I have given up. Using cpuminer still. I was able to get a bunch to show up but never all 20.

Heres how i did it.

1. Start cgminer with your usb data cable unplugged.
2. Let it load and connect to the pool you are using
3. Plug in the data cable. Most i ever got was 18 or 19 of 20.

PS: heard it helps if u change hot plug value to 5

trollbox to get more than 20 up on cgminer, change the height of the command prompt window, try height 50. Ive used height 70 for 40 devices. all working. but had to plug in all usb hubs one at a time

Trollbox, check all your USB connections. Had the same issue and it was just one cable that was not totally seated. Weird they all work in cpuminer though.

MysteryX, cgminer is what I am using with 20 and those are the correct steps to get it working on 3.7.2.

I believe BFGminer support is available now as well. If not official then UN-official support.

I'll give it a look, thanks

I'm using the controller at the moment but there's no stats for each of the miners so it's kind of annoying not really being able to keep an eye on them.

Okay so i got a new batch of Gridseed miners in, i try running the gridseed compiled version of CG Miner and it won't see any of them, i have installed the drivers with zadig and it see's them all as STM32 Virtual COM Port. Doesn't matter how many times i restart CG Miner or plug / unplug the USB hub and devices, it doesn't want to see them.

Any help? It's killing me....
