I had talked with gridseed a couple of weeks ago and they are working on the 6 MH/s and 12 MH/s versions. They were wanting 6k or so for the 6 MH/s version and somewhere over 11K for the 12 MH/s version. But the lead time for each project was about 6 weeks as they would not start production until a certain amount were sold so I passed on the deal.
That's awesome! But.... you can buy 6MH/s of their USB miners for less than 6k, so I'm having a hard time seeing the appeal...

No one?
I'm looking into those Gridseed Dualminers. Any know of any hardware that uses those chips, but in something that doesn't require two dozen USB ports, and a funk power supply? If there was a product like an Avalon or Antminer that was a larger board with a few dozen of those chips, I would be all over that.
Gridseed Dualminer = 5 chips for 330kh/s.
AntMiner S1 has 64 chips (32 chips per board). If a similar device used those scrypt chips, each board would only pull 385W, which is twice what the Ant S1 pulls per board, and wouldn't be possible without a giant heatsink and some serious airflow. I'm going to assume we'll use the scrypt only mode.
A board with 32 chips would make 10.5mh @ 50W. With that low heat, you could put 4-5 of those boards all in one small chassis.
I know we're not talking about anything cheap here, and might cost some serious coin, but anyone know of anything similar to what I'm talking about?
