I have given cgminer another go and it seems to now do some hashing. Still not sure it is at the speed it's supposed to be.
I am getting on agverage 0.6 WO / minute.

Command line for cgminer I am using is:

Code:

sudo /home/syncapp/cgminer-selfcompiled/cgminer-gc3355/cgminer --scrypt --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=850,chips=5 --hotplug=1 -o stratum+tcp://middlecoin.com:3333 -u 1K5qx2wsjLxKZij8WdrV1rjNi6NDsdLsDc -p x

when using cpuminer I used the following command line that gave me the error message "failed open device /dev/ttyACM0,/dev/ttyACM1,/dev/ttyACM2":

Code:

sudo /home/syncapp/cpuminer/cpuminer-master/minerd --freq=850 --gc3355=/dev/ttyACM0,/dev/ttyACM1,/dev/ttyACM2 --url=stratum+tcp://middlecoin.com:3333 --userpass=1K5qx2wsjLxKZij8WdrV1rjNi6NDsdLsDc:x

in the actual version of cpuminer ... the autotune feature doesn't log when it changes a per chip frequency nor the steps to go .. right?
any way to re-add that log output which showed which chip running at which freq?

--debug shows the output from autotune.

Just got 3 Gridseed 5 chip miners today and am trrying to hook them up to my headless Ubuntu (13.10 - saucy) machine.

I haven't had much luck so far.

Using cpuminer (per https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5005687) wont let me specify more than one Gridseed interface.
When using --gc3355=/dev/ttyACM0,/dev/ttyACM1,/dev/ttyACM2 minerd states:

Code:

failed open device /dev/ttyACM0,/dev/ttyACM1,/dev/ttyACM2

Using cgminer (using https://github.com/dtbartle/cgminer-gc3355) doesn't seem to generated any hashes.
Accepted, rejected, and work per minute stats all stay on zero.

So obviously I am missing something and would hugely appreciate a pointer to current best way of using all my miners for scrypt mining.

What is the full command line you used?

can someone compile (the latest tui) for windows 8 for me?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ttqa9p851siz8oi/minerd-gc3355.zip

According to dropbox this was uploaded 20 hours ago.. but the latest commit on github is from 15 hours ago ("Optimize locks, handle invalid ltc responses"). Am I confused or are we waiting for a newer compile?

Need some help with solo mining in to qt wallet. Sandor cpu miners give "stoped responding and needs to close" error while trying to mine in to --url=127.0.0.1:port.
Can minerd be used to solo mine to qt wallet at all?

I think it still doesnt support getwork protocol

The Concierge of Crypto

Hi, Mr. Sandor, any benefit to tuning in 12.5 mhz increments? The older cpuminer on the crypto blog had this list: 250, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 706, 713, 719, 725, 731, 738, 744, 750, 756, 763, 769, 775, 781, 788, 794, 800, 813, 825, 838, 850, 863, 875, 888, 900, 913, 925, 938, 950, 963, 975, 988, 1000, 1013, 1025, 1038, 1050, 1063, 1075, 1088, 1100, 1113, 1125, 1138, 1150, 1163, 1175, 1188, 1200, 1213, 1225, 1238, 1250, 1263, 1275, 1288, 1300, 1313, 1325, 1338, 1350, 1363, 1375, 1388, 1400.

I await your autotune auto-log, auto config whatever version, as well as possibly using a config file instead of a long batch script (for windows).

When you have 40 gridseeds, ... it takes a long time to hand edit each setting on one giant command line.

any way to re-add that log output which showed which chip running at which freq?

HI,
Thanks for the info.
This is the version I am using. I had not had a chance to DL the newer version yet.
I cannot remember how to put the --log and --debug commands in the console or I would post the results.
Could you tell me how?
I do not run command line progs often anymore.

I have been reading through the thread here and I have a couple problems I cannot seem to solve with the blades.
It starts out at over 12 mh/s but after and hour or two goes all the way down to 3.8 and stays there. This is on clevermining, LTCRabbit and ScryptGuild.
This is with two Blades using CPUMiner. I am not sure what to do.

Here is my argument.

Quote

minerd.exe --freq=800 --gc3355=\\.\COM6,\\.\COM7,\\.\COM9,\\.\COM10 --gc3355-chips=40 --url=stratum+tcp://us.clevermining.com:3333 --userpass=1EV2wjbEkLyXBPzr7hTXyhNjsaNpyuTram:123

pause

I had tried with one Blade and autotune and got the same results.

I am not sure what I need to do to keep them running at full speed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Upload the full miner log (including debug output), maybe I can find something.
I haven't thoroughly tested on G-Blades, because I don't own one.

--log --debug, the log will be saved as cpuminer-gc3355.log. In the same directory as the executable.

Not sure if you are using the latest version, but actually the cpuminer-GC3355-win32-sandor111 versionhttp://cryptomining-blog.com/wp-content/files/cpuminer-GC3355-win32-sandor111.zip seems to work best with my blade miners on Windows 7. You may want to give the older version a try as well

Just modify your current script to use this
minerd.exe --freq=800 --log --debug --gc3355=\\.\COM6,\\.\COM7,\\.\COM9,\\.\COM10 --gc3355-chips=40 --url=stratum+tcp://us.clevermining.com:3333 --userpass=1EV2wjbEkLyXBPzr7hTXyhNjsaNpyuTram:123

thank you sandor, big fan of your work, just not really good with github. i previously had cpuminer-GC3355-win32-sandor111-tui folder that i downloaded from cryptmining-blog.com

i still can't resize the window which makes me think i dont have the latest. it says 0.9a. is this right?

thanks for the help, again.

I have been running for 10 +hrs with no issues on my 10 Gridseed (5 chip). Still have problems with the 40 chips Blades so just curious if anyone is successfully running this new cpuminer with blades on windows 7 .

It appears that all 80 chips initially begin hashing , but after about 10 minutes 40 stop hashing. The other 40 may keep hashing for 30 minutes or so. CPUminer is still trying to send out work so the program is not locking up etc. I thought it may be a usb issue so I switched out the cables with the 5 chips to rule that out. Com port settings have FIFO disabled etc. I also tested this out with bfgminer-3-99-0-windows-clean and my blades seem to work fine with that so far, but I would rather use this cpuminer version.

I tried the most basic script to rule out as much as possible. Frequency can be anywhere from 600-900 with same result so not sure what my problem is

minerd-gc3355 --freq=600 --gc3355=\\.\COM11,\\.\COM12 --url=stratum+tcp://us-east.multipool.us:7777 --userpass=X.XXXX:x

Thanks

I attached the log everything seems fine fr abut 4 minutes

I had tried with one Blade and autotune and got the same results.

I am not sure what I need to do to keep them running at full speed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Upload the full miner log (including debug output), maybe I can find something.
I haven't thoroughly tested on G-Blades, because I don't own one.
