USA too?  Payment options?

Yes can do USA. But shipping and any import will be on buyer.
Payment is btc for now.

I'm in Toronto.  Considering getting some Gridseed stuff. 

I've been looking at the group buy's with the full kits.  ie: when you buy a 10-pack, you get the kits with controllers, power supplies, power cables, usb hubs, and of course the miners.

If you'e looking at that kind of setup, I'd be interested.

yes I am looking to get those.
And I have to re check the prices with the supplier cause other ppl are offering the miner for 199$.
Will get back with updated prices and full kit details.

I'm definitely interested.  Located in toronto as well, if you get the ball rolling please message me.

sure

curious to hear what prices you can get.

I have a LA3M on order from Australia ATM to arrive in about ten days.


also live in Toronto.

Happy to meet other Toronto miners and cryptos!  ;D

Will be getting the price by tonight. How many do you plan on getting if I match the prices of other GB's?
Im from Vancouver  ;)

How many u looking to get?

I'm in Vancouver, possibly interested in grabbing 10pcs.

What's the current offer on accessories? Honestly I only really need a power-connector tail so I can wire it up, everything else I intend to source on my own. USB cables and hubs would be nice to have though.

Not offering any accessories yet.
If its a must then il look into that.

PM me ur suggestions

Personally, I'm more interested in seeing harder-to-find items included:

Those barrel plugs/tails are probably a bit of a bitch to source.
Large USB hubs are not terribly commonplace.
The controllers are uncommon, though from all accounts they're also garbage. I'm intending to use a Raspberry Pi, which is readily sourced.
The power supplies are generic, and a mixed bag. I'm intending to just wire mine up to a good PC power supply.

This bloke over here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=496984.0) has some awesome looking screw-terminal barrel plugs. I've asked in his thread if he'd care to share his source.

Sure, thanks. If your able to find out the source then may be I could add it to the GB.
And Il ask my seller if he can get those..

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/10pcs-Female-Led-Connector-Plug-Jack-Adapter-for-5050-3528-Strip-Head-DC-Power/1295029829.html
Got those. Will add them for extra 5$ a piece. Cause to get them in 3-7 days have to pay 45$ to Fed-ex.
And check these out 2.
Curious if these suit better
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/12V-Yue-Ting-Branch-Universal-LCD-driver-board-DC-power-head-DC-input-line-LCD-cable/1001473907.html
let me know

The first ones are the right idea, but aren't the right connector for these units.

Looking around suggests the "correct" size is 2.5mm x 5.5mm, though many are reporting that 2.1mm x 5.5mm plugs do work. By that standard, these (http://www.amazon.com/2-1mm-5-5mm-Male-Power-Adapter/dp/B002QWNZHU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394014043&sr=8-1&keywords=barrel+plug+terminal) should work, though they are not ideal.

These (http://www.ebay.com/itm/100pcs-5-5-x-2-5mm-CCTV-DC-Power-Male-Jack-Plug-Connector-Tip-/161030625012) are the correct size, I think...

The second one honestly doesn't look useful at all. That would require your power supply to have that little 4-pin connector on it, which will never happen.

okay cheers...,
will keep looking for the best one out there...,

Guess wel have to go with the 2.1mm X 5.5 mm ones
Getting these

Guys so do you want to go for escrow or do want my info? if not satisfactory
wel go for escrow

where in USA do you want it?
Cause if the shipping cost is high. It would be cheap for you to get from a person whos doing a USA group buy.
Tell me which state and il tell you if I can.
How many miners are you looking at?

not sure if your checking ur PM.
would you like to do escrow or do you need to my info.
 :)

Hey there:

Willing to cancel my order of ten  (LA3M) with other GB and order from you, pending your confirmation of the following:

A) it's a full kit with controller, all cables, USB hub, etc. basically everything in the LA3M pkg.



B) 205 in CAD, or USD?  If so, is this a total of 2050 CAD or USD, etc. Is there any discount for orders of ten or more--even $50.00 or so?

C) who are you using as escrow?

I'm interested as well and would like to know if prices are in CAD or USD as well as if you are shipping it with power supplies and cables.

I'm interested in 10 but would like to know if you would entertain Paypal or Interac money transfer.

205 in CAD. It doesnt include the power supply or the hub. Will be getting these
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/10-pcs-Male-Led-Connector-Plug-Jack-Adapter-2-1x5-5mm-for-5050-Strip-Head-DC/1679645952.html
so that you can hook them up to a pc power supply

Will get a contoller for 10pc.
And I have no experience with escrow, so its who u decide.

Yes I can do paypal or interac this once. I dont hold any business accounts but.
Any fees would be on buyer.

Prices are CAD.
No power supplies. I am getting these incase you want to connect them to a traditional pc power supply.
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/10-pcs-Male-Led-Connector-Plug-Jack-Adapter-2-1x5-5mm-for-5050-Strip-Head-DC/1679645952.html
Will get back on other stuff like the usb cable.etc

A) Its not a full kit order- There is no power supply. Will get back on the cables. I am getting these so you can use a traditional PSU
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/10-pcs-Male-Led-Connector-Plug-Jack-Adapter-2-1x5-5mm-for-5050-Strip-Head-DC/1679645952.html

B) 205 CAD. Bitstamp for reference price.
C) I have no experience with escrow. I am ready to share info about me.
And do escrow. I was hoping that once we have enough orders. All the buyers could escrow from a single reputed person and you could also save on escrow fees.

I feel the need to quickly clarify - those plugs allow the device to be wired to any power supply - not specifically to PC power supplies. No matter what kind of power supply someone has, if they receive just the bare miner with no barrel connector they will need to source a barrel plug to be able to wire it up.

thanks..., :D

Hi Karanveer,

Sorry didn't get time to check PM's.  I can do paypal as another member said here.  I would pay the fees no problem and in CAD right?  Once you have enough people to make the quota please contact me and send an invoice through paypal and I will pay you at once,  thanks!

No worries mate.
So you need 10 or 20?

Hi, im interested in 10 GridSeeds

Im located in Toronto

What is your time-frame to order these and where are you located?

and is your supplier trusted?

Hi I am located in Vancouver BC.
With ur purchase we will reach order target.
Once everyone has paid and i pay the seller.
He will ship out in 2 business days.
And yes seller is trusted.
check your PM for further details

what exactly is included in the bundle?

and can i pay with interac?

Miner, all accessories i.e cables and stuff and controller if u buy 10.
Yes interac will do.
But do prefer btc to speed up process.

Anyone know if its possible to run these without a controller?

Yes it can.
Controller helps so that u dont have to have a system running and u can place them where u want.
Ppl also use raspberry pi for such things

Is there any way I can pass on the controller and save a few bucks?

What's the situation with Escrow?

No skyhawk. If I start splitting the price then its going to be an issue.
Escrow can be done. John K is reputed ,..he charges 2% of the transaction.
how r u planning to pay?

I'm taking it you wan to use this with the raspberry pi? ...had the same thought myself.

yes..the raspberry Pi should do the job

That said, don't get the controller from supplier and order raspberry pis instead. Is that possible? All sorts of reports of the instability of the supplied controller going around....

Im sorry dyland. If I had know of this before I surely would have tried.
As you know this GB started only for the miner, no accessories .
But since you and all buyers were ordering 10 pack and needed the entire kit.
I kept pestering the seller to do that, so I hope u understand that I cannot make changes now.
But I am sure we can work it out in some way.
Check ur PM

No worries at all.


the controllers aren't horrible, mind you, but they are not great either. They've been getting the job done for some people, but the general report on them is to ditch for something else.

Your price is still head and shoulders above what else is out there, and if you're in Canada, even better.

I would still like you to confirm and itemize what you provide in the kit on your opening page, though. That would be nice.

Yes Dyland I have that in mind, and remember that you have asked me to do so.
Will do that.

Yes, a clear itemization of what I am getting for my money would help with my confidence.  A nicely itemized page like atari02's would go a long way for this group buy .


The pictures you added are very helpful and were a great confidence builder.   

I want to buy from you, you seem really eager to start a reputation.  Just need that little reassurance that I'm doing the right thing.

Yes I am looking to get some reputation.
I am able to offer such prices as I am quoting you the same price as of the seller.
Thus GB is just work.
And yes the pictures show the miners with my name so that u know that the I have secured the seller. And as usually the pictures in gb describe these miners are not in my hand. They r with seller and we have reached to a confirmation that he's going to allot so many miners to me. The reason for this is to save on shipping. Like the seller ships to me and I ship back to u.
And I have added the accessories kit details below the payments table. If you need a picture I can get that too.
Any queries ,suggestions and doubts please feel free to ask.

Unfortunately this buy no longer makes sense for me, as most of the cost of the accessory kit is junk I'll have no use for (powersupplies, controller). I was initially interested due to the expected cost of $205CAD per miner.

I think I'm going to have to bow out. Best of luck!

Any reason why you can't have a Miner only offer on the table as well, Karan?

Payment sent  c'mon guys, this is a great price for Canadians...

Thanku MaxGen. Sent you PM on confirmation and updated in main page.
Payment was instant.

Pm'd. Very interested.

I will have to bow out as well,  was more interested in just the miners for 205 CAD.  Thanks and good luck!

Cheers!

Have replied..
Check your message.

I did start the GB for just the miner. But then there were requests for controller, accessories so I got the best price for that.Assuring the seller that most buyer want 10 packs and he needs to give us a better price. May be the next GB we can make it as an option. Cost of accessory kit is not junk. The power supplies you are getting are 35 dollars on newegg. Il PM skyhawk once i get a seller for individual miners.

You won't please everyone.

Here's the thing:

At $205CAD per miner people who have some technical acumen see the value because they will source the extra parts themselves-probably totaling about $225CAD per miner if they need all peripherals in the first place.

At $228USD per miner, this is about $250CAD per miner, with accessories that quite a few people find less effective than sourcing on their own.

Anyway, I don't want to go around collecting stuff and prefer a package, so I'm cool with it. But yeah, next one, we should have a strategy with peripherals.

Yes dyland I understand. And the thing is it was 205 cad + shipping. And the one we have now is with shipping. Thus the extra money.

Yeahright has paid.
On mobile so unable to upload in main page.

Sent u a pm about the transfer

as soon as you confirm the funds are in your account pm me

Yes have recieved the payment.
Sent u pm and updated in GB

do we have to clear 50 orders including you or 50 plus yours?

Ordered 2 this time but hopefully on the next GB you'll have an option to get only the units and none of the accessories.

na not including me.
Miners will ship once we get 30 orders. :)

Is there only 18 units left? I was hoping to buy 20. But maybe I can set it up for one to use 8 miners an the other to use 10. Some mentioned stability issues with the Wii controller am I better off with two raspberry pi devices then in this case? I'm from the UK I can pay today let me know the situation.

Hi the price is 2280 USD for 10 pack. Yes some say they get issues. The package is all inclusive shipping, accessories(i.e psu, cables) and controller.
can take ur order. 50 target is for first batch to ship.
If you pay today can ship by next week 19. Shipping used EMS from china.
And you can order 20 or even more.

Hi everyone in the group buy. I just bought 10 there as I don't get paid till next weekend. Sorry about that I thought I would be filling out the remainder of the 50pc order. I thought I had money than was in the bank lol. If I can put a hole in the remaining 8 units that's left next week then i will. Looking forward to mining alt coins

Hey, Toronto-based too, Whats new?

2280 USD
10 Miners, full accessories(cables,.etc), 2 PSU included,
1 Controller Included.
Shipping included to Canada.
Payment: Interac, Paypal, BTC preferred( dont want paypal to limit my account)

Thank you highjamuk. Appreciate your pruchase and look forward to get you more miners :)

so basically we are waiting for the payments to clear?

Yes play2own, i thank you for ur quick payment.
But I assure you I am trying to get the miners shipped as soon as possible. I have been paid for enough orders to start shipping.
Its just the conversion to BTC that is taking time.
And for sure next GB I will take BTC directly and everything will be much faster.

Would it be possible to order just the miners with no accessories?

Yes Can do that..., how many miners are you looking to buy?

 Hold on, we can't do that (those who have already ordered)?

Guys I am not going to be changing the deal between the GB. Have some trust :)

whats the status now?

Almost everyone has paid. I have transferred money to my bank account. Will take 3-5 days. Once I pay seller he will ship in one day.

Can we buy 1 or 2 unit with psu?

I'm in mtl.

 ;D

Any updates?

BTW avoid using ups to ship or stuff

Go screwed today by their brokerage fees

Yes shipping is by EMS.
Got funds from paypal to bank. Only one person has paid using some different e cheque and his payment is still pending. That doesn't matter.
Direct deposit from Bank to exchange is 2-3 days. So looking for 1 day deposit option, and talking to exchange ppl. Dont want to deposit cash at the Bitcoin ATM. So either way, maximum wait to pay seller is 3 days and will ship the 4th day. So we r ahead of expected shipping date.
Thanks all for being patient Will post in main page if any updates.
Feel free to PM me.

Good to know,

Looking forward to getting my miners up and running. I have a good understanding on how to set these up in no time thanks to the tutorial threads that i have been reading all weekend.

yes highjamuk. I am working on it. check ur PM

Hi Karanveer:

Understand about your spend discrepancies via PM.

Same here..   .1 BTC sent

ok just to clarify.. if i agree to purchase a 10x kit and send the BTC to you today.. when would I expect my order to arrive.  I am in BC Canada.

Also is this your first batch.. and do you have proof of other sales etc.. looking at some way to gauge trust.. a few thousand dollars is a bit much to send to a complete stranger etc.. ??

Thank you..

Please PM me if you wish to discuss this more.

I believe you are in the same area at least...maybe Karanveer can arrange a pickup/meet up with you, if possible.

:) thanks bud

No worries; I take it you pm'd dirtybird?

Ps you should be sending out soon right?

Everything still on track to be shipped out 17/18?

cant you just renegotiate the price with the supplier you should be able to get each miner at 180$us or at least 190$us

example check this out: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=508324.0

OPTION E.  PLUG & PLAY ~ PACK OF 10 - GRIDSEED - 5 CHIP DUALMINING USB UNITS + 10 USB MINI CORDS / (1) 13 SLOT USB HUB / POWER SUPPLY / (10) - 2.5mm DC POWER CABLES | EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO START MINING WITH (10) GRIDSEED UNITS = 3.33 BTC  - ($2075)

please ask him price for shipping. and hes got no controller.

yes,..

raspberry pi for +-40$ in stores anywhere as low as 25$ online and better then original controller,shipping +-55$

we are paying 2280$us (around 100 more)+0.10btc that's +-63$ more

that's about 2570$ cad

plus that guy is charging around 200$us for each

i saw lots of group buys for less

2075$ + 40 for ur raspberry = 2115
Hes giving you 1 psu, here u have got 2.
in short this is the accessory kit
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=489867.0
and from where is he shipping, our shipping is from china.
it costs a lot.

Hi Karanveer:

I want to be certain of something with respect to your email:

Is this getting a) received by your first or b) shipped direct to my address?

If it is going straight to my address, it really needs to be marked as $60.00 or less and marked as a gift, as we pay 13% of the cost in import duties in Canada over this amount.

With an import duty of ~$500.00 on this as it is not originating on a NAFTA country, you might have a bunch of unhappy people in this group buy if you don't address this as they are expecting this to be a all-in cost including shipping.

Did you guys received your orders? i want to join the next group buy, just looking for feedback.

All miners have been shipped. I guess the buyers response is what ur looking for.
FYI new GB at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=519671.0

Shipping by EMS reduces chance of tax.
And price quoted will be as less as possible.

Mine is on it's way, tracking shows it is in Canada now.  I'm expecting it this week, probably in a day or two.

Update to my order:

Received a tracking number today.

where's tracking info?

In two to three days.

Mine showed up today, no duty or tax, just a box at the door.

I wasn't expecting the relay kit, do I really need to use it?

Nope you don't have to use it.
Can you post pictures?

I haven't got them set up yet, I'm still compiling cgminer :)

I've got one hashing at 380 Kh/s at 900 MHz.  I'll get the rest running tonight.
 

Mine came in today as well.  No duty :)

Set it up in about 1 hour, however I trashed the controller and used my RPi with Scripta.  Works like a charm.

Currently running at 850, but I will try 900.  We don't need fans right?  I can remove them if I am only running Scrypt I think.  Cut down on noise and save energy.

http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm26/MaxGen/IMG_20191.jpg (http://s292.photobucket.com/user/MaxGen/media/IMG_20191.jpg.html)

Would you be willing to take me through the paces with a raspberry pi install?ps know where to get rasp Pi in toronto?

I have never worked with Pi or Linux that said--would be willing to tip...


Ps you know each miner has their own sweet spot for MHz? Worldlybedouin has written about it on the tech thread.

I just followed this guide: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=482352.msg5305449#msg5305449

step by step.  At step 6, I did the fix at the bottom of the same post.

At 900, I had 3 units that were throwing errors.  All miners are 0% errors at 850 though..

when you get your Pi, I'll walk you through it in PM. 

You can start by downloading the Scripta image in the post and W32DiskImager.
Use the diskimager program to write the scripta image to the SD card.

When I booted my Pi, I used an IP scanner to find what IP my DHCP server gave it and used my browser to connect.  http://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com

great :)
I guess u could remove the fans.
Never thought of it ever before but  ???
and the new GB has raspberry Pi controller not the gridseed one

Great :)
Happy mining times

I had to back mine off to 850 as well.  888 also had a lot of hw errors, so I'm going to try something like 865 and see how that goes.

If anyone removes the fans, please post if the hardware errors go up.  Right now each unit is drawing about 8 watts, hopefully the fan isn't really needed.

I removed the fans to reduce the noise and the amount of space required.   I'm also running everything off one power supply.

After running for several hours half have zero hardware errors, and the other half all have less than 10.  I'm running at 850 MHz and I just have the one case fan pointing at the two stacks.  Without the fan the heatsinks started to get pretty warm but with the single fan they are all cool now.

https://i.imgur.com/OsOzcDZ.jpg

Removed all but 2 of my fans.  Think I'll get rid of one of the Power Supplies next and follow melmo's lead and remove all fans and have a larger fan pointing at the stacks.

http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm26/MaxGen/IMG_20221.jpg (http://s292.photobucket.com/user/MaxGen/media/IMG_20221.jpg.html)

How well does that configuration work with the single fan on top of each stack?  If you lift up the top 4 units and touch the bottom one, is it cool to the touch?

Stacking like this really saves a lot of space... I think I have room for 10 more, but I'm not sure if I have the cash for them :)

The top units are cool, and the bottom units are slightly warm to the touch. 

is there any info on removing the fans?

Also, Karanveer, am i shipping yet?

You'll need to remove the fan screws on the top, remove the screws on the botton that hold the 2 heatsinks together, then use a soldering iron with a small tip to remove the + and - wires from the circuit board.  They are easy to remove, just touch the joint with the iron and the wires will pop off.

Temps are fine, I'm still getting 0% HW errors.  Note only do this if you plan to run the units in Scrypt mode only.  If you run in SHA256, you will need the fans!

Yes seems like a single fan would do based on what Maxgen and Melmo have done.
Have paid the seller and will be updating tracking info soon

A couple of tips:  I noticed that the power supply has a switch on the side to select voltage.  I had been running with it set to 220V, and was only pulling 58 watts from the wall.  It was pretty stable like this at 850 MHz so I measured the voltage on one of the plugs and the power supply was only providing 10.8 volts.  After switching to 110V, I was reading 11.9 volts and power usage went up about 10 watts.

After doing the voltage mod, I'm running stable at 401 Kh/s and pulling 82 watts at the wall for my 10 units.
 

Thanks melmo :)
check new prices..,
2070 shipped (no accessories)
2220 shipped (with accessories)

Melmo, you in Toronto?

I'd pay you to make the voltage mods to my units.

For the voltage mod, are you just bridging the pads with solder, or are you adding some resistance?

Also, from your last post, am I correct in assuming you are running the PS at 220 for the savings?  I don't think mine powered on at 220V

Thanks melmo

Sorry, I don't think I would trust myself to work on someone else's units because I'd be afraid of frying it.  Those solder pads are surprisingly small - I almost didn't do the mod because I was shocked at how tiny they were.

I tried bridging the pads with solder, but that wasn't happening so I used some very fine wire.  Tin the end of the wire with some solder, dip in some flux and solder to the pads, then trim.  I found some stranded wire and then used single strands - that's how tiny the pads are.

I'm running the PS at 110V now.  The 10 watt saving is nothing compared the other power-guzzlers I have :)

Thanks melmo,

I tried it on one unit prety much exactly how you said.  I have a lot of 30gauge wire lying around from wire wrapping projects.  My hands shake kinda bad, but was still able to do it without any damage.  The magnafier lamp was a huge asset.

I'll tackle the rest of them tonight.

Here's my single modified unit running.

Well, I did it on all 10 units.  took about an hour and a bit.  2 had cold solders but it was just a quick touchup to fix.

http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm26/MaxGen/scripta2.png (http://s292.photobucket.com/user/MaxGen/media/scripta2.png.html)

Looks good MaxGen!  What speed are you running at?  Does Scripta use cgminer or bfgminer? 

Maybe I should fire up my Raspberry Pi.

It uses a special version of cgminer.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=482352.msg5305449#msg5305449

I've set the frequency at 950 by editing the miner-start.sh file.

Hi,
Write your skype to discuss some issues.

Responded

where?

karanveer.dhiman.g
please message me

Ok,
Add it to the main post.

Miners for 203$ shipped.
Check new GB

Any update on tracking?

Would really like to hash soon.

Shipping on monday  :)

Received my 2 units.  No duties!! Thanks!

Your Welcome.
:)

Hey,

I heard scripta can be buggy.

I am wavering between wheezy and scripta.

any issues so far with scripta???

I've been running Scripta since I received my miners.  There was one incident when the devices were not showing and I had to reboot, but it has been solid for me the rest of the time.

Does the overvolting work with wheezy too?

Received my shipment today.. no taxes.. no fees.. so in total was shipped on a Monday and arrived at my door the following Monday.. so 1 week from time i got tracking number to my doorstep.  I will post some pictures once i get time to deal with this box.. hopefully soon.  :)  So I can definitely say that the seller is legit.. I payed and a week later I had my stuff.. all is well.. good honest Canadian Seller.  Very pleased with that aspect.. pictures and an update to follow once i have time.

Man....why is mine taking so long? ^

Sure, the overclocking/overvolting is a hardware mod, plus a frequency change in the cgminer startup line

sudo /usr/bin/screen -dmS cgminer /opt/minepeon/bin/cgminer --scrypt --no-submit-stale --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=950

Thank you for the support
48 hour shipping for the next GB with lower prices
And controller changed for raspberry pi

@ Dylan
Miners where dated to ship today. Sorry for the delay.
Will update tracking number tomorrow

All hashing away.. I am hoping someone comes out with a nice windows program to detect and possibly mine both scrypt/sha easily.. i had a little trouble with cgminer.. what i did was download the modified cgminer and have it running.. then one by one you have to plug in the grids to the usb and wait for the "hotplug" in it to detect them... small pain but works none the less..all hashing at 850mhz @ 361.7kh/s.. stable overnight so far.  Getting a few HW errors..but not many.

*Update..
I was able to navigate the wiibox website (chinese - its all in chinese!.. even wiibox local configuration) and get my wiibox controller updated (came as v1.7 and updated to v2.07 - couldn't do anything with it till i fully updated it).. I am now successfully dual mining.. seems ok .. just one incident in 24 hours of one of the grids seemed to lose its connection to controller overnight : Remedy - reseat its usb connection on the hub.. not sure if this is a usb hub problem or controller problem.. i did not have to restart the mining or anything.. it was just instantly detected and started mining.. i also blew a fuse (too many video cards in one room) and the wiibox and grids.. powered back up and started mining again all by themselves without me doing anything after I reset the breaker. (took about 2 minutes before I could tell they were mining again) Just wanted to say that with firmware update and a bit of patience and translation these work as stated with everything that came in the box.

One of the buyers is facing this problem. Can anybody help?


Everytime i try plugging in the USB i get the following bubble message,

"One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message"

I checked further into the unknown device on device manager properties and the following error shows below,

"Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"

I have tried this single miner on three different laptops and a desktop, using zadig and without using zadig. This is the only miner giving me problems. The green light flashes on it so i know its getting power but it is not working.

I'm sure this was probably already tried, but I hope he's trying a different USB cable...

okay MaxGen
I also advised the same,
try a different USB cable.
remove and re scan for hardware.

Yes, my order came with a 2 spare USB-grid cables .. i imagine its for that exact reason .. in case of a bad cable.. try a different cable..good advice.. all mine have worked accordingly but nice to know there were spares in my order!  Not sure what your setup is but that is one of the first steps in troubleshooting device failure.

Miners from last buy shipped.
One non functional miner reported to gridseed
In process of replacing

A new update came out today for the Wiibox Controller  v2.1.0.. adds some new feature of i believe failover pool settings..haven't fully explored or translated yet.. just passing on info to fellow grid seed miners using the box. :)

Cheers!

Get the miners while they last! !I

Got the miners, and they threw in the pi instead, which was great, but how the hell do I hook up the power???? They gave me UK power adapter????

ugh.  :( :( :(

Sorry about the power adaptor.

I'm not sure what/how I source the right adapters. Please help.

Can you honour the fact that I can't get my gridseeds going? Time is money man. Please compensate me for the power adapters as I need to buy some.

Edit: did you get these through Alex Hyunh (atari)? If so, please tell him to send me out correct power ASAP. I can also contact.

I have contacted seller.
Will get back to you

Thanks for the prompt reply; I have bought adapters at a cost to myself of $27.00. It'll take forever for Alex to send along, but I would like some sort of compensation.

Will pay you ASAP.

Thanks for accommodating.

refunded

Good price and fast aswers to questions.
Now im waiting for my 50 miners.  :D

Hi, could you pm me the tracking number of my purchase please ? I have not heard it from you since I purchase it 2 days ago.

Miners will ship soon.  Will update tracking info ASAP.

blade miners coming soon

Got a price on those?

Whoa... Price really dropped. Wonder if gridseed is set to make a new product announcement?

yes they have
the blade miner

1615 USD shipped. Price not final.

So you have to buy at least 10 of them?

10 of blades?
no no.
pricing including shipping for 1

To anywhere in the world? - How about import taxes etc.? - Last i got something by DHL from China I had to pay a 130$ fee for handeling.. that kinda sucked.

Price includes shipping for USA and Canada. Other countries shipping might be more or less.  And if your charged import tax we will refund it.

Is the blade price for all accessories as well?  Can you sell with no accessories just the blade and how much?  No import tax on blade as well?

how much to ship 1 of the asic blades to canada?
how much for 3?
if i paid you tomorrow, how soon would i get the blade?

1 X Gridseed Blade Miner
1 X Raspbery pi controller
1 X 10 port usb hub
1 X DC industrial power supply
2 X usb mini cable
1 x network cable
2 X country specific power adaptor (choice of US, UK, EU, AU)
if you dont want the pi its -50
not sure about no accessories. we dont charge heavy for accessories and since its plug and play you should consider getting them.

shipping starts on wednesday.
will let you know prices soon
and will post everything clearly in main page.
thanks

If you can find out if no accessories is possible that would be great.  I have all the accessories and prefer to power it with ATX vs the DC supplies that come with it.  Also do you still guarantee the no import tax on the blade as well?

no import tax is guaranteed
I am waiting on the actual price and all details.
will update in post as soon as i do.
 

the blade sale ends tomorrow.

Let me know what the price is. I may be interested in buying.

Blade prices updated on first page .
 :)

Its been 2 weeks now. Any tracking number or anything worth the show ? i hope that this is not a scam.

Hi Ming
I accept there has been a delay and i apologize for that.
As i already told the miners shipped on friday and will convert to DHL from hong kong. You might get the miners before you get the tracking.
Due to blade miners  its been a hectic time. Youl get ur tracking soon.
Rest assured, I am not a scammer.

New web-store www.theasicshop.com

added web store to allow for easy paypal and credit card payments.
Shipping still same, 2-3 days after payment and no import tax. refunded if any.
suggestions, constructive criticism welcome.
web-store is still rough so don't worry about design issue.

Tracking?

Just bought through the web store. In the USA. What's the ETA on shipping?

Have you all received your orders?  I cant seem to access the webstore, is this thread still valid?
