Re: The Official LighteningAsic/GridSeed 5 Chip Setup Guide by UnicornHasher
Although I'm new to the forums, I've been following in the shadows for a long time.
At this point, I need some guidance though.
Does someone have a point of contact or easy method to contact gridseed directly regarding a large/bulk buy? I'm looking to get 200-300 units. (Also, if some folks want to jump in on the buy, and you want to escrow in some form or fashion through a senior member, I'm fine with letting you hop onto my order to get the pricing discount)
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Here you go.... www.gridseed.com - They did have an ChEngrish version website, but I see they are now in Chinese onry. I believe that gridchip.com is for engineers, employees and maybe dealers only....It's password protected.
Anyway....
Hashra.com recently made a deal with GridSeed 'from what I understand' to be their main and 'only' reseller to the rest of the world, or atleast this hemisphere. So, the person to contact at Hashra is Simon.
info@hashra.com
They were selling them in bulk for $160 each USD @ a minimum order of 200 units. That comes to around $32K which I don't have available unfortunately!
But, please do count me in on the group buy. I'm definitely interested in owning at least 80 GS5 pods.
There is a rumor someone is spreading that GS might come out with a larger form factor holding several times the number of chips. I think it's just wishful thinking on their part but I am not totally sure either way. Probably not worth mentioning but hey, it's a new market and anything can happen. Supply and demand rules this game, of course.
Let me know if you need my help.

Excellent. Thanks for the info. I just shot them an email so hopefully I hear something back soon. Do you know of a graduated discount scale they may have? I have a group of individuals that are interested beyond just me, and from my understanding 200 is the price point for $160 each. Do you know what the next number is for a further reduction?
Are there any senior members that would be interested in facilitating an escrow of some sort for people interested in a group buy? Although I'm going to purchase for myself I don't want folks thinking I'm some new guy trying to pull something. So, if it works out and people can take part of the discount I'll get then great..if not, no worries.
Thanks all!
No problem.
Like I said, HASHRA.com is the site/company that is between the manufacturers and us, now.
I am sure they are completely open to quantity purchases at a substantial discount under retail.
They may not deal with 'group' buys though. Not now anyway. I really don't know.
As I (dimly) recall, their mass quantities were 200 - 1000 - 10,000 - etc.and the price didn't go below $120 each or something like that. Don't quote me on it.
Let me know what you find out. This could get interesting
