Got it working!!!

How do I specify which device to use? I would like to point one gridseed to one pool, and the other gridseed elsewhere

Fantastic!

That one question I would not know I never experimented with nor do I know if the program is capable of doing this such type of work.

Okay. I know with CGMiner you can tell it to use device 0, and the other one will be off

cpuminer does not support concurrent mining to different pools like cgminer. You will have to specify specific devices under different instances with cpuminer.


I tried that, but then it went back to my old issue of failing COM port. Work never gets sent to device.


P.S.

Is there any way to solo mine with this. I tried, but it keeps trying to start stratum and finds it cant.

I'm gonna give Stratum Proxy a try and see if I can connect my Gridseeds to my wallet that way...I'll let you know if it works

couldn't get Straum_Proxy to connect to the wallet and pull work for CPUminer...anyone have any TuTs or suggestions.  I want to solo mine POTcoin an Feathercoin with my 5 chips.

HELP!

I'm not sure what I did, but now all 10 blades I have are not working!
I was trying to use a molex adapter to power a usb hub, and I'm not sure what I did but none of the units work.
No red lights come on when they are connected to a Pi. I tried using a friends blade on the exact same setup, and the red lights came on.
Is it possible I fried my blades? Is there a reset button anywhere?
What do I do?

Amazon doesn't have too many plugs which is what I'm needing atm. I tried ebay as well.

Would it be possible to add hotplug support to cpuminer-gc3355?  It already has autodetect...I would assume (rightly or not) that hotplug would simply be an extension of the autodetect feature on a variable timer.

That way you could add/remove mining hardware without having to restart the whole process.

Great idea!
I too would like to see this feature as well as auto-detect slowed miners that have fallen back and are lagging for one reason or another and restart that or those individual miners without restarting the whole smash!
There also needs to be a way to restart individual com ports without shutting down the whole smash which is probably not possible, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. At least have it shut down the whole operation, and restart the entire set of com ports, then re-start the mining operation back up.
These would be great features to add!

Anyone else have some ideas they'd like to see implemented? Now is the time to bring it up! Wink

Maybe a new thread would be called for to cover this as as a separate subject?
i.e. "Yet More cpuminer Features" or "An Even More Improved Version Of cpuminer" Wink

I love cpuminer the way it is but we can always expand its capabilities too!

I'm building a mining rig at the moment and these tunings will help for sure.

Are there any TUTS on how to solo mine to a local wallet on the same machine Windows machine the Gridseed 5 chips are plugged into?  I keep getting stratum error messages when I point my miners to a wallet with Sandors CPUminer.

Solved! Finally it was a problem of the PSU. Probably it was defective.

By the way, minereu.com Support team helped me very much.
Thank you all.

Have you tried it on a different pool? I have had a blade and 20 Gridseeds going on cgminer with no issues. Recently switched to cpuminer from Sandnor just because of the hot plug BS.

On wich OS ?
If WIN7 could you please give me the command line string to run it? Thanks  Wink

I am on vacation right now and do not have access to it. I have used this version of cgminer http://cryptomining-blog.com/2396-download-the-latest-cgminer-3-7-2-with-support-for-gridseed-gc3355-asics/

The "hot plug" problem.
I need a program that recognize the blade on win7 without plug-unplug.

Thank you

I am running cgminer on Windows 7 - 64 bit with no problems ...

I am trying to KISS ...like simple .bat file ...:

Thank you for your answer. I tried starting like you, but the same, 10.92 Mhs but WU:0.0 and no submissions to the pool.

Has anyone changed their fan on their Gridseed Blade?  I saw someone mention they used a Noctua NF-A9x14 PWM on litecointalk.org.  Right now its in an extra room but I might move it to my living room when I buy a couple more.  Would like a quieter option if possible.

I'm running a few of mine without fans altogether.  I sandwich the ones without fans between 2 that have fans.
They're also 47k volt modded & so are prone to be a bit hotter than un-modded.
I've had no problems.
