Good afternoon all,

So after reading about how people are only getting 400 h/s to low mh/s using GPUs.
I am thinking about getting GridSeed Orb boards manufactured. If I can find a manufacturer to make them of course.
I figure if I could get these boards manufactured and then put into a blade configuration inside a case, these would hash great at a lower total power cost and initial cost for entry level scrypt miners.

Thoughts???

Waste of time.

The GC3355 used in the Orb is very very outdated on the SHA256 side - it was UNPROFITABLE even during the last few months the Orb was being MADE, which is why Gridseed shifted to making the "blade" and "GBlade" models that were Scrypt specific.

The SCRYPT side is no longer profitable unless you have FREE electric.

It took a "blade" 40 chips to ALMOST MATCH the performance of the Futurebit Moonlander II (which uses a SINGLE chip, I believe the same chip the Innosilicon A4 uses but the maker has never confirmed or denied that), and the power usage was ballpark 10 TIMES higher than what the Moonlander II uses.

The algorithms folks are seeing 400 hash/sec out of on GPUs are NOT SCRYPT.
Scrypt hashrates would be more like 1-2 MEGAhahsh out of most recent mid-to-high-end GPUs, and a few of the top end ones should be in the 3-4 Mhash/sec ballpark.
