So ... I went ASIC last night
-
Hey man , did you get the gridseed blade ?
I almost pulled the trigger on one, but since I’m new to ASIC I wanted to try something smaller first and went with The Fury.
Also, I noticed if I purchase 4 x Fury @ $125 ea. I get 5200KH/s for $500 vs 1 Blade @ $699 for 5200KH/s.
So I’m going to try one out, then purchase three more if all goes well with the vendor. They’re throwing in a free ZenController as well, so that’s nice.

Congratulation!
I am big ASIC fan, it is just PCB with circuits, just like GPU :)
But better.
-
What I like about the grid seed miners are that you can hook them up to a lap top and mine away.
-
How did you get the free ZenController, I don’t see that offer anywhere?
I paid $130 for my 5 chip 350kHash gridseed just a couple of weeks ago.
Very tempted to spend the same again to get 4 times the hash power.
What I do like about the gridseed 5 chip is in script mode you can remove the fan safely and with it hooked to a Raspberry PI your total power consumption is only 9 watts

How did you get the free ZenController
GAWMiners owner gave big rebates on recent purchases and on Fury purchase he threw in a free controller. Others received straight cash homie, up to $450 I believe. It was due to profitability dropping and he wanted to share the load. Nice guy.

I have the 44MHash/s Zuesminer Thunder from batch 1 sitting in customs a mere 10 km from where I live… just waiting for them to release it…
I also have the 22MHash/s Thunder x2 coming in July.
I would like to see a ftc multipool developed.An “ethical” Multipool…
It pays out in ftc and mines the most profitable coin like any other profit switching multipool.
Thing is, I would like to see it have a diff increase limit of about +15%.
This means, that once the coins diff has exceeded a >+15% change, it will move onto to the second most profitable coin.
Once the coins diff goes back within say 5% of the original diff, that coin then goes back into the list of eligible coins.The pool will collect say a 1% fee in the form of ftc which goes into a bounty pool for various projects.
Maybe even the option to be paid out in any of the coins mineable in the pool.The idea is, once we change algo’s, those with ASIC’s can still “mine” ftc… Plus we will add to our 24 hour volume and if we use say cryptsy maybe we can at least try counteract btc-e…

Thanks,
That was the website I was looking at, offer must be over now.
Pay day this Friday, so might snag myself one then.

I’m not sure if the offer is mentioned on site, it was emailed to all customers just the other day. You may want to email them up front and ask what offers they have to be sure you get the “rebate” prior to purchase. Thanks for using the link! It should give you $20 off as well.

You had to go and whoop your big rig out and make me feel lesser than, lulz. =b
I hope to step up to the big leagues one day!

Sorry Tuck :(
I never thought I would buy an ASIC… It was bounced back to Hong Kong, but the next day it was already back in Cairns… They cleared it this time so I might have it up and running in the next 48 - 72 hours.
If it makes you feel any better I’ll be feeding a lot of the mined coins I get, back into the community for projects and bounties etc.

Price went up by another $10 today, fair enough he is rewarding those that paid early.
Just purchased two of them before the price goes up to full, hopefully you will get the referral for them.

Yeah I just noticed that too. That sucks.
Thanks for using the referral link! Hopefully you got $20 off your Order using it.
-
I got a popup to give me email that sent me a $20 off voucher, I’m assuming that is it.

I just bought a Gridseed 500KHash - 7v. £90 from Amazon. Less than buying the replacement GPU card (from one of my blown ones). It is obviously stuck on scrypt if we change algo tho’.
-
I sold my 4 5970s that were using 1.2KW and producing 3MHs and replaced them with a G Blade that gets about 5800KHs and including the raspberry pi controller uses 90W. Very impressed with it. I would like more but I’m not sure I will get ROI.

Mine FTC while you can, do not sell, wait for pump.

I did get the referral, thanks! $10 off my next one.
-
No problems, they were shipped yesterday from Hong Knong, so if I’m really lucky I will get them tomorrow, else Monday
-
Received my two furys last night, so now along with my one grdiseed I have 2.9Mh/s, bit better than my 300Kh/s I was getting with just my GPU
-
I ordered a week4 and week5 fury ;-) the week 4 did get picked up today so 6 days late but well, it’s on its way! :) Also purchased a ZenController along with it but it seems there are a lot of problems with it, hope you guys can get everything working smoothly so I can get tips!
