I'd be interested to play with those, I never had any usb asics before.

What's the noise on these psu? is it possible to have them in your room?

Also do you put them all on a hub and then on a raspi? does the hub have to be powered?

Last, how much would it be to ship those to France (zip 22000)

Cheers!

EDIT : just saw the answers to most of my questions, but you're saying you never used the conroller, how did you control them?

If you don't dual mine them (script and SHA256 at the same time) you don't need the fans, so the Gridseeds themselves can be silent. The PSUs have small fans. I think that one of them might be noisy, but it's hard to tell because I'm running these in a data center that's already very noisy.

They're powered by the 12 volt power supplies. You can use any USB 2 hub (even unpowered), but I'm offering my ORICO powered hubs.

Currently I'm using a RPi and Minera to control these, but I want to keep the RPi. As mentioned, I don't know anything about the other controller, so it's as-is. It was sent to me by accident and the sender didn't want it back.

I think I would recommend that you get an RPi and Minera, like I'm using.

As far as shipping to France is concerned, I have no idea what it would be. I can do some weighing today and come up with an estimate.

I had some of the very first ones of these to hit the US back when they first came out.  I can remember paying $200 each, and that was only because I bought 150 of them lol.  For a short time they cranked out the highest income of any ASICs I've ever had, back when LTC was $30-40 and diff was 10k or so.

Good memories Smiley

I didn't think these ever got ROI because right when they came out BTC started to crash and the difficulty skyrocketed.

It's your lucky day because I'm selling my Gridseed mini (5 chip) micro farm! Own a piece of history!

The sale includes:

  • 13 x Gridseed 5 chip mini's
  • 3 x 12 volt power supplies
  • 2 x ORICO P10-U2 10 port USB hubs
  • All the USB and 12 volt connectors for each unit
  • A controller that I never used (I have no idea if it works or not)
  • A whole mess of brass stand offs (not sure how many)

Here's some pictures:




All the Gridseeds work. I've only mined Scrypt with them, never SHA256.

All the equipment has been pampered in a dust free, air conditioned data center environment.

I removed some of the fans in order to work the units into the physical configuration I was after. I'll give you all the fans, but it's up to you if you want to reattach them. You don't need them if you're mining scrypt.

One of the units has a bad hashing LED that won't light, but it's always submitted shares nonetheless.

Edit: Two of the PSUs have bad fans. I didn't notice because these were running in a data center. Lack of fans doesn't seem to matter, at least when running in a cold environment. The PSUs with bad fans are not even warm to the touch. If you care about this, replacement fans can be found online for a few dollars.

Buyer pays shipping. I prefer US sales.

Escrow with OgNasty or philipma1957 is fine by me, buyer pays the fee.

Looking for $250. Make me an offer.
