just ordered 2 of these from batch 5 as a test... will report back when i have them in hand and hashing away. if all works out well i will definitely be buying more!
Hey massnerder, I remember you from the old terrahash days! lol Yes I am ordering 1 today, just trying to be clear on what I will need. what are you using to power yours? Hey MMNC! ahhh yes the old days of several months ago lol That whole debacle is why I only ordered 2, I figured I could compare them with one of my 7950s, and as long as I actually get the hardware this time (and it looks like I will, quite quickly, looking at other comments in this thread), getting more of these should end up being a no brainer. Hoping it works out better here than that one did for us both! For now I just got the cheap power supply units suggested on the zoomhash page via ebay. If I get more of these I will probably go with the pci-e to 3 male plug adapters. I don't have the link offhand but they are available through someone here on bitcointalk. A quick google for gridseed configuration should bring you right to it. Hey link me to the cheap power supply they refer to, as I don't see it lol,,,, maybe just getting old and blind I have plenty of atx PSU's and will do what you are saying with the pci e later on. Ok, link me to the power supply if ya don't mind PS: and yes I'm going to start slow and order 1 first this time learned the hard way didn't we With the reputation zoomhash has built up sofar I am very hopeful... only time will tell. I ordered my 2 units earlier today and now see the web page says sold out! Will be watching for my tracking info tomorrow. Sent you a PM with the link . Batch 6 is up. Batch 5 sold out very quickly. We can't wait to stock individual power supplies and psu cords. Also, the raspberrpi might be able to control up to 24 units and its cheaper than the controller. Stay tuned .

Hey gang, would this this PSU work for a single grid in dual mining mode? I cant tell if the barrel on this is the correct specs though. Opinions welcome or a link to one that will work and get here in time! lol or Ill need to order or buy the mail adapter plugs and tie in to old ATX psu. http://www.habeyusa.com/products/pw-12v402-12v-5a-dc-power-adapter-with-power-cord-ul-certified/#Menu=ChildMenu0

One of the images shows it to be center positive but it doesnt say the size. Also, 60 watts is right at where these things run in dual mode so its probably going to get pretty hot pretty fast.

I use 2.1 although 2.5 will work.

I use 2.1 although 2.5 will work. Oh I see, no wonder I was getting mixed up (either size will work) lol. So a 60 watt will be tight on power draw. k, Ill keep looking as I do want to try to set up dual of course. When I go for the big order of grids I plan to get some 3-ways from cablez. THX!

These asics have own risks - if difficulty starts to grow exponentially, as with bitcoins, they'll never going to get to break-even. Even with current difficulty it will take almost 7 months to get to break-even ( http://bitcoinwisdom.com/litecoin/calculator), but guess what happens when they start delivery en mass and prices drops too? And right now it looks like some sort of school project - no documentation for device that potentially overtakes a hundred mil GPUs market for scrypt? Either somebody doesn't want to give away information, or knows something that better not to document. So difficulty should not exceed 7000 by year end to get devices to break-even (if exchange rate stays the same of course). Or exchange rate should continue to grow along with difficulty (best scenario), but unfortunately there is no way to hedge against changes in exchange rate. It would be nice to be able to sell bunch of futures contracts on LTC, but none available afaik GPUs, on other hand, won't be worthless even if whole things collapses tomorrow. There are benefits, of course - electricity bill, maintenance supposedly much better. But I think changes are close to zero there will be second-hand market for these devices

Most of us are looking for the scrypt mining and FINALLY some relief in the electric bill! lol or at least that's my goal But having he BTC dual mining options makes it all the more interesting to

Zoomhash is there any firmware updates for these? Seems weird to have 2 that run so differently.

+1 for the Rasberry Pi. Throw your controller away and use one. I have 24 running at the moment off one Pi. Working great so far. Plus it's so cute!

ordered 60 units. knew i wasnt going to get power supplies but i got no barrel plugs at all.
I am pretty annoyed right about now. I already ordered them off amazon seeing as i refuse to wait for new barrel plugs to get shipped from china. (My order got shipped from china not california...)
I had to spend 120$ for 60 barrel plug cords also i cant mine with them in the mean time. I hope zoomhash will rectify the situation to the best of his ability.
PS: this morning i wake up to my phone ringing at about 8 am cause fedex is calling trying to figure out my address due to the fact they were only given a partial by the shipper...
Overall disappointed in the results of the chinese factory. Seems like they could put in a little more effort.

I can tell you that Zoom has been SUPER quick to rectify issues I've had with items missing from shipping (oddly enough all from China too, hmm). 60 will make a nice little farm. You going to run them in single or dual mode? I just got done taking 12 off of a controller and putting them on a Win7 box. LTC only, no fans... Cool and quiet.

I would run dual mode for the next difficulty adjustment but i just dont have the power i need for that. I was a little angry before. I know zoom will make right by it. I also know its on the factory in china and not on him personally.(sorry if i made it seem that way) 60 of 80. Only 35 running cause i only had 15 spare barrel plugs and 20 from my last set.

Can you post more details about your setup? What hubs are you using, how much hash are you averaging per device, and what you are using as an controller. Thank you!

I'm curious about the controller too. I've had zero luck with the controller that came with these things from Zoom. I had to put them all on PC's.

Zoomhash the batman of hashes happens again. I ordered 2 I have tracking on 2 items. The man is the most honest person I have ever dealt with. The right price and honesty what more could you ask for.
Thanks
