I am a little over 100 watts total on 10 (not 1)
According to this review, the 5-chip Gridseed Miner pulls almost 60W mining Litecoin and only does around 350KH/s...

Is there something I am missing?  Why are people spending $300 on this ASIC, when a ($110-150) Radeon 7850 has equivalent specs and about the same hashrate (ie 350-380 KH/s)??

325 kh/s at 10W is way better to host for heat and power than 250Kh/s @ 10-20x the power and heat.

Just because you changed your joke to a somewhat real hosting share program, don't start lying about stats.

Gridseed is doing 300 khs at 50-60 watts these days. They claimed 10 watts, but none of the reviews show that low power use.

Even a $200 ($230 now) R9-270 will do 450khs at 150 watts. Hardly 10-20x the power.

No. You are wrong.

LOL.

I accept.  I am wrong.  I bow to your powers oh supreme one Smiley

Not directed at you.....

Ah so we are in agreement that 6-10W per device is possible?

This is the article I read about them, I see that some firmware or software has been updated now.
http://cryptomining-blog.com/1158-first-impressions-from-the-gridseed-5-chip-scrypt-asic/

Still, power is cheap, and the gridseed stuff is overpriced. It would take a long time to make up the difference in power usage vs initial cost.

Here is a link that shows you how to run in scrypt only mode which is what many are doing to achieve lower power consumption of 8watts per unit. If you run in dual mode or sha256 mode you will use the 60watts.
As shown here you do not need a controller, can simply hook the unit up to an existing PC. Power may be cheap depending on where you live, it is a wide range really.  For me power cost doubles in the summer months where I would not want to run a GPU farm as it eats into more profits trying to power it and keep it cool versus a device like this. Speaking from experience, sold the GPU farm to run year round with devices like this.

So what you meant to say is if you buy 10 and have the correct controller setup, you can get it to run in low power mode. Where can you do that if you only run one? 

I really don't give a shit about it, and don't want to waste time arguing with you since you are just trying to sell something.

Who is this directed at?

If you have one you follow the instructions in the guide, any recent guide, it will run at 6-10 watts.

Ok then.

All of my photos and readings for power are in the thread.  You sir are lying.

at 300-350Khs per device on the controller, on windows and on linux I have verified by several users 6-10Watts per device.

Show me a review that shows more power for single scrypt mode?

You can buy Gridseed at cost from buyers group.

I have Gridseed miners in my possession let me know if anyone is interested. My partner lives in China by the factory. I have been importing and exporting for 14 years now.  I am located in the Ann Arbor Michigan area we have daily flights to and from China for all products.

Anyone setup a LA3M system using the Version B Control Board (the red one)?  I think mine was dead on arrival but in case for some reason I just don't understand plugging things in I wanted to see if I wasn't the only one with a dead unit.  Plug in on the separate 5V connector, Ethernet, MicroSD in, etc. no lights or any signs of coming online.  I don't know what they would use for the JTAG connector so I cannot bring it up with my Xilinx USB Adapter to see if it can boot that way.

So far on these the best price I have seen on the gridseed is Zoomhash.com at least in the us. I have ordered one to see how they work  and test them out. Theres a site in China and I believe it is the distributer selling them for 150 USD but you have to order a large amount 50+ I think was the number.
