Also, with the V0.5 there is no longer a "danger zone" on the pot. If you circle past the top-end voltage it automatically drops back down to 550mV. All 360° of rotation are within the safe operating voltage of the ASIC.

Yeah, it's no longer 'dangerous', but it'll at least provide too low a voltage for higher hash rates.. might as well designate a "just don't turn it here" area

Well done, that looks really good. Did you put it together for fun, or is it for resale? Seems like it would add a bit to shipping costs, especially on multiple stick orders.

Thanks! Bit of both, 4 were gifted away, 2 went to people who bought from me. Haven't got any others lined up and I've got a bunch of travels ahead of me or I'd see about making more to have some in stock 'just in case' I'd order some more out of USA direct. Most of the cost is probably in 'labor', but FUN > ROI and all that.

Does the case provide static discharge protection? I guess that it would since plastic doesn't conduct, but I'm no EE.

Technically not - it's PP, but I'm reasonable certain it doesn't have any of the dissipative agents mixed in, so if you're very unlucky you might be able to build up a charge on it or yourself and poke at just the right place to fry something. Testing that requires equipment we certainly don't have laying around

You'd have to try pretty hard, though - the way it's in the box you're most likely to grab it either by the USB plug, heat sink or any of the sides, which is all ground plane connected to All The Things. It's also the same materials combination used in the packaging for the Block Erupter USB, the Antminer U1 and U2 and the iMiner (though that one doesn't count, being enclosed itself). I'm pretty confident none of those 6 are going to come back with tales of rubbing cats on their heads and zapping a something on there
