That gives $23 for me but these figures vary from one minute to the next. Oh thats $23 for the best coin, yes DOGE is down at about $15 right now. |

Straighten me out on something here. I've been following the rumors, comments, assertions etc. on btc for some time now and only tonight decided to take a deeper more critical look at it. What I understand thus far, makes me ask... Why is it not profitable to mine with the GC3355 5 chip miners? From what the calculations on coinwarz.com shows, mining btc is way more profitable than mining LTC or any other scrypt coin for that matter. Doesn't coinwarz's calculator take into consideration that btc is mined by thousands with super duper TH/s rigs? Why the great skepticism on mining btc anymore? Still, I read others posts about running antminers at only a few 1.6GH/s rates making profits of 6 to 8 bucks per day.What's so bad about that? I mean,with 10 ant miners, one can theoretically earn $60/$80 per day. WTF is wrong with that? That't way better than mining Scryptcoins, not to say Scrypt isn't worth mining but it is indeed, worth - less. So I don't get it since our beloved dual miners will run many times this rate - per pod -...making one up to hundreds of dollars per day! I'm a little bit confused! A little help by someone well versed and experienced on the subject of btc mining with ASICs or even GPU's,, if necessary  Mining is mining. We ALL can mine BTC, in any case. Not ALL can mine the same types of Script. Obvious but, interesting. Thanks! Wolfey2014 I dont know where you are getting those numbers from for Antminer earnings. When I put 1.6GH/s into Coinwarz it tells me they earn $0.16/day mining the most profitable coin. The Bitcoin side of the Gridseedx5 runs at 8G and Coinwarz makes that a profit of $0.79/day. Running it in Litecoin only mode produces $2.5/day on the best Scrypt coin according to Coinwarz. |

Thanks for the tracking number. Are these being collected today or tomorrow?

Thanks for the answers! The only thing i don't like is the full power usage. Is there a way, when they are connected to a pc to mine LTC on 7W ?
I think we might have to wait for full support from bfgminer to have proper control. |

So is the shipment still in Hong Kong or has DHL collected it already?

Edit: I sent marto another PM requesting a sample.
Good luck.  Ha yes Marto is well known for his quick responses. |

Still waiting for mine to arrive and wondering if it is feasible to run them in scrypt only mode with no fan fitted. Anyone tried it?

OK Guys, i just ordered a unit and it should be coming next week. (hopefully) I am actually taking a chance here since my main computer is a iMAC and i can't seems to find any information. The seller claimed that it should work on MAC as well but couldn't provide more information. Anybody like to chip in? Or i am better off selling it on ebay?  i looked around quite a bit and i haven't heard of any Mac OS support..sorry...for the time being at least. damm...  That is pretty daunting news... bfgminer works on OS X and should support the miner soon we hear, would that be any use for you? |

Careful, make you you choose the 360W 12V 30A version (its not cheaper we are) !!! Depends whether you take postage into account |

Good review |
|

One more questoin for individual power supplies. Is 5a a maximum, minimum, or both? If I use a 12V 6A power supply is that going to overload it?
You are better off with a 6A supply as that leaves a little bit of breathing space and means the supply is not running at maximum load. |

The Wii controller box is a TPlink tl-wr703n correct? Is it possible to buy this device and upload the gridseed firmware so it will work like the Wiibox that gridseed is providing?
I was just wondering about that myself. I presume those zip files you have at the start of the thread will download into it? After a look at the zips in question I dont think there is any Linux included there so they are not just an image of the controller |
|
|
|
What is the final consensus on the connector size for individual power supplies? Is it 2.1mm, 2.5mm, or both?
The actual size is 2.5mm but it seems that 2.1mm fit also. |

I have seen a few mentions of gridseed in the bfgminer thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=168174.0;topicseenI think they are probably concerning the single chip gridseed but bfgminer support would be the best option I think. Luke-Jr has already made contact with Lightningasic so perhaps we should all ask in his thread. |

Luke are you considering adding support for the gridseed 5 chip miner?
It is selling like hotcakes but has rather poor software support. bfgminer would be magic...

Yes that one looks a good option. I dont like to tell people that the supplies the makers suggest you use are wrong, but without seeing detailed specs for the equipment I can only use my experience as an electronics engineer to give my opinion. I have seen plenty of posts in these forums where people are saying things like some units shut down after xx time of mining. Some are even advocating regular restarts to keep things running. Those are the sort of symtoms that might well result from running a power supply on its limit. A power surge or some circuit condition that draws a little more power for an instant might cause a momentary current limit in the supply and that could easily disrupt the miner's operation. Consequently I would suggest a 6 amp supply for each miner or run 5 miners from one 30 amp supply. |

Does anyone know if the dualminer version of cgminer will work with the 5 chip units?
It doesn't support 5 chip units 5 chip units? what? where? link? There are many articles, group buys etc for the 5 chip units, here is one - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=472222.0 |
