Title: Any larger Gridseed Dualminers?
Post by: crazyates on March 07, 2014, 09:20:53 PM
I'm looking into those Gridseed Dualminers. Any know of any hardware that uses those chips, but in something that doesn't require two dozen USB ports, and a funk power supply? If there was a product like an Avalon or Antminer that was a larger board with a few dozen of those chips, I would be all over that.

Gridseed Dualminer = 5 chips for 330kh/s.

AntMiner S1 has 64 chips (32 chips per board). If a similar device used those scrypt chips, each board would only pull 385W, which is twice what the Ant S1 pulls per board, and wouldn't be possible without a giant heatsink and some serious airflow. I'm going to assume we'll use the scrypt only mode.

A board with 32 chips would make 10.5mh @ 50W. With that low heat, you could put 4-5 of those boards all in one small chassis.

I know we're not talking about anything cheap here, and might cost some serious coin, but anyone know of anything similar to what I'm talking about?

I had talked with gridseed a couple of weeks ago and they are working on the 6 MH/s and 12 MH/s versions.  They were wanting 6k or so for the 6 MH/s version and somewhere over 11K for the 12 MH/s version.  But the lead time for each project was about 6 weeks as they would not start production until a certain amount were sold so I passed on the deal.

That's awesome! But.... you can buy 6MH/s of their USB miners for less than 6k, so I'm having a hard time seeing the appeal...
