Re: radioactive@home new project
Just my luck. I was ready to order and went to put the money in the bank for Paypal and get back and orders are closed:( Hopefully it will open up again soon
Re: radioactive@home new project
So it is pointless for me to crunch for this project if I don't have the piece of equipment?

Yes unfortunately. Just like quakecatcher, no auxiliary hardware no credits. :(

Sorry about delay but during the tests in Prypiat our fellow found a bug in firmware which caused in freezing the value at the LCD or even show values under zero. Now when this bug is fixed and sensors passed all the tests I can send it to you.
Everybody who ordered the sensor should have the device before the end of October.

Re: radioactive@home new project
Does anyone know if kruncher Keith is still planning on getting a bulk order for the U.S. to help us save on shipping? I read that on the radioactive forum. I just sent him a pm, but wondering if anyone's heard about that.
Re: radioactive@home new project
I believe so, but with the first batch of detectors delayed somewhat it might not be for while yet (They've said end of October to ship out the first 50).
Re: radioactive@home new project
Got this from kruncher keith today. (he's the one doing the bulk order)
"No, the project has not accepted orders yet for the second batch which these will be from. They are only just sending out the first batch, I don't even have mine (single one) yet.
You are #14
If you have a team with a message board, post on there to try to attract some more USA residents.
See message board for estiamted cost. I will notify you again by PM when it is time to send money.
I can accept a check in the mail or payment by PayPal but it has to be with PayPal funds (no transfer from credit card) so if you need to, you might want to think about transfering the money to your paypal account ahead of time."
