-- EDIT:  After reading the CEO announcement and all my tickets being resolved within 48 hours I've decided to simply delete my post since I think they just got overwhelmed by the amount of sales. Leaving the comment wouldn't correctly describe my experience as they always try to resolve the problems.

@GAW - Love the new hosted update. It's great to have more than 2 pools now. I noticed that we lost the ability to re-arrange pool priority. Is this feature coming back?

You can do this already but manually afaik, by putting the pool nickname/alias at the top of the list.
At the same time, you use this method for setting a backup pool but you set it at the bottom of the list then Wink

Good update!

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?

Newegg has clearly stated expiration times on their promotions. They also sell items they actually have in stock and deliver >95% on time. Would you like to pick another example?

The shell shocker deals have expiration times, but not price drops. Why do you think deals get marked dead on Slickdeals? Most of those never have any indication of when the promotion will end. I do not see how this is the vendor's problem that you were not able to get in on a deal.

It's unfortunate that you are not getting a response though. In my personal experience, all 3 of my orders I had were delivered ahead of schedule and all my email inquiries were addressed with a 24 hour turnaround time, max.

That is true.

Newegg does email you out when the deals are available

That is not what matters, what matters is newegg picks up the phone when you call.

They also respond to emails.

There is NO Freedom without Privacy
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?
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
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.
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  Wink

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 Wink).

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.
I'm using almost the identical setup you are using  Grin
I was saying for two miners he could buy two 1A adapters, not just the one. But yes if getting more than two miners the cctv splitters are a much better option.

It has been multiple days since I placed an order.
No tracking number and the phone numbers listed are not answered by anyone.

watch out if you say anything negative the post will be removed

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.
