Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

hi guys sorry i am still trying to make sense of this. Is the below accurate?
1) LA3M USD2600+USD150 for dhl express, 3MHS scrypt+100GHS SHA256. (will be 5MHS for the new shipment per rammy2k2).
It includes 10XUSB cell, 1X controller,2X 12V industry adapter,10Xmini usb cable,10X 12V power cable,1Xusb hub,1Xmini usb cable,1X5V usb adapter
2) LA6M USD5100+USD300 FOR DHL express, 6MHS scrypt+200GHS SHA256.
It includes 20XUSB cell, 1X controller, 4X 12V industry adapter, 20Xmini usb cable,20X 12V power cable,1Xusb hub,1Xmini usb cable,1X5V usb adapter
So for LA3M, it will be equal to 12X R9 270X which cost ~$2800 including all the parts. There is no cost advatange, the advantage is the significant power savings, the disadvantage is resale value (as you can sell video cards much easier).
Is this accurate?
Where is your source for these? Because looking around at a few sites it would seem that the graphics cards alone would cost $2800 to $3300 dollars. Then you add 2 motherboards and at least 4 PSUs....cables, memory, case, cpu.... I find your $2800 price highly suspect. Which would put LA3M as a much better price. |

My numbers may be off by 5-10% but my point is the cost is not a factor here like the sha256 asics where there is significant gh/$ difference vs video cards. It's more about power savings. |

I think he is sleeping. Ill hook you up with a copy of the PM i got from him. I wouldn't send any funds until you confirm stock obviously. I am under the impression he has plenty though. |

sorry if this has already been answered but.. If i only buy 1 unit of the Gridseed, do I still need the "wiibox" controller, power supply, and USB hub? Or can it be driven directly from my computer?

Technically you can run all of these off of a computer....the wiibox allows you to not need a computer is all (ala running it off a Rasberry Pi). |

So if I buy just 1 unit of the Gridseed USB miner for testing purposes, my mining software on my desktop should detect the device? Any recommendation on which software I should be using along with the Gridseed miner? |

CGminer will recognize this device. If you can run CGminer. You can run a gridseed asic!
That is my impression anyway and i think firmware is being made for the raspberry pi.

Anyone receive tracking info? And, any confirmation if the first round of orders is being shipped without usb HUBs?
I didnt received any tracking info yet, but asiabtc told me "forwarder took it" (the package) . i guess soon we will have tracking info too |

When the firmware is sorted out will these be able to mine both scrypt and SHA-256 at full or even overclocked speed?

Any recommendation on which software I should be using along with the Gridseed miner? You have to use the custom version of cpuminer that is provided...ordinary builds of cgminer and the like won't work for these devices. There's also a USB driver which you need to install in order for Windows to correctly detect the device. I should be getting mine soon, so I'll be able to give you more specific answers but until then, this is what I understand based on reading a lot of threads across both bitcointalk and litecointalk. |
