Toledo, prob about 3-4 ish. I'm picking up 100 gridseeds. I'll pm you my info...

For group buys, or just for yourself?  I've been debating about getting one or two of them, just to play with.
Did we ever get confirmation if this batch is the U2, or the U2+?

So,

I don't believe U2+ is real unless there is a new code release to BFGminer (i'm on 3.1) and they changed something in firmware to report different clock speed.  I plugged a dozen in right beside U1's on a 49 port USB board, the PCB boards look identical (but of course a bigger/better heat sync), and the U2's went right to 1.6GH.

I then did the "bfgminer.exe -S antminer:all --set-device antminer:clock=x0981" and they all work at 2Gh just fine.

I did buy the Gridseeds for myself to understand/use/and figured to sell off 20 or 30.  I bought ~3 weeks ago in a larger group buy, at the higher price before they dropped their prices (thats the way the ball bounces sometimes).  They actually only build GridSeed units 'after payment' and not sitting on shelf ready to ship when you pay, then going via courier out of china to reship, then to pay import shipping fee's took FOREVER.  Happy to have them, setting them up today as my power cords came in 5 minutes ago!  Thanks MrBobC!!!!

BFGMiners' Nwools is working on that as far as I know.  I wanted to, but I can't go buy myself a gridseed 5 chip at the moment...got a wedding to pay for.  I would like to know how much you'd sell one of those off for though, just in case...

From my understanding after having read through other groupbuys & posts on this forum:
the U2+ is pre overclocked at 2Ghs by default, hardware is identical to the U2. I assume older batches (such as the ones for this preorder) are the original U2 and newer orders come "updated" as U2+.
It's a bit confusing when Bitmain themselves label them as U2+ on their website

Only thing changed is the heatsink, they finally ran out of the "better" original asicminer .333 blockerupter H/S that they made billions of.
Antminer just reprinted them.

The original design was better in one respect, smaller more room in hubs to stack em, they did not overheat.

I believe the U2 is simply WoW factor but foolish.

I never saw anything concrete on that.  Are they actually too close to stack in a USB hub or not?

thank you for the quick shipping once you got them in

my guess is that it depends on the hub and from the pics im going to say if not touching they will be very close to one another but all that is just a guess some hubs are at a slant i would guess you could fit more on them?

Got mine a few days ago.  I gotta say, I'm impressed by these little guys.  They're pushing out 2.4Ghash/sec with 0% HW.

Nope, but if I was, I'd use two clients, one with a proxy, one to point to it.
