When you want to use bfgminer you have to use the vcpi driver which can be found by here > https://www.silabs.com/documents/public/software/CP210x_Universal_Windows_Driver.zip
However if you use cgminer you have to switch to the zadig driver.
In my experience the zadig driver is a pain in the behind, caused me many issues when using my blades.
Anyway you can not install both so only 1 driver can be installed to prevent even bigger issues.
Only have 2 left of them which run for nostalgic reasons at my house.
Topic: [GUIDE] GridSeed Blade (80 Chip) Miner Support/Tuning (Read 38861 times)
Hi, I'm running on Windows, and using cgminer for the first time now since buying a GridSeed (Normally use ccminer on my GPUs)
Has anyone had any luck running on 2 pools simultaneously? I can't find anything about doing this with GridSeeds or GPUs
Since it's 2x40 chip boards I thought it would be easy to separate the devices and run each board on a separate pool?

Hi all
I am a newbie and got few blades with 80 chips (2x40) to learn.
I have hard time to set them up in my windows 10 laptop
They are both recognized from cgminer but only one seems to mine
BFF miner does not recognize them at all
Any tips or hints highly appreciated
Thank you

The heatskinks are seriously overkill for the wattage used by the Gridseed 80 - you could probably get away with a 10 CFG fan (if they exist in 92 mm).
I put some of my old NFB fans on a couple of these - ballpark 40-50 cfm rated - with ZERO overheating issues other than the usual "power conversion circuitry is poorly cooled" problem.

4 running, neat hobby for the price. Mod the fans with quieter artic fans, lower cfm but so far no problems. Any thoughts on lowering CFM from 90 to 50 on these blades?
I've been finding them on eBay.
WHO SEL LTHİS ?
how much is it ?
how much is it ?
I fixed it
i will post the full info when i get home
Yes i know that this is on this thread and others BUT
it can get confusing for some of us OLD gits
so i thought i would do it command by command
ok heres what i did
make sure you are sudo su to root
cd
apt-get install build-essential libtool libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev autoconf automake screen
wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.34.0.tar.bz2
wget http://www.digip.org/jansson/releases/jansson-2.5.tar.bz2
tar -xvf curl-7.34.0.tar.bz2
cd curl-7.34.0
./configure
make
make install
cd ..
tar -xvf jansson-2.5.tar.bz2
cd jansson-2.5
./configure
make
make install
wget http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/ubuntu/pool/main/a/automake1.11/automake1.11_1.11.6-2_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i automake1.11_1.11.6-2_all.deb
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libjansson.* /usr/lib/
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/jmordica/cgminer-gc3355
if you have a problem with git then use 'apt-get install git'
cd cgminer-gc3355/
./configure --enable-scrypt --enable-gridseed
make
Thats it your done
./cgminer --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=800,chips=40,modules=1,usefifo=0,btc=0 --hotplug=0
this works on Ubuntu 13.10 and the new version 14 Ubuntu
Hope this helps someone out.
Helped even after a few years, Thank you! - Additional: Working on Current(Nov, 2017) Raspberry Pi 3, over secure WiFi, Debian, cgminer-gc3355.

Am running 10 of gridseed blade using cgminer 4.3.5 win7 x64bit, and mining eth at the same time.
Basic config for cgminer:
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://gcpool.eu:3346 -u xxxx -p xxxx --scan-serial \\.\COM3.\COM4 --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=850,chips=80 --hotplug 80
pause
Hope it helps.

Is this config suitable to ether as well? I thought the blades could only do scrypt.
Nope. Eth mining using 2 GPUs running win7 64.
Can anybody tell me exactly what I need piece by piece?
I want to order from aliexpress

That is not a complete gridseed blade, just parts. Even if you find a complete machine, I would suggest not buying these from anywhere in general...they are old, and clunky, and a pain in the ass to setup. Just my 2 cents, I have one running now and it's okay, but I would not buy again.

Just thought I'd drop in my 20 cents worth as well.
I didn't have much luck getting cgminer to work, but I'm running 2 blades (4 boards) quite successfully using BFGMiner 5.4.1 with the following config:
bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://scrypt.usa.nicehash.com:3333/#xnsub -u username -p d=2048 -d gridseed -S gridseed:all --set-device gridseed:clock=775,chips=40
I've just knocked down the clock speed to 775 so as to not overheat them, so it runs comfortably around 10-12mhz, with .5% error rate over a week say.

Not bad. This thread is pretty weak when you are sorely needing info on setting up. So...Just an FYI: It took me a couple of hours of trial-n-error before I got mine to use CGminer (sorry, not a BFG fan). The trick was to use the hot-plug command. Once I figured that out, I am very happy with the way the GBlade performs. Never had a temp problem running at either 838 or 850 freq (more than that was too many errors), but do have a power supply line problem with them not lasting long due to temp meltdown. LOL...ahhh..such is the miners life. If it isn't one thing, it is another.
Good Luck
