running at 900mhz on cgminer for a few hours now.. really stable

getting about 385 kh/s

getting the same and more at 850MHz in cpuminer ... ;p

Don't think you can correctly read the hashrate on the pool side... my poolside is always higher and fluctuates.. i think cgminer does a pretty good job in reading actual hashrate vs shares accepted

Hmm, that doesn't make sense, where averaging is concerned.

I can only get 2 to run on windows 8.1. (in CGminer)

Anyone having more success with this? Help is appreciated.

This driver is for people trying to install the gridseed under windows 8.1 it is a link to the ST comm drivers. This is for Win 8.1 64 bit

dekar.wc3edit.net/st%20website/VCP_Setup.zip

This will work for CGminer? I have gotten it to work for the cpuminer just not cgminer.

I dont see the cp2102 to uart bridge controller only stcomm32

Check this page post 76 i believe. Explains how to set the COM ports to USB in the miner scrypt.

Leaserig stats are great to see GPU vs GridSeed:

You can't monitor and/or use remote monitor for your farm using cpuminer. Huge limitation if you have a decent size farm.

There are ways to monitor hashrates for bulk devices.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5485145

If you have a large farm it would be a good idea to install some custom scripts and cacti or a custom web front end to monitor and manage everything from one place.

Seems like two of the miners do not quite like 1000Mhz but it seems to work otherwise, do only --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=1000,chips=5 (or however fast you want or how many chips you want working) and --scrypt .

EDIT: 850Mhz worked much better, will experiment more.

I specifically ran only one miner vs 10 or 20 of them. The default should be all devices.

I didn't get any shares returned on linux ;(

I think I'll wait on this one as everything is running stable right now...

It seems they only have one miner working here: http://cryptomining-blog.com/1262-download-cgminer-3-7-2-for-windows-scrypt-mining-on-gridseed-5-chip-gc3355-asics/

I specifically ran only one miner vs 10 or 20 of them. The default should be all devices.

I didn't get any shares returned on linux ;(

I think I'll wait on this one as everything is running stable right now...

Is there a special arg to pass when running more than 1?

I got 1 to run but not more than that for some reason.

Also, in windows, when trying to install the usb drivers using Zadig, I can see the usb devices in the list but they are not called CP2102 etc.. They are named STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port. Therefore, when I install the WinUSB drivers, it shows to be installed but running cgminer says waiting for USB devices so it looks like they are not being found.

Have you guys experienced this?

Thanks.

Close cgminer... unplug the usb cable... count to 3 or wait for the beeps... plug it back in and wait... then launch and it should strat hashing.
