I have a 3 questions for the Gridseed miners. I just got my first 2 yesterday, and they are running pretty well.
I was hoping maybe someone else had some experience with this and could shed some light. I have searched these forums thin, but could not find a clear answers on the following.
1. Do you need to connect a PSU as a power source or can you just use a powered USB hub when mining scrypt only? It seems to run fine on USB power only, and since temperature when running scrypt only is not an issue, I plan on running them in a box with external fans taking care of all of them, instead of having that 1 noisy fan on each cooler profile. It would save some costs on not having to buy a PSU's and it would save some mess and work, having to only pull one cable to each of them, and not "build" a power cable for each one.
2. Does anyone have any experience mining on a P2node with Gridseed? I am running two miners here
https://www.profitminer.net/dashboard/anonymous/210 but the dead rate and hashrate seems to be jumping up and down allot, where as my GPU miners on the same pool (with more or less the same CGminer commands and the same ping to the pool) is running more stable.
3. Does anyone know of a place in Europe where they ship them from Europe or ship them without putting the cost of the units on the outside of the box? (or better yet, put a very low price on the outside of the box). The challenge is that Danish customs will jack the shipment and add a 25% fee. They then hold your package hostage until you pay them off. It's very frustrating. (25%... So if you order for 10.000$ USD you have to pay them off with 2.500 USD$ to get the stuff you already paid for)
