Any new updates?

Looking forward to seeing what is available and offering a review myself.. From the 5 chip Gridseeds, to the Gridseed blades and beyond I have been with dual mode/Scrypt ASICS from the beginning and can't wait to see how this one comes together..

Even the first Gridseed it had dual mining but nobody mined dual mode.
To many heat related problems that nobody care to solve.
I mined ONLY LTC with these miners until I sold them all
Hope this miner will have less problems and good pricing

You are right, I had a bunch myself but the dual mode was a poor implementation.. Hopefully they got it right this time around..

Now it's down to 2 watts per MH. I hope to assume they'd have 10 MH.

Gridseed dual mining orbs were a needed and welcome advancement in crypto mining. Looking forward to your next offering.

One of the reasons is that it makes the miner far more adaptable and gives the hardware a longer shelf-life.
I like the innovation of making a dual algorithm chip that is efficient. I'm excited to be able to support you.

I will be watching closely 
March 13, 2015, 08:28:07 AM
I will say I am curious. Waiting to see some rubber hit the road.
heh i will follow you and others lead on all this...way back in the pack....obviously I will have no clue (I got a knc titan for crying out loud)
so .....am gonna be way behind on this
(we also serve who slink in the back while others jump into the river full of alligators...)
my skills obviously do not turn to any skills in the proper choice of asic miner companies ..especially at 'inception'
anyway someone be brave/take a chance...so others on here can benefit!
( i suppose i could pull out the old 'I double dare' somebody to jump first...but naw)
again watching cablez's reaction to rubber on road and other clues before going anywhere near this ..ie everyone else 'you first'
tired of PSD version of ASIC miner purchasing drama (of course if they sent me a sample unit to play with i'd snap right out of this melancholia don't ya know!)
damn that did not work..maybe a beer will help...

Documentation? Sample chips?
March 13, 2015, 06:50:24 AM
Did anyone here see this written right on their main website page?
"An innovative hash rate rental platform."
Does it say they will be offering equipment to buy? I didn't see it.
I'm assuming this is ALL data-center cloud-mining, right?

They say that they plan to produce mining hardware: "We plan to produce mining products for both professionals and individuals."
Time will show...

Hi,
Test units or review units?
Also, were you guys connected with a certain Alex that sold Gridseeds? (I have a small pending refund which I never got.)
I'm assuming Alex is a reseller? PM me with some details and i'll see if we can help you.Test units or review units?

At the very least we can find out who not to deal with in future.

This is about the same time Spondoolies tech launched last year. Please follow in their footsteps and be just as good!
That would be a hard act to follow, but lets hope they are. Free us from this Chinese oppression so that we may make some sort of profits
Oppression?
Like BFL, Bitfury, Black Arrow (Non-chinese owned), Bitmine, KNC or Hashfast did so well to relieve our dependence on Chinese fabricators?
Right now all you got is Chinese or Israeli. Or really all you got is used products as nothing off the shelf available currently that you could trust.
It is a market place Avalon gouged, BFL gouged, ASICminer definitely gouged. Prices didn't drop until there was competition. I don't a slight up tick in price 20% as huge gouge compared to the past levels. Sfards is months out so it is USED equipment which is readily available as many many people are dumping their units to recoup / make tidy profits since they are probably almost break even on a lot of this hardware.
Mining is not the right move bottom line given the price of BTC at this time. Too risky given when price could bump up the mega farms will roll out more hash power and bury the little guys again.
That is indeed true, while the track record of Chinese companies is at least marginally better:
Bitmain
Avalon (... for a time)
Canaan Creative
ASICMiner (... for a time)
XBTech (although Russian time)
BitCrane
And a hell of a lot of smaller ones.

Bitmain and Spondoolies Hardware at this stage.

The SF3301 is the first of a new generation of dual-algorithm mining chips, the world’s first 28nm with the capability to mine SHA-256 and Scrypt simultaneously. The advantages of this ability translate to an extended period of effectiveness for the miner and increased profitability.
By using FDSOI technology not currently present in any other chip on the market, power efficiency when mining with SHA-256 is predicted to reach below the 0.3 J/GH range, and 2.0 J/MH when mining with Scrypt.
why do both types on mining in a single device? On a single chip at that? is it really practical to design two complex slgorithms in a single chip, instead of producing a sha256-miner and a scrypt-miner?
sorry - but a picture of a front desk doesnt do it for me, and I hope you dont go looking for a pre-order
At this point if they're taping out without customer funds I'd certainly hope they're not going to as there shouldn't be a need. Batches I'd totally understand as it also gives some redundancy to teething issues, but only once machines are actually tested and characterised.

You might want to take a closer look at their logo..
I get that they are Chinese, but I hope they treat us better. My wording did fail though
