[In stock] Gridseed 5-chips USB miner - $259

[darkjed]

Hi all

I received all my units. Below is a couple of pictures of the temporary set up. I made my own power connectors out of male molex 4 pin power connectors with the 12 v line powering 2 gridseeds. I'm using 2.5X5.5 plugs, and although they fit and work, they are kind of loose. I might try something different for a next batch. This is connected to a 600 watt computer psu. I don't have a killawatt, but i might pick one up today to really see if these acutally draw so little power. They are kind of noisy but i plan on sticking them in a garage so noise shouldn't be an issue.

Can you list the specs for your PSU or model, also how many did you wire to the psu and what is your setup here. I have a few PC PSU's lying around and these looks like a better option for me then wasting money on some something on ebay.

I'll get more detailed pictures of the connectors I made when I get home tonight. As for the PSU its a 650 watt thermaltake that I've had for about 2-3 year now...

Wow, for some reason I didn't know we could do this with the gridseeds.  I saw a video online where someone said they fried it hooking up to 12v from an ATX power supply.  I'm guessing he must have crossed the wires or did something wrong, because you have this up and running. Thank you for sharing.

But what can they do with this. Send it back to China, or just gonna let you pay taxes? They have to send it trough eventually wont they?

I just got mine today! Just trying to figure how to use these :S

I got everything connected (Hacked up my PSU 12V line), used cpuminer, but my device is hashing at 150Kh/s then drops to 90Kh/s (Im mining on suchcoins.com).

Also, on the cpuminer I see this:



As you can see, it shows 0.00Kh/s

Where can I get a good copy of cpuminer?

Thanks!

That's software related, check out your pool you will find out that it is hashing ... at full speed ...

Hi Seeds, is it possible in any future orders I make with you to ship usps or if it is direct from china is there a form of mail service that switches to USPS/Canada post, DHL charged me $20 at the door. I hate those DHL bastards. Edit: I also really hate those UPS bastards

I can use EMS. It will go into the post system like USPS and Canada post.

In which case you still need to pay that $15. Anything coming in Canada that is greater than $10 (Well most of the time), will be charged a 13% "tax" on the product.

I'm not sure if there is a way to avoid that.

Received mine today. Have yet to hook it up. That control board is so damn tiny 1.5"x1.5".

Thanks Seeds

Any miners delivered to the EU yet?

So I was able to use a PC PSU, the PCIE especially are useful as you can use one PCIE power cable to connect to 3 devices since each pcie cable has 3x12V+ and 4xGroundm, also note you can use an ide molex to power the controller board and 1 miner, One ide Molex has 1xred wire(5V) for control board, 1xyellow wire(12v) for one miner, and 2 grounds
