It very depends on possible price?

Indeed. The devices are great, but still a bit expensive.  I'm located in Europe.

I think you should create a new topic about this.

I would like to buy some chips if the price is good. Located in the US.

Where are people getting the chips? I emailed Gridseed direct and they said they are only selling the 5chip units at this time.

same questions here. I'd love to get my hands on some of the 20 LA6Ms , stacks of round things are cool too. US , but can take possession in CN directly

What is the easiest method of powering the 5-chip model?

I received a 12v 5a power brick that as easy as it gets for powering each gridseed. It is not as efficient as a PSU but it is a clean setup.

Hi,

Can you plug the gridseed to the usb port of a computer without the 12v adaptor?

Hi,

Beastlymac (or anyone who has these in hand), can you tell me if the unit is only being run in Scrypt mode does it still need the power adapter or can it run entirely off the USB connector?

No. Each chip is equivalent to one of the USB dual miners. Each dual miner sucks up all the power of a USB 2.0 port. Each unit has 5 chips, so you would need 5x power of a USB 2.0 port (maybe 4x since you don't have to multiply the support stuff).

I've got a bizarre idea on how to mount these using 4" PVC tubing that i'll cut a slit down the side of for cable and reset access.  Each tube will be a stack of miners working in their own little wind tunnel.  I may even remove the fans from the individual units and just mount a single inlet/exhaust fan at each end since i've heard they generate very little heat. 

That could work.

Thanks but if you use a power usb hub and only do script you still need to put an adaptor of 12v to each one?

Nope, it receives the work but does nothing with it. Maybe if you have some juiced up HUB you could try it but not on a normal powered HUB or directly plugged into the PC. It screws up the COM ports doing this and you have to restart your PC  .

I think he meant to say:  Buy shares, which represent X amount of hasing power using the Gridseed devices he's hosting.

[fasbit]

You can buy the miners if you want.  You just have to wait for them to get here. They are not sitting on a shelf in my office.

You will have some time to make up your mind... it makes especially hard if the price jumps from "1" to "5"...then you really got tough decision!

Guy could someone work out an average ROI on one of these sets. $2700 for 3000 hash power. It seems to work out 120-240 days before roi is reached. Or am I missing something? with more and more of these units being sold( a huge amount) isn't this also going to up the difficulty in the coming months? does this mean that coin wars calculator for coin profit isn't accurate because it doesn't take into account difficulty increases in coins?

If hypothetically you were to mine 3000/ms on middle coin for 4 months, would you even see roo in 4 months? Also these units are new so if they fail after 2-3 months(which no one knows it true or not, isn't this a null void waste. I understand there is risk, but it seems a bit troubling to say the least when you do the math from say March onwards..?
