So can I run on 12v 3.75 amps for tonight. I have a 12v 6a coming but might be tomorrow or Friday before i see it. Thanks

In LTC only mode, absolutely! Way more overhead than required.
Good luck!

I will be doing LTC only for tonight. Thanks for the info

I just used a spare PC PSU for power for everything. It is a 625 80+bronze, should be able to run 8 or so without any problems. One pcie connector can power 3 devices, one IDE connector can power 1 device + the wii board

I am currently at work, Wasted an hour at lunch on the thing. When I get home Ill if your still online I will look up my skype information.
How do you update the firmware on the device? It sucks getting a generic board with no labelling or instructions to go with it, especially when it costs me $100 bucks for the thing. I will be so happy when someone comes out with a dual miner option for windows.

You can update the device on wiibox.net ... be sure to use chrome for internet so you can use google translate ... to your language.

http://www.bitcoinguru.com.au/gridseed-wiiboxnet-page-translation.html

I rewrote 2.0.2 to english language .. I'm not sure if 2.0.3 will still allow to ssh into the box ...

I hope this helps.

Do you have a download link of your english version of 2.0.2, that would be great, translate is fine and all but still a pain in the ass. Also I do not see anywhere in those pictures where i can upgrade the firmware od the device

I need some help, I am going to smash this %$*(% wiibox controller I cannot get the damn thing to work. I can log into the page for it but it tells me No BTC equipment! and NO LTC equipment.

I have 5v power to the mini usb on it i have a powered hub connected to the large usb on it and I have a network cable connected to the back of my router on it. I have no idea why it has two network ports. and i do not know what the little button is for.
I and open a web page and see the crappy chinese webpage for the device and enter settings but it says No BTC equipment! and NO LTC equipment under each item. I have had the miner running scrypt fine directly under windows but I would like to take advantage of its dual mining abilities. This stupid piece of crap controller is starting to frustrate the shit out of me. Also what is the little jumper on it for.

Try a different thread. They are out here, you just have to look!
Good luck!

Thank you for the absolutely useless reply. Oh I am sorry the title of this thread is not Guide Gridseed miner Support/Tuning. My mistake!!!!

Send me your skype name I will try to help you I got a wiibox controller in hand ... to follow you.

Here is a pic of how it should be connected.

This thread has some translation pics that might help in deciphering wiibox.net https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5463728. Once you update to 2.0.3, you can just go the ip address and enter pool info there.

Write out the worker IDs as follows for better stability (only use the number of actual miners you have hooked up):

worker_1, worker_2, worker_3, worker_4, worker_5, worker_6, worker_7, worker_8, worker_9, worker_10

That looks identical to how I have mine hooked up, I have a couple of questions, one how do I update the firmware on the device, and two am i correct to assume that the micro usb on the device is the 5v power and the full size usb is to the hub. also about 40% of the time that i access the ip of the device it hangs and causes all of my internet to not function and forces me to reboot my router.

Mining Software:
- cpuminer-GC3355-win32-fixed for LTC only (low watt fixed)
- cpuminer-GC3355-win32-fixed-OC for LTC only (low watt fixed and OC support up to 1200mhz) (read)

...

Curious what the point of going up to 1200 MHz is for clock speed since anything over 950 throws a crapload of invalid nonces.

Yes, I agree! Go ahead and try it and let us know what happens... Wink

And as always, TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!
I'm seeing no errors at 850 but my nonce - on average, has dropped from 100% to 99.76%!
WATCH YOUR nonce value. That's the one that counts as it's an indication of VALID shares accepted!...or not ;(

Anger is a gift.

Just found this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/howto-run-50-gridseed-miners-off-a-single-windows-7-x64-machine-w-downloads-502038

You will need a separate instance of cpuminer for each Gridseed.

So if you have 20 miners (2 usb hubs) you need to start 2 instances of minerd? but how?

Thanks!

...

Does this support multiple miners? 10 or 20 hooked to one windows machine (of course through a powered usb hub)?

Earlier they had stated it will support over 10 miners. In cpuminer you have to use the exact COM port, \\.\COM15

After seeing space on the PSU and a having a 13 usb hub I just purchased two more miners today, so going to run 12 in total, lets see how the controller takes it.

Will report back.
