do the gridseeds need alot of babysitting? (running scrypt only at 850Mhz)
expecting my babies next week, YAY!

Sadly yes... unless you buy some reset power devices to cycle them regularly...

I have had mine lock up and require a USB reset (unplug the USB cable) several times in the week since I started with it. Its a firmware thing that needs to be addressed.

Lets be more specific.  If running from the controller there are a lot of reported issues of hung devices and required device/controller resets.  

I've been running mine for more than a week on linux with 0 intervention.  I'll be racking the devices I leased out in a different thread later this week and will likely not touch them or the computer controlling them for another 3 months.
