Just got my latest order, 2 more gridseeds. They didn't come with power pigtails, but I figured I'd plug them in to my powered USB hub and see what happened. ~~cgminer-3-7-2-gridseed detected them automatically and they started hashing away.~~ cgminer detected them, but they show 0 WU after 10 minutes. The green lights blink, but no red lights like on my working units. The fans aren't running, but I'm told that doesn't matter in scrypt only mode.

Do these no longer ship with power pigtails? Is it official that it's safe to run them in scrypt only mode without the fans?

They still need external power even with a powered usb hub. It will show up in cgminer but it's not hashing. Gaw sells power adaptors and cables. For just two miners you could get a couple of cheap 12V 1A adaptors from ebay like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/271442451746?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

You don't need the fans for scrypt only mode but there is no on off switch, you have to actually cut the wires to turn it off.

My first two came with barrel jack pigtails which I spliced into a spare cable that came with my PSU. I assumed these would as well, but they did not. Do GAW gridseeds no longer ship with power pigtails?
