This one's a bit more obvious. Roughly 0.7 inches long. I had to make a change to how zombie recovery was handled in hardware once I got the firmware written, which necessitated a change to the PCB. So I still have all the previous not-as-good PCBs, which can be exactly as functional with the aid of two trace cuts and a jumper wire. But if we can use those, it basically doubles how many I can sell before a restock of PCBs arrive.

I'm fairly sure I'm ok with the jumper version... Can someone explain what that actually means? Sounds like there is just a wire that isn't as pretty as the final version?

Judging by 2pacs seconds jumper situation (if applicable here), it might be a tiny thin wire connecting two spots on the mb.
On 2pacs it was maybe 3mm long and so thin that I had to use the mag glass lamp to pinpoint it.

Yep, no worries with a jumper to order some v1 boards here.

I have no issue with a jumper on my boards.

So what I'm going to do, and I assume most people will be okay with it, is make a bunch with a slightly reworked older version of the board which I have many on hand. The rework pretty much consists of about a half-inch wire jumper on top and that's it. If you're fine with this you can get your pod a lot faster, because I estimate the full restock of final version PCBs to be about 5 weeks out.

I'm okay with this also.

At some point it'll be handled on Laura's end. How we handle this change will be covered next time we talk.


Please let Laura know, I am on for one of the 16mm  pods,  as the compensation for the S5 boards I sent in.

The guy "organizing" that group buy vacated Canada middle of last year, and I believe it was for Bitfury stuff that doesn't yet exist. Far as I'm concerned, it's defunct and irrelevant.

oh.. crap.

Have you accounted for the group by people?  I did mention months ago I wanted 3 in the Canadian group by, still do want lol.
Aww yaa pod miners!!

Currently using an S3 to heat my room... man it is cold here.

Definitely fine with that. Is this the best way to inform you all about that?

Demand is currently far outstripping supply. Laura's low-volume interest list already exceeds the total first batch without withholding any for bulk sales.

So what I'm going to do, and I assume most people will be okay with it, is make a bunch with a slightly reworked older version of the board which I have many on hand. The rework pretty much consists of about a half-inch wire jumper on top and that's it.
