"pool 1 JSON stratum auth failed: (null)" when using P2Pool nodes on https://github.com/jmordica/cgminer-gc3355

Issue : Miner cant connect to P2P Nodes

Miner connects to normal pools w/o Problems, but on P2p we have a stratum auth failure.

Solution found by xmk3 (will post in here below me)

Right, so this is the best version of cgminer for modded gridseeds.  However, P2Pool mining is broken for this branch of cgminer-gc3355:
https://github.com/jmordica/cgminer-gc3355

To fix it you need this older branch (that doesn't support freqs above 1150):
https://github.com/girnyau/cgminer-gc3355/

Then you'll build the old branch, but first:

1) From the new branch, copy the driver-gridseed.c, and driver-gridseed.h into the old branch.

2) In the old branch, open miner.h and add the following code beneath line 1048:

extern char *opt_gridseed_freq;

3) In the old branch open cgminer.c and add the following code beneath line 178:

char *opt_gridseed_freq = NULL;

AND the following code block at line 1053:

static char *set_gridseed_freq(const char *arg)
{
        opt_set_charp(arg, &opt_gridseed_freq);

        return NULL;
}

After that, while in the directory for the old branch run:
./configure --enable-scrypt --enable-gridseed
make

And then you should be all set with high frequency support for P2Pool on your modded gridseed! Cheesy
This doesn't work for me with GridBlades: the "old" patched version is running at an extremely low hashrate (and from what I see, it misses fixes for number of chips, which explains it...).

Instead, it looks like the regression in the jmordica branch was introduced in the commit added support for NiceHash.com, I don't have much time to check what is wrong with the new code, but pulling the repository just before that and compiling it works fine for me (good hashrate+connection to p2pools). In case others are interested (but you obviously won't be able to mine at NiceHash.com... maybe it's better than not being able to mine at *any* p2pool Tongue ), here is the recipe I followed:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/jmordica/cgminer-gc3355/
cd cgminer-gc3355
git checkout f20c066127a843cc75b79a3a29f80cf890341ec6
./configure --enable-scrypt --enable-gridseed
make
./cgminer --script ...

Hi guys,

Will be great if someone could help with this one as I can't find any threads that lead to the problem.
Got the Gridseed GC3355 set up and got it mining in scrypt mode and BTC mode in Ubuntu.

When I then try dual mode with:

cd usb-miner/software/cpuminer
./minerd --freq=800 --url=stratum+tcp://stratum.scryptguild.com:3333 --userpass=xxxxx:xxxxx --dual

it gets stuck while trying to communicate with the server

Stratum detected new block
[2014-06-05 21:40:08] 0: Dispatching new work to GC3355 LTC core

While it's doing this the gh/s rate goes up in the terminal in BTC mode (from around 6ghs to 11ghs) but the connection's immediately lost with the pool I'm mining BTC on (BTC Guild).

Have I installed something incorrectly along the line or am I using the wrong pools?

Help me Obi Wan's, you're my only hope...






I was having the same problem , when i start minerd the cgminer  stop the comunication , i really didn't isolate the problem but i fixed using a hub with hight power supply, and changing the power supply  of the miners , the one i was  using was reporting voltage  under 12v. i hope  you can solve the problem

so it could be power supply! this makes sense. I've actually got a power supply that's got six connectors so maybe it's losing power somehow...

thanks for the suggestion.

hi  , im trying to use gridseeds 5 chips (dualmining) with antminers u2 , but cgminer freeze at start, the only way to work is unplug the antsminer, start mining with cgminer with gridseed  and cpuminer for scrypt , and after that plug the antminers and and use bfgminer with the antminers, any way to use the cgminer for mining with both? or a command to avoid the unplung of the antminer to start the cgminer.


thanks in advanced for the help

Hello to all the bitcoiners, im here praying for some help, the problem is related with BTC mode in a gridseed.

The same proble in Linux and Windows, i have an Asus P8H67 mobo with an Intel G1620, 4GB of RAM and a AMD 5970&7870, i also tried dual mining with a Gigabyte Z77X-D3H with an i5 2500K and a venerable 8800GTX. I tried with Ubuntu 12.04.2 and Windows 7 Ultimate, 64bits both.

I managed to mine scrypt on both PC with windows but BTC/dual mode is imposible, again and again cgminer throws me an LIBUSB error, i googled a litle bit but the LIBUSB web dont give me any kind of help. Im using this guide with the cgminer suggested, im stucked here by since last thursday. If someone is capable of help me with this i will send him a bounty

I have to append that gridseed is plugged in a USB2 port, i tried to connect to differents ports and i run cgminer with sudo comand.

Hi

So i have 2 Gridseeds, and am using CGMiner for them to hash in SHA256 (at around 12.5GHS total) and CPUMiner for Scrypt (at around 600mhs total) - Connected to a Windows 7 PC.


I've read they should be able to hash upto 11GHS each in SHA256 only mode, but i can't figure out how to get them upto those speeds in SHA256 only?

Any advise?

Thanks

Hi, you need to overclock them and simply not activate the cpuminer (scrypt) side of the device.

Apparently, when the sha cores are hashing and LTC core are hashing they limit each others speed.

The max Dual core speed is 750mhz, however scrypt only mode will runs stably between 850/900mhz (depending on the quality of the chips). Apparently, the same speeds applies to the Sha core 850/900mhz (depending on the quality of the chips).

Very few people are dual mining and software is pretty ropey and crashes a lot. Nearly all the work on forum's contributors has gone into the Scrypt only option (Sandor111 has produced an excellent cpuminer at moment).

You may want to open up your gridseeds and check the thermal pad is touching all the Gridseeds chips (use a dab of MX-4 thermal paste or something else that is a non-metallic paste).

Secondly, after installing the stsw-stm32102 and before install the Zadig drivers - go to device manager. Select "Ports" and "Properties" and "Advanced" setting. Unselect the Fifo Buffers and you get longer runs in dual mode before needing to reset. Then you can install the Zadig drivers.

The overclocking/voldmodding is on this link:

HELP!

I had 10 of my 25 blades crash yesterday unexpectantly, and now they'll power on(the fan spins), but no lights come on at all. I've tried other gridseeds on the same USB/Pi , and they work without issue. I've tried cycling the power on both the 5V and 12V connections, but nothing seems to be working. Any suggestions? Whats the process for RMA?

Hi

Does anyone know how any software that will automatically reset my USB ports every 4 hours. On Windows 7 whilst dual mining my Gridseeds need resetting every 4 hours.

Help would be very much appreciated

My solution was switching to Linux Wink

Which version of linux did you use? There are so many to choose from?

Hi
Yes there are loads to choose from
but why not use one that is working with the right information on this thread.

I used this
http://www.ubuntu.com


download and install it on your PC

then follow this

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 ..

=============This is the one for Gridseed blades ==============
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 you out.



Hi, I forgot to mention in my original question that I needed dual mining mode, because I'm mining BTC and Scrypt. The problem only occurs in dual mode. Scrypt only mode works perfectly with cpuminer made by Sandor111. I think you instructions are for scrypt!

My mistake, please accept my apology for that!

Truth is a consensus among neurons www.synereo.com
Really ? I just started it after made the config with my pools. It detects all my gsd, also gets new jobs but they get no hashrate. Also in my pool there is shown zero hashrate. Is the config made for the blades ? With bfgminer i had the same problem with shutting down. Did you have same problems ?

Same for me with the normal, small gridseeds. Can't find a solution posted anywhere.

Edit: had to install this: http://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/tools/PF257938#
Found this in a comment in the crypto mining blog.......
