Busy trying to make money to pay off my loan and pay off this bounty. I am sorry, but I can't make $4000 appear out of no where. I am still living pay check to pay check, I am still working at my main job, I started a new business to help make some money but I'm not receiving many sales so I'm not making hardly any money with that. It is what it is, please just be patient.

I have not and will not forget about this and I will pay it as soon as I can.

Works under Linux too.

This is a good guide on how to install BFGminer: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=517451.0

Oops, you are on my mind this morning Amdd.

Yes I meant Relm9.

Hey! Glad you like it!


I'm not sure at this moment. They are technically Amdd's forums and he needs to manually authenticate people to let them join and post, so if I want to continue using his forums I will need to work something out with him. I haven't thought about it too much, but it is a possibility. For now I was just planning on using these forums.. most of the participants in this group buy already have access to those forums, so maybe it would be good.

There are still 15 Gridseeds in stock, this will be all we have for a while so get 'em while we got 'em.


Easy Mining Update:
It seems we have an unstable rig. I am trying to narrow it down to which one it is, you will notice on coinshift our rigs are being separated into workers according to the color of their rapsberry pi's case.

So... we have teal, clear, and naked (poor guy doesn't have a case!) Edit: Naked was the culprit, changing out the Pi to see if it has any affect.. if not, I will separate its hubs in between two Pis. He has been replaced by 'white'.

All easy mode miners are mining on three pis with 24 to 27 gridseeds each.

I just got some more Pis in today, so I will try separating the trouble rig into two rigs to see if that helps any if my original plan doesn't work. My original plan consists of simply re-imaging the SD card and seeing how it works.

2nd Edit: All up and running fine now. Faulty USB hubs were at play. Those cheap ones don't work worth a crap. Luckily I got 10 more Rosewills in the mail today and replaced the hubs and wa lah. All is good again! It is odd though sometimes the cheap hubs work and sometimes they don't. It's hit or miss I guess. The rosewill hubs work awesome with Pis though.. no problems at all! Pushing 27-30 Mh in easy mode.

Sure, I'll PM you my personal email.

Thanks

It would take years and years and years to generate '3KARPE1ESwHERE1SoUrMoNEYxxxx8dXeC5'. Therefore it is likely no one owns the private keys to that address. Any super long vanity address like that.. people ask "wow how can they generated such a long vanity address". The short answer is that they can't, the private keys are unknown even to the creator of the address. As long as the address starts with a 1 or a 3 and has a valid hash at the end of the first part of the address, it is considered "valid" by the client.

By the way, if you didn't read the wall of texts above, we are suspending pre-orders of the Gridseed ASICs. Accessories still for sale.

There are 15 available in stock in the store, hosted or not, but that will be it for a little bit.

Thanks

PS: Lazy hosting guys.. I was tinkering around in the farm again today, sorry for the bit of down time. I rearranged some things and fixed a couple units.. a couple bad usb cables etc. It seems we have one RMA, which I will receive a refund for. That will go towards mining income.

Hey Fedge,

I understand where you're coming from. Let me explain the decision on the PSUs.

- Although they are a bit cheaper than the top of the line PSUs, this PSU has very good customer ratings
- The power savings from a bronze rated PSU compared to a gold rated PSU is minimal
- In my experience the top of the line PSUs are simply overpriced compared to what you can get on the next tier down
- This PSU can run a lot of amperage on the 12v lines which is good for running a lot of Gridseeds.. almost the whole PSUs wattage can be pulled from the 12v lines.

My buddy, who is a gaming enthusiast, was helping me setup had never heard of Kingwin either. After setting these up and looking at them in person he said he was going to buy these for his next PC build- he was that impressed. Although they may not be top of the line super expensive PSUs, I feel like they are pretty good quality. Definately a step up from the cheapo industrial regulated PSUs other Gridseed suppliers are using.

I usually use metal wire shelves, but I was trying to save a buck. I may end up replacing those all together and just using them for boxes of accessories etc. It is actually plastic shelving, and as you can see in the pictures the shelves are not completely even which caused some of the towers of Gridseeds to kind of lean to one side or another. They have been running for more than 24-48 hours now and have not moved much, so I think they are fine stability wise, but if I need to troubleshoot or move something around it's going to be a PITA. So... I agree with you the shelving could use an upgrade.

Yes.. with so many wires it's hard to organize everything! After setting everything up it has allowed me to get a better idea of how to do it better. I will definitely be organizing everything a bit more.

We have another busy day ahead of us! All of our ATX power cables are made by hand, so we are going to get together and bang a bunch of them out so that we have a small stockpile. Making the cables is the most time consuming part of getting a package together and setting up the hosted equipment, so it will be nice to have a lot of them made!

Thanks & take care,

Will

Done- Thanks

For you (from memory I think you paid $185 each), it will be $10 a unit. Those that paid $190 when the group buy was being organized and I was still getting prices.. it will be $15 a unit.

You have a PM

Ok, well I should of tried this earlier but the high rejection rate problem we were experiencing was with the pool clevermining.com

I have switched us over to coinshift as suggested earlier and we are running well with only ~3.7% error rate, which is very respectable.

It will take a while for the pool to update and I'm going to play around with it a little bit more before getting all the other units up and running, but I feel like changing pools solved all of our biggest problems. We currently have 27 per Pi and it seems to be functioning flawlessy. We tried another 10 port hub at the end of the chain, but 6 ports in teh last hub didn't work and bfgminer froze.

Just thought I'd share the good news..

Back to work & Thanks.. sorry for the delay

Yes will likely keep it around 850 mhz

----------

I started making some headway last night, but I fell aslep here at the office! I have been up almost two days straight trying to get this stuff to work. It now seems almost impossible with the current state of mining clients for Gridseeds to run more than  24 or so on one Pi. I got tired of messing around with the hashra image and scripta. I built cgminer from source about right before I fell asleep and was able to get cgminger to see 52 Gridseeds. cgminer launches in this instance and acts like it's working, but no work was being submitted. :\

Today I am going to focus on just building a lot of smaller systems and getting everything up and running. I was really hoping to get as many per Pi as possible due to expandability issues and costs, but it's just not going to work right now. I hope a better mining client is released in the near future that can handle more of these. There's no reason why we shouldn't be able to run 49+ like I had originally planned.

Sorry for the delay, I've been working really hard. Before I fell asleep last night I had been up for almost 24 hours troubleshooting. Just know I'm working on it and I'll get us up and running as soon as possible!! I even had some help show up last night.. my friend who is good with computers. It is simply technically impossible at this point in time to do much more than 24 per Pi unfortunately. It's time to move on and just get everything running.

Thanks

I'll be able to do refunds this weekend when it slows down a bit. I've still got a lot to do to get Batch 1 fully setup.

We are here: http://clevermining.com/users/1NoSqFgsexazNDncU1ArWnBA7fewrtaFnR

Getting a lot of rejects.. I think I need to reduce the number of units per Pi. Right now I have 25.. they DIY rig that only has 15 is getting much lower rejects, so I think by bringing the two that have 25 down to 20 should help a lot.

50 Easy mode hosted units are now hashing. Only ~17 left to go and all easy mode miners are hashing.

1 out of 2 DIY hosting accounts are hashing. I am awaiting pool info for the 2nd one.

We have 15 extra Gridseeds in stock that were ordered in batch 1 which can ship out tomorrow. PM me and I'll make you a good deal.

Thanks

I was very weary of this offering from the onset due to his price for hosted units being lower than Gridseed's wholesale price.

However, I try to stay out of competitors threads because all that brings is drama.

I wish now I would of voiced my concern, I hope no one lost too much money and please be careful in the future.

Cheers

Hrm.. I don't feel like logging into the smart hashing account.

Thanks very much for your order! That puts us up above the minimum batch threshold, so I will place an order for Batch 2 tonight. Please get your orders in before 10 PM CST to be included!!

----------------------

A change to the shipment policy for Gridseeds with no accessories only, all other products are unaffected: if you order 20 or more units (must be in multiples of 20), then your Gridseeds will be shipped to you directly from China. Again, you must only order in multiples of 20 for this to work. Our supplier doesn't have the facilities or employees to repackage orders smaller than 20 or any orders that are not in multiples of 20s since this is how they receive them from Gridseed.

EDIT: I am going to make a separate product for this in the store to make the only ordering in multiples of 20 very clear.

I am working towards offering in stock equipment. I don't really have a lot of money to plop down a huge order like some of my competitors, so I will have to work up to that.

Please bear with me and thanks for your support!

Ch

All Avalons are no longer available, I have worked out a deal.

Thanks
