Title: Availibility of Gridseed miners?
Post by: Ritual on January 18, 2014, 09:49:24 PM
I'm certain that some watching this forum have managed to secure some, or know someone who has.

I am interested (provisionally) in a 10-pack - that is 3Mhash scrypt/80 Ghash SHA256.

I'd be paying in BTC.

PM me if you can sell and ship within a reasonable time frame (next 3-4 weeks).

Thanks,

Rit.

EDIT: Spelling.

More to the point has anyone got one working and can post a YouTube video?

Every Scrypt ASIC has been uneconomical/scam so far.

Scrypt was designed to make FPGA/ASICs nonviable.  ;)

The main Gridseed thread is here BTW: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=355268.0

Seem to be selling them on ebay. US $4,369.00 for 10x here.

If you get them let us know if they work.

Yep, that would definitely remove the "provisionally" bit :)

Contacts the forum member Seeds in a PM.  As I understand it, they may have access to the currently shipping beta units, which are only selling in 10-packs.

Doesn't look good when they are being offered exclusively on eBay ..... smells a bit fishy.
