I have them in ... :-(

OK 1 2 3
First:
i go to Seed Manager, and setup an New Config like "Zeus"
In this, i Put in, the Config data ..
Then i go to miner.. and set Start ?
Greetings..

Did you build from https://github.com/zeusminer/cgminer_zeus ?
My build from there won't start either.

Code:

// support for --set-device
// must be set before probing the device

I think this means use set options before specify com port.

Poolside hashrate (24hr avg) is down to 1,514 kH/s
I'll run: --set zus0:ignore_golden_nonce=1 --set zus:freq=383 --set zus:cores=8 --set zus:chips=6 -S zus:\\.\COMxx

and see if any improvement after a couple of hours

Edit: I quit it again. Seems like it is running at stock frequencies. Could be my build.

I'm running Windows - not sure if that would work.
The path seems optional. I get an error about "doesn't have permission on the com port" (not an exact quote)

Just tried --set zus0:ignore_golden_nonce=1 and it didn't crash so maybe that is one way to use it in Windows.

I suppose Windows ought to work something like
--set zus@\\.\COM4:ignore_golden_nonce=1
or
--set zus@//./COM4:ignore_golden_nonce=1

(One of my pet niggles about DOS/windows is it's use of the wrong slash for paths, unix came first, why not follow the standards Microsoft, oh, it's because you want to do it differently just because you can. Then oops, you just broke character escaping in C, shells, etc etc )

I can't figure out how to use:
--set zus@/path/to/zeus:ignore_golden_nonce=1

Do you use it like this?

Code:

--set zus@/dev/ttyUSB2:nocheck_golden=1

wasn't is supposed to fail over 382?

It depends on whether they treat 255 as a valid clock speed (my FPGA code does not, see here). I'm curious about whether it works too!

I'm still waiting for my crystals, I should have ordered from mouser or similar with 24h shipping, but paying 20€ shipping for 2 crystals at 4€ each didn't look as a bargain.

In the UK I use Farnell. No delivery charge for any size order (pretty insane really, I once ordered a single device in a 144 pin TQFP package and it came packed in a 60 chip carrier array in a huge box, must have cost them more to send it than the chip was worth!).

kramble mentioned there was a chance 383 would work.

I switched back to 380 as it seemed to be losing hashrate at 383. I may test again later.

etc. If you have a buggy ZeusMiner unit that is not recognized, you can try using the following argument:

Code:

--set zus@/path/to/zeus:ignore_golden_nonce=1

Note that you should not use the above unless needed, and you should specify the path to the affected device. Otherwise other cp210x ASICs will be recognized as a ZeusMiner.

I can't figure out how to use:
--set zus@/path/to/zeus:ignore_golden_nonce=1

edit: going back to Darkwinde's build to try to get the hashrate back up. 24hr avg on this device has dropped to 1,518 kH/s Sad

nwoolls has been busy:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7409154

Code:

//max clock 383MHz, min clock 200MHz
if (chip_clk > 383)
chip_clk = 383;
else if (chip_clk < 200)
chip_clk = 200;

383 seems to work but I just started it. I'll run it for a couple of hours to see where the hashrate stabilizes. My first try at compiling anything so your results may be better Cool

I also came across that late last night (around 12am or so here) and cloned and built it. I noticed it doesn't report the hashrate right, but the poolside is showing a combined rate of 3-3.4mhs for both fury's. I'm running them at 380...didn't try the 383.

Does cgminer start but can't find device or does cgminer not start at all?

CGMiner doesnd Start

For Tests.. i Use an Gridseed... this miner Work..

Hello...

I hope someone can help me...

In your batch file, try putting start in front of the command lines. This will launch each command line in it's own process.

Example:
start cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://us.clevermining.com:3333 -u 1FC7cRPFXUXpgGoduMy1EZcA86zbQAaPKW -p x --nocheck-golden --chips-count 6 --ltc-clk 328 -S //./COM1
start cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://us.clevermining.com:3333 -u 1FC7cRPFXUXpgGoduMy1EZcA86zbQAaPKW -p x --nocheck-golden --chips-count 6 --ltc-clk 328 -S //./COM2
start cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://us.clevermining.com:3333 -u 1FC7cRPFXUXpgGoduMy1EZcA86zbQAaPKW -p x --nocheck-golden --chips-count 6 --ltc-clk 328 -S //./COM3

OK, putting the "start" in front of both of them launches to separate windows and I think does the same thing as having tow batch files. Each has its own port and each has its own worker at the pool. The stats at the pool do not look right - guess they will level out after a while. Everything seems to be ok each miner window. Thanks so much guys!

Eventually, these need to move to a RPI so as to not tie up my laptop. Will save that for another day......

I don't know if better.
I can run one at 381 clk and the other at 380. Not sure if I can do that with 1 instance.
For some reason one likes 381 and the other likes 380

Just hit 1,584 kH/s 24hr avg poolside with the one running 381 clk.

with bfgminer I run a batch file for each Fury , 2 Fury's, 2 batch files
each batch file specifies a different com port

You can run multiple devices in one instance but with two miners I run one instance per miner. I have 2 bfgminer windows running at the same time.

Do you get better performance from 2 miner processes? I'm running Darkwinde's bfgminer on rpi with a single instance for 2 fury's and it seems to work just fine. I haven't gotten any of the reported "sick" miner status' that others have been reporting.
