Just got my miner, but after 20 minutes, i still havnt gotten a share ??

This happens sometimes....Are you using the silver fins? This problem seems to occur more often with the silver fins. Keep restarting the cpuminer until you see it accepts shares. It should accept the first share within 2-3 mins


Yeh its the silver one. Got it to work, thanks.

Is there a way to use a regular power supply like this one - http://www.ebay.com/itm/400633139181?var=670187426663&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Or must I necessarily do the wires thing?

You can use something like that just fine. I would try to find one with a higher rating though, 5A is really on the limit if you do dual mining. It should be fine if you only use the scrypt mode.

I had a regular 12v 6a power supply laying around (like one for a laptop), I tried using that, but the device showed a red light. Why wouldn't this work?

Does it have + on the inside and - on the outside? Also the correct size plug (5.5x2.5mm)?

I'd be mainly interested in having a decent working version of either of them for the gridseeds, my donation goes to the first one Wink

I'd rather spread the gridseeds per 20 over multiple raspberry's to be able to use different pools plus a lower risk of failure for the whole "grid".

Ah, let's see whether this one is finished faster than MinePeon, then I'll have to get another Raspberry Wink

Is minepeon working on the gridseeds as well? Couldn't find anything about that?

Nope, haven't seen confirmation of that but when it's taking over 30% of the scrypt mining capacity it'll probably be added somewhere.

Yeah, you're probably right. But the scripta devs have been working on it for some time already. I would just love to have a single raspi manage everything. Either with minepeon adding scrypt support, or with scripta adding sha support.

i have the custom cpuminer from gridseed running on my raspberry pi.

Its pretty easy to install, just compile it and you will have the minerd in the checkout dir after that run it with:
sudo ./minerd -G /dev/devicename -o stratum+tcp://pool:port -u worker.name -p password --freq=750 -D

The -G option can be either /dev/ttyUSB0 [or a higher number] or /dev/ttyACM0 [or a higher number].

I'm running 4 of them now on my Pi, along with some sha256 asics. Every miner needs a separate minerd instance.

I have the gold units.

rgdz,
bhai

That sounds awesome! Can you give a more detailed description what version o minerd you used, how to compile them, and what linux version you use on the raspberry pi?

And the most important question, are the miners using only the LTC core or both?

Take a look at the scripta thread on litecointalk: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=9908.45 there is a link to the custom minerd there.

Also, I was quite amazed with the performance increase from going from the controller to a raspi:

I will try again the version that I compiled on Linux, now that the 'hardware issues' have been solved and it's hashing fine on Windows.

Unfortunately, my new attempt confirms that the cpuminer from gridseed's github doesn't seem to get any shares from the silver unit (while the Windows compiled version from LightningAsic works).

If you need to stay on Linux, I would attempt either the VM or Wine route for now

So is it not yet possible to run the 5-chip units under linux then?  Does any linux miner software exist?  I compiled the gridseed github minerd and got the same issues:

Don't worry too much about it, if you read my later posts and follow this topic, you will see that the modified CPUMiner works with silver units, although you may face several difficulties like others and I did.

I will try again the version that I compiled on Linux, now that the 'hardware issues' have been solved and it's hashing fine on Windows.

By the way, the output above is normal, you may want to leave it running for a couple of minutes to see if any shares are found and sent back to the pool (look for such lines in the log)

Notice that minerd always reports '0.00 khash/s' which is misleading - it's just unable to report the hashrate.

Apparently the modded CPUMiner above only works for the USB single-chip version.

All the help and info that I found here and other forums always assume that we are using the controller that we don't have.

So I guess I'll wait for rescue from Beastlymac on this one Wink
