Setting up the sandor111 for my 2 gridseeds, I get some errors.

Here is my screen:

Post the json you're using. Stock I am guessing?

I used the stock json. I also started it from a CMD Prompt, no json, autodetect. same error:

Pool info incomplete, seems like you forgot the pool URL, user and pass.

Honored to have the developer reply

Anyway, I have started it with the start.bat, tied into the config.json. It appears it is not mining.

Here is the miner:

He might want to edit the json with notepad and add the following, but he needs to change the pool:port,username and password.

Code:

{
"gc3355-detect" : true,
"gc3355-freq" : [
"8D9117765449:850:0", "8D9117765449:850:1", "8D9117765449":850:2", "8D9117765449:850:3", "8D9117765449:850:4"
"8D76576C5355:850:0", "8D76576C5355:850:1", "8D76576C5355:850:2", "8D76576C5355:850:3", "8D76576C5355:850:4"
],
"gc3355-autotune" : true,
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "pool:port",
"user" : "username",
"pass" : "password"
}
],
"freq" : "850",
"debug" : true,
"log" : "log.txt"
}

After auto tuning for what 12-18 hours, he needs to check the log to see where optimal performance is. Then edit the json and remove and add "edit" the frequencies to each chip "0 1 2 3 4"

BTW, no need to specify the frequency for each chip if they're the same, I believe that bug was fixed recently.

Nice catch...was going to suggest checking 12v power.

New issue with one of my Blades. Every so often, I'll get one of the Blades having a "USB failure". Of course, using CGMiner, this kills the program and then ALL the Blades stop mining. Sad

I've tried using a different USB cable and I've tried a different power source. Nothing changes. When its mining, its awesome. Fast. I was running everything at 838Mhz, but I've gone back down to 800 to see of that was the problem. Nope, every time, eventually, there will be a USB failure and CGMiner has to shut down.

Search for FIFO Buffers in this thread.
Your solution may be there.
Good luck!

Let me RECOMMEND CPUMINER Ver. 1.1c!
It has to be the best work Sandor111 has done on this program yet!
I LOVE it!
Thank you Sandor! Very Well Done!
Wolfey2014

Thought the last one was 1.0c?

Quote from: sandor111 on May 18, 2014, 05:35:33 PM

GC3355 device detection + serial string display has been added for Windows.
Binaries are updated, current version is 1.0c
Edit: You can now also set frequency by serial instead of COM port.

Some people call it 1.0c. I call it 1.1c Grin

D-OH!

Wow! That's unexpected considering how little I did. Sandor111 and michelem have done all the work.

Anyway, thanks very much!

Once again formatted my test SD to use with my testing rig, this time with Minera+cpuminer. I've been having the following problem:

Stratum just disconnects randomly. I don't know if it's a cpuminer problem, but i presume it is since Minera is working perfectly. Any workaround for this? I have to keep resetting this rig.

Hey, is 'any frequency' supported in the latest version of cpuminer, ver 1.0c ?
I presume any frequency means you can step it at 1Hz increments too?
Thanks

It seems to be. I have one of my miners at 1170Mhz.

Yes.

Well, I am preparing myself for my Raspberry Pi Model B RASPBRRY-PCBA512 Broadcom BCM2835 700MHz ARM1176JZFS.

-
Steps that I have prepared myself so far with.

A1). Installed SDFormatterv4.
A2). Installed Win32DiskImager-0.9.5.
-
~
-
=
Goals:
=
+
B1). Picking an image. SCIPTA or HASHRA
B2). Asking if Sandor111 program is supported in either images of SCIPTA or HASHRA.
B3). Asking which Image would best fit me or my setup?
+
-
Description:
I will be running five volt modded for higher overclock and fan volt modded 5-chip gridseeds. +one unmodded untouched as for now 5-chip gridseed. Grand total of 6 gridseeds.

Notes:
I do have a little experience with debian based OS's like, ubuntu, linuxmint.

I've used Scripta with three different versions of cgminer. While that rig works, it's not optimal. I get occasional cgminer crashes, which I've worked around by using daemontools to keep the miner software running. Sometimes a GridSeed will stop producing accepts, so I have to bounce cgminer. And lastly, there are certain features of Scripta that have just never worked for me (including the graphs).

If I was starting from scratch, I would go with Minera and Sandor111's cpuminer. I've been running that combo on a test rig for a couple of weeks and am happy. I've found cpuminer to be very stable, and it's auto tune function gets you close to optimal per-chip frequencies without a lot of messing around.

I'm hoping to move my main rig to Minera/cpuminer this weekend. I'm waiting on a new Minera feature of running cpuminer as a service.

So take a look at this thread. The OP (michelem) has a Raspberry Pi image:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/minera-v090-your-next-mining-dashboard-s9l3d3cpuminercgminerbfgminer-596620

It's good that you have some *nix experience. While all of the above mentioned images strive to provide a mining appliance, there will definitely be some work that you will have to do to update, troubleshoot, and keep things running.

It seems that one of my Gridseeds is not actually hashing. See the pic to get what I mean. This is confirmed by my pool speed of barely 3,000 khs.

I rebooted the raspberry several times to no avail. The only difference is that the #Gridseed changes (here is #3, before a reboot was #4).
I got this batch a few days ago and in the first days all 10 were mining.
Now I don't even know how to find the culprit: can i disconnect one by one while they are operating without risking to damage others?
Any advice? tia

@darkfriend77: it was a batch2 from you. Is there a warranty?

it's running just han;t gotten any shares to work on.

give it some time or join a larger pool

Same Problem, it´s a faulty Miner. Got refunded my 70$ from minereu.com.

GC3355 device detection + serial string display has been added for Windows.
Binaries are updated, current version is 1.0c
Edit: You can now also set frequency by serial instead of COM port.

May I ask how I get the serial?

Just start the program as normal and it shows in the log and permanently displays at the top of the display. Its a 12 digit string.

Sandor111 thanks for the gpuminer for the gridseeds.
