I was under the impression cgminer would do the work, cuz I am familiar with cgminer not sgminer. Yup, more like dropped my body in not both feet.

Any recommendations where I can go for support for this rather bog ckolivas thread up with this. Im lost now.

The current BFGMiner source in Git supports GridSeed devices and the upcoming 4.0 binaries will as well. You can compile from source from *nix, use Homebrew for OS X, or get a daily build for Windows from here.

Cool, I got you from over at ltc forums.

I don't know which thread to use this one or ltc thread.

are there any guides for BFGMiner?

Also, thank you to the mod/admin that moved and created this thread out of cgminer thread for me to here. Thumbs up.

Nope thats apparently another fork of it.

try http://www.sgminerwindows.com/

or this if you can compile or have linux to make sure you have the newest

https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer

Just note I haven't played with sgminer but I don't see a driver file like cgminer has so I don't know if you still need to take another path to get your gridseed miner working.

I had ordered the 300+ KH/s Single Gridseed ASIC Miner.

Are there any recommendations as to setting up cgminer for this asic miner?

I am new to asics, and I am doing some prep work prior it arriving so when it comes, I can boom, set it up to go.

Most time, I am not good learning by myself, alot of times I need advice n help, if someone may help

.

You have to look elsewhere for support. Being grid seed supports scrypt you probably have to look into sgminer for getting that up and running.

Kinda fun you jumped in with both feet to a gridseed miner. At least you'll have the best of both scrypt and sha256 if you get it up right Wink

.
...

Unfortunately, in sha256 land, that device is about the worst performance in W/GHs of any recent device.

The sha256 added to it seems like an attempt to attract ignorant BTC miners and nothing more.

. If it was me I probably would have ended up with something else. At the prices they are charging for what you get that I found I would have started with an antminer s1 for bitcoin or [being biased] some drillbitsystem devices from Australia

uh oh that isnt good. I am prob in trouble then. omy.
