This is working great getting much better resuts than with cgminer/bfgminer on my blades. I am not sure how I can run one instance of cpuminer with blades and gridseeds though. Is this possible or would it have to be 2 separate instances due to the chips=40 or chips=5 flags?

Thanks

Sounds like a question for Sandor111.....Yu there Sandi?

Can anyone also check on their side the Minered.exe ? cause this is what is found

https://www.virustotal.com/fr/file/36c262c15ee54f24842f990e3775edf4f026f7135563d39a326ba2f85a37026e/analysis/1398305556/

like I said there are alot of false positives in the miner softwares but I prefer to be safe than sorry Grin

I seem to have found the COM port numbers for my gridseeds using "USBDeview" (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html) program (COM11 & 12), but still cpuminer isn't finding them. Is this how things look for you guys?

http://pasteboard.co/2m01Cdgj.gif

Don't forget the "\\.\"

Code:

--gc3355=\\.\COM11,\\.\COM12

Yep the syntax in my BAT file is fine in respect to that.

try to change them to an other com port number below 10

I can't find a straight forward way of doing that.. any suggestions?

Look at this tutorial for windows and CPUminer, he will show how to change ports as well

Can someone compile me a windows version of https://github.com/jmordica/cgminer-gc3355 to test?

Sandor111, can you recompile me a version which allows 838 freq for my blades? Right now it only accepts 825 and 850. I turned off autotune.

That's just a display bug, if you set it to 838, it will show as 825 because it does 838 - 838 % 25

that's 1050€ so that's 105 euro per gridseed, cheaper than the 130

unfortunately I did not found 90$ price 65€ in europe, if you do, tell me I buy them right away

)))

Not found also, this is indeed the best offer from a trustable company, thx.

Who in the right mind is buying 10 Gridseeds (50chips) now when can buy 80 Chips Blade for (nearly) same price.

Thats 30 Chips more!

i think wait some days , price of Gridseeds will be falling like a stone in the water and we see 750-999$ for 10 pcs very soon

Will the 10Miner Gridseed for $1500 will breakeven ?
Total Hash Rate 3600khs

No one knows for sure. But if you are going to spend $1500, you can better buy the blade miner of 5200khs.

i am asking myself with the Blade out, the Gridseeds are way to expensive.

I want buy 10 gridseeds also, but not want to pay more than 1000$.

I bought two , last one 130Euro. I think that never will break even, lol. But i just bought it for fun , want learn setting it up, Raspberry, playing around with Linux/Unix.

What´s the cheapest right now? (i´m in europe ,want buy 10 GS )

for europe the cheapest I have found is https://minereu.com/

1350$ hm plus 100$ shipping thats 1450$, still too much.

For little bit more can have 80 chip Blade Miner, so no way Wink

I've been mining with 12 gridseeds but I have an issue I haven't been able to figure out. I was running BFGminer with each gridseed doing around 320 khs. The pool was showing around 3.8 to 4 mhs. When ever I push them higher than that the pool hash rate seems to drop off a fair bit. Down to around 2.5. I've tried on different pools and the same thing seems to keep happening. This was without getting any hardware errors. I thought it was perhaps an issue with BFGminer so I decided to give this latest version of CPUminer a go to see if I got better results.

The same thing seems to be happening with this miner as well. I've been running it for a couple of hours at 825 in autotune and it is displaying around 630 khs per gridseed?? The pool is showing around 3.2 mhs for all 12 gridseeds. This obviously doesn't seem right. Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? Why when I have a higher hash rate the pools show it lower? All 12 are connected via powered USB hub into a laptop running windows 7 x64 sp1. It's a relatively new laptop ( couple of years old ). Could it be an issue with cables or USB ports? Maybe I'm missing something?

I'm trying Sandor's new build of cpuminer but not sure what to put as the COM address? In device manager my STM32 virtual COM ports don't seem to have COM numbers. Any advice greatly appreciated, thanks!

p.s. I tried --gc3355=STM32 but this didn't seem to work.. still fails with "GetLastError:2".

Make sure to uninstall whatever drivers you have had installed (zadig etc.) for the STM32, then replug the USB and it should show up under COM ports.

Zadig doesnt appear to be installed as such, as I understand it, Zadig is a standalone .exe that lets you change drivers? I tried changing the driver to something other than WinUSB (with Zadig), uninstalling from device manager, and uninstalling the STM software. Still the gridseeds get instantly recognised as virtual STM ports with no port number when I plug them back in.

Is there something else I need to uninstall? I had read elsewhere that finding the COM port number wasn't necessary if you just set --gc3355=STM32 in the bat file - but this doesn't seem to work, in your build at least.

Also I tried setting the COM port from 1 though 15 in the BAT file to try and find the right number through trial and elimination, but no setting worked for me.

In the device manager right click the virtual STM32 and uninstall the driver make sure to click delete the driver software. Plug back in the gridseeds and wait for them to be installed and assigned COM ports

I did check "delete driver software" when I removed them, but they still seem to get detected the same when I replug the USB, with no port numbers.

Yah, personally I don't feel that the latest cpuminer pooler is quite there yet. Nice try though! Wink

I'm sticking with cpuminer oc version as it has been working perfectly for months without any drop outs.
Running several screens is of little concern when using scripts to run the whole smash anyway.
I'd like to see real time local hash rate in the same type / current screen, not some all together different version that now needs to be debugged by some end users.

He is having trouble getting the COM port detected in device manager, AFAIK this has nothing to do with cpuminer.
