The limited edition of which only 21 were made is almost sold out… it’s low time preference and we’ll get there. @Sjors Provoost image

Pleb sale is finalized. Proof of discount👇 Someone snapped an order at 21.59. 1 minute before the deadline. For the Nostr folks, checkout the Supra, we’ve put them on prolonged sale, so they’re still available for €105,-. For the people that missed the sale. Didnt put this in the x post 😉 image

When the GFY discount started of its the first time noticing that orders from Dutch clients are in Dutch and outside of Netherlands orders are in English 😂 image

So it’s plebday today and we decided to agree with 3 vendors to give an insane discount to make Bitaxes available for the plebs below cost price. The current discount means that you can get a bitaxe below €100,- between 18.00 and 22.00. The discount code was created by the famous pleb 100AcresRanch. Enjoy!

Past months we worked on this partnership. 25% of our service fees go directly to the further development of the open source project. We are particularly excited about taproot miniscript expanding multisig. Looking forward to help people with inheritance and corporate setups. View quoted note →

The Noderunners were so nice to directly analyze the problem with this type of Leicke adapter. This is the first test run, we will do more to verify. Thanks for the direct proof of work! Here’s the English translation: --- sawed open his power supply and performed some measurements. First of all, it is a flyback switching power supply. 1. The output capacitors are blown (C8 / C9 3300uF 16V, 1500uF 16V) - NOT OK 2. The output diode MBR4045CT (dual diode) - OK 3. The primary MOSFET (7N60) is shorted between Drain and Source - NOT OK 4. The snubber circuit, which is supposed to protect the MOSFET, consists of various resistors, D3, and C3. D3 is an IF107 fast recovery diode, which is OK. C3 2J222J (2.2nF) measures 2319pF - OK 5. The resistors mentioned above are fried (open circuit, OL) - NOT OK Conclusion: The snubber that is supposed to protect the MOSFET is poorly designed, likely due to low-quality resistors or similar issues. As a result, the MOSFET is not protected, leading to large voltage spikes in/to the flyback transformer. This causes a higher output voltage that the capacitors and the Bitaxe cannot withstand, resulting in blown capacitors at the output and a blown Bitaxe. To add some strength and certainty to this, I would need more defective power supplies to check if they all indeed have the same problem, confirming that this is actually the issue causing all the Bitaxes to fail.

RECALL 🚨 ‼️ LEICKE ADAPTERS for bitaxe gamma. Over the past 1+ year we have sold and used Leicke adapters without an issue and they have proven to be great with the Supra, having an amazing track record. In the past weeks we’ve seen more and more burned U3 chips on the gammas. Always with the 6A 30W 5V adapters by Leicke. Never with our own manufactured bitaxe branded ones. In general after months of proper operation the client updates the firmware or repowers the bitaxe. Or sees that the bitaxe has stopped hashing. After plugging the adapter back in the U3 chips burns. This in general happens after many weeks/months of operation. Since we’ve seen more and more of these issues we’re recalling all of our hundreds of adapters to replace it with our own production ones, that have not seen any problems. Now the difficulty adjustment is here for us, we delete all client data after shipment. So please spread this message if you know people who ordered a gamma with us and have them do the following. Check if you have a Leicke 30W 6A 5V adapter (other Leicke adapters are perfectly fine for more than a year, so don’t worry about them). If so go to our website and use the contact form. Send us your order number, e-mailadres you want us to use for your shipment and the shipping address. We will delete the email coming through the contact form directly after shipment. We hope to be able to keep as much hash as possible online through this recall. Very sorry but after many discussions we were always sure the Leicke was the best product before we produced our owns. Now it became clear after long term running its not the best for the job. We’re sorry we failed there and will keep improving. This will cost us a lot, as we’ve shipped hundreds of these adapters… hope we are here to see a long lasting relationship with our clients.

Last year we developed special packaging for the @SeedSigner Now we are releasing a special @BitcoinBrabant edition of the seedsigner. You can buy the DIY kit or have us assemble it for you. We always make sure you receive an amazing sticker with it by @Street Cyber If you have any special requests, please let us know. We just assembled a batch for a workshop.

We import a lot of bitcoin stuff. So we receive a lot of customs and shipping related bills. The amount of bureaucracy and difficulty we encounter is getting crazier by the day. So just to summarize some things of today: Coldcard send us a shipment that was not filled in correctly, wrong zip code and wrong company name. Customs is holding the shipment and don’t reach out to us as there is no contact details inputted with this shipment. We found out by actively checking as most shipments coming from @COLDCARD go wrong. It’s impossible to get through the web of the phone calls but after almost an hour of trying we receive an email of a customs back office that should be able to input and update the shipment with the correct info… We received a customs bill by dhl that has a wrong company name and it’s a shipment coming from a US army base, for sure not for us, spend a long time on the phone getting that corrected… We received a customs bill for a shipment we shouldn’t get a customs bill for as we have all the customs permits, luckily the office closes at 16.00 so they just don’t pick up the phone from half an hour before that time…

Multiple people have been asking to accompany their @COLDCARD with high quality industrial SD cards. Also many bitcoiners are using SD cards to store descriptors and encrypted backups. The @SeedSigner also runs from an SD. You can find the SanDisk 8GB industrial SD card in our webshop. We pack them individually in a plastic tray. Hit us up if you need many. When you use Liana for long term storage and inheritance setups you should make sure you save the descriptor with every backup. We advise to use an industrial SD card for this. If you are using Liana wallet connect you can also save the e-mailadres and password you used for the setup next to the descriptor. Also SD cards tend to break over time, so make sure to check your encrypted backups of the @Foundation and the unencrypted backup of @BitBox regularly and hit us up if you need a new one. We can send these in an envelope ✉️
