Topic: [GUIDE] GridSeed GC3355 5 Chip Setup/power/windows/linux/rpi by UnicornHasher - page 3. (Read 365540 times)

This is a brilliant guide guys thanks

just after a little help if possible. I can't seem to get any accepted shares at all

I've tried cpu miner.  sgminer and cgminer
it's on windows it says it's running at 300khs no issues but gets no accepted shares

took the first one apart and it had a burnt chip. so the chap was nice enough to send another one FOC.

same issue and ive gone over it with a multimeter a few times and it seems ok

it's running off a mole plug inside the pc is getting the correct 12v detects and install drivers when It came to cgminer i changed the drivers with zig just feeling very lost now

any suggestions?

As one of the many Authors of this thread, I thank you for your kind words! We ALL appreciate the kudos!
Always gratifying to see others winning with it!

Lottery? Maybe you mean solo mining

Now ...

what can i do with my Gridseed, since its only mining scrypt and  forget about  sha256!!

Is there a way to use kinda minercontrol on multiple pool (in scrypt) and choose the most profitable coins to mine on different poll?

Ive tried Multiminer and the best for now for me its minercontrol for my amd and nvidia!! 

Otherwise it sit on my desktop and mine scrypt on yammp

I think i saw we can mine for lottery or something like this on another blogs...  trying to find a valuable way for this golden fan

I really do love you! i was able to setup my grid seed. I went from some block erupter & duel miner usb to grid seeds.

Had alot more trouble with the grid seed not due to quality just lack of understanding but after about an hr of searching and god knows how long trying to do it myself. Found this thread and i setup it fairly easy thanks so much. A+ guide

Thank you! Will search for alternatives.

Heard those power supplies were highly inefficient.

Yes, they are not modified. Thank you very much for the response. I'l try. The main problem is too much wiring for a small quantity of plug places on power supply

Hi
I presume you are talking about unmodified 5 chip gridseeds?
If so, yes indeed!
Even if they are modified, you should be fine running them with that power supply.
I forget the exact current that the modified units pull each but I have been powering 12 modified GS5 pods with a 25 Amp 12V which provides plenty of overhead, for over a year now without any problems. I've also been safely powering another 13 of them with a 30A power supply for the same period of time so you should be good to go!
But...remember!
What ever happens, you are fully responsible for the results!
God speed!

Hey guys! Can I use single 350w 12V 30A power supply for 10 5chip gridseeds in scrypt only mode? Thank you!
(This power supply)

Thanks for your reply and recommendations, I'll do it as you said

Yes!
But try to make sure you can reconnect them later if needs be, although I don't know why it would ever become necessary .
You really only need to cut the positive (+ red) wire. Leave the negative (- black) wire intact. Less work later if you do need to reconnect.
And make sure you do this ONLY while the unit is NOT powered!
And remember, what ever happens as a result is solely your responsibility.
Good luck!

I need to disable the fans from a Gridseed I have here... Can the wires simply be cut and "sealed" with isolating tape?

I know with BFGMiner, you can specify which gridseed to use by selecting the COM port it's associated with.  I think for CGminer (it's been a while since I've used it) you can select just 1 gridseed, using something like --gridseed=\\.\COMx to select that specific gridseed.  Then open the second instance and use the other com port that the other gridseed is attached to.  I can't remember exactly how to run it because I use BFGMiner and Luke-JR answers those questions super fast.

Thanks, I know about  2 instances of CGminer, but I dont know which command I need to use for separation that gridseed asics

You have to run 2 instances of CGminer to let each unit hash separately, or run them both, add the second pool and use something like load balance.  It won't be the same though as running 2 instances of CGMiner

Hi, how do I run cgminer for a specific gridseed device? I have 2 gridseed 5 chips. GSD 0 and GSD 1 appears, how do I cgminer to run GSD 0 on one pool, and cgminer GSD 1 on another pool? I have cgminer 3.7.2 downloaded and already tried -d 0, -d 1 doesn’t work. Thanks

Hi guys! I'm sorry for bothering you, but I'm having unexpected hard time trying to mine in different pools and...well, I'm seeking help

So, first things first, this is my hardware:
1 raspberry pi mod. B
2 gridseeds mini (I use them in scrypt mode)

About the software, it's debian wheezy with the following:


and at this point I'm all good. But here's my problem: if I try to run both the gridseeds in the same stratum pool&worker they run fine, but I can't figure how to make them run on 2 different stratum pools!
reading the awesome OP's guide I thought this would work:


I've created 2 files, pool0.sh and pool1.sh with pools' details, and mine.sh.
But it doesn't work for me!  
also I've noticed that in the "mine.sh" code it uses CGminer syntax, while it's executing CPUminer (./minerd)...
so I've tried changing the folder and having it executing ./cgminer,
but once I run "mine.sh" it doesn't do anything, only the "chmod +x mine.sh" command resulting in this:
*instead of home/miner/ I use home/pi/ as default*

when I run it and then "screen -ls", it says that there are no screens-blablabla, so there isn't any cgminer instance working  
similar results using cpuminer...

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong! Does this "multipool method" work only on linux (Part 5A.1: Linux) but NOT on the raspberry?  
Is there anyone able to help me?  

Thanks for the patience...

Yep, 600 would do that to you. Try

--gridseed-options=freq=800,chips=5

in the command line, or

"gridseed-options": "freq=800,chips=5",

if you're using a config file.

Pretty sure I got it, the only issue is it's running at 250KH/s thought it was supposed to be 340KH/s (could be freq thing, think it's set to 600). And second I'm connected to HamsterPool but I see no hashing information on the website.

This is what I'm seeing:
