According to that URL 1 of these devices only takes 8 watt while mining Scrypt (with 300 kh/s). I would love to have 3 of these devices ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) . Please keep us updated!

Please keep us updated! this is Crytomining's thread. I didn't mean to hijack it it seems as though there are 2 versions out. I would certainly be interested to get my paws on one or more.

I wouldn't trust the Alibaba sellers. Both are unverified, and one of them refused to talk to me on Alibaba and requested I email his personal email at xiangliao@gmail.com

UPDATE Manufacture came through, we have inbound product. Manufacture said by weekend, and got it out today. Looking forward to posting vids, pics, and mining scrypt with 8 watts. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) INTERESTED, please could you do videos/pics of: 1. Mining only Scrypt coins to see the full SCRYPT capacity. 2. Mining only SHA-256 coins to see the full SHA-256 capacity. 3. Mining both (SCRYPT & SHA-256) to see how balanced they are. +1 Yes yes yes ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Sad to say this looks pretty fake. All I see are CPU coolers with photoshopped LEDs. This is why I could mine, so much safer :3

how much it cost to build 3mh/s rig ? 100gh/s at 2.7 price not worth we talk about
but very good idea combine 2 miner. wish you good luck!

I am in for at least the 10 unit package if you can accept escrow.
Please PM once units are in hand. Will pay with BTC.

CAUTION. I have been talking to Gridseed about these and they have made an official statement that there are as yet no official distributors. We have put in an application to be a UK distributor You can read a list of distributors when available on the DigInForce Forum It's Chinese but Chrome will translate for you http://bbs.diginforce.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=17&extra=page%3D1Here is their quote 1, before Gridseed official announcement on the official website of the official sales of the product release, all current online (including Taobao) declared that "pre-sale", "notice", "spot" of institutions and individuals are fake.
send any money out at your own risk

All I see are some coolers with photoshoped LEDs
pretty much what I see. looks scammy.

I think I will be waiting for dense Gridseed based hardware, but nice to see them in the wild at least.
For those defending GPUs as more profitable:
GPU:
Energy hungry Hot Hard to scale at a point without industrial cooling and power Less up-front cost, but long term pain due to the above
ASIC
Energy efficient Much less heat Easier to scale (Simple USB hosts compared to also needing an entire PC to run multiple GPUs) More up front cost, but savings in the long term due to the vastly increased efficiency.
Pluses and minuses as with all things. Anyone spouting off about how GPUs are so much superior are not considering all points.
I am looking forward for better Scrypt ASICs. But this ASIC will not replace GPUs. your comparison is wrong. look at the first post of this thread. this ASIC is just a little bit energy efficient and generate just a little bit less heat than gpus. But the asic is two times expensive than gpus. and remember, gpus have a second hand market. i'll be waiting for a better asic with less power and more mh.

The energy efficiency advantage isn't small— it's similar to the improvement early Bitcoin asics achieved over GPUs— and don't forget the secondary costs (PSUs, motherboards and slots, etc.) that these miners will reduce. The price is a product of the manufacturers pricing of an exclusive bleeding edge part— these are not chips which costs more to produce than GPUs by any means— even absent competition you can expect the pricing to eventually achieve whatever amount allows them to sell a metric boat load of them and the power efficiency will drive GPUs out of the market. This is my prediction at least. GPUs had their advantages but they did for Bitcoin too, the story is pretty similar and GPUs are irrelevant today for SHA256 mining.
