1384 is the chip Bitmain used in the S5 - 2 generations old now and VERY low efficiency compared to current chips/miners (though tuneable for better than the S5 itself managed).
Any news from Niko Punin from Bitfury if they are still able to sell some BF16BTC8162 chips for your project?
I've heard that their sales are pretty much full booked at the moment.

Can you explain Bitfury chip vs Bitmain BM1384 chip? I don't know about the chips... Is Bitfury chips more energy efficient, so higher hashrates for less watts? Does the thinner chips help with this?
@sidehack... I get the impression that your new boards are using a chip other than Bitfury. Can you share what chip you are using?
