How long before someone can get these things to dual mine under windows.
how are the single chip usb drives dual mining under windows?

http://cryptomining-blog.com/1245-download-cgminer-3-8-5-for-windows-btc-mining-on-gridseed-5-chip-gc3355-asics/

I downloaded it but no how to for install a WinUSB driver over the virtual COM to USB driver. I tried doing a web search, I installed CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers but i still dont know how to do what this is asking

Thank you miaviator, nice guide and easy for someone like me to follow, I have however two questions.

1) my miner works for about 5 min submitting shares then just continues to "dispatching new work to gc3355 ltc core"? Exactly 1 min apart

2) the default core speed of 600 seams a little low according to your guide, Should I try and get around 750 with it?

Can someone help me with the correct way to start two gridseed miners on my raspberry pi, and that i can check both of them with the screen function? I used the code below first i start the first miner, than i exit putty, login again and run the second miner. But i had them running for 6 hours now and they didn't work. My pool says that there was no activity! What do i have to do different ?

Start first miner:
minerd --freq=850 -G /dev/ttyACM0 --url=stratum+tcp://eu.wafflepool.com:3333 --userpass=16WGeQ1c4atRnQ3EfdeTMyVWrkt16hzcwg:x

Second miner:

minerd --freq=850 -G /dev/ttyACM1 --url=stratum+tcp://eu.wafflepool.com:3333 --userpass=16WGeQ1c4atRnQ3EfdeTMyVWrkt16hzcwg:x

When i try to use the screen command after is started everything it says that there are not screens active!

You have to run these in a screen session

if you just run minerd and then exit the ssh session minerd will close.

you can use screen -S miner1 minerd --freq=850 -G /dev/ttyACM0 --url=stratum+tcp://eu.wafflepool.com:3333 --userpass=16WGeQ1c4atRnQ3EfdeTMyVWrkt16hzcwg:x

then press Ctl+a Ctl+d to get to a terminal window and repeat for the second miner.

Code:

C:\Users\DAEMONFOX\Desktop\cgminer-4.0.0-windows>C:\Users\DAEMONFOX\Desktop\cgmi
ner-4.0.0-windows\cgminer.exe -n
 [2014-03-05 15:28:17] USB all: found 8 devices - listing known devices

 [2014-03-05 15:28:17] No known USB devices

C:\Users\DAEMONFOX\Desktop\cgminer-4.0.0-windows>

I assume since cpuminer found COM4 for my miner and had zero issues hashing that the above means the windows binaries of cgminer just don't have the gridseed code compiled into them?

If so... anyone care to take a stab at making those pulls into a win binary?

Anyone here has their gridseed 5 chip device running on a Pi?

I compiled and ran but I never get an accepted share. Here is what I get

Any help?

Ps. I'm not using a hub. I got the device connected directly to the Pi.

How long did you let it run for?

Have you tried a different pool or coin?

I ran it for about 20 mins now, still nothing. I got 7 other devices mining on my Windows PC to the same pool and they work just fine.

USE a powered HUB and see if it works.

Or unplug the power cord and leave the device plugged into the Pi. See if the green and red lights blink. Then go back to #1....

I suspect that it will not work being plugged directly into the Pi. I can confirm that connecting a single unit directly into the wiibox controller does not work even though it lights up the LEDs with the power unplugged from the 5 chip Gridseed.

screen split automatically

http://imgur.com/pXRC5ae

I think that was done by hand not by script...

http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/manual/screen.html

or an easier guide: http://tomlee.co/2011/10/gnu-screen-splitting/

thank youuu Kiss

i can study Roll Eyes

EDIT: if you are using the root account and have files stored in /root/ you will have to change all of the /home/miner/ paths to /root/

Oddly enough I can make that setup happen via script:

pool0.sh - pool9.sh

Code:

POOL="-o stratum+tcp://us.clevermining.com:3333 -u 13zKJjzxGpjbqJDAWAhFNHVqALqcsCWiat -p x"
FREQ="800"

cd /home/miner/cpuminer/
./minerd -F $FREQ -G /dev/ttyACM9 $POOL

aio_screen

Code:

screen -t miner0  /home/miner/pool0.sh
split
split -v
focus down
screen -t miner1 /home/miner/pool1.sh
focus down
screen -t miner2 /home/miner/pool2.sh
split
split -v
focus down
screen -t miner3 /home/miner/pool3.sh
focus down
screen -t miner4 /home/miner/pool4.sh
split
split -v
focus down
screen -t miner5 /home/miner/pool5.sh
focus down
screen -t miner6 /home/miner/pool6.sh
split
split -v
focus down
screen -t miner7 /home/miner/pool7.sh
focus down
screen -t miner8 /home/miner/pool8.sh
split -v
focus down
screen -t miner9 /home/miner/pool9.sh

Then as root run

Code:

 screen -c /home/miner/aio_screen

Should output 10 consoles like this: I only ran one actual unit in the window as a test.

The only issue I had was that upon detaching and reattaching to the screen session or starting detached all of the windows reset to windows with no positioning Sad

I need some help, I am going to smash this %$*(% wiibox controller I cannot get the damn thing to work. I can log into the page for it but it tells me No BTC equipment! and NO LTC equipment.

I have 5v power to the mini usb on it i have a powered hub connected to the large usb on it and I have a network cable connected to the back of my router on it. I have no idea why it has two network ports. and i do not know what the little button is for.
I and open a web page and see the crappy chinese webpage for the device and enter settings but it says No BTC equipment! and NO LTC equipment under each item. I have had the miner running scrypt fine directly under windows but I would like to take advantage of its dual mining abilities. This stupid piece of crap controller is starting to frustrate the shit out of me. Also what is the little jumper on it for.

Here is a pic of how it should be connected.

This thread has some translation pics that might help in deciphering wiibox.net https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5463728. Once you update to 2.0.3, you can just go the ip address and enter pool info there.

Write out the worker IDs as follows for better stability (only use the number of actual miners you have hooked up):

worker_1, worker_2, worker_3, worker_4, worker_5, worker_6, worker_7, worker_8, worker_9, worker_10

Screenshot the page and the wiibox please.

TOP Full size usb and 2 ethernet, Left side micro usb and small button, bottom right 3 pins looks like a jumper. I had to head back to work and did not already have a screenshot of the IP page of the controller box with me. Which USB port is to go to the hub, I have to full size to the hub and the micro to the 5v Power is this correcT?
Also when logging into the box through a web browser half the time it just hangs and causes me to lose all internet and i have to restart my router

You are hooked up correctly.

Restarting your router sounds like an odd side effect of this.

You have a pc wired to the router and the wiibox wired to the same router with DHCP enabled on the router?

Yes, and it does not happen all the time. but the wiibox still does not see the gridseed miner it says No BTC Equipment, No LTC Equipment
