[Group buy #3] OPEN GRIDSEED miner BTC/PP/WU worldwide

[Maidak]

Get purchasing! As soon as I hit 100 units I will buy the other 100 to push this group buy along alot faster.

Just a quick update on this I have a few users who are buying large bulk quantities which will surpass the minimum order for these puppies. I will get the site fixed ASAP and order will more then likely be submitted by monday.

The first post shows 120/200. Is the order being placed today (Monday, March 10)?

BTW: How many unites to be considered "bulk".

100+ units is what I would consider a bulk purchase the orders going to be placed between tues-wed unless gridseed replies back within less then 24 hours.

I just put in an order for 10 on your website also. Order number 761.

thanks

Any scrypt based coin will work.

Has anyone been able to update the firmware on these units?  Lightningasics has an update to the firmware that supposedly makes them more stable. Just trying to decide which to buy.

I think the upgrade is for the controller, not the miner. According to reports, the miners are stable under Raspberry Pi/Linux. The controller software upgrade trades one set of headaches for another.

My order is in. Do these units come with any means of connecting them to power? A barrel plug tail or something? Or should I source something like these while I'm waiting?

I will be making a decision in the next 8 hours. 120/200 is still too far of an assurance I need. Maidak, please say when you are ready to send the order in and use your best judgement when you will receive and get miners in my hands. Thanks.

It should be much higher than 120/200 as quite a few orders have gone in since then. He should be about ready to make the order. He needs to keep updating as it will help bring in people to know you are close.

Did I miss the "Group Buy" or is there still time to get an order in?

[richmke]

Maidak: I think you should post a "24 hour notice to get your order in", and up the price by $10/miner. Use the extra profit to give bonuses to the rest of us who placed our orders early.

If people want to cut the time period from when they order to when they receive, they should pay up for the "expedited" service.

Really looking forward to this and thanks for organizing! I ordered 30, #738, and now we're above order #760...

If you're wondering how to power and control these babies, I'm doing a custom ATX setup with a RPi controller, custom cables to power the miners and USB hubs. The Pi is highly recommended instead of the Wiibox, and running as many units off PCIe power as possible - up to 4 per cable versus 3 for molex, for rock solid stability. I figure I can run at least 16 that way with a nice Corsair AX series and the rest off Molex and SATA with only a few adapters. It would be cool to program a status LCD on the Pi.

This is my first custom rig so it'll be interesting to learn what works best and see how this thing evolves and if I even make any money from it. It's funny to find all these milkcrate and PVC mining racks all over the internet... soon that'll be me too I'm sure.

Let's get this party started!

[Edit: removed references to my custom power cable guy b/c he's too busy]

[Maidak]

Submitted payment request to gridseed last night still have room for more orders i will update later tonight very busy with getting this setup so apologies for any delays on updating.

Question, does the Wiibox controller come with a USB hub or do we have to source that separately (when ordering in multiples of 10)?

Thanks

[broyboy]

I assumed no USB hub included. I ordered two of these 13 ports and one 10 port off eBay for less than $25:
