I am completely confused Huh

(did not take much I know Roll Eyes

)

gridseed.com shows the unit at 60KHs, the youtube video after a few min show's it peek at 41KHs, but the Gridseed GC3355 5 chip shows a 300KHs in LTC, Can someone brake this down for me please? What is 0.39BTC actually paying for?

Also, Is this a LTC only or any scrypt coin? I would do a few units if it works on other coins too.

I have just received feedback from Gridseed.com , the numbers :

Quote

Brand：Gridseed
Chips：Gridseed GC3355. Each unit has 5 chips.
Mining Capability(Official Number)：BTC Mode:10G, LTC Mode:300K
Power Consumption：Dual Mode or BTC Mode: Approximate 100W/Unit,
LTC Mode:20-25W/Unit
Price: To be announced.
Payment: We accept RMB or USD,
Shipment against Payment.
Shipping: We only ship to Mainland China address; oversea buyers need to find international carriers themselves.

Minimum order is 100 pc, it took 2 full months for them to answer my email ...
Guess the most tricky part is dealing with customs, also they don't accept BTC/LTC as payment, funny they are selling mining equipment.
Also the power figures are not that impressive.

10 units for me, please update when available.

What do we need to fix so we can get the mup and running as soon as they arrive?

I mean what equipment is required to run them (psu, cables, etc?)

I see posts about new firmware for 5 chip. Hashing at 500Kh/s. Does this apply for these units too? Huh

Can you link here the source of this ?
Thanks.

Source no, but check this post:

Is a standard PC PSU ok for it (like Corsair 750W) ?

You'll have to make cables for your PSU with the appropriate DC connectors, but yes, you can use any 12V source then. Just keep in mind if you use a PC PSU it has to get feedback from the 12V rail(s) to control the output voltages, otherwise you won't be able to load it 12V only. I think most of the recent ones will be fine, it never hurts however to look after a review first

The "controller" itself is a small embedded pc like a raspberry pi or a routerboard. You can use any number of units either on a normal pc or anything else you can compile the modified miner software for.

And what about recommended power source for these miners?

its a little vague how to connect them, do you need a controller unit just for one?

P.S. 1 unit to the netherlands Grin

I see many people posting "one for me", "I'll take two" etc. but I assume there is no reservation queue until this GB is officially open, right?

PS. Two for me please Wink

Are power adapter's included? I heared they are not. Only a loose cable which you have to connect yourself. Am I right?
