Board Pools (Altcoins)

Anyone have issues with GridSeeds and using CM? I notice my HW error rate jumps up 10-15% when using this pool.

It's bad for me too
My 10GS's report 3.6Mh/s on average; reject: 1.67% HW error: 0.06% in scripta
But on CM: 3.0Mh/s 24h average; now even as low as 2.8

...

Any ideas on how to improve this?

Not to be a troll...but after reading extensively on getting a gridseed setup...ROI looks to be 6-8 months...well after the high powered ASICs arrive.  Is buying gridseeds really worth it?

Yeah, I fear this too.
I have 6 GPU's and 10 Gridseeds happily hashing , but I fear they'll never reach ROI.
Furthermore, with all those big companies producing ASICs (scrypt and SHA256), I'm sure they all do "quality control" for a fair amount of time
=> difficulty goes up even before you have your miner
=> large amounts of BTC are being sold making the rate drop.

...

So yeah, I still believe in the concept of BTC, but in the long run, and not as a small miner. I'd just buy some coins with some money you don't really need and wait (a long time)

didn't expect I'd have to wire the barrelplugs?!?!

outside (sleeve) barrelplug = -V = black or white wire
inside barrelplug = +V = red wire

is that correct?

do you have to solder those connections + shrinkplastic ?

correct.

No need to solder, just a twist up to attach and reattach the plastic sleeve. thats how we've got them anyway

did you use the wire included in te packge?
It's so big I can't get it through the tiny holes in the barrelplugs.

my order is still "at depot"
no delivery scheduled (Belgium)
Anyone else still having to wait?

Another question, did anyone have to pay extra taxes when they were delivered directly from China?

Finally got my 12v stepdown to run the Controller/Raspi off the 12v supply.  (Testing on the controller since it's trash, I'll move it to the raspi after 24 hours)

is it stable? (i mean for power)
I suppose it's not enough amps to power the USB hub as wel?

I'm very interested in 16pieces
However, I'm a bit worried about the deliverydate.

Do you have experience in international trading, customs, ,taxes,  etc?
Would you consider escrow?

bobby35ny is running 10 gridseeds with the fans removed in these cases as pictured.  *this case won't fit a standard atx PSU.

I run my 10 in a rosewill 4U. 

The little black box on top of the gridseeds connecting all the white cables on the left and all the red on the right, that's what I need.
Can anyone post a link to that?
Muchos gracias

how can you check polarity of a cable with a multimeter?

check for resistance in the wire and connector.  Hold one probe on the sleeve of the connector (I assume you are talking about DC plugs) and then touch the other probe to the ends of the cables.  The one that registers resistance is your ground or (-) wire.

So the outside of the plug should be connected to the white cable, which in turn should be connected to the -V of the powersupply

so normally putting one probe on the outside (sleeve of the connector) and the other at the end of the white cable gives me a reading on resistance
putting one probe on the inside of the connector and the other at the end of the white cable gives no reading
?

can anyone tell me what I could use to connect 8 Gridseeds to 1 connection of the powersupply
it's the questionmark on the diagram

does it matter that the load is not spread completely even? 9 gridseeds / 9 gridseeds / 8 gridseeds ?

Also: if any stupidity is found in that diagram, please let me know  Undecided

thanks

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 Wink

Excellent. Well, again, I'm not calling it a "group buy" if you will. I'm already prepared to buy approx 300 or so myself (at $160 each). Was just hoping to get an extra break if possible.

I'll let you know what I hear back then.

+40 for me...see if you can get the price down to $120 each  Grin

Don't need anything except for the miners themselves. Lets keep this simple and not deal with getting people power supplies, cables or any accessories.

Edit: I keep forgetting that the company I work for opened up a division in China a few years ago. We have frequent video conference calls and have already inquired if they could be a resource for sourcing product. If necessary we could have them deal directly with Gridseed on our behalf. They, of course, would require compensation for their time.

Same here possibly +60 for me at $160... more if together we can get a lower price for larger qty. Got $10K that could go to this possibly.

I'm in for another 30 or 40


16 for me, maybe mor depending on how shipping will be arranged to EU,
I don't want to be sponsoring customs Wink
