Topic: [GUIDE] GridSeed Blade (80 Chip) Miner Support/Tuning - page 3. (Read 38912 times)
is it possible to run blades and mini from same cgminer?
In CGMiner, curious to know what the WU: is for. 
I have six blades up and running ( 12 total PCB's ) - wondering what my WU should be.
Running at 838 Mhz and it runs fine for hours. Few HW issues, but nothing to be worried about.
Also for those that are purchasing blades still. Don't buy the 12V 10A power adapters. Get a good PSU instead.
I'm earning about 0.05btc / day with this setup mining various alts and subselling them. Wondering if I should mine strictly LTC.
I am fairly new and although I have read many forums, I'm still trying to find the best way to monetize my blades. ( 30 Mhash )
Thanks!

perhaps off topic, but these are going for around 699 now...i have the ability to get one in 5 days, wondering if scrypt is still profitable for say...next 69 days? that's what it would take to break even on one of these.
I know BTC is unprofitable at the moment to mine
also, do you really need a rPi to run these, or can you just usb both to your pc, and does each board need a power supply or only one?
edit: I read a few pages back, looks like just a psu and usb cables. still wondering if 699...~1 btc is a good price and if it is still profitable

does the g blade mine x11 and or n-factor?
nope. still just scrypt asics like the small gridseeds
does the g blade mine x11 and or n-factor?
Hello,
i have a problem with my blades.
The miner i am using is cgminer 3.7.2 gridseed. I have 7 blades on my laptop.
Installed Windows usb drivers. When i run cgminer it only detects one gsd. not more. i have first to start cg and then plug in the blades after running it. Then it detects all blades.
Also cg shuts down one time a day. This happens most times in the night. Everytime a differnt time.
Can please somebody help me ?

Hi
I played with my blades for few hours, read ton of online materials but did not find solution for my problem.
I connected blades to my home Windows server and the problem is when I start cgminer it does not detect blades. I have to unplug the blades, start cpuminer and then plug usb cables from blades quite fast so cgminer detect the hardware. It is frustrating as server is in the part of the house I have a long walk to and going there to do such stuff manually instead of remote desktop :/

Same problem here, but I found a pain-in-the-ass cure for it. Download a program called "Zadig" which manages your WINUSB and other device drivers. Open the program, and go the options tab at top and click "list all devices" Then after you start cgminer (Windows x64) you click on the reinstall WINUSB driver over the STM32 driver and your Gridseed Blades will be recognized and won't drop off completely I found.
thanks i tried that version of cgminer (3.7.2 i think from the crypto blog) from there but it doesn't work...just says no device detected. However i can get the modified version of bfgminer to work but the speed is a bit inaccurate.
I managed to get the gridseed version of cgminer working, but you need to run it with the sudo command (I use a Rasp-pi) to get it to detect the USB
Is this one blade or 20 unit of gridseed blade (total 40 blade) ?
Hi, this is 20 blades. Each blade has 2 physical usb devices so it shows as 40 in cgminer/bfgminer.
Is this one blade or 20 unit of gridseed blade (total 40 blade) ?
If anyone with a blade is willing to try this out, I have been working to include blade support on Scripta, a RPi controller for Scrypt hashing. Here is link to my latest attempt to incorporate the blade:
https://mega.co.nz/#!YZMRUZgA!aCRXr1W860jcic5bl12fbSRpHZwSX0WEgmu4PcuZlDE
The image is unzipped at 15gb, but that is just the size card I was using, it should easily fit on 8gb
This is still in alpha/beta development, but without a blade of my own it is tough to test.
Here is the repo for the development branch of Scripta: https://github.com/DocGonzzo/scripta
And here is the original Scripta announcement: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=9908.0
Please be aware that although the BTC cores should not be running, it would probably be wise to keep an eye on the device temp when running this distro

That didnt upload right. This should work: https://mega.co.nz/#!ZVkACTAD!aCRXr1W860jcic5bl12fbSRpHZwSX0WEgmu4PcuZlDE

Anyone tried the latest cpuminer (0.9c)? Should be working fine with G-Blades now.

Sandor111,
Can you tell me how to capture the debug for you?

Sandor111,
First thanks for all the work.
So far the new 90a work fine with my usb pod gridseeds, but it has a few problems with my gridseed blade.
1. Each 40 chip board starts off fine, 10-30 minutes in one will slowly start to slow down until no hashes are reported, then the other will stop also.
2. I am running the Pods and the Blade on separate instances.
3. Is there a way to run them both on the same instance , where the 10 pods can be auto tuned and the two 40 chip blades can be set for a hard freq?
Thanks
TC

@Anyone with G-Blades: If you could upload the full miner log with debug output, that would be helpful.
For now, seperate instances is the only way, but it's a good idea to specify which devices should be autotuned. I'll think about adding that.

Anyone using cpuminer? Care to post your results?
I tried it and its way slower than cgminer 3.7.2 =( ... at least using my pi as host, which come to find out it was having major USB issues w/ the gblades... so maybe thats why it was slow.
Anyone using cpuminer? Care to post your results?
I have noticed alot of duplicated shares by gridseed blade, have anyone else that problem?
...
not for me =( ... id give anything to have cgminer working on my rpi but the USB bus resets after a few minutes of mining and miners stop =(
I can only get minerd(cpuminer) to work stable on the USB ports since it seems to communicate differently through them or something... but cpuminer is like 1MH slower and for some reason it doesnt seem to report the pool accepting all the shares generated. Like 2 nonce found messages would scroll past but only 1 accepted at pool ... with no reject meessage either. Happens a few times a minute. So, the avg reported pool hashrate by minerd is like 1-2MH less than cgminer 3.7.2 hosted on a laptop.
I wish I could try bfgminer see if it works more stable on the rpi
The hub I have it all plugged into is powered as well.
So, I dont know wtf the deal is =(

I used a fresh debian install ... and the orginal cgminer from andreed ... wrong hashrate ... but doesn't matter ... and changed the cmdline ... slub_flag or something like this ... and it works stable 48h and more
Yeah I tried that flag, same behaviour =( ... oh well guess its fucked.
