Beastlymac -- Yeah 30 days doesn't give me a lot of confidence. With my luck all 10 of the units would crap out on day 31. Tongue

Not meant to be negative towards the product manufacture, but more so a reflection of my actual luck with mining parts.

Mattzees -- Yep, following that thread as well as this one. Yeah as much as I would love to get in on this, the more and more I reflect on it, the more I think its better to wait till mid/late Feb to see what happens then. Gridseed may have something new out...that and (fingers crossed) there's also projects out there by Fibbonacci and Flower which in theory will kick-off Q2 which could be comparable...Ultimately my goal is to identify a strategy I feel comfortable with so I come May time frame I'll be off my hot GPU rig and onto ASIC/FPGA solutions instead for the same 3MH.

Why not pick up some shares of FAS...
I'll take care of the heat and broken GPU's for you...

I think it would be something to consider as part of a diversified approach to cryptos....at this time, I'm tapped out of coinage...so perhaps in the future, I've got it bookmarked!

Also, I think part of the fun of cryptos is the actual mining. Setting up my GPU-based rig, getting it stable, optimized, etc. was truckloads of fun and a great way to learn...so I'm not just in this entirely to make $$$$$ but also participate in the community as well....

Hello, i am from china mainland and knew something about gridchip.

I saw a lot of people bought the dualminer from the lightingasic.com, but I checked the official website and was unable to get that website in the approved seller list.

see this link (http://bbs.diginforce.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=18&extra=page%3D1) about the introduction of gridseed an the only legal seller. Please take care of that website (it seems that they rebrand gripchip set as lm6a/lm10a).

--------------------------------------------------------------

Here the legal distributor/reseller approved by gridchip:

Since someone mentioned Jack Liam AKA asianbtc AKA lightningasic, I'll post my convo with him as it seems the price fluctuates quite a bit.

Jack:" i have USB cell. 300KHS, LA3M, 3MHS, LA6M 6MHS scrypt."
Price is "LA6M, usd5100+usd300 for express" <-----------------------------------------------------which means 6mh/s of gridseed units

This next quoted thing doesn't make much sense as it says "4 PCS", which could mean 4 of the LA3M............ each being 3MH/s of gridseeds.
Jack: "4 PCS LA3M. usd2750 including dhl express"

From my understand LA3M=10 gridseed units in a "cell" and LA6M is 20 gridseeds in a cell. He says all power supplies, cables, etc. are included.

I think the last quote is either in error or is a dam good deal. 4x LA3M cells, 40 gridseeds in total, for 2750usd($68.75 for each 5 chip gridseed)..........but 1x LA6M which is 20 gridseeds would be $5100........so something ain't right.

I have a friend in China that can get them for me, so I didn't ask Jack to clarify on the LA3M thing. I just let it drop since $5100 for an LA6M is far higher than advertised anywhere else, making Jack a bit shady to me. Well at least extremely greedy, if not outright shady.

Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just passing on info I have

Yes I have spoke with him as well and this is the price. ~~Yes it doesnt make any sense and i tried to explain that to him but he said they sell so he doesnt care.~~

Edit after redoing some numbers it actully does make sense.

the la6m is 5100 + 300 for shipping = 5400
2 la3m is 2600x2 + 150x2 for shipping = 5500

Hey Star,

Did you end up ordering from him? I know of one person who has ordered from him so far with no issues. (He has quote me 2750 all in for LA3M--worth it??)

FYI, I paid 3.44BTC which was $2750USD about 2 weeks ago. Haven't got them yet, but assuming they work as advertised I think it will be worth it.

Yellow is 12 volt,red is 5 volt & black is ground:

What is the easiest method of powering the 5-chip model?

You should check out this post by TheMage on Litecointalk where he briefly described how to splice a molex connector onto the device so it can connect to a PSU. https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=13314.msg111293#msg111293

Does it run on 5 volt or 12 volts ?
If you have a old PC power supply laying around you could probably us it for power.

The chip has 3 address lines for chip ID.
I wonder if that would limit designs to 8 chips per serial port.

I want to see a miner built using more than 5 chips per board. 64 chips would be nice.
