I can't for the life of me get this to work. Anytime I get to the "make" stage it gives the following error:

I've tried reinstalling GCC, different versions, etc. nothings working. I basically have a worthless gridseed. I've spent close to 10 hours just to get this to work, and another 15 hours on my RockMiner New RBox.

Did you look in config.log for more details? It should tell you exactly why it failed.

One thing that stands out for me is the CFLAGS -02 parameter (zero two). I think it should be -O2 (capital oh two).

Looks like you're right. CPUMiner compiled. Running into an issue with CGMiner though, ./autogen.sh appears to not exist in the ~/usb-miner/software/cgminer folder.

Powering them up isn't really that hard. Plug in the power first, wait a few seconds, then plug in the USB. The other way around confuses the gridseed. I bet that it's trying to power itself from the USB and is disregarding the actual power.

1. Make sure you have a minimum 5 Amp, 12V power supply for the gridseed. Lack of power will be bad for your miner.

2. Try a different pool. It could be that the pool you're running on is just a crappy pool. I've experienced this a few times with my gridseeds. Try using multipool.us (they have EU servers available) or if you want to see what difficulty you should be running at, try liteguardian.com and use the asic1 server to auto tune the difficulty. Once it evens out, you will know what difficulty you should be running it at.

3. Make sure you're using a low enough difficulty. Otherwise it will take a while to hash out a share. I've got 3 of them running together and they generally try a scrypt difficulty of 64 or 128. Sometimes if they're doing well, they bump up again.

4. If you have a crappy internet connection, that could also cause a problem.

Hmm... The PSU, which powering Gridseed have 18A output on +12V lines and 0.8A on -12V, Is it enough?
The pool is working fine (anyway, I've already tried different pools and another scrypt coins), there 2 x HD7970 mining at the same pool with different workers (Gridsees has it own worker set up on pool), so this is not an issue, I think...

Use BFGminer 4.10, uninstall your drivers, unplug your gridseed, plug it back in and let it install the correct drivers, find the COM number of the gridseed (under Start Menu>Devices and Printers), and create a batch file that has:

bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://pool:port -u username -p password -d gridseed -S gridseed:\\.\COMX --set-device gridseed@\\.\COMx:clock=875 and you're good to go!

Tried to use, and thanks - it gives some results, but again, I can't say, that it's working OK Sad

Bfgminer hashing with correct hasrates, but... Accepted rate as extremely low (not because of rejected, there is it's simply low count of submitted shares). The most of the time I see a messages, that there is detected new block on the network, so miner need to restart work, I think, that's because of high difficulty, that bfgminer automatically takes, from 488 to 1m. I've tried to use --request-diff parameter, but looks like it has no effect Sad

Here is the result of the ~1Hr work:

As you can see, there is a lot of rejects, because ASIC cant' hash workunit in time, and sending stale shares. Of course, I can turn off stale sending, but this will not solve an overall problem presence Sad

Is there any solution for this?

BTW: I saw on the forum, that there is need to do correct power-up the GC3355, so firstly, it's need to plug-in USB, then wait for 30 secs and plug 12V ext. power. Is this correct?

BTW2: After a few minutes from this message there was a ban from pool side "worker is temporaly banned". I think, because of rejects Sad

Hi to all.
Please, help me to solve a problem with GC3355. The miner is working unstable and with extremely low hasrates, 50-70Kh/s instead of 350 in scrypt-only mode, as it have to. Used several miner softwares, but the results are the same. Running on windows xp with usb driver from here. The power setup is: usb cable connected to motherboard usb port of PC, the external power is connected to the same PC's PSU via molex connector, which was in the box with ASIC.

At the start, miner says:

It's starting to mine, with such low hasrates, sometimes it dies after 10-15min of working with the UART write error message, sometime working OK for a few hours... Please, help me to get normal hasrates. What I doing wrong?..

Try btc=11 just for kicks...

Don't what that parameter means

, but when I set to zero (btc=0) cgminer only rises LW value and not sending accepted shares. 23Gh avg.
When I set to btc=1, It began to hash at 16Gh avg with some sending shares, but LW is increasing anyway.

May be the problem in usb hub? It has 2A in. The power supply for each gridseed is as usual 12v 5a.

Don't know what should I try yet.

Hey guys!

I have two 5-chip gridseeds. I was minig scrypt long time via RPi, but now i want to mine sha256. So, here is my trouble. cgminer (gridseed version) is minig at a half speed (~5Gh per device) with 800Mh clock. What I'm doing wrong?

The run command is standard: ./cgminer --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=800,chips=5,modules=1,usefifo=0,btc=16 --hotplug=0 -o someurl -u someuser -p somepass

P.S.: all minerd and other cgminer (for my ants) threads are shut off.

That means you GPU´s are not mining on bfgminer -> you can still run them with sgminer (x11, X13 etc..)

One question:
I have 2 GPU HD6870 in my system. And when I run the bfgminer i got the message OCL 0 & OCL 1 disable. This message mean my GPU's are disable right? Or is this means something else?
