Check out the latest silent consumer miner from GekkoScience, the R606, which is part of the Terminus pod-miner series.
At last, we have that quiet, efficient and stackable miner that can be adjusted between 60-120W, something we've been wanting since 2014! This new miner expands on NewPac technology and is a big step up from the old Terminus R808 with BM1384 ASICs. It comes in a fully-enclosed aluminum shell that improves air flow and keeps the main regulator cool for better stability. They've also upgraded the heatsink for better ASIC cooling, and it has an 80mm quiet fan that’s a standard size, making it easy to swap out or upgrade.
This bad boy packs 12 of Bitmain's BM1387 ASICs (the same ones in the S9) and lets you adjust the core voltage from 390mV to 460mV with a simple push-button interface that increases or decreases in 10mV steps, along with an easy-to-read LED display. No need for screwdrivers or meters!
The Terminus requires an external controller running cgminer and connects via USB. Each Terminus miner also has a built-in 5V USB power output (with a 2.5A limit) that can power small controllers like a Raspberry Pi. It operates on 12V power, which can come from a standard 2.1/5.5mm barrel jack (rated for 8A) or a PCIe 6-pin jack (which has more than enough power).
CGMiner driver support is still being worked on, but VH has made some impressive progress. They’ve got automatic detection for unresponsive ASICs that triggers a reset, which helps avoid damage to underperforming chips and brings them back from "zombie" states. ASICBoost is also included.
Great to see the "For Sale" thread starting up and obviously the official announcement. Can't wait to get my hands on one, although I will have to wait until the global release
Great work from you, VH and the team and for keeping the home mining dream alive for us all
Power draw is whatever you want it to be (since voltage and frequency are both adjustable) but due to limitations of the internal main regulator it shouldn't go over about 120W. But it can also go under 20W with the right settings.
Edited my post as I totally missed the power figure under the picture
Really is great to have something like this available. Can't wait until the second batch.
MinersSupply is currently accepting pre-orders for the GekkoScience R606 Pod Miners!
For the first batch, sales will only be accepted via our sales thread here on the forum. Please visit the following link for details!
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5071416.0
We will also be offering the R606 with or without a variety of power supply options if needed.
Following the shipment of first batch orders, we will eventually offer the R606 via Amazon Prime Storefront
419Mining orders are live.

In honor of sidehack and his amazing work, we running a special on our site. Our power pack, normally on sale for $106.17, when you buy a R606, we are going to give $32 off. That brings the price down to $74.
This is going to be a bundle price, when both are in the cart, a discount will be auto applied. Check out the details here: https://www.419mining.com/shop/power-supply/complete-power-bundle/
when run from 120V, this will produce up to 900 watts of power and is compatible with both the GekkoScience Hubs, and the new R606.
Most re-sellers are still in pre-order at this time. As the units roll out, better screenshots, build out photos, updates to cgminer and step-by-step how-to's and support forums will all be coming. I know your excited, we all are. This is all new for us as well. I have a prototype demo unit but it doesn't function the same as a production unit, I can post a screenshot of that if it helps.
From 419mining
This seems like best way.
At the moment
I have 8 working compacs to give away
I have a quasi working 2 pac to give away this was a silver color heatsink protype model.
We will do a North America raffle with 6 sticks if you buy from a north american dealer
We will do a European-Worldwide Raffle with maybe 2-3 sticks if you buy from a non north american dealer
419mining had the idea of giving the ticket with each sale. Sale must be for a sidehack pod only 1 prize per customer
At North american dealers please pm me if onboard
rockmoney
minefarmbuy
note if I missed a dealer for North america please let me know
in theory
419mining say gives ticket numbers out from 1-999
rockminey gives ticket numbers out from 1000-1999
minefarmbuy gives ticket numbers out from 2000-2999
I do a random generator for each company and pick 2 from each.
I have promoted for sidehack gear.
I do various give aways for those that purchase his new gear.
Let us say you do 12 sales of sidehack gear for the first batch.
You would give each sale of a sidehack pod a number 2000 to 2999 in your case
2000
2001
2002
2003
2004
2005
up to 2012 since you did 12 sales
if you did 100 sales up to 2100
You would tell me how many numbers for pod sales you issued say you do 37 sales so 2000 to 2037.
It is a bit of labor for your company to make a list of pod buyers and the raffle number you give to them.
I would do a random number drawing for 2 prizes of compacs which I would mail to the winners.
I think there are three sellers.
minefarmbuy I would give away 2 sticks
419mining I would give away 2 sticks
rockmoney I would give away 2 sticks
I would mail the gear so not cost to the dealers or the winners. I only end up getting info on the winners to keep privacy issues as best as possible.
I would save two sticks for the Euro/worldwide buyers later on.
