LIGHTNINGASIC LA100M,100MHS SCRYPT Miner, USD1999; LA1THS, USD1750.shipped out!

[Beastlymac]

so does your website have them instock now?

No they are out of stock.

[Anddos]

When do you expect to get more of these modules

Just received yesterday some gridseed units from asiabtc everything work well tanks to the great support from him , after a firmware upgrade the units are hashing smooth in LTC mode at 300/350 khs each,i  will try the combo mode in the next hours, i sell few of them for 400$ each or equivalent in  BTC including cables firmware upgrade and help for setting ,buying 5 units i give for free a PSU i'm EU based north Italy locally pickup welcome i prefer to ship inside europe,for any question PM me

Is anyone trying to run these units on a linux machine? tnx

Gridseed have released a cgminer driver on their github you can give that a shot.

No, but I hope they will have more... or found them too late

It's CNY so don't expect anything before 08 Feb

I need to ask, what is the value of buying this miner? With only 300K Scrypt and 8G SHA256 what is the point?  We're talking over $62 per GH when looking at mining Bitcoin, that's insane.

It's the first scrypt asic ever.

Right, but isn't it about as effective as a Radeon 7790 and uses about as much power? If the ASIC isn't any more efficient than a GPU the cost is pretty prohibitive.

Even if it's the first ScryptAsic why to pay so high price, if we have other ways to pay much less than that?! I just got an 55nm 200GHs miner from China and paid for it, with custom and VAT tax 18.25$/GHs. I got prices from Jack, and will make a short quick comparative study. Hope it worth buying them.

I would buy one if I can get it working on Raspberry Pi. 
No sky high Electricity bills anymore

I wait to know about your experience with this

Yes my unit is working and hashing at the advertised 300kh/s

Care to show screenshots? I see lots of people claiming they work, and lots of pictures of hardware, but absolutely no proof. And the only people claiming they work are the same people trying to sell them.

And again I've talked to people in person outside of these forums who have them in hand and claim they do not work, or at least did not when received.

I posted a short video last page. I am not a reseller. It took a little fiddling to get started, but it worked. I didn't let it run long though, since I had other project going on at the time.

It's fine if you don't believe me, but there are some much more credible people in this very thread also vouching for its function.

What I (and others) would like to see is this hardware working in notable mining software such as bfgminer and cgminer. Currently the only software provided is a hack of cpuminer (my understanding) that barely works, if it works.

Again, my point is that these manufacturers should be sending hardware to the mining software authors so that this stuff works when it hits the streets. Instead they send them to the folks that can help re-sell the hardware and hype it.

Edit: and before pointing out that they've also forked cgminer - so did Bitmaintech. And it was still several revisions before that code was ever included in cgminer, and never worked with other ASICs such as Block Erupters.

Edit #2: also not trying to "call out" the resellers or really anyone else. Beastlymac (and others) have been fantastic at making sure the miner authors have access to what they need in order to support everyone's mutual user-base. I am simply saying this shouldn't be the (lone) responsibility of the reseller. These samples went out more than a week ago, and not one went to anyone who could help on the software side.

I agree; getting the beta units up took some technical knowledge. The software and documentation need a lot of help. The devices did go to people that can help, even if some of them have been busy with day jobs since they received them. Personally, I received something that looked and worked better than I expected for a beta unit.

I don't know what is being purchased and sold right now, but your points make a good checklist for things that should be cleaned up for production release.

Please don't hijack other peoples threads. Also I think the op is selling it for 2600+shipping .

I was hoping there was something more, but we (drfranz and me) are currently trying the cgminer 3.1.1 patched from gridseed github! I'll keep you posted. tnx

I'm wiling to do a review for a free sample,can you please get this arranged for me as I want to test this out.Im a pro filmmaker with a lot of enthusiasm and a huge twitter following of over 160k.

PM me please

I said that I would buy 1 unit if it works with RPi.
