Topic: [SOLD OUT][Worldwide] Gridseed 1 chip + 5 chip Dual miners 0.105/0.405 btc - page 11. (Read 60184 times)

Hope i can figure it out, lol.

Received my unit today, and it has been happily hashing for the past 6 hours 
Setup/install took less than 5 minutes, and performs as expected.

Based on shares submitted, the avg performance over last 2 hours was approx. 450kh/s, running at 800MHz

Beastlymac,

I have sent PMs on the 19th and 22nd. I have not received a response.  Would you please follow up on this and let me know the current status?

I also bought directly from Jack on February 8th, but did not receive them yet. I asked for a shipping date several times but did not receive a reply at all the last time. At the moment I would be careful on ordering more units although I was planning to do so, that first one was only a test order...

and us under 10?

OK thanks

Yes Jack has told me some will ship in the next few days and that includes your order. They should be valued at sub $500 via dhl express.

But they have to get shipped soon! better NOW!

and what value will a pack of 10 be declared?

I am sorry orders that have been submitted to asiabtc can not be refunded.

Is it possible to pay extra for my smaller order (5) and get the supplier to drop ship? Every day they're not here I'm missing out. Thanks.

You jump into conclusions very fast. One chip draws about 1.5W, the 5 chip unit draws 7W total (in scrypt mode). The miner software you are using probably activated sha256 which draws the extra power. So you probably configured something wrong.

Since you havnt shipped my order yet, is it possible to get a refund?

Any more <10 orders arrived? It's now been nearly 2 weeks since your original estimated ship date.

All orders crossed out on the list where shipped about a week and a half ago. The orders 10+ have been given to asiabtc to ship.

you only bought 1 and lucky to have one actually. BestlyMac/asiabtc is holding up on the big orders ( 10+ units ). Any ETA from AsiaBTC for 10+ orders yet OP?

mine was shipped on the 15th and arrived the 24th.

Shouldn't I have received my unit by now?  I bought some from the manufacturer a week after I paid on this group buy and I received my miners from him last week...

 good info Mine came today I will try to set it up.     

 on the power supply I have a 12 watt supply with a positive center 6  amps = 72 watts max load .  Correct???

and what is the link to setup?

I was wrong. No controller needed, just that 3 units max. restriction as stated by Beastlymac. I haven't tried more than 3 units myself as I had only ordered one to "play with".

Thanks for your help. I found the problem. The mini-USB end of the USB cable that was supplied with my unit was just slightly too big to properly fit into the hole through the heatsink. Because it was the "original" cable that was supplied with it, I naively thought that just pushing it firmly into the hole was going to work, even though it skewed the connector a bit. But actually, it didn't. I highly suspect that weak/bad contacts made the data lines too noisy for working Tx/Rx.

When I had tested with another cable with a smaller mini-B connector, I wasn't using the ATX hi-power supply but a lower grade one, because I thought that 7 watts was the rated power for the whole device, and not for a single chip (see OP). The actual power draw at wall is indeed close to 5x7 = 35W. I suppose that the solid red LED had that meaning (something like "I got underpowered, so I stopped working").

So I'm sorry for having raised unnecessary concerns here, it seems that all is well after all.

The lessons to be learned IMHO:

• If you get a mini-USB connector that doesn't quite fit into the hole of the heatsink, use another cable with a slimmer connector, and don't try to force it into the hole like I did
• Do not underestimate the power requirements like I did. OP mentions 7W as power spec for scrypt-only mode 5 chip unit, but it is actually 7W per chip, i.e. 35W

And for those who wonder, during normal operation, status of the LEDs is the following for my unit:

• Green LED blinking at regular 1 second interval
• Red LED turning on/off at slower, irregular intervals, typically between 3-5 sec

At 600 MHz frequency, measured 10-min avg hashrate on pool side is around 300 khs as expected.

So, I'm sorry for having raised unnecessary concerns here, it seems that all is well after all.
