[IN STOCK]] Gridseed Dual Asic Round 2 -- price updated

[studio1one]

As last time it will be 200 units exactly.

I had hoped to open today but two things stopped us

1. Resolving Gridseeds total Failure to send the controller boards we ordered

2. Updating shipping tables to work with our new setup.

Tomorrow We will order and pay for round 2 with Gridseed. This round will not be open until I have confirmed schedule and order with Gridseed and sent payment.

We expect items to ship out of China middle - late next week. The reasons being -- 2 days for international wire transfer -- 3 day lead time for Gridseed to ship to my agent, 1 day for them to arrive with my agent, then 1 day for him to organise and ship out.

Of course it is impossible to give exact timescales before the items are with my agent but this is around how it was last time.

I will update as I get confirmed info from Gridseed

See previous groupbuy thread here

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=468963.0


Things will work slightly different this time with several packages and different shipping options.

We have negotiated with our agent in China to ship orders of 10 or more, directly to you.

If you would prefer for customs reasons (ie you are in EU and it will be cheaper for you to have them shipped from UK) then please add, ship from UK as an addon on the product page(£20), then  at checkout select DHL Express (international from UK) or similar.

This means that we get a little to cover the import costs we will have to pay when goods arrive with us and also by choosing ships from UK.

Shipping the goods internationally directly to customers from China has allowed us to save time and money, which we can pass on.


Pricing will be as follows

20 Gridseed direct from China GBP 1700 free shipping

1 Gridseed GBP 100

1 Gridseed with all accessories GBP 110
10 Gridseed GBP 1000

10 Gridseed with all accessory GBP 1100

Plus shipping

I will update thread title as open and when order is confirmed by Gridseed and we have updated the shipping module to reflect the latest shipping options.

Nice price!

just out of interest, what accessories do you get with the single miner?

sorry to ask a dumb question, but what do you actually need? (do you need a controller for 1 or ?)

I'll be down for 2 complete sets of 10. Depending on the availability of stable raspberry controller distro I might skip out on the controllers

no problem at all my friend. Will you want shipping from UK of from China. Bear in mind we cannot do Intracommunity Transfers from China

not sure yet, still working on our new shipping tables from China.

From the UK. I'd rather have zero VAT for 20somethingGBP more than pay VAT in Cyprus and have to wait three years for them to refund the VAT (no joke).

[studio1one]

OK, this is now open.

You will notice an increase in shipping prices if you are ordering from UK.

The reason for this is to cover our costs for import duties and admin. The reason we have been able to drop our prices significantly is because of streamlining by shipping from China and the fact that if they never arrive to us we don't have the associated import costs. Shipping from UK means our costs increase.

The easiest way to cover these costs is by including it in the shipping cost, so we have added a handling fee. Prices still work out cheaper than our last group buy even with this added.

Ship dates have slipped a couple of days because I haven't been able to confirm up the order with Gridseed until today but now that's done and payment has been sent. Unfortunately it means that payment won't reach them until Monday now so we have been forced to move ship dates a few days.


Thanks to all who purchased in the last round and we look forwards to fulfilling this round.

[studio1one]

Oh also note.

As many people are using these without Controller Boards now, using the cheaper R Pi option and direct from PC, the controller board is no longer part of the full package and if you want one it needs to be purchased seperately.

[torchwood-uk]

Paypal not currently an option, should be back very soon though. We currently have a limited account due to a large spike in transactions after the last round. They wanted lots of paper work proof of delivery etc, which has been provided. Until they have removed our limitations we cannot offer it.

One more question... If I want shipping from UK to Greece I have to choose Royal Mail for shipping method ?

Yes for 2 miners Royal Mail is the most cost effective way of sending.

[vanycon]

something strange happend:
I want to order 2 miner(+acc.) and 1 controller but entering the Step 4: Delivery Method says, that I only have a choice between local pickup OR china nothing like DHL, royal mail (big problem for me as a German)

I want to pay with bitcoins, can you please tell me which conversion rate/marketplace do you use?

ah, ok. You probably just went over our weight limit for post. I will adjust it so you can order Royal Mail delivery.

We use coinbase. When you get to checkout you need to choose Coinbase and it will take you to Coinbase and give you the amount to pay and the address

I'll definitely opt for China shipping, but there seems to be something wrong. I am in India. Still the Royal Mail shipping is 16 pounds and shipping from China is 26 pounds. Shouldn't it be other way round?

I am guessing you are ordering a low weight. At low weights it works out cheaper like that because post is cheaper than DHL and DHL is a lot cheaper in large bulk. So it actually ends up cheaper for us to get large bulk sent to us then post to you via Royal mail. It's a bit unusual but it would add a lot of time onto your receipt to do it that way.

Correct. It would be quicker and cheaper to get it sent direct from China but you are welcome to order from UK. The reason teh shipping is so expensive from UK is that we add in the import duties and costs, plus the cost of shipping to us first, into the cost of the shipping.

Hey studio1one,
Whenever you guys bring back PayPal, please update us. I'd really like to order, but the payment preference is PayPal.

Hey studio1one,
Whenever you guys bring back PayPal, please update us. I'd really like to order, but the payment preference is PayPal.

Its not going to be in any hurry. They have offered us the ability to accept payments for bitcoin hardware again but because they consider it high risk they want to hold 25% of all money for 45 days.

By the way, the miner with accessories, the one thing it doesn't come with is a mains cable for the power pack, as we have customers all over the world we can't stock all the different ones, so you will need to supply that. It is a standard kettle lead, same as on a laptop power supply or computer PSU

what is the amount in btc for each unit?

what is the amount in btc for each unit?

We work on Coinbase exchange rate. Price always changes. To get a price you need to put everything in your basket, go to checkout then select coinbase option and confirm order.

It will take you to the coinbase payment page and confirm exact amounts. You can then choose to send coins and buy or not order.

Do you know how many gridseeds we can safely hook up on 1 powersupply.
I suppose it makes a big difference if I use them in scrypt-only, which I plan to do.

If everything runs smooth, I plan on expanding rapidly
I was thinking 26 gridseeds on 2 13port USB hubs connected to one RasPI

If that would be possible on those 2 powersupplies, that would be great

each power supply can power 6 miners.

scrypt only or dual mode doesn't make a difference?

[studio1one]

scrypt only or dual mode doesn't make a difference?

Honestly, I'm not certain. the quoted spec per miner is 12V 5A but it may well be able to run a lot more in Scrypt only mode because it's only pulling around 8W at 12V which calculates at only 0.7A. If so in theory you could run 40 from one switching power supply.

You don't need the fan at all for scrypt only.

I have a few questions:

If you have a lot then it gets NOISY.... I have 2 and on one the fan made a lot of noise, i cutted it out and inserted a new 80mm fan. Now it is silent and works great.

As someone already said, if it is for scrypt only you don't need then fan and it gets only warm to the touch... for SHA you have to have the fan..

As someone already said, if it is for scrypt only you don't need then fan and it gets only warm to the touch... for SHA you have to have the fan..

regards,

P.

interesting. I'm only using scrypt so maybe I'll try dropping the fan off.

If you are not certain that you want to use scrypt for the rest of your life then add a micro-switch to the cables and you can turn the fan on and off...

The fan in the gridseed only connects across the 12V supply so just unsolder or cut off close to the board. Should you want to refit the fan later you can just connect it to 12V (or 5V for a slower fan), no need to connect it internally again.

Your front page of this thread says 10 units for £1300 but I cant seem to get that rate on the website, only £1400 and that comes up as out of stock. Will it be changed soon?

stock now all sold apart from a few.

How many is a few? I would like to order some more.

Out of stock for now, doing a stock reconcile today against orders, we last did it on Wednesday and sometimes the cart software can go a little screwy so we don't want to oversell. I think we still have around 8 left but will update when we have reconciled.

Also we have some bank transfer orders pending payment from last week that I think people aren't going to confirm so some more stock may become available from there. Going to email everyone who ordered bank transfer more than 5 working days ago and we haven't received funds today

Will be paying for round 3 today and will open on Monday when delivery schedule is confirmed.

Hi I'm interested to buy 3 or 4 units. In this case:

1) Can I order 3 (or 4) "Gridseed Dual ASIC with accessories" (each one with its power supply) or it's better if  I order  one 12V 30A switching DC power supply in place of the 3/4 single 60w ps?

2)The control board is not necessary if I connect directly the usb hub to my pc. Correct?

Thanks

Hi,

this round is now sold out.

[crackfoo]

anyone have any problems with the miner not hashing any shares. It did for a few days but now, just shows new blocks. No change to my bat file and I've tried all the miner software (cpuminer/cgminer/bfgminer). They all produce no shares, but also, no errors...

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks!

Looking at the tracking, you'll receive the gridseeds Wednesday. Does this mean we should expect our deliveries on Friday?

[SVK]

I will even pray to get it on Friday (UK) - all weekend to play with it

[TookDk]

Hi studio1one

Have you planned the next batch yet?

[vanycon]

you should edit this thread to [processing] or [NO STOCK] (:

[studio1one]

Actually we now have 15 available. We will be shipping to customers today / tomorrow and passing on tracking.

Round 3 starting Friday

Status - pending. Would really love to get the miner before the weekend

Status - pending. Would really love to get the miner before the weekend 

He will receive the packages today according to the track and trace.

[studio1one]

Everyone will get their tracking later today. Just a quick note, Gridseed sent them bulk packed, not in individual boxes, as you can see from the below photo.

This is why when you receive they will not be in Gridseed boxes.

I have no idea why they sent them like this this time.

[SVK]

I feel with you and wouldn't want to be packing them
I guess cost - no boxes and no need to pack them individually saves time and money but should increase efficiency.

If it is not marked shipped yet that is because we haven't got through the pile of paper to your order to change status. I assure you though your order has shipped.

I have checked  My Account and it states "pending" so most likely you didn't get to my name yet No surprise, my payslip is always at the end so I'm used to that

1 x mini USB to USB cable

1 x Power pack

I'm trying to power it with my active-usb-power-supply (around 60W), but the controller won't hash -  I filled BTC AND LTC ( I only need to hash LTC) but it is doing nothing

Windows seems fine (http://cryptomining-blog.com/1461-updated-cgminer-3-7-2-for-windows-scrypt-mining-on-gridseed-5-chip-gc3355-asics/)

but the same setup using the controller doesn't start hashing (I also tried to follow this guide https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=482352.0 but I cant find any upgrade firmware button)

will now test it on my raspberry
