Fans will be removed from the gridseeds on all future orders!

Pricing is all out of whack on here now that prices have started to fall.  Post or PM for prices.

We are not direct hardware sellers.

We will purchase, setup, host your devices or provide a lease based on 3-4 payments.  We will also do onsite setup for bulk orders 100+ and do hardware modding: Setup 400 to one controller PC (* this is me laughing at you when you say it's not possible) overclock, rackmount 40-50 in a 3U chassis etc.

FAQ:

Q: WIll you offer dual mode to mine Scrypt and SHA256 at the same time?
A: It significantly changes the pricing so PM us.  (it's not worth it, buy an ANT)

I will be providing shares in these devices at $2.30 each, 100 per device.  Payouts will be done automatically every day by the Cex.io auto payout feature.  Miners will be sold at the end of the 90 days and profit split up, unless 100+ share's holders vote to keep going.  In that case, I will keep hosting some of them for the $10 a month extended hosting fee, split up between shareholders.

EDIT:

That edit sure added a lot of info ::)

That's really good pricing for the L1 option!

Where do I send the coin to lease one?   :)

Sent.  Tyvm!   :D

where are we at with firmware updates? there used to be talk of .5M for these

also, my head hurts

We are at there is likely to be mass release of blade style boards before there are updates to the firmware.

with the 'Option L1' would a person be able to have it set to any pool they want? or do gain full control over the device?

You choose the clock frequency (800-850 optimal) and the pools or use leaserig proxy to control and lease it out on leaserig.net 

Our front end for pool management is still being built so pools are done through PM right now.  So far most people just set pools and leave everything running from antminers to gpu's to gridseeds we don't find many people changing pools.

set me up with 5 units under 'L1' option.

The "LIMITED AVAILABILITY" includes 1 per customer.  

I can set you up for 1 x L1?

EDIT: I'll update the OP as well.

Im sorry i go with 5 units under h1. and 1 unit under l1

5 x 225 = 1125 (http://preev.com/btc/usd/source:bitstamp) 1.78BTC

Hi,
I'd like to purchase 10x L1 option.

It was removed from the OP again!

There is a 1 per customer and limited quantity per round available for the L1 option.  I can do one lease and 9 hosted or just one lease.  Let me know.  I'll fix the OP again.

My L1 GridSeed is online and has been happily hashing LTC for about 4 hours now.  Pretty sweet!     8)

I PM'd you that was going to open up bulk leases.   If you are still interested in QTY 10 let me know.

The following will be online tonight for initial testing.  If you have not sent in your pool information yet please do so.  The client management/monitoring interface should be online sometime next week so you can manage your pools and monitor your leases/hosted devices.

The next round will  arrive in 2-4 business days.

Round two is up.  There is one available and one voltage modded gridseed running at ~400Kh/s at 1000mhz available.

There were two pool issues.  The rest are online.  I'll PM your serial numbers tomorrow.  

Miners are started via serial number and physically labeled so you don't just have one grid in a farm you have an actual miner:

EDIT: Miners are down for the night and will be up in 12 hours.  Looks like there is still a bug somewhere.  I'll be swapping to cpuminer like the rest of the leased units.

Let me know if you are not seeing a similar hashrate at your pool.

The 420Kh/s device is my voltage modded GridSeed.  It is showing 420-430 at the poolside.  The issue last night was a defective raspi so I'll be replacing it when these get racked over the weekend.

BTW That's 420Kh/ash with 0 HW errors :)

my worker is only showing
1,094.60 KH/s

For last hour when i should have
6 x device running.

Something's wrong with mine as well, it's not showing up on multipool, 0 accepted shares. Do these things even work with multipool?

Yes they should work no problem.

cool...dunno wtf the problem is  ???  gonna try a different worker that I know works.

It's looking like a batch of bad cables.  I'm rebuilding now and then I'll swap out cables and test.

Looks like it's four units affected.  I'll payout for lost time once everything is settled.

More to follow

OK

Everything is worked out.  New hardware is shipping next day air.  I'm going to have to trash the Pi's and run these on linux boxes so I'll get those ordered up as well.

The leased units from the first hosted deal will be moving in with these over the weekend and then hopefully it can go in the rack with it's buddies.

Next round delivery is scheduled for Monday.

Looks like a power cord went bad and the issue with running individual cgminer instances on the Pi.

One hosted and one leased units are dead.   I have a total of four dead units from the last batch.

The next batch is 22 arriving Monday.  I've PM'd both parties and offered options including a full refund (one was from batch one with hosting starting on 3/3)

This last batch had a rash of bad hardware.  DOA miners, bad power connectors and missing USB cables. 

The alpha of pool management was tested and works for pool management and monitoring.

http://puu.sh/7EFb7.png

If anyone wants their HOSTED unit voltage modded to run at 400Kh/s we will bear the risk of killing the unit and mod it for you!


I have never charged for overclocking and grids are no different.

It will void your warranty IE if the unit works after the mod but dies after 24 hours it's on you.

Due to the rash of bad hardware I will not be offering new hosted or leased units until everything is running.  Due to the issue with cgminer and the Pi I may change the pricing structure to be lower! 

Sounds like good progress cant wait to test it out my self and have control.

Ive been researching the GridSeed and I have a general question. At 360 kh/s you will generate around 22.4 Lightcoin a year. Thats roughly $375 a year in USD. Are you guys speculative mining hoping LTC goes up in price over time? I don't see how much money can be made with these machines.

/\/\/\

There is a whole board for speculation on the forum.   Everyone has a different ROI calculator and opinion so this isn't the place. 

I've been asked several times now so I'll put it out here: If you want more than 100 gridseeds setup and running at your location I can get everything setup DOA tested and ship to you or fly out and setup everything for around $200-$210 + travel per seed depending on what types of accessories you are looking for.

I prefer old used PC's converted to linux for the controller however if you want more than 100 seeds I could do a micro-atx cube build with 5 host controllers to control up to 500 seeds from one unit.  Raspberry PI's will work fine if you use 1 per 10-50 devices and only run one instance of cgminer per system.  CPUminer seems to work a bit better on the PI for quantity.

I would be very interested in the Bulk Lease option of 10 - 20 or maybe more...

Let me know what the prices are please!

Can you point me to this mod and how it was done??
