Order through webstore:GRIDSEED 115$(shipped) Worldwide, 37 USB Miners for 1200$

[karanveer]

Hi Karanveer:

I want to be certain of something with respect to your email:

Is this getting a) received by your first or b) shipped direct to my address?

If it is going straight to my address, it really needs to be marked as $60.00 or less and marked as a gift, as we pay 13% of the cost in import duties in Canada over this amount.

With an import duty of ~$500.00 on this as it is not originating on a NAFTA country, you might have a bunch of unhappy people in this group buy if you don't address this as they are expecting this to be a all-in cost including shipping.

Shipping by EMS reduces chance of tax.
And price quoted will be as less as possible.

Mine is on it's way, tracking shows it is in Canada now.  I'm expecting it this week, probably in a day or two.

Did you guys received your orders? i want to join the next group buy, just looking for feedback.

Update to my order:

Received a tracking number today.

[dyland]

where's tracking info?

[karanveer]

where's tracking info?

In two to three days.

[melmo]

Mine showed up today, no duty or tax, just a box at the door.

I wasn't expecting the relay kit, do I really need to use it?

Nope you don't have to use it.
Can you post pictures?

[melmo]

I haven't got them set up yet, I'm still compiling cgminer

[melmo]

I've got one hashing at 380 Kh/s at 900 MHz.  I'll get the rest running tonight.
 

[MaxGen]

Mine came in today as well.  No duty

Set it up in about 1 hour, however I trashed the controller and used my RPi with Scripta.  Works like a charm.

Currently running at 850, but I will try 900.  We don't need fans right?  I can remove them if I am only running Scrypt I think.  Cut down on noise and save energy.

Would you be willing to take me through the paces with a raspberry pi install?ps know where to get rasp Pi in toronto?

I have never worked with Pi or Linux that said--would be willing to tip...


Ps you know each miner has their own sweet spot for MHz? Worldlybedouin has written about it on the tech thread.

I just followed this guide: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=482352.msg5305449#msg5305449

step by step.  At step 6, I did the fix at the bottom of the same post.

At 900, I had 3 units that were throwing errors.  All miners are 0% errors at 850 though..

when you get your Pi, I'll walk you through it in PM. 

You can start by downloading the Scripta image in the post and W32DiskImager.
Use the diskimager program to write the scripta image to the SD card.

When I booted my Pi, I used an IP scanner to find what IP my DHCP server gave it and used my browser to connect.  http://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com

great
I guess u could remove the fans.
Never thought of it ever before but 
and the new GB has raspberry Pi controller not the gridseed one

Great
Happy mining times

I had to back mine off to 850 as well.  888 also had a lot of hw errors, so I'm going to try something like 865 and see how that goes.

If anyone removes the fans, please post if the hardware errors go up.  Right now each unit is drawing about 8 watts, hopefully the fan isn't really needed.

[melmo]

I removed the fans to reduce the noise and the amount of space required.   I'm also running everything off one power supply.

After running for several hours half have zero hardware errors, and the other half all have less than 10.  I'm running at 850 MHz and I just have the one case fan pointing at the two stacks.  Without the fan the heatsinks started to get pretty warm but with the single fan they are all cool now.

[MaxGen]

Removed all but 2 of my fans.  Think I'll get rid of one of the Power Supplies next and follow melmo's lead and remove all fans and have a larger fan pointing at the stacks.

How well does that configuration work with the single fan on top of each stack?  If you lift up the top 4 units and touch the bottom one, is it cool to the touch?

Stacking like this really saves a lot of space... I think I have room for 10 more, but I'm not sure if I have the cash for them

[MaxGen]

The top units are cool, and the bottom units are slightly warm to the touch. 

[dyland]

is there any info on removing the fans?

Also, Karanveer, am i shipping yet?
