Arklan:

I'm in Europe, you should be shipping me earlier rather than later. I also paid early, and extra (which you decided post-fact and I agreed to).

Are you shipping them in some particular order? I've tried to find this info but this thread has been spammed a lot and I might have missed it.

Cheerio.

The bulk orders of 10 or more were given overnight shipping AND priority order. I assume when the next box of blocks arrive on Tuesday the rest of us will be sent tracking info shipped Wednesday? If arklan is prepared this time with labels and boxes and a car, perhaps they ship out Tuesday, either way the ETA is looking like Friday through next week.

spot on. boxes are ready this time, labels depend on the weight of each package and can only be ordered day of though. though with 70+ to pack, i don't know that i'll be able to get them shipped tuesday unless i can pick the box up in the morning, which i'll try to do.

On a related note, I looked back on the thread but wasn't able to see that anyone was able to find a hub that was able to power more than 5 of these things.

Did I miss something ? Does such a beast exist ? I'm starting to search on Amazon.com for something to manage all these guys, and not coming up with anything other than the 12 port hub (http://www.amazon.com/Satechi-Power-Adapter-Control-Switches/dp/B0051PGX2I/ref=pd_bxgy_pc_img_y) that can power 5 of these things Sad

Would something like this work ?

http://www.mondohub.com/hub_overview.php

-(1) 5 V DC port - Power Adapter: Output: 5 V / 4 A
-Up to 500 mA power, all ports

i ordered and received that hub from amazon.  it was delivered without the external power supply. amazon refunded my order.
i also picked up this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NGQWL2 if it does supply 4A, it should handle 7 sticks just fine: 4 Amps /500mAmps= 8, -1 for variances...

i've got one of those too - however i only have 5 miners to test it on... handles them fine though.
