Mine is for the founders club reward program not the current one.

Only users with orders on or before April 1st should have received last week's Double Your Hash reward. The second week of Double Your Hash started today and will end in a week. So please await your payouts.

If you've contacted me about a missed payout for Week 1, please await my reply. We're currently looking into your account and eligibility to determine whether you're:

Hi, if I wrote through your website does this count as I've contacted you? (Order 1119 and 1439 <- Which was on or before april 1st)?

Just got my latest order, 2 more gridseeds.  They didn't come with power pigtails, but I figured I'd plug them in to my powered USB hub and see what happened.  cgminer-3-7-2-gridseed detected them automatically and they started hashing away.   cgminer detected them, but they show 0 WU after 10 minutes.  The green lights blink, but no red lights like on my working units. The fans aren't running, but I'm told that doesn't matter in scrypt only mode.

Do these no longer ship with power pigtails?  Is it official that it's safe to run them in scrypt only mode without the fans?

If you used the contact us form on the website you might want to try the support ticket instead. I had an issue a few weeks ago and the contact us form didn't seem to work, and I didn't know about or see the support tab. If you are on the home page of GAW on the left side of your screen there's a support tab, like the "reviews" tab that you see on the store section and you can fill out a support request. Seems to work better, but it's easy to overlook. If you used that, then ignore my post

They still need external power even with a powered usb hub. It will show up in cgminer but it's not hashing. Gaw sells power adaptors and cables. For just two miners you could get a couple of cheap 12V 1A adaptors from ebay like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/271442451746?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

You don't need the fans for scrypt only mode but there is no on off switch, you have to actually cut the wires to turn it off.

I wouldn't get those specific ones:  "Output: DC 12V, 1000mA. (Recommend the use of current is less than 1A, otherwise easily damaged)".

If say only 0.5A is safe on those, that's 6W.  Get a 12V adapter with at least 2-3 amps available I'd say.

My first two came with barrel jack pigtails which I spliced into a spare cable that came with my PSU. I assumed these would as well, but they did not.  Do GAW gridseeds no longer ship with power pigtails?

[cilution]

I wish I could use my blade with nicehash. They reject everything. I imagine because of:

Popular cgminer 3.7.2 is not supported due to the bug in the code. You have to use newer miner.

Use bfgminer and you can use nicehash.

I'm not an expert, but if the gridseed needs .5A then it doesn't matter if the PSU is 1,2 or 3 Amps, the gridseed will pull what is needed not more. With the fan on if I remember when I got my first gridseed it was just under 10 watts which is why I suggested the 1 amp. Again I could be wrong, but for a single gridseed I think 1000mA is enough. Gaw sells them (or used to) so safest bet would just to buy from them if in doubt

GAW no longer provides power connectors with gridseed pods, and it is correct that single pod needs no more than 10 watt when in scrypt only mode (typically 7-8W with fan, 6-7W without, with VMOD1 and disconnected fan it draws ~9W @ 950 MHz, 9W = 12V * 0.75A).  I run multiple gridseeds off brick style power supplies with splitters, 8 off 8A brick and 4 off 5A brick (should be able to do 6, it's just that I got bunch of 1 to 4 splitters) in either case brick is warm to the touch, not hot, and gridseeds are happy.

One amp PSU will NOT power two gridseeds (I tried ).

Search eBay/Amazon/meritline/dealextreme etc for 12V CCTV splitters (you need 2.1mm diameter barrel connector), eBay/meritline/dealxtreme route is cheaper than anything else.  There are 1 to 4 splitters available for around $3, and 1 to 8 for $5, oftentimes with free shipping and even for less if you are willing to wait for delivery from China.  Also on ebay I saw bundles ob brick PSUs and splitters.

Removed or not. I placed an order and there is no one to reply emails or return phone calls.

I am posting in hopes of anyone reading this to have a heads up before they charge $2,000 on their credit card and are not able to speak to someone or get the run around.

Some unreasonable demands in here...last time I checked, Newegg doesn't email you when a price special goes away. Why would they be required to notify you of an expiring deal?
