So, I'm planning to expand my scrypt rig. And I mean scrypt, please don't tell me to build a x11 farm or something like that.
So, I have the funds, should I preorder The Fury, which runs at 1MH/s consuming 35W, or buy 2 Gridseed 5-chips, VMOD3 them, and have them run at 530kh/s each at 35W?
The Fury is available in June, while the gridseeds are in stock right now.
Any thoughts?

The fury is available on 9th June, and will arrive in 5 days. The gridseeds are available now, and will arrive in 5 days. So, what do you guys say? |

I'd go with The Fury for the higher density. It's difficult to manage all the USB and power connections on the Gridseeds.

I'm just going to buy 2 for now. gsupp, as you might know, The Fury isn't supported for leasing out on Leaserig. |

You need electricity, internet and the Fury itself. |

The fury uses its own controller called the zenminer..done via the cloud The ZenController, not the zenminer. It's just a Raspberry Pi with custom firmware. |

As far as I know, no there isn't. If you reflash the pi, your warranty is void too. Now, can someone give an actual opinion and answer my question? |

You could always connect it to a regular computer and skip the controller all together. That's what I do with the Gridseeds. |

I thought it was NiceHash that needed a newer version of sgminer that doesn't have Gridseed support patched in. |

If you're still wondering you should get the Fury unless you can pick up Grids for under $40.

The Fury comes with a ZenController, which is a Raspberry Pi with custom firmware. Until a cgminer that supports these devices is developed, it won't work, since the built-in thing does not allow API access. |

Looks like they're not including the ZenControllers with every Fury order anymore. If The Fury is just a rebranded Zeus miner, Zeus sent out the following links today: So at least on Windows, it seems it would be possible to lease out a Fury. |

It's a new thing made by GAW. I've asked their support if it will be possible to use a PC as a controller. I hope it's possible. What do you think? |
